About the artist

tetsuya koizumi’s Pokémon TCG credits run from 2017 through 2021, with work appearing across Sun & Moon and Sword & Shield era sets. Notable placements include Unified Minds, Unbroken Bonds, and Fusion Strike, reflecting a steady presence across multiple expansions during this period.

Across these cards, koizumi’s approach reads as cartoonish and vividly colorful, often built around balanced compositions that keep the subject clear and immediately legible. Playful, lighthearted energy is reinforced through simple, focused framing, while select illustrations push into more dynamic arrangements with action-forward movement and character-focused staging. Vibrant palettes—sometimes warm or contrasting—support the upbeat tone without crowding the scene. A representative example is Morgrem.
