From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki
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.
Tournament activity is the greatest in Fukuoka, as it is the home of the long-running Shulla-bra series and the large KOWLOON series. Outside of Fukuoka, Kagoshima and Kumamoto regularly hosts tournaments. The remaining prefectures tend to host tourneys more infrequently.
The regions most famous player is Shuton, the best Olimar player in Smash 4 and one of the best players in Ultimate. Shuton later moved to Kantō, leaving the region without a top-level representative until Hurt's rise in 2023. In addition, the region is the home of Inngenn, who is considered the second-best Japanese player in the post-Slippi era.
