Popis: We report on the first Belle search for a light CP-odd Higgs boson, $A^{0}$, that decays into low mass dark matter, $\chi$, in final states with a single photon and missing energy. We search for events produced via the dipion transition $\Upsilon(\textrm{2S})\rightarrow\Upsilon(\textrm{1S})\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$, followed by the on-shell process $\Upsilon(\textrm{1S})\rightarrow\gamma A^{0}$ with $A^{0} \rightarrow\chi\chi$, or by the off-shell process $\Upsilon(\textrm{1S})\rightarrow\gamma\chi\chi$. Utilizing a data sample of 157.3 $\times$ 10$^{6}$ $\Upsilon(\textrm{2S})$ decays, we find no evidence for a signal. We set limits on the branching fractions of such processes in the mass ranges $M_{A^{0}} <$ 8.97 $\textrm{GeV/}\textit{c}^{2}$ and $M_{\chi} <$ 4.44 $\textrm{GeV/}\textit{c}^{2}$. We then use the limits on the off-shell process to set competitive limits on WIMP-nucleon scattering in the WIMP mass range below 5 $\textrm{GeV/}\textit{c}^{2}$.
