Keiji Kinebuchi

Keiji Kinebuchi is credited on Pokémon Trading Card Game cards from 1999 to 2018, with artwork appearing across Base, Gym, and XY-era releases. The work is marked by simple, clear compositions, playful cartoon-inflected forms, and vibrant yet often limited palettes.

Curatorial Commentary

“The card depicts a gym setting with a large, flat platform that has a red and black design. Surrounding the platform are rocky walls and flowing lava, creating a volcanic atmosphere. The scene suggests a location where Pokémon battles take place.”
