Sanosuke Sakuma
Sanosuke Sakuma has illustrated Pokémon TCG cards from 2013 to 2025, spanning series such as Sword & Shield, Sun & Moon, and XY. The work favors vibrant, playful color with balanced, character-forward compositions that keep action readable and light.
“The card captures Houndour in a moment of focus, standing alert against a backdrop of rocky terrain bathed in warm hues of dawn. Its posture suggests determination, as it grips a rope, perhaps preparing for a task that requires teamwork or strength. The scene conveys a sense of loyalty and readiness, characteristic of this Dark-type Pokémon. Houndour's presence in this environment feels both grounded and purposeful.”
