Throughout its history, numerous artists have made significant contributions to individual games in the Fire Emblem series by providing illustrations of its characters, settings and scenarios. These artists, and the games in which each is credited, are summarized here.
Katsuyoshi Koya
Katsuyoshi Koya (Japanese: 小屋勝義 Koya Katsuyoshi) provided the vast majority of the card illustrations for the Fire Emblem Trading Card Game, with their work covering the entire casts of Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem, Genealogy of the Holy War and Thracia 776, and is also credited as a graphic designer for Mystery and Genealogy. Although they were not the original designated character illustrator for any of these games, their work has effectively replaced the original artwork accompanying Mystery and Genealogy and is now the most widely used to represent characters from these two games, including being used in Fire Emblem Awakening for the bonus unit portraits for the cast of Genealogy. Their artwork was also used as the basis for the Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War Exceed figurine series and for the designs of the Mystery and Genealogy cast in Fire Emblem Cipher. In 2008, they also contributed two "bonus artworks" of Lena and Barst for Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon.

Her Treasure illustrations were reused for the first series of the Fire Emblem Trading Card Game, and she would continue to work with Shouzou Kaga after he left Intelligent Systems, serving as the illustrator for Tear Ring Saga and Berwick Saga.
