Solatorobo: Red the Hunter, originally released in Japan as Soratorobo -Sore Kara Kōda e-, is an action role-playing video game developed by CyberConnect2 and published by Namco Bandai Games for the Nintendo DS. Originally released in Japan in October 2010, an English version was released in Europe in July 2011 and Australia the following November, with a North American release in September by Xseed Games. It is the spiritual sequel to Tail Concerto, and, like its predecessor, features artwork and character designs by manga artist Nobuteru Yūki and music by Chikayo Fukuda. The game includes animated cutscenes produced by Madhouse, as well as vocal themes performed by Tomoyo Mitani.

Set in a steampunk fantasy world of floating sky islands populated by anthropomorphic dogs and cats, dubbed "Caninu" and "Felineko", respectively, the game focuses on a canine freelance adventurer named Red Savarin who pilots a flying mecha. On a seemingly ordinary task to fetch a stolen file, he encounters a mysterious young Felineko named Elh, and becomes involved in a series of events that reveal the hidden truth of the origin of his world and those who live in it.
