Keiji Kinebuchi

Pokémon card illustrator

Keiji Kinebuchi (1956–c.2002) was one of the original 3D/CGI artists of the Pokémon TCG, building his artwork in LightWave 3D. His instantly recognizable renders defined the look of the earliest expansions, and as the game grew he came to handle almost all of the early Trainer card art. His work appeared through the Aquapolis expansion before he passed away around 2002.
