Thinking Rabbit Inc. (有限会社シンキングラビット) was a Takarazuka, Hyogo, Japan-based publisher and developer started by Sokoban creator Hiroyuki Imabayashi in 1982. In addition to the Sokoban puzzle games, the company is also remembered for its mystery adventure games, some of which featured the work of illustrator Akira Komeda.

Programmer Hiroto Nakamura started Giraffe Soft (有限会社ジラフソフト) in December 1990. [1] Other ex-staff would eventually make their way to Kan's, another company located in Takarazuka.

Falcon now owns (co-owns?) the Thinking Rabbit properties. [2]
