Numerous artists have made significant contributions to individual games in the {{FES}} by providing illustrations of its characters, settings and scenarios. These artists, and the games in which each is credited, are summarized here. | |||

'''Katsuyoshi Koya''' (Japanese: {{hover|小屋勝義|Koya katsuyoshi}} ''Koya Katsuyoshi'') provided the vast majority of the card illustrations for the {{TCG}}, with their work covering the entire casts of {{FE3}}, {{title|Genealogy of the Holy War}} and {{title|Thracia 776}}, and is also credited as a graphic designer for ''Mystery'' and ''Genealogy''.

Although they were not responsible for the original character artwork used in the box art and manual of any of these games, their work has effectively replaced those for ''Mystery'' and ''Genealogy'' and is now the most widely used to represent characters from these two games, including being used in {{FE13}} 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|''Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War'' Exceed]] figurine series, and for the designs of the ''Mystery'' and ''Genealogy'' cast in {{TCGCipher}}. In 2008, they also contributed two "bonus artworks" of [[Lena]] and [[Barst]] for {{FE11}}. | ||
