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.
“The card features Piplup, a small penguin-like Pokémon, perched on a rock near a gentle stream. The water splashes around it, creating a lively atmosphere that captures a moment of playfulness in its natural habitat. Piplup's bright colors and curious expression convey a sense of innocence and wonder, inviting viewers to share in its exploration. This scene feels serene yet energetic, a glimpse into the joyful life of this Water-type Pokémon.”
