Reiko Tanoue

Reiko Tanoue is credited on Pokémon Trading Card Game cards from 2009 to 2012. With two known cards, Tanoue’s artwork appears in the Platinum-era set Arceus and the Black & White-era set Next Destinies, including illustrations of Panpour and Sceptile.

Across this small body of work, the visuals align with a cartoonish, anime-leaning approach and a lighthearted, whimsical mood. Compositions read as balanced and focused, with moments of dynamic energy. Color choices favor bright, soft, and pastel-tinged palettes, often with natural greens. A representative card is Panpour (bw4-28). Among the most sought-after cards illustrated by Reiko Tanoue is Sceptile (pl4-30).
