Mina Nakai
Mina Nakai has been credited on Pokémon TCG illustrations from 2016 to 2025, spanning Sword & Shield, Sun & Moon, and Scarlet & Violet. The work favors cartoonish, watercolor-leaning charm, with balanced, character-forward staging and vibrant, pastel-tinted color.
“The Mankey card captures a moment of tension, showcasing the Pokémon perched on a branch with a fierce expression. Its body is tense, and its eyes convey a sense of alertness, as if it's ready to spring into action at any moment. The vibrant colors of the background, transitioning from warm hues to darker shades, enhance the feeling of urgency and intensity in the scene. This snapshot reflects Mankey's spirited nature and its connection to the treetop environment it calls home.”
