Shin Nagasawa

Shin Nagasawa has been credited on Pokémon Trading Card Game illustrations from 2009 through 2025. Across more than 300 cards, the work appears prominently in Sun & Moon, Sword & Shield, and Scarlet & Violet, with additional presence in SM Black Star Promos and other expansions. Alongside trading card illustrations, Nagasawa’s background includes cartooning and broader design work for animated television shows and video games.

Visually, the cards favor dynamic, energetic presentation with balanced compositions that keep the subject readable at a glance. Character-focused framing and foreground emphasis recur, often paired with playful, lighthearted moods even when the action intensifies. Color is typically vibrant and contrasting, supporting clear silhouettes and crisp focal points, while the overall finish remains clean and digital in feel. A representative example is Gyarados VMAX. Among the most sought-after cards illustrated by Shin Nagasawa is Celebi & Venusaur-GX.
