5ban Graphics

Pokémon card illustrator

5ban Graphics is an in-house CG art studio within Creatures, Inc. (the developer of the Pokémon TCG) whose name derives from Creatures' former address at 10 Gobancho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. Active since the Black & White era, the studio has illustrated over 1,400 cards across every modern series through Scarlet & Violet, specializing in polished 3D CGI that makes Pokémon feel sculptural and cinematic. They are responsible for a large share of Full Art, Gold Secret Rare, Rainbow Rare, Pokémon V, and VMAX cards — including high-value collector pieces such as Charizard VMAX and Mew VMAX — as well as the majority of Trainer and Item card illustrations.
