* '''[[Masakazu Fukuda]]''' ('''福田正和''') is the sixth most active illustrator for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. He has illustrated {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Illus. by Masakazu Fukuda}} cards for the game.
===The TM Corner: TM34===
* Fukuda-san started illustrating cards during the EX Series of cards in 2003, which was the beginning of [[Generation III]].
* '''TM34''' is one the current 94 [[Technical Machine]]s in the main series Pokémon games. Like the other machines, it teaches a specific move to compatible Pokémon.
* He is a fan of mecha and admires the work of designer [[wp:Hajime Katoki|Hajime Katoki]].
* It is one of seven machines that has taught four different moves. It has taught {{m|Bide}} in Generation I, {{m|Swagger}} in Generation II, {{m|Shock Wave}} in Generations III and IV, and {{m|Sludge Wave}} in Generation V.
* Masakazu Fukuda is a keen biker, engages in wide-angle photography, and enjoys electronic music and music from the late 60's, particularly that of [[wp:James Brown|James Brown]].
* Three Gym Leaders give away this TM as a reward for beating them. [[Brock]] gives the player Bide in Generation I, [[Lt. Surge]] gives the player Shock Wave in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, while [[Wattson]] also gives the player Shock Wave in Generation III.  
* In addition to Pokémon, his credits include ''Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: NEO Card Game illustrations, Kamen Rider Battle: Ganbaride card illustrations, and FM Sound Maniacs (MelodyClip♪) CD cover design.
* In the main series games, Sludge Wave is the only move of this TM that is buy able. The player can purchase the move in the [[Battle Subway]] for 48 BP.
* He has provided illustrations for all the {{TCG|Pokémon ☆}} in the TCG (including Jolteon ☆, the Pokémon shown), which are perhaps his most prominent as he purposefully exaggerates the angles and colors used to make them stand out. He has also provided artwork for deck kits and special packs in Japan, as well as booster packs and theme decks for English and European releases.
* Of them all, Swagger is the only Status move to be TM34 while Bide is the only Physical move to be TM34.
