The Walt Disney Company, or just Disney, is an American multinational entertainment and media conglomerate headquartered at the Walt Disney Studios complex in Burbank, California. Mickey Mouse is the company's official mascot.

Disney was originally founded on October 16, 1923, by brothers Walt and Roy O. Disney as the "Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio"; it also operated under the names "The Walt Disney Studio" and "Walt Disney Productions" before officially changing its name to The Walt Disney Company in 1986. The company established itself as a leader in the American animation industry before diversifying into live-action film production, television, and theme parks.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Sora, the protagonist of the Kingdom Hearts franchise, developed by Square Enix as a joint collaboration between them and Disney, was confirmed on October 5, 2021 to be the sixth and final fighter in the Fighter's Pass, Volume 2, and the final Super Smash Bros. Ultimate fighter in general. Despite Disney not developing or publishing the Kingdom Hearts games, they are the sole owner of the brand and all original assets and the company credited with Sora's inclusion.
