Akira Komayama (born 15 September 1981) went freelance in 2009 and was illustrating Pokémon cards within a year, starting with a BW-P promo Pansage; English collectors first met him through Magby and Eevee in the 2011 Call of Legends set. He now sits on over 230 official cards plus a further 48 in Pokémon TCG Pocket, working in a clean, brightly lit digital style that has also carried over into Pokémon Horizons and merchandise pieces such as the Lana-themed sleeves. He runs a dedicated Pokémon-only Twitter account at @P_AkiraKomayama, separate from his personal portfolio at dekopooon.jp.
