yuu

Credited from 2022 through 2025, yuu has illustrated more than 30 Pokémon TCG cards across Scarlet & Violet and Sword & Shield, with frequent appearances in Scarlet & Violet, Paldean Fates, and Paldea Evolved. The portfolio also includes Trainer cards, extending the same character-forward clarity across different card types.

Across these credits, yuu’s approach reads as cartoonish and anime-leaning, built around clean character design and a consistently playful, energetic mood. Compositions tend toward balanced, focused staging—often with foreground emphasis—then shift into dynamic framing when motion is needed, keeping silhouettes readable and expressions direct. Color is typically vibrant, softened by pastel passages and harmonious contrasts that maintain a lighthearted tone. A representative card is Iris's Fighting Spirit. Among the most sought-after cards illustrated by yuu is Iono.
