MARINA Chikazawa

Pokémon card illustrator

MARINA Chikazawa (Japanese: 近澤マリナ) is a Japanese freelance illustrator who joined the Pokémon TCG after winning a Judges' Award at the Pokémon Card Illustration Contest 2022, with a Charizard entry submitted under the pseudonym Nanaü. She made her official debut with the "Community Center" stadium card in the Scarlet & Violet–Twilight Masquerade expansion and has since illustrated 29 cards across multiple SV-era sets including Crimson Haze, Stellar Crown, and Battle Partners, often depicting Ghost- and Bug-type Pokémon alongside atmospheric location cards. Her style is characterised by soft lighting, painterly mood, and a strong sense of place.
