8-4, Ltd. (Japanese: 有限会社ハチノヨン Yūgen Gaisha Hachi no Yon) is an independent video game translation and localization corporation, founded in October 2005 and based in Tokyo, Japan. 8-4 was initially founded by former Electronic Gaming Monthly editor John Ricciardi, the name being derived from the final level of Super Mario Bros. The company is largely contracted by other developers, including Nintendo, for translating games into other languages (mostly for role-playing games, as they are typically too large for an in-house translation team).

8-4 is generally involved starting midway into development, and frequently suggests changes to the developers to make the game more accessible. Richard Honeywood, the founder of Square's localization department, is said to be a chief influence for their translation style, in that they try to convey the same experience as the original rather than simply translating text.
