About the artist

Nagomi Nijo’s Pokémon TCG credits run from 2021 to 2023, with artwork appearing across the Sword & Shield and Scarlet & Violet eras. Within this span, placements include Fusion Strike, Obsidian Flames, and Brilliant Stars, alongside additional appearances in sets such as Crown Zenith and Paldea Evolved.

Across these cards, a colorful, cartoon-leaning approach is paired with lighthearted, cheerful atmosphere. Compositions tend toward dynamic framing while staying balanced and clear, often keeping the subject forward and readable. Vibrant palettes dominate, frequently supported by contrasting accents and occasional softer, harmonious passages that keep the energy controlled rather than crowded. A representative example is Porygon2 (swsh6-117), where playful tone and crisp staging align with the illustrator’s preference for lively color and clean, engaging structure. Among the most sought-after cards illustrated by Nagomi Nijo is Goodra (swsh8-197).
