Shigenori Negishi

Shigenori Negishi has been credited on Pokémon Trading Card Game illustrations from 2011 through 2025. Across more than 150 cards, the work appears throughout series including Sword & Shield, Sun & Moon, and XY, with additional presence in sets such as Fusion Strike and Cosmic Eclipse.

Negishi’s images read as cartoonish and playful, shaped by lighthearted, energetic moods and clear, balanced compositions. Character-focused staging and foreground emphasis keep the subject immediate, while simple structures leave room for expressive posing and action-forward framing when needed. Color is typically vibrant, often pushed with contrasting accents, and occasionally softened with pastel or warm notes to maintain a cheerful tone. A representative highlight is Shining Jirachi. Among the most sought-after cards illustrated by Shigenori Negishi is Blaziken VMAX.
