Sokoban (倉庫番 Sōkoban?, warehouse keeper) was developed by Hiroyuki Imabayashi and released in 1982.

This guide reflects the commercial versions of the game whose title is Sokoban. However, not every version of the game published under this title is identical, as Sokoban as been released in several iterations since it was initially published in 1982.

In 1985, Sega published their own conversion of the original game for the Sega SG-1000. In 1989, Pony Canyon released an updated version for the Game Boy which was partially based on Thinking Rabbit's Sokoban Perfect. It was released in the United States as Boxxle. In 1990, Riverhill Soft developed an updated conversion for the Sega Game Gear for Japan only.
