Here he is (if I recall correctly the original source of this image says something about Himeno naming the cat). If you check out the hat, the logo is from Lightwave 3d, which is presumably what he used to do the 3d modelling:

Damn that 1994 Triceratops takes me back! Thank you for sharing, the feels in this thread cannot be understated! RIP sempai and feels bad for 5ban but I wonder if they’re a team taking as much comission as they’re given oppertunity hence the quality over quantity?

Anywho, I remember always taking second glance to his works back then growing up and always admiring the neon lines being a suggestion for the movement and getting seriously upset when I water damaged it obviously on the art side.

So on discord, we put together something that is in retrospect, is probably obvious. The back of Pokemon cards was probably also the work of Kinebuchi, probably even using the same (or similar) model as the Jungle pokeball.

I want to believe.

I want to believe also that Kinebuchi was the sole creator for the most beautiful and profound card in the history of the franchise,

Ancient Mew.
