Discover Asako Ito’s soft, handcrafted Pokémon scenes, learn what makes her cards collectible, and use AJT Collective’s free tools to track your collection.
Ito crochets small amigurumi Pokémon, builds miniature environments with materials such as felt, and photographs the finished scenes. The softness, visible fibers, and tiny handcrafted details give her cards a warmth unlike almost anything else in the Pokémon TCG.
Handmade personality
Yarn texture, expressive poses, and carefully built scenery make each Pokémon feel like a tiny character rather than a flat illustration.
A focused collection
Her English TCG work begins with Poliwag from Sun & Moon in 2017, making the core card list approachable for newer collectors.
More depth than it first appears
Collectors can begin with one of each card, then add reverse holos, Japanese counterparts, mirror finishes, stamps, deck cards, and promotional printings.

Start with the artwork—or build a full master collection
Choose a rule that matches what you enjoy. English and Japanese catalogs are not one-to-one, so a broader collection should track each physical release on its own terms.
1Favorite artwork
Collect the Pokémon, colors, scenes, or handcrafted details you love most.
2One of each English card
Use the clean website list to track each documented English card once.
3English + Japanese master
Use the downloadable checklist to track language-specific releases, recognized finishes, stamps, deck cards, and promos separately.
Identify each card
Confirm the credit reads “Illus. Asako Ito.”
Match the set and collector number—not the Pokémon name alone.
Check the language, finish, stamp, or release source when variants matter to your goal.
Keep the catalogs honest
An English card does not always have a direct Japanese equivalent, and Japanese-only printings should not be forced into an English match. That is why the master checklist gives physical releases separate tracking boxes.
Collector questions
The details that shape an Asako Ito collection
These answers explain the artwork, differing card totals, and what belongs in a master collection.
How many Asako Ito Pokémon cards are there?
There is no single universal total because catalogs may count unique card IDs, physical printings, finishes, languages, promotional cards, and Pokémon TCG Pocket differently. The website table presents a clean English card list, while the downloadable master checklist tracks English and Japanese physical releases in greater detail.
What was Asako Ito’s first Pokémon card?
Poliwag from the Sun & Moon expansion introduced her crochet artwork to the English Pokémon TCG in 2017.
Are Asako Ito’s Pokémon knitted or crocheted?
Her Pokémon figures are generally described as crocheted amigurumi. Finished scenes can also incorporate felt and other handcrafted materials.
Do reverse holos, stamped cards, and reprints count separately?
That depends on your collecting goal. A one-of-each-card collection can treat the same card ID as one entry, while a master collection tracks recognized finishes, stamped cards, deck printings, promotional printings, and language-specific releases separately.
Does this guide include Pokémon TCG Pocket?
No. The downloadable checklist focuses on physical English and Japanese cards. Pokémon TCG Pocket uses a separate digital release system and should be tracked separately.

How to read the table: Each row represents a separate documented English printing or finish. Normal, reverse holo, special-art, and stamped versions therefore appear independently. The downloadable master checklist adds Japanese physical releases and mirror finishes. Pokémon TCG Pocket is not included.
