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 depicts Team Aqua's Carvanha swimming through turbulent waters, surrounded by swirling currents that convey a sense of motion and energy. The vibrant colors of the Pokémon contrast with the deep blues of the ocean, highlighting its fierce expression and predatory nature. This moment captures Carvanha's role as a fierce and agile swimmer, embodying the thrill of life beneath the waves. The scene feels alive, drawing the viewer into the dynamic world of the ocean.”
