Benimaru Itoh
Benimaru Itoh is credited on two Pokémon TCG illustrations from 1999–2000, appearing in Wizards Black Star Promos and Gym Heroes. The work leans cartoonish and dynamic, with bold, simple staging and shifts between vibrant contrast and more muted, earthy tones.
“The card depicts Brock's Onix emerging from the earth, surrounded by a swirling mass of rocks and energy. This moment captures the essence of Onix as a powerful and grounded creature, showcasing its connection to the rocky terrain it inhabits. The swirling energy adds a dynamic feel, suggesting movement and strength in this snapshot of its world. The scene invites the viewer to appreciate the raw power of Onix as it tunnels through the ground.”
