About Masakazu Fukuda
Masakazu Fukuda is best known for illustrating the Pokémon ☆ (Gold Star) cards of the EX era, deliberately exaggerating angles and color to make them pop.

A character and graphic designer for game studios in the 1990s, he was art director on the PlayStation title Zero Divide and later contributed art to Culdcept Saga, Shin Megami Tensei, and Kamen Rider card games.
Their most valuable card is Pikachu Star (#104/110, Holon Phantoms), estimated at $2,800–$3,600. Cards are ordered by estimated market value.
