 '''Sora Ltd.''' ({{ja|有限会社ソラ|Yūgen Kaisha Sora}}, ''Sora Company Limited'') is a Japanese video game developer founded by former [[HAL Laboratory]] employee [[Masahiro Sakurai]]. It was formed in the years following Sakurai's resignation from his position at HAL Laboratory. Although it is considered a video game developer, it is merely used by Sakurai to conduct business with other companies, and therefore outsources development on its games to other developers.<ref>[https://youtu.be/_Sp5o1JJdDk?t=10 Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – Mr. Sakurai Presents "Steve & Alex"]</ref> Its only employees are Sakurai and his wife, Michiko.
-Sora Ltd.'s first game was ''{{s|wikipedia|Meteos}}'', a puzzle game for the Nintendo DS that Sakurai directed while ''{{s|wikipedia|Q Entertainment}}'' was the primary developer. Their next game was ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Like ''Meteos'', Sakurai directed the project, but most of the development was handled by [[Game Arts]] and [[Monolith Soft]].

 For a while, Sakurai ran Project Sora, a joint venture between Sora Ltd. and [[Nintendo]], which was started in January 2009. An important distinction between Sora Ltd. and Project Sora is that the former is not officially affiliated with Nintendo; Project Sora allowed Sakurai to use Nintendo's resources for game development. It only developed ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'' for the Nintendo 3DS before officially closing on June 30, 2012.<ref>[https://nintendoeverything.com/sakurais-project-sora-studio-to-be-dissolved/ Sakurai’s Project Sora studio has been dissolved - Nintendo Everything]</ref>
