Mizue’s Pokemon TCG credit goes back to Call of Legends in 2011, and the name is still showing up on current Scarlet & Violet-era prints — Serebii’s Cardex carries the credit forward into the Delta Reign and 30th Celebration period, the most recent era reflected in that entry. That’s fifteen years of catalog on the record, spanning multiple TCG generations.
Serebii’s Cardex tallies 187 cards under Mizue’s credit, counting reprints, and Limitless TCG’s Japanese-language artist search independently returns 217 hits under the same name. This guide walks through what’s actually documented about that run — the 2011 origin point, the current sets, and the rarity range in between — using only what Limitless and Serebii show on the record. We ship Japanese sealed product out of Tokyo every week, so where a card’s set is available to us as sealed booster boxes, we’ve linked it below.
No verifiable biographical details are publicly documented for Mizue beyond this TCG credit history, so this guide covers documented card and career work only — no invented backstory, no assumed pronouns.
Mizue has been credited on Japanese Pokemon TCG prints since Call of Legends (2011) — 187 cards per Serebii’s Cardex (counting reprints), with 217 separate hits on Limitless TCG’s Japanese-language artist search. The most recent confirmed print in this guide is Musharna AR (SV11B 122/086) from Black Bolt, released 2025-06-06. We don’t carry single Mizue-credited cards in stock, but the sealed Black Bolt Booster Box is currently listed at ¥24,128〜, and singles requests run through Ordine rapido.
Card and set details below are drawn from Limitless TCG’s individual card pages and Serebii’s artist Cardex, cited throughout. Sealed booster box prices reflect our own catalog as of August 2026, converted at ¥163/USD.
Who Is Mizue?
Mizue is a credited illustrator for the Pokemon Trading Card Game, per Serebii’s Cardex, with a documented run that begins with Call of Legends in 2011 and continues into current Scarlet & Violet-era sets. Limitless TCG’s artist search independently returns 217 hits under the “Mizue” credit on Japanese-language cards, and Serebii’s own tally — which counts reprints across a card’s full print history — puts the number at 187.
Those two figures measure overlapping but not identical things: Serebii’s 187 counts every printing a given illustration has appeared in, including reprints, while Limitless’s 217 reflects distinct Japanese-language card pages returned by an artist-name search. They describe the same body of work from two different angles rather than two different totals to be added together.
No publicly documented biographical information exists for Mizue beyond this credit history — no verifiable birth year, studio affiliation, or outside commission work turned up in either source. This guide sticks to what’s on the record: the cards themselves, and where they sit in the TCG’s print history.
That’s a deliberately narrower approach than some illustrator profiles can take. Where a source documents a birth year, a bibliography, or an outside art-world collaboration, that belongs in the record. Where it doesn’t, the honest version of the profile is the card catalog on its own — which, at 187 credited prints across fifteen years, is substantial enough to stand alone.
For readers comparing artists across our illustrator series, Mizue’s catalog sits alongside Kagemaru Himeno and Atsuko Nishida — both with dedicated guides covering their own most notable printings.
A Catalog That Starts With Call of Legends (2011)
Serebii’s Cardex lists Mizue’s earliest credited appearance in Call of Legends, the English-language set released in 2011 that featured Snubbull and Granbull among its early illustrated prints. From there, Serebii’s own record carries the credit forward continuously into the Delta Reign and 30th Celebration period, which is the most recent set era reflected in that same Cardex entry.
Serebii’s Cardex is the source for both the 2011 debut and the 2026 present-day range — a single continuous entry rather than two separate claims. Limitless TCG’s independent 217-hit artist search on Japanese-language cards corroborates that Mizue’s credit is active and substantial, without itself dating the earliest appearance.
Neither Serebii nor Limitless names every individual card from the 2011-era Call of Legends period beyond the set-level statement above, so this guide doesn’t attempt to list specific 2011 card numbers — the point that matters for collectors is the length of the run itself, not any single card from it.
What a 2011-to-current credit does tell you, in practical terms, is that Mizue’s work isn’t tied to one specific card generation or set family. A collector who only knows the Black Bolt-era prints below and one who only knows the original Call of Legends printing would both be looking at the same illustrator credit, fifteen years apart. That continuity is worth stating plainly rather than assuming, especially given how many Japanese TCG artist credits are tied to a single generation.
The Modern Catalog: Black Bolt and Beyond
Limitless TCG’s Japanese-language database confirms Mizue’s credit on a run of current-era prints, each verified on its own individual card page rather than a substring match on the artist search results.
The Musharna AR from Black Bolt (SV11B 122/086, released 2025-06-06) is the most recent confirmed print in this catalog and anchors the current-era end of Mizue’s run. For the set that produced it, our Black Bolt set guide covers the rest of the lineup.
The Radiant Charjabug from VSTAR Universe (S12a 39/172, released 2022-12-02) carries the かがやく — Radiant Rare — treatment, a rarity tier the Japanese TCG used for its かがやく (Radiant) Pokemon prints. Readers tracking that specific rarity tier across multiple artists and sets can see our Radiant Pokemon cards guide.
Maushold (SV2D #81, Clay Burst, released 2023-04-14) is an AR print whose printed total we haven’t confirmed on a primary source, so this guide references it by card number only rather than a full “/total” figure. Cleffa (SV4a 255/190, Shiny Treasure ex, 2023-12-01) is a Shiny Rare print — the color-swapped treatment the Japanese TCG uses across multiple sets, confirmed on its own Limitless page.
| Carta | Set (JP code) | Number | Rarity | Year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Musharna | Black Bolt (SV11B) | 122/086 | AR | 2025 |
| Radiant Charjabug | VSTAR Universe (S12a) | 39/172 | Radiant Rare | 2022 |
| Maushold | Clay Burst (SV2D) | #81 | AR | 2023 |
| Cleffa | Shiny Treasure ex (SV4a) | 255/190 | Shiny Rare | 2023 |
| Whimsicott | Terastal Festival ex (SV8a) | 5/187 | — | 2024 |
| Wyrdeer | Battle Region (S9a) | #36 | R | 2022 |
If you’re following the current Scarlet & Violet-era side of this catalog specifically, our Clay Burst set guide and Shiny Treasure ex set guide cover the sets that produced the Maushold and Cleffa prints above.
From Radiant Rare to AR: The Rarity Range in Mizue’s Catalog
Whimsicott (SV8a 5/187, Terastal Festival ex, released 2024-12-06) carries no printed rarity code on its Limitless page — it sits in the high-class pack’s standard slot rather than a named rarity tier. For the set it comes from, our Terastal Festival ex set guide covers the rest of the pull lineup. Wyrdeer (S9a #36, Battle Region, released 2022-02-25) is a plain R print whose printed total we haven’t confirmed on a primary source, so it’s referenced here by card number only.
Reading the six confirmed cards together, Mizue’s documented catalog spans from a plain R print through Radiant Rare, Shiny Rare, and AR treatments — not concentrated in any single rarity tier. That spread is worth flagging for a specific reason: an illustrator credit on its own doesn’t predict rarity tier. The 2022 Battle Region R and the 2025 Black Bolt AR sit three years and two rarity tiers apart under the same name. If you’re building a collection around a specific illustrator rather than a specific set, the card number and set code on the physical card are still what determine which print — and which price range — you’re actually looking at.
Sourcing Mizue-Credited Cards Through Sealed Product
We checked Mizue’s Japanese-language card credits against our current catalog directly, and the result is a sourcing case rather than a stock case: we don’t hold graded or raw Mizue-credited singles in inventory as of this guide. What we do carry is sealed booster boxes for the sets that produced the cards above, which is the most direct route to opening one yourself.
For the other sets in this guide, sealed boxes are listed here:
- VSTAR Universe Booster Box — currently listed at ¥33,280 (Radiant Charjabug)
- Clay Burst Booster Box — currently listed at ¥10,400〜 (Maushold)
- Shiny Treasure ex Booster Box — currently listed at ¥17,680〜 (Cleffa)
- Terastal Festival ex Booster Box — currently listed at ¥19,760〜 (Whimsicott)
- Battle Region Booster Box — currently listed at ¥12,915 (Wyrdeer)
If a specific Mizue-credited card from the table above is what brought you here rather than a full sealed box, the Quick Order page is the fastest way to flag a singles request. For a broader look at how graded versus raw copies compare once a specific card does turn up, our PSA 10 vs raw Japanese Pokemon cards guide walks through that decision.
