Naoyo Kimura has contributed Pokémon TCG illustrations from 2000 to 2025, spanning Aquapolis, Southern Islands, and Sword & Shield. The work leans playful and lighthearted, with balanced, character-focused staging and vibrant, softly watercolor-leaning color.
“In the scene depicted on the Skuntank card, the Pokémon stands poised in a shadowy environment, with a traditional Japanese pagoda in the background. The twilight setting casts a warm glow, highlighting Skuntank's distinctive features and the subtle tension in its posture. This moment captures a sense of alertness, as if Skuntank is ready to react to any potential threat in its surroundings. The atmosphere feels both mysterious and slightly foreboding, reflecting the character's nature.”
