Moritsugu'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|Heatran|3}}. In the [[staff of Pokémon Black and White]], she is listed under "Pokémon Character Designer". This is a résumé shared by [[Reiko Tanoue]] and [[Mana Ibe]], who both illustrated a single card from the Arceus expansion and are listed under the same roles in both sets of credits.
