About the artist

Kariya’s Pokémon TCG credits span 2022–2025, with work concentrated in the Scarlet & Violet series. Cards appear across sets including Obsidian Flames, Twilight Masquerade, and Paradox Rift, building a compact body of illustrations that also includes Trainer cards.

Across these pieces, Kariya leans into whimsical, cartoon-leaning drawing with a playful, lighthearted mood. Compositions are most often balanced, then pushed with dynamic accents that keep the framing active without losing clarity. Color choices tend toward vibrant palettes, frequently tempered by natural and pastel notes for a softer finish. Among the most sought-after cards illustrated by Kariya is Ethan's Adventure.
