Yusuke Ohmura

Yusuke Ohmura (Japanese: 大村祐介 Ōmura Yūsuke, born July 6, 1981) is an illustrator of the artwork for Pokémon games since Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. He has drawn several characters for the core series games starting with Pokémon Black and White, such as Gym Leaders and the Elite Four of Unova.

Ohmura created the designs for Piplup, Oshawott, and the version mascots of Pokémon X and Y, Xerneas and Yveltal. Initial design for the two Legendary Pokémon was started by Ken Sugimori, but after he encountered 'artist's block', he gave the work to Ohmura, who furthered the designs. Sugimori later returned to finish them.[1] In Pokémon Sun and Moon, he became the lead of Pokémon designer, switching his role with Sugimori.

In 2016, Ohmura left Game Freak and became a freelance illustrator.[2]

He is also an illustrator for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, starting with the Mysterious Treasures expansion. For a complete list of cards that Ohmura illustrated, go here.
