Smilebit.svg

Smilebit was a research and development division within Sega. After a company shakeup in 1998, Smilebit emerged as a replacement for Sega AM6, and operated until 2004 when it became known as Sega's Sports Design R&D Department. Both Sega AM6 and Smilebit had built up a reputation for producing Sega's line of sports titles, and are now the only team at Sega catering for this genre.

Smilebit's creation brought together specialist teams within Sega AM6 such as Team Aquila (Victory Goal) and Team Andromeda (Panzer Dragoon), though several of these members moved over to United Game Artists. It was headed by Shun Arai until 2004 and is now run by Takayuki Kawagoe.

Before specialising solely in sports games Smilebit were responsible for cult classics such as Jet Set Radio and The Typing of the Dead.
