Dokapon is a role-playing video game franchise created by Asmik Ace Entertainment and currently developed by Sting Entertainment. The Dokapon franchise is primarily composed of games with role-playing video game and board game elements.

Although debuting in 1993, the series was only released outside Japan for the first time in 2001 with the game Dokapon: Monster Hunter. The rights to the series later lapsed to Sting Entertainment, who developed Dokapon Kingdom for the PlayStation 2. It was also released on Wii, which received a nomination by IGN for Best Wii RPG of 2008. Since its debut in 1993, the series has sold more than one million copies.

After 9 years of dormancy, Sting Entertainment revived the series with a collaboration with Aquaplus’ visual novel Utawarerumono, Dokapon Up! Mugen no Roulette; it was released for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in Japan in 2020.

A remake of Kingdom titled Dokapon Kingdom: Connect, was released on Nintendo Switch and Windows in 2023. It featured a new multiplayer mode and several new job classes.
