About the artist

kodama’s Pokémon TCG credits run from 2016 through 2025, with work appearing across Sword & Shield, Sun & Moon, and Scarlet & Violet. The catalog includes Trainer cards alongside a wide spread of Pokémon types, with frequent appearances in sets such as Vivid Voltage, Fusion Strike, and Unbroken Bonds.

Across these illustrations, a whimsical, cartoon-leaning approach is paired with vibrant color palettes and clean, readable structure. Compositions tend to stay balanced even when the scene turns action-forward, using focused staging and foreground emphasis to keep the subject clear. Moods skew playful and energetic, often supported by contrasting color choices that heighten clarity without crowding the frame. A representative card is Virizion.
