In the TCG
Kouichi Ooyama has illustrated various things for the Trading Card Game, such as the insert included with the Japanese 's Pikachu. He illustrated the Ooyama's Pikachu card, being credited as "Ooyama." It features a drawing of Ooyama where the Pokédex entry usually is. He was credited as "Dr. Ooyama" for the illustration of the well-known "bilingual" Exeggutor card, which had its text printed in both English and Japanese. Like Ooyama's Pikachu, it features a drawing of the illustrator in place of the Pokédex entry, who is in this case "Dr. Ooyama." For the complete list of cards that he illustrated, go here.
