Cooking Mama Limited (Japanese: クッキングママ リミテッド Kukkingumama Rimiteddo) is a Japanese developer of video games. Most of their games were unreleased outside Japan and received no particular critical or commercial attention - notable exceptions to this are Cooking Mama for the Nintendo DS and iPhone OS, and Cooking Mama: Cook Off for the Nintendo Wii of the Cooking Mama series.
Originally known as "Office Create" (Japanese: 株式会社オフィスクリエイト Kabushiki-Gaisha Ofisu Kurieito), the company changed their name to Cooking Mama Limited as a positive response to its unanticipated success in the series, which has sold over four million units worldwide as of May 2009.
