What were Tomokazu Komiya's first English Pokémon cards?

This working English checklist begins with Smeargle 32 and Machamp 43 from the 1999 Wizards Black Star Promos. Bulbapedia describes Neo Genesis as Komiya's first English expansion appearance, so collector databases may describe the starting point differently.

What makes Tomokazu Komiya Pokémon card artwork recognizable?

Komiya is known for exaggerated proportions, unusual color choices, expressive linework, and backgrounds that can shift from playful to strange or atmospheric.

Do reverse holos and special printings count separately on this checklist?

No. This first English checklist uses one row per unique English card. Alternate finishes, stamped copies, promotional printings, and other variants are not duplicated as separate checklist rows.

Does this checklist include Japanese cards or Pokémon TCG Pocket?

No. This collector guide and downloadable checklist focus on physical English Pokémon TCG cards only.

Wonderfully unconventional

Why Tomokazu Komiya cards feel unlike anything else in the binder

Komiya’s Pokémon artwork often bends proportion, perspective, color, and texture. A card can feel funny, dreamlike, chaotic, slightly eerie, or unexpectedly tender—and the next card may look completely different. That range is a big part of what makes an illustrator-focused Komiya collection so satisfying.

Expressive on purpose

Exaggerated faces, stretched proportions, loose linework, and unusual color relationships give many of his Pokémon an instantly recognizable personality.

Decades to explore

This working English checklist spans 253 unique cards across 95 sets from 1999 through 2026, giving collectors a path through nearly every major era of the TCG.

Never visually repetitive

Even when the checklist gets large, the artwork keeps changing—one reason Komiya works especially well as a dedicated illustrator collection.

Three English examples from very different eras

Choose your collection

There is more than one good way to collect Tomokazu Komiya

Pick a finish line that feels fun now. You can always make the collection deeper later.

1Favorite artwork

Collect the strange, funny, colorful, or atmospheric Komiya cards you love most.

2One of each English card

Use AJT’s 253-card checklist to track each unique English card once.

3Variant master collection

Go deeper by adding reverse holos, stamped cards, alternate finishes, deck printings, and promotional versions.

Identify each card

Confirm the credit reads “Illus. Tomokazu Komiya.”
Match the English set and collector number—not the Pokémon name alone.
If you collect variants, record the finish or promotional origin separately.

Keep the catalogs separate

English, Japanese, other-language, and Pokémon TCG Pocket releases are not one-to-one. This guide deliberately focuses on physical English TCG cards so the checklist stays clear.

Collector questions

The details that shape a Tomokazu Komiya collection

Public catalogs do not always count the same things, so defining your collection goal matters.

How many Tomokazu Komiya Pokémon cards are there in English?

AJT’s working checklist follows Ninth Pocket’s complete-set method: 253 unique English cards across 95 sets from 1999 through 2026. Other databases may show different totals because their counting rules differ.

What were Komiya’s first English cards?

This checklist begins with Smeargle #32 and Machamp #43 from the 1999 Wizards Black Star Promos. Bulbapedia describes Neo Genesis as his first English expansion appearance, which is why you may see different “first card” answers.

What makes his artwork recognizable?

Exaggerated proportions, unusual palettes, loose or energetic mark-making, and unconventional backgrounds appear again and again—but he varies the approach enough that his cards rarely feel formulaic.

Do reverse holos and special printings count separately?

Not on this first English checklist. Each unique English card appears once. A deeper master collection can track reverse holos, stamps, league copies, promotional printings, and other recognized variants separately.

Does this include Japanese cards or Pokémon TCG Pocket?

No. This page and downloadable checklist are intentionally English-only and focus on physical Pokémon TCG cards.
