A manga career first
Ariga is primarily a manga and picture-book artist who has also done game design and character work. He came to the Pokémon TCG in 2011 on a referral from Ken Sugimori, bringing a distinctly illustrated, manga-influenced line to his cards.
A modern presence
His card work concentrates in recent sets, a contemporary illustrator whose comics background sets his cards apart from the game's CG and painterly styles.
Build a binder page
Ariga's manga linework gives a page real character — pair his cards for a lively, illustrated, comic-adjacent spread.
Collector tip
A modern credit concentrated in recent sets, so his cards are easy to find in current Sword & Shield and Scarlet & Violet products.
