PLANETA

Pokémon card illustrator

PLANETA is a Japanese 3D CG illustration studio founded by Hideaki Hakozaki in September 2011 and based in Higashi-nihombashi, Tokyo, credited collectively on Pokémon TCG cards beginning with the XY Flashfire expansion. The studio specializes in polished 3D computer-generated imagery, contributing high-impact artwork for powerful Legendaries and EX-rarity cards across the XY and early Sun & Moon eras, with notable illustrations including multiple Charizard EX, Rayquaza EX, Solgaleo-GX, and Lunala-GX cards. Beyond card art, PLANETA has produced key visuals for Pokémon GO, worked on packaging and promotional materials during the Black & White series, and contributed character models to mainline games; starting with the Forbidden Light expansion, individual studio artists began receiving their own named credits (e.g., PLANETA Mochizuki, PLANETA Tsuji).
