Satoshi Yamamoto
(山本サトシ, though the 山本智 spelling was used early in his career) is the artist for Let's Protect Nature! Pokémon Ranger and also the current artist for Pocket Monsters Special. He is from Kyoto.

His debut was 1993's The Warrior with the Face of a Devil (鬼 面戦士), which ran in Weekly Shounen Sunday. After that, he worked on a number of series for the magazine. The first work of his to be collected in graphic novel format was The Wind of Fight (風の伝承者) which was also published in Weekly Shounen Sunday. The series ran from 1998 until 2000. 

About a year after the end of The Wind of Fight, Satoshi Yamamoto took over the art for Pocket Monsters Special after Mato fell ill. His first contributions to the series began in the April 2001 issues of the Shougakukan Gakunen series of magazines. He has been doing the artwork for Pocket Monsters Special ever since.

Let's Protect Nature! Pokémon Ranger is the first series Mr. Yamamoto's worked on in his 27 year career to be done completely in full color.
