He also was heavily involved in promoting the TCG and ended up being pictured or drawing art for several of the cards. He is also in the band Suzukisan.

Imakuni? is also credited as the author of the Pokémon Tales picture book "Come Out, Squirtle!".

In Pokémon Card GB

Imakuni? appears as a special hidden opponent in Template:Card GB. His event is activated by talking to people in the Water Club and then he will randomly begin to appear in the lounge sections of the various clubs. When he is in the room, unusual music will play. When the player talks to him, he will sing music from the Pokémon anime and then entice the player to dance, finally challenging the player to a card game.

He uses the Strange Lifeform Imakuni? Deck. After defeating him repeatedly, he gives the player the Imakuni? Trainer card, which simply makes the user's own Pokémon confused when used. After you beat him a certain number of times, he will give you 4 packs of cards, one from each set.
