Shin Nagasawa

Shin Nagasawa has illustrated Pokémon TCG cards from 2009 to 2025, with work appearing across Sun & Moon, Sword & Shield, and Scarlet & Violet. The art leans into action-forward clarity—vibrant, contrasting color and focused, character-led staging.

Curatorial Commentary

“The card depicts Hippopotas in a dynamic moment, surrounded by swirling sand as it moves through its environment. Its rounded body and playful expression suggest a carefree nature, embodying the charm of this Ground-type Pokémon. The backdrop hints at a bustling sandy landscape, where Hippopotas seems to be on a little adventure, perhaps in search of food or just enjoying the moment. This snapshot captures the essence of its playful spirit amidst the chaos of its surroundings.”
