Hitoshi Ariga (Japanese: 有賀 ヒトシ Ariga Hitoshi; born August 23, 1972) is a professional artist who primarily illustrates manga and picture books, and has assumed the position of graphic designer for several Japanese titles in the game industry. He first began providing illustrations for the Pokémon Trading Card Game in 2011, though has been a fan of the franchise for many years. His main passion, however, lies with the franchise, known as Rockman in Japan, where he has illustrated numerous manga and artwork for affiliated products since the mid-90s. He likes to engage the community when he has the opportunity, appearing at exhibitions, and maintaining an online presence across several sites.
Ken Sugimori recognized Ariga's design work and invited him to work on .Pocket Monsters XY by HitoshiAriga on DeviantArt (posted on November 14, 2013) When designing and , Ariga considered that a sauropod would pair well with and , suggesting that the latter may have been considered first. Previous Pokémon such as , , and already existed with a similar body shape, so Ariga chose to base the new family off the Amargasaurus, with the large fins on its neck.https://web.archive.org/web/20230410130327/https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/458627994395762689 In creating the artwork for the villainous organization 3DS themes, Ariga pointed out the special attention given to how it looped seamlessly as the user navigated the 3DS menu.https://web.archive.org/web/20230410113110/https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1640157094321217536 In the same thread, he also revealed that there were plans to create a 3DS theme for Team Flare, but they fell through as a result of the series moving from the 3DS to the Switch.https://web.archive.org/web/20230410112857/https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1641046957325193217 Ariga's first spot as the lead character designer on the series was with Pokémon UNITE, though his affinity for paleontology led him to create a new design for for the real-life Pokémon Fossil Museum, where he was reached out to by the organizers of the museum themselves.
Although he began officially working on the series in 2011 with the , his Pokémon fan art on DeviantArt dates back to 2010.
