Looking for adorable binder inspiration within the Tetsu Kayama theme? This Pink Binder roundup highlights Slowking, Exeggcute, Applin, Bramblin, and Parasect — each with its own in-depth Pokémon card guide so you can compare artwork, sets, and display ideas without endless searching.

This list ranks Pokémon illustrated by Tetsu Kayama by Pink Binder cute-taxonomy tags (Pink Brigade, Babies, Tiny & Adorable, pastel icons, and similar) — not by TCG price or competitive meta. Card art by Tetsu Kayama is shown throughout.

Mini binder spread

A 3×3 spread across two pages — four Michi Method scenes (two per page, random wide slots; each spans two side-by-side pockets) plus one chase card per ranked Pokémon in the open singles. Layout is seeded per post so it stays consistent on rebuild; not print-ready.
