PLANETA Igarashi is the Pokemon TCG credit used by Kazuya Igarashi, an illustrator associated with the Japanese design studio PLANETA. Bulbapedia notes that Igarashi has worked at PLANETA since 2011 and that his first credited Pokemon TCG card was the Full Art Ultra Necrozma-GX from Forbidden Light. The broader PLANETA profile describes the studio as a Japanese design and illustration company specializing in 3D computer generated imagery for games and graphical production, a useful context for understanding the clean digital finish of these cards.
PLANETA CG polish for modern Pokemon ex cards
In PKMN Collectors, PLANETA Igarashi is credited on a range of high-impact Pokemon, including Ultra Necrozma GX, Reshiram GX, Lugia GX, Dragonite GX, Persian GX, Whimsicott GX, Dedenne GX, Aerodactyl GX, Pincurchin V, Zarude V, Celebi V, Polteageist V, Hatterene V, Keldeo V, Koraidon ex, Blastoise ex, Lucario ex, Golem ex, Melmetal ex, Noivern ex, Kingdra ex, Slaking ex, Scovillain ex, Tapu Koko ex, Mimikyu ex, Serperior ex and Cynthia Garchomp ex. The Art of Pokemon also tracks his Japanese card list and related artwork.
For collectors, the appeal is tied to modern special-card language: strong rendered forms, dramatic lighting and Pokemon designed to feel premium at a glance. Igarashi cards often sit naturally in GX, V and ex-focused binders, especially for collectors who like CG polish and legendary or fully evolved Pokemon. Because the public biography is mostly studio-based, this profile keeps the focus on documented facts: Kazuya Igarashi at PLANETA, a Forbidden Light debut, and a large body of official TCG artwork under the PLANETA Igarashi credit.
