Every card credited to MAHOU
Every printing we can attribute to this artist, shown card by card: English first, then the Japanese printings that never had an English release, then the sets that only ever ran in Japan. Each printing is listed under its own language rather than merged, because a Japanese original and its English release are different cards to a collector. Cards whose official image is not in the open card databases are still listed, and say so.

Their Simplified Chinese cards
The Simplified Chinese print run — the cards we actually price and sell. Simplified Chinese cards have only been issued since 28 October 2022, so however long the career, it shows up here as the late Chinese slice of it.

Style and technique
Staying on the set lists from the HeartGold & SoulSilver era through to miscellaneous sets — 8 eras — is a career fact rather than a stylistic one, and we have not been able to source a description of the drawing itself.
