Uninori
Uninori (Japanese: 雲丹海苔) is an illustrator for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, their first work being published in 2024 with Grotle from the Temporal Forces expansion. As early as 2018, Uninori submitted various pieces to Pokémon's TCG Illustration Contests.
Judging from posts on social media, Uninori is heavily inspired by a variety of artists, namely Pokémon's Ken Sugimori and Kagemaru Himeno, as well as Dragon Ball and Dragon Quest artist Akira Toriyama.[2] This inspiration is further reflected in their style for the TCG, which was described in a Pokémon.com article as evoking the art style of the manga and anime industries during the 1990s.[3]
Uninori's favorite Trainer battle theme is from Johto.[4]
