-'''kawayoo''' is an illustrator for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. He started illustrating cards from the {{TCG|Bonds to the End of Time}} expansion, and later illustrated all of the {{TCG|Pokémon C}} cards in the {{TCG|Garchomp vs Charizard SP Deck Kit}} and the {{TCG|Beat of the Frontier}} expansion, except for {{TCG ID|Garchomp Half Deck|Garchomp C LV.X|7}} and {{TCG ID|Beat of the Frontier|Rayquaza C LV.X|79}}. So far, he has illustrated {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Illus. by kawayoo}} cards for the trading card game, and is expected to do more.

+'''Kawaguchi Youhei''' (Japanese: '''川口洋平'''), born 1974, is a freelance digital illustrator, and has been providing artwork for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] since the {{TCG|Rising Rivals}} expansion. He is often credited by his nickname '''“kawayoo”''' (川洋) in his work.<br>
+Youhei's style is very distinctive, brought about from his creative approach and dedication to each one of his illustrations. He creates subjects from scratch by using a graphic tablet in image editing software and applying hundreds of strokes to define base shapes, outlines, backgrounds and final details. These result in often surreal, heavy, multi-layered images reminiscent of oil paintings. His images often focus on muscle tone, expression or contrast and have themes influenced by cyberpunk or anime. The Pokémon he has portrayed are often very detailed, vibrant and in dynamic positions, among which include the {{TCG|Pokémon C}} cards, which he provided all the artwork for (with the exception of {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X|LV.X}} variants). For a list of cards he has illustrated, go [[:Category:Illus. by kawayoo|here]].
