Staraptor
Atsushi Furusawa
Atsushi Furusawa has been credited on Pokémon TCG illustrations from 2019 to 2025, spanning Sword & Shield and Scarlet & Violet releases. The work leans colorful and anime-adjacent, with playful moods, vibrant palettes, and balanced compositions that still read as dynamic.
“The Staraptor card captures a moment of this majestic bird soaring through a misty forest, its wings outstretched and feathers ruffled by the wind. The background, filled with soft greens and grays, creates a serene atmosphere that contrasts with the bird's fierce gaze, suggesting both power and grace. This snapshot feels like a glimpse into the wild, where Staraptor commands its territory with confidence. It embodies the spirit of independence, a reminder of the untamed beauty of nature.”
