KIYOTAKA OSHIYAMA
32 cards illustrated by KIYOTAKA OSHIYAMA.
Oshiyama is the closest the card game gets to a proper anime director — because that's exactly what he is, running his own animation studio when he's not drawing cards. And it shows: his cards look like frames lifted straight out of an anime film, bold and colourful and packed with movement and little jokes. Look closely and you'll catch May hanging off a charging Blaziken's leg, or a Smeargle sneaking a selfie with a Bibarel. He made a splash straight away with the Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX alt in Battle Styles, and hasn't let up since. If you love cards with real personality and cinematic energy, he's a must.
