===Work for the TCG===
Initially, Hoshiba's early TCG artwork was a collaboration between himself and [[CR CG gangs]]; Hoshiba likely providing the base model while CR CG Gangs added details, etc. His solo artwork primarily consists of 3D Pokémon models that appear to be based on those in Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness – titles that he worked on, though with various lighting, elemental or movement effects added to give the final image more presence. Perhaps more notable is that he provided the art for the new {{TCG ID|Worlds 2004|No. 2 Trainer|promo}} and {{TCG ID|Worlds 2004|No. 3 Trainer|promo}} TCG World Championship trophy cards, which take inspiration from the original Japanese tournament prizes. The illustration has remained in use for every Worlds incarnation since. For a list of all cards he has illustrated, go [[:Category:Illus. by K. Hoshiba|here]].
