Key is a Japanese visual novel studio which formed on July 21, 1998 as a brand under the publisher Visual Art's and is located in Kita, Osaka, Japan.

Both Kanon and Air were originally produced as adult games, but Key broke this trend with their third title Clannad which was released in April 2004 for all-ages. Key released their eighth and latest game Kud Wafter in June 2010, and has worked in the past with Interchannel and Prototype for the consumer port releas
