Noriko Hotta

Noriko Hotta is credited on Pokémon Trading Card Game artwork from 2010 to 2011. Their illustrations appear chiefly across the HeartGold & SoulSilver series, with frequent placements in Call of Legends, HS—Undaunted, and HS—Triumphant. The dataset records work on both Pokémon and Trainer cards, with contributions concentrated in this period.

Across these cards, Hotta’s approach is largely digital and illustrative, often leaning playful and energetic. Compositions tend toward a clear, focused subject with balanced layouts, occasionally shifting into more dynamic, action-forward staging. Color is typically vibrant and contrasting, with softer or pastel accents appearing in select pieces. A representative card is Leafeon (HGSS—Triumphant 17), which reflects the artist’s character-centric clarity and bright palette. Among the most sought-after cards illustrated by Noriko Hotta is Rayquaza (Call of Legends SL10).
