About the artist

KEIICHIRO ITO is credited on 51 Pokémon TCG cards released between 2019 and 2025. Their illustrations appear across Sword & Shield and Scarlet & Violet, with recurring placements in sets including Fusion Strike, Scarlet & Violet, and Paradox Rift.

Across these cards, the visual approach favors colorful digital rendering with a playful, energetic mood. Compositions tend to stay balanced and tightly focused, often pushing the subject forward through action-oriented staging and clear foreground emphasis. Color choices frequently lean vibrant and contrasting, supporting crisp silhouettes and readable motion without crowding the frame. Umbreon VMAX is a clear example of this character-first clarity, pairing dynamic framing with bold color contrast. Among the most sought-after cards illustrated by KEIICHIRO ITO is Umbreon VMAX.
