moving most of the stuff up from trivia to the introduction, to be honest I'd rather have a tournament summary section for majors since these events often are quite interesting

 '''Kagaribi 10''' was a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' [[List of national tournaments|supermajor]] tournament held in Tokyo, Japan, from May 6th-7th, 2023, as the last, and largest, of three ''Ultimate'' major/supermajor events of the [[wikipedia:Golden Week (Japan)|Golden Week]] (proceeding {{Trn|Maesuma TOP 12}} and {{Trn|DELTA 4}}). Mid-set coaching was allowed, with a limit of 30 seconds between games.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/L4st_v1/status/1654774540646461445|title=Cosmos's message}}</ref>
+The first day saw many upsets from top players, including {{Sm|Metara}} over {{Sm|Miya|p=Honshu}} (upset factor 12), {{Sm|TamaPDaifuku}} over {{Sm|Tea}} (upset factor 8), and {{Sm|Levi}} over {{Sm|MuteAce}} (upset factor 7). The former two ultimately made long Loser runs, with Miya defeating 9 players to place 7th - albeit his first time missing top 2 at a tournament since the [[Tournament:Kagaribi 9|the previous Kagaribi]] - and Tea defeating 6 players to place 17th. The second day also saw {{Sm|Yaura}} upsetting {{Sm|Sparg0}} (upset factor 8), however Sparg0 preceded to win 11 sets in a row to take the tournament, becoming the first North American to win a major Japanese ''Ultimate'' event while doing so at his first ever Japanese event. In addition, after being knocked into Losers by {{Sm|Taikei}}, {{Sm|Dabuz}} defeated 9 players to place 4th, his first top 8 at a major/supermajor since {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2022}}. Together, Sparg0 and Dabuz eliminated everyone in the top 8. On the other hand, this was the first Kagaribi that {{Sm|acola}} did not win, as he was double-eliminated by Sparg0 6-1 in Grand Finals, and notably resorted to secondaries for the last two games.

 ==Trivia==
-*This is {{Sm|Miya|p=Honshu}}'s first major tournament he was eliminated before Grand Finals since {{Trn|Kagaribi 9}}, after making Grand Finals for five majors in a row.
-*This is also the only Kagaribi event that {{Sm|acola}} attended but did not win.
-*{{Sm|Dabuz}} won 9 sets in a row in losers bracket after being upset in Round 2 pools by {{Sm|Taikei}}, including five Game 5 sets in a row. Notably, Top 8 had to wait for Dabuz to finish two of the Game 5 sets before it could start.
-*{{Sm|Sparg0}}'s 1st place finish marks the first time a player from North America has won a Japanese ''Ultimate'' supermajor (as well as major) tournament. Impressively, this was the first Japanese tournament he attended as well.
-**This win also came as a result of an 11-set winstreak in losers bracket, as Sparg0 had been upset in Round 2 of Top 192 by {{Sm|Yaura}}. Together with Dabuz, the entirety of Top 8 was eliminated from the tournament by both players alone.
-**The previous record for the highest placement of an international player at a Japanese ''Ultimate'' major was held by {{Sm|Riddles}}'s 2nd place at {{Trn|DELTA 4}}, which took place just two days before the tournament started.
 *This tournament marked {{Sm|Shogun}}'s final event as a competitor.
