Hidenori Kusaka is a Japanese screenwriter and manga writer. He is best known for writing Pokémon Adventures (Japanese: Poketto Monsutā Supesharu; lit. Pocket Monsters Special), a manga series based on the Pokémon media franchise. The series, commonly called Pokespe for short, has been illustrated by Mato for the first nine volumes, and then by Satoshi Yamamoto, who continues as the series' artist. Satoshi Tajiri, the creator of the Pokémon media franchise, once stated that Pokémon Adventures is closest to how he imagined the universe of Pokémon to be. As of May 2024, 63 volumes have been released, along with mini-volumes collecting arcs from "Black and White" onwards.
