Every card credited to HYOGONOSUKE
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.
- Sun & Moon Era 12 (2017–2019)
- Sword & Shield Era 40 (2019–2023)
- Scarlet & Violet Era 26 (2023–2025)
- Mega Evolution Era 10 (2025–2026)
