Editing Hokuriku

'''Hokuriku''' is a ''Smash'' region comprised of four prefectures. These prefectures include Ishikawa, Fukui, Niigata, and Toyama. On an administrative level, this region would be part of the [[Chūbu]] region. However, this area has significant historic and cultural differences that have led it to being considered separate.  

The largest ''Smash'' tournaments tend to occur in Ishikawa, including the long-running [[Ishibura]]. However, tournaments are also regularly hosted in the other prefectures.

The region's most successful player is {{Sm|Nagahari}}, who was one of the best {{SSBB|Diddy Kong}} players in Japan during ''Brawl''. While Nagahari continued to have success, despite infrequently playing, the region's representation would see growth with {{Sm|Sukekokko}}, {{Sm|Tofu|p=Japan}}, and {{Sm|Tsujikou}} in ''Smash 4'' and {{Sm|Monacoin Otaku}} and {{Sm|Rido}} in  ''Ultimate''. Sukekokko in particular garnered attention, notably placing 25th at {{Trn|Umebura Japan Major}}.
