Kyūshū

Kyūshū is a Smash region comprised of seven prefectures. These prefectures include Fukuoka, Kagoshima, Kumamoto, Miyazaki, Nagasaki, Ōita, and Saga. On an administrative level, this region would also include the Okinawa prefecture. However, due to the distance players infrequently play in Okinawa, as such, Okinawa is considered a separate Smash region. Kyushu is also the name of the main island which is the third largest in Japan.

The largest Smash tournaments tend to occur in Fukuoka. This prefecture hosts the long-running Shulla-bra series. Shulla-bra hosts Melee and Ultimate competitions. Outside of Fukuoka, Kagoshima and Kumamoto regularly hosts tournaments. The remaining prefectures tend to host tourneys more infrequently.
