'''Mana Ibe''' (Japanese: '''井部真那''') is a graphic designer who has worked for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] and video game series.

Ibe's first known involvement with the Pokémon franchise was in the [[staff of Pokémon Platinum]] under "Special thanks", although it is currently unknown exactly what role she played in the development of that game. She later illustrated a card in the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion: {{TCG ID|Arceus|Manectric|22}}. In the [[staff of Pokémon Black and White]], she is listed under "Pokémon designer". This is a résumé shared by [[Keiko Moritsugu]] and [[Reiko Tanoue]], who both illustrated a single card from the Arceus expansion and are listed under the same roles in both sets of credits. Lately, Ibe appears to have acquired a large role within Game Freak; she has spoken with the media about {{game|Black and White|s}} on multiple occasions.

In [http://www.gametrailers.com/video/overview-interview-pokemon-black/710753 a 2011 interview with GameTrailers], she revealed that her favorite Pokémon is {{p|Herdier}}. In [http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-02-22-the-brains-behind-pokemon-black-and-white-interview?page=2 another interview], it was revealed that she designed {{p|Victini}}.
