Hidetsugu Yoshioka (吉岡英嗣 Yoshioka Hidetsugu) is a Japanese illustrator. Though he is best known in the West for illustrating the Japanese Generation 2 story pages and pack-in mini-comics, he has in fact had a much longer run with the Transformers brand, providing painted packaging artwork for characters on both sides of the globe since 1988 (the Pretender/Masterforce era) all the way up through the end of Generation 1 (Operation Combination). He also provided the artwork for the goofy Transformer PD Type comics.
He continues to provide box artwork and mini-comic artwork for Takara to this very day, most often using his Derek Yaniger-inspired style used during Generation 2, as seen on the M.C. Axis resin kits.
Notes
- Several of the Generation 2 instruction manual mini-comics mistakenly credit Yoshioka as "Hidetsugu Toshioka".
