tetsuya koizumi is the earlier Pokemon TCG credit used by the illustrator now known as Scav. Bulbapedia identifies Scav as born in Shiga, Japan in 1981 and formerly credited as tetsuya koizumi, with Tangrowth from Burning Shadows listed as the first card. The later credit change begins with the Full Art print of Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX from Brilliant Stars, which makes this profile especially useful for collectors trying to connect older and newer artist names.
From tetsuya koizumi to Scav in Pokemon TCG
Under the tetsuya koizumi credit, PKMN Collectors includes cards such as Tangrowth, Charmander, Squirtle, Growlithe, Scorbunny, Thwackey, Pignite, Marshtomp, Feebas, Sealeo, Drakloak, Eelektross, Tornadus V, Raichu and Alolan Raichu GX, Bisharp, Garbodor, Galarian Stunfisk, Octillery, Forretress and many more. The Art of Pokemon separates the tetsuya koizumi card list, while Bulbapedia also explains how Pokemon TCG Pocket handles reused art under the older name and original art under Scav.
For collectors, the main value is continuity. A binder that only searches one credit may miss part of the artist story, so linking tetsuya koizumi with Scav helps make the catalog easier to understand. The cards often cover everyday Pokemon, evolutions and clean action poses rather than relying on a single repeated subject. Because the credit history is well documented but public personal detail is still limited, this biography keeps the focus on verifiable milestones: the Burning Shadows debut, the later Scav credit, and a card list that bridges several modern TCG eras.
