==Work for the TCG==

He uses his eye for color and detail to give the Pokémon he depicts character and depth, making his images very striking and distinctive. He provided illustrations for all {{TCG|Pokémon ☆}} in the TCG, which are perhaps his most prominent as he purposefully exaggerates the angles and colors used to make them stand out. In addition to providing artwork for the cards themselves, he has also provided artwork for deck kits and special packs in Japan, as well as booster packs and theme decks for English and European releases. In particular, he provided work for the {{TCG|Majestic Dawn}} set for booster packs as well as theme decks, {{TCG|Polar Frost}}, and {{TCG|Forest Force}}. His favorite Pokémon is {{p|Lugia}}.
