===Meet the cast and crew: Masakazu Fukuda===
===Happy Mother's Day!===
* '''[[Masakazu Fukuda]]''' ('''福田正和''') is the sixth most active illustrator for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. He has illustrated {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Illus. by Masakazu Fukuda}} cards for the game.
* The [[Player character|player's]] mom (Japanese: '''おかあさん''' ''mother'') is a character in every [[Version|main series]] [[Pokémon game]]. Although different each time, she will always be the one to see her child off on his or her journey with his or her [[starter Pokémon]].
* Fukuda-san started illustrating cards during the EX Series of cards in 2003, which was the beginning of [[Generation III]].
* In the games, when players speaks to their mother, she will heal their [[party]], as there is no [[Pokémon Center]] in the town; except in [[Johto]], in which [[Professor Elm]]'s lab has a healing machine and the player's mother will not heal the party. She also gives the player [[Running Shoes]] when he/she sets off on their journey.
* He is a fan of mecha and admires the work of designer [[wp:Hajime Katoki|Hajime Katoki]].
* In [[Generation II]] and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the mother would save the players money after he/she wins a battle and will often buy items that can be useful for the player. In [[Generation IV]], the mother, named [[Johanna]], will sometimes compete in [[Pokémon Super Contest|Super Contest]]s.
* Masakazu Fukuda is a keen biker, engages in wide-angle photography, and enjoys electronic music and music from the late 60's, particularly that of [[wp:James Brown|James Brown]].
* In the anime, each of the main characters which have a player character [[Cross-canon counterparts|counterpart]] have had their mother introduced except for {{jo|Jimmy}} and {{jo|Marina}}. Unlike the moms in the games, however, all of them lead a moderately more active lifestyle.
* In addition to Pokémon, his credits include ''Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: NEO Card Game illustrations, Kamen Rider Battle: Ganbaride card illustrations, and FM Sound Maniacs (MelodyClip♪) CD cover design.
* {{Ash}}'s mother, {{Delia}}, has been in the anime since the [[EP001|first episode]] and has always being on her son's side and having high hopes for him.
* He has provided illustrations for all the {{TCG|Pokémon ☆}} in the TCG (including Jolteon ☆, the Pokémon shown), which are perhaps his most prominent as he purposefully exaggerates the angles and colors used to make them stand out. He has also provided artwork for deck kits and special packs in Japan, as well as booster packs and theme decks for English and European releases.
* Mom has had one card in the [[Trading Card Game]] series. [[Mom's Kindness (Majestic Dawn 83)|Mom's Kindness]] is a {{TCG|supporter card}} from the {{TCG|Majestic Dawn}} expansion. It depicts [[Johanna]] the mother of {{ga|Dawn}} in the games and the anime and {{adv|Diamond}} from the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.
