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 28 October 2005. Both of Nasu's visual novel works (Tsukihime and Fate/stay night) have been adapted to rather popular manga and anime series.
Among Kinoko Nasu's earlier works are the novels Kara no Kyoukai, originally released in 1998 and re-printed in 2004, Angel Notes, Mahoutsukai no Yoru and Koori no Hana.
