'''5ban Graphics''' is a group of artists within [[Creatures, Inc.]] who have illustrated many cards for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] from {{TCG|Black & White}} onward. The group has designed many {{TCG|Trainer Card}}s, as well as many {{TCG|Full Art card}}s and [[Pokémon]] cards for the Black and White, {{TCG|XY}}, {{TCG|Sun & Moon}}, {{TCG|Sword & Shield}}, and {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet}} TCG Series.

In 2012, a brief interview about the creation of card artwork was posted on the Creatures, Inc. PTCG blog in which they state they like to make the Pokémon look 3D along with exemplifying the best qualities of the Pokémon when possible so they stand out on their own. The group's name is a reference to Creatures' former address at 10 Gobancho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120206080048/http://ptcg.creatures.co.jp/column/687 PTCG Blog ポケモンカードができるまで　～イラスト編～ (Japanese, archived)]</ref>
