ABOUT
Yukiko Baba has one of the longest runs of anyone in the game. Her first cards, Weepinbell and Tauros, appeared in the Japanese Expansion Sheet Series 3 in the late 1990s; English players met her work on Kakuna in Neo Discovery. She was still illustrating cards in 2024 — a span of more than twenty-five years.
She also illustrated Bulbasaur's Trouble, the third book in the Pokémon Tales series.
No personal biographical details have been published.
