Welcome to Keisuke Iwahata's web site! Here you can explore paintings and characters created by Keisuke Iwahata, an illustrator born in Numazu City, Shizuoka, Japan.

Let me introduce an original character “Pocket Pokemaru” to you.

Pockemaru is a prince that comes from the Kingdom of Pockery.  Pockery is a coined word, which is a combination of pocket and fairy.
He has been training himself in the world of humans to be a great king in the future.

I like fantasies very much, which served as an inspiration for Pockemaru.
