About the artist

Ayako Ozaki’s Pokémon TCG credits date to 2025, with 12 cards appearing primarily in Scarlet & Violet-era releases. Recent work is concentrated across Destined Rivals, Journey Together, and Black Bolt, presenting a consistent approach to character-forward scenes and clean, readable staging.

Across these illustrations, Ozaki leans into cartoonish, playful drawing with a cheerful, lighthearted mood. Compositions stay balanced and often simple, using focused framing to keep the subject clear, while occasional dynamic setups add a sense of motion without crowding the image. Color choices favor vibrant, natural palettes, sometimes softened for a gentler finish, and warmed when the scene calls for extra lift. A representative card is Yanma.
