Every card credited to Toshinao Aoki
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.

Their career in the TCG
We can place 64 English printings across 32 sets, running 1999 to 2026. The first of them is Flying Pikachu in Wizards Black Star Promos (1999). The run covers the original block, the Neo era, the e-Card era, the ADV/EX era, the Platinum era, the XY era, the Sword & Shield era, the Scarlet & Violet era, the Mega Evolution block and promotional releases.
The heaviest single set is Neo Destiny with 6 cards, and the busiest year is 2023 (12); Output averages about 2.4 cards a year across that span; 27 further printings sit in the Japanese run without an English equivalent, which we list separately; 8 cards belong to sets that were never part of an English expansion at all — early Japanese sheets, half decks and promotions; 5 cards are credited for Pokémon TCG Pocket.

Staying on the set lists from the original block through to promotional releases — 10 eras — is a career fact rather than a stylistic one, and we have not been able to source a description of the drawing itself.
