Who was the art director of Pokémon Pokopia?

Marina Ayano was the art director of Pokémon Pokopia.

Ayano served as the game’s art director from Koei Tecmo. Her role was distinct from the game’s production and direction credits: Kanako Murata was the producer, while Takuto Edagawa of Omega Force served as chief director.

Pokopia’s visual identity supports its gentle construction-focused premise. The game presents a damaged landscape that gradually becomes more welcoming as players restore habitats, add structures, and bring Pokémon back into the world. That visual progression is closely tied to the game’s emotional appeal.

Credit lists can be confusing because several senior developers were involved across Game Freak and Koei Tecmo. Marina Ayano should not be confused with Murata, who produced the game, or Edagawa, who held a chief-director role. The specific answer to the art-director question is Ayano.
