Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru (カエルの為に鐘は鳴る), officially translated as The Frog For Whom the Bell Tolls, is an action role-playing video game developed by Nintendo and Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy exclusively in Japan in 1992.
The title is a play on Ernest Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls, which is known in Japan as Ta ga Tame ni Kane wa Naru (誰がために鐘は鳴る). This is in turn an allusion to John Donne's famous Meditation XVII.
