'''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. | |||
Sora Ltd.'s first game was ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. However, most of the development was handled by [[Game Arts]] and [[Monolith Soft]]. | |||
