Nintendo EPD Production Group No. 5 is a video game developer under the Nintendo Entertainment Planning and Development structure that is owned by Nintendo. It was previously one of the groups under the Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development structure. Under EAD, Katsuya Eguchi was the head of this group and the others. Their projects include almost every Wii series video game for the Wii and all entries into the Animal Crossing series. The first title they've worked on was Animal Crossing for the GameCube. Eventually, Hisashi Nogami would take over Eguchi as group manager after he was promoted to deputy general manager of EAD Kyoto in 2013.
With the EPD transition, some of the employees were absorbed into EPD4. By 2019, Aya Kyogoku took over as group manager after Nogami was promoted to deputy general manager of EPD.
