User:Sjones23/List of Sakura Wars titles

This is a list of media relating to the Sakura Wars (サクラ大戦) video game series. Sakura Wars is a series of dramatic adventure video games developed and published by Sega and distributed by Red Entertainment (formerly Red Company). The first installment of the series, classified as dramatic adventure, premiered in Japan in 1996 and Sakura Wars games have later been on nearly every modern video game console, including the Sega Saturn, the Sega Dreamcast, the Sega Titan, the Nintendo Game Boy Color, the Sony PlayStation Portable, Microsoft Windows and the Sony PlayStation 2, as well as games on mobile phones. A future installment has been announced to appear on the Nintendo DS game system.

It is Red Entertainment and Sega's successful franchise. As of July 2005, five games have been released as part of the main (numbered) series, as well as many other spin-offs and related titles. Sakura Wars has also spawned several anime series, a movie, manga and novels, as well as live-action musicals.

Live Performances
From 1997 onwards, the voice actors of the series performed onstage and in-character as their Sakura Wars counterparts in a series of live-action musical stage shows. By 2001 to 2006, the Teikoku Kagekidan (Imperial Assault Force) performed two major musicals in a year: a New Year's Show and a Summer Kayou Show, in addition to multitudes of other smaller shows where one or more characters make appearances. Some of the stage performances could be seen in the series' other forms of media.

In August of 2006, the Teikoku Kagekidan held their final summer show. Although the live-action shows still continue as of May 2007, they are no longer focused entirely on the Teikoku Kagekidan.
