About the artist

Nobuhiro Imagawa’s Pokémon TCG credits run from 2023 to 2025, appearing primarily in the Scarlet & Violet era with an additional card in Sword & Shield. Sets include Obsidian Flames, Paldean Fates, and Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery, where the illustrations favor direct readability and character-first presentation.

Across these cards, Imagawa’s approach is guided by playful, cartoonish drawing and a lighthearted mood, often built on balanced, simple compositions with clear silhouettes. Color tends toward vibrant, sometimes softened with pastel or earthy notes, and the framing frequently keeps the subject centered or foreground-focused against uncluttered space. Solrock (Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery) highlights this craft: a clean, approachable setup that prioritizes shape, color harmony, and immediate visual clarity. Among the most sought-after cards illustrated by Nobuhiro Imagawa is Klink.
