About Shinya Mizuno
Shinya Mizuno is a Japanese illustrator and toy designer, born in 1981, known outside the Pokemon Trading Card Game for colorful, blocky mecha and industrial designs influenced by SD Gundam. His first Pokemon card was Cufant in the Shrouded Fable expansion, and he later painted the steel-heavy Archaludon ex for Surging Sparks. His work spans the anime, advertising, and toy industries, and in 2021 he published a hardcover art collection titled Perspectives of Shinya Mizuno (ミズノシンヤの視点) through Hera Publishing.
