About the artist

Souichirou Gunjima is credited on Pokémon Trading Card Game artwork from 2019 through 2025, spanning 83 cards. The illustrator appears prominently across the Sword & Shield and Scarlet & Violet series, with additional credits in SWSH Black Star Promos, where the images often read cleanly at a glance while still carrying lively detail.

Gunjima’s visuals lean colorful and cartoon-inflected, with a playful, energetic mood supported by dynamic compositions. Many pieces use balanced layouts and foreground emphasis to keep the subject clear, pairing character-focused staging with moments of action and crisp, contrasting color. Revavroom ex (sv3-224) highlights this approach with vivid palette control and a focused presentation. Among the most sought-after cards illustrated by Souichirou Gunjima is Pikachu VMAX (swsh11tg-TG17).
