Editing Kansai (region)

'''Kansai''' is a Japanese ''Smash'' region, coterminous with the traditional region of {{iw|wikipedia|Kansai}}, which includes the prefectures of Nara, Wakayama, Kyoto, Osaka, Hyōgo, Shiga, and sometimes Mie. Kansai is regarded as one of the two strongest and most influential ''Smash'' regions in Japan, alongside [[Kantō]]. The region is also occasionally referred as '''West Japan''', especially historically in regards to its ''Melee'' scene, though it is not one of the westernmost regions in the country.

The region has a long history of hosting notable ''Smash'' tournaments. One of the most notable tournaments was a 2005 ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' tournament known as the {{Trn|Jack Garden Tournament}} tournament. This tournament may still be the largest ''Melee'' tournament ever held in Japan.

Regarding ''Melee'' the region would host several notable series including, {{Trn|Crazy Hand}}, {{Trn|Ketubato}}, {{Trn|Kansai}}, and most notably {{Trn|Sumabato}}. While Sumabato would eventually discontinue hosting Melee tournaments, the series continues to host events for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]].'' Sumabato is one of Japan's most famous series and continues to attract top talent from across Japan.  In addition, {{Trn|KSB}} and {{Trn|Maesuma TOP}} continue to host large tournaments in ''Ultimate''.  {{Trn|Maesuma|series}} also hosts one of Japan's largest online tournament series, alongside {{Trn|Tamisuma|series}}. Finally, the region is famous for the {{Trn|Kansai}} tournament series for ''[[Super Smash Bros. 64]].''

Kansai is the home region of [[Nintendo]], the publisher of the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series, and is headquartered in Kyoto, Japan. Nintendo has sponsored some of their own tournaments and events.

The Kansai region is rich in talent, being home to players such as {{Sm|9B}}, {{Sm|komorikiri}} and {{Sm|Tea}}. Most notably, it is the home of {{Sm|acola}} and {{Sm|Miya|p=Honshu}}, two of ''Ultimate''{{'}}s [[Four Horsemen]]
