About the artist

Yano Keiji’s Pokémon TCG credits span 2023–2025, with work appearing primarily in the Scarlet & Violet series and a smaller presence in Sword & Shield. The largest cluster of cards is found in Twilight Masquerade, alongside credits in 151 and Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery.

Across these illustrations, abstract and geometric styling is carried by layered construction and consistently balanced staging, often pushed into more dynamic, bold framing. Color handling leans vibrant and bright, with occasional pastel and earthy notes used to keep the palette harmonious even when contrasts sharpen the scene. The overall mood reads playful and energetic, with moments that shift toward dreamy or tranquil without losing clarity of form. A representative card is Hearthflame Mask Ogerpon ex.
