{{Nihongo foot|Brownies Inc.|株式会社ブラウニーズ|Kabushiki gaisha Buraunīzu|lead=yes|group=lower-alpha}} is a Japanese video game developer based in Tokyo. It was founded in 2012 by Shinichi Kameoka, who is best known for his work on the Mana series. He founded the company after leaving his previous studio, Brownie Brown, which had been restructured to become a development support studio for Nintendo and became 1-Up Studio the same day. Kameoka cited more freedom to create original works as his reason for starting Brownies.{{cite web |url=https://www.player2.net.au/2022/02/interview-shinichi-kameoka-mana-franchise-egglia-rebirth/ |title=Interview: Shinichi Kameoka (Mana Franchise, Egglia: Rebirth) |work=Player2 |last=James |first=Paul |date=February 10, 2022 |accessdate=January 13, 2024}} Kouji Tsuda, a co-founder and former artist at Brownie Brown, also joined the new company.{{cite web |url=https://games.app-liv.jp/archives/245713 |title=『エグリア』の美麗なビジュアルに注目！ 亀岡氏×津田氏に突撃インタビュー |work=Appliv Games |date=April 7, 2017 |accessdate=January 13, 2024}}
