In Japan, May 5th is Children’s Day, which both marks the end of Golden Week and celebrates kids’ youth and happiness. Who better to embrace that than the kid who’s been ten years old for 23 years?
今日は #こどもの日
子供も大人も
みんな無邪気になれる日ですね🎵こちらのイラストは#安田周平 さんに描いていただきました🌈#端午の節句#サトシ#ゴウ#ピカチュウ#ラビフット#リオル#アニポケ pic.twitter.com/x7tGapmflg

Artist for Pokémon Journeys: The Series, the latest chapter in the long-running Pokémon anime, Shuhei Yasuda shared the above piece of artwork. It features Ash and new friend Goh, along with Pikachu, Raboot, and Riolu flying the traditional carp windsock in the shape of a Magikarp. It’s a fitting way to embrace the day, even in the face of Journeys’ production halted in Japan.
You’ll be able to see Pokémon Journeys first on Netflix starting June 12th.
