Hidenori Kusaka
The manga series "Pokemon Adventures" by Hidenori Kusaka gained popularity in English-speaking countries such as America soon after its release. Unlike other Pokémon comics, it has undergone minimal changes to its artwork for Western audiences. Today, the series is widely recognized and translated into multiple languages worldwide. In 2000, Mato, the original illustrator of "Pokemon Adventures," was diagnosed with a disease that weakened her hand, making it impossible for her to continue drawing for the manga. This posed a threat to the continuation of the series, but Kusaka found a replacement in Satoshi Yamamoto, who agreed to take on the role as illustrator for future volumes. Recently, Kusaka served as an advisor for Miho Asada's new manga "Phantom Thief Pokémon 7," where he came up with the names for both the manga and its main character, Hiori.
