Cards by Yusuke Ohmura: TCG Illustrator Guide

Yusuke Ohmura (Japanese: 大村祐介 Ōmura Yūsuke, born July 6, 1981) is an illustrator of the artwork for Pokémon games since Diamond and Pearl. He has drawn several characters for the core series games starting with Black and White, such as Gym Leaders and the Elite Four of Unova.

Ohmura created the designs for Piplup, Oshawott, and the game mascots of Pokémon X and Y, Xerneas and Yveltal. Initial design for the two Legendary Pokémon was started by Ken Sugimori, but after he encountered 'artist's block', he gave the work to Ohmura, who furthered the designs. Sugimori later returned to finish them. In Pokémon Sun and Moon, he became the lead of Pokémon designer, switching his role with Sugimori.

In 2016, Ohmura left Game Freak and became a freelance illustrator.
