{{Nihongo|'''Dimps Corporation'''|株式会社ディンプス|Kabushiki-gaisha Dinpusu}} is a Japanese [[video game]] developer based in [[Osaka]], Japan, with an additional office in [[Tokyo]]. It is best known for developing games in the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'', ''[[List of Dragon Ball video games|Dragon Ball]]'' and ''[[Street Fighter]]'' franchises. The company was founded on March 6, 2000 by several former [[SNK]]<ref>{{cite news |last1=Torres |first1=Oscar |title=SNK Retrospective: 'Their humble beginnings to Now' {{!}} Talon Marks |url=https://www.talonmarks.com/arts-entertainment/artsfeatures/2020/08/14/snk-retrospective-their-humble-beginnings-to-now/ |access-date=30 May 2022 |work=Talon Marks {{!}} Cerritos College • Norwalk, Calif. |date=14 August 2020}}</ref> and [[Capcom]] employees, including ''Street Fighter'', ''[[Fatal Fury]]'', ''[[Art of Fighting]]'' and ''[[The King of Fighters]]'' co-creator [[Takashi Nishiyama]] and Hiroshi Matsumoto.

==History==
In 2000, [[Takashi Nishiyama]] resigned from [[SNK]], and was soon approached with offers for employment by various [[Tokyo]]-based companies. At the same time, SNK's core development team members left the company, assuming Nishiyama had plans. Nishiyama decided to form a new company in [[Osaka]], named Sokiac, to avoid having to move his team members and their families. To better reflect its mission to create games for a variety of genres and platforms, the company later changed its name to Dimps, short for "'''Di'''gital '''M'''ulti-'''P'''latform'''s'''".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.1up.com/features/the-man-who-created-street-fighter?pager.offset=4 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160402113045/http://www.1up.com/features/the-man-who-created-street-fighter?pager.offset=4 |title=The Man Who Created ''Street Fighter'' |last=Leone |first=Matt |website=[[1Up Network|1Up.com]] |publisher=[[IGN Entertainment]] |date=December 14, 2011 |archive-date=April 2, 2016 |access-date=February 27, 2023 |url-status=dead}}</ref> The company was supported by capital from [[Sammy Corporation|Sammy]], [[Bandai]], [[Sony Computer Entertainment]], and [[Sega]].<ref name=GBASonicDimps>{{cite web |url=http://pocket.ign.com/articles/093/093601p1.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020602000331/http://pocket.ign.com/articles/093/093601p1.html |title=Game Boy: GBA ''Sonic'' Developed by Dimps |last=Harris |first=Craig |website=[[IGN]] |date=April 18, 2001 |archive-date=June 2, 2002 |access-date=February 27, 2023 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
