minori (みのり?) is a Japanese visual novel company which created the games BITTERSWEET FOOLS, Wind -a breath of heart-, Haru no Ashioto and ANGEL TYPE.
They are currently working on the game ef - a fairy tale of the two. (the period is a part of the title).
Their most successful game is Wind, which has had a comic, TV animation series, and OVA based on it, and has been ported to the PlayStation 2 and Dreamcast.
Their name is said to be derived from their own catch phrase, "We always keep minority spirit" (pronunciation is different, though).
Quite a few of their games' opening movies are animated by Shinkai Makoto.
