SAN FRANCISCO — Masayoshi Son, the Japanese technology billionaire, has never been known to think small. That includes leading enormous investments in fledgling software companies.

Mr. Son’s company, SoftBank, said on Thursday that it was leading a $502 million investment in Improbable, a British start-up focused on creating expansive virtual worlds.

The investment, which will be for a minority stake, will value Improbable, which is five years old and has offices in London and San Francisco, at more than $1 billion.
