Kinoko Nasu (奈須 きのこ, Nasu Kinoko
?, born November 28, 1973) is a Japanese author, best known for writing the novel Kara no Kyoukai and visual novels Tsukihime and Fate/stay
night. Renowned for a unique style of storytelling and prose, Nasu is amongst the most
prominent visual novelists in Japan.
Biography
Together with high
school classmate and friend, Takeshi Takeuchi,
Nasu formed Type-Moon in
2000, originally as a dōjin group to create the visual novel
Tsukihime, which soon gained immense popularity, much of
which is attributed to Nasu's unique style of storytelling. A
sequel to Tsukihime, Kagetsu Tohya, was released in
August 2001.
Following the success of Tsukihime, Type-Moon became a
commercial organization. On 28 January 2004, Type-Moon released Fate/stay
night, written by Nasu; it too gained great success, becoming
one of the most popular visual novels on the day of its release. A
sequel to Fate/stay night, Fate/hollow ataraxia, was
released on October 28, 2005. Both of Nasu's visual novel works
(Tsukihime and Fate/stay night) have been adapted
to rather popular anime and manga series.

Miscellanea
- The name Type-Moon originates from one of Nasu's earliest
works, Angel Notes.
- Nasu means eggplant in Japanese and Kinoko means mushroom;
thus, he is depicted as a mushroom when he appears in-game.

Satsuki scenario, but finished it 'two years ago', and may be
dissatisfied with it.
