About the artist

Atsuko Ujiie’s Pokémon TCG credits span 2003–2004, concentrated in EX: Team Magma vs Team Aqua, with a further appearance in Skyridge within the E-Card era. Across these releases, the illustrations favor direct readability: focused subjects, balanced layouts, and simple, clear silhouettes that keep the action legible at card scale.

The visual approach blends cartoonish and traditional touches with occasional realistic detail, shifting between lighthearted, whimsical beats and more intense, energetic moments. Color tends toward warm, vibrant palettes, sometimes sharpened by contrast, supporting action-forward framing without crowding the scene. A representative card is Team Magma’s Houndour. Among the most sought-after cards illustrated by Atsuko Ujiie is Buried Fossil.
