Yoriyuki Ikegami

Pokémon card illustrator

Yoriyuki Ikegami (イケガミ ヨリユキ) is a Japanese illustrator and character designer who debuted in the Pokémon TCG with the special illustration rare "Gardenia's Vigor" in Crown Zenith (2023) and has since illustrated over 35 cards across the Sword & Shield and Scarlet & Violet eras, including cards in the Pokémon Card 151 set and TCG Pocket. Their work strongly favors Grass-type Pokémon — Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Venusaur ex, Paras, Parasect, Skiploom, Combee, Budew, and Applin appear repeatedly — rendered in lush botanical compositions where Pokémon are nestled among flowers, foliage, and natural scenery. Beyond the TCG, Ikegami works as an illustrator and animator, having contributed to animation productions, and maintains a portfolio at sadnight.jimdofree.com with social presence as @YORIYUKIII.
