'''Shikoku''' is a ''Smash'' region in Japan. Shikoku is the fourth largest of the five main Japanese islands.  
'''Shikoku''' is a ''Smash'' region in Japan, and is the fourth largest of the five main Japanese islands. It borders the [[Chūgoku]] region, and as such many players also regularly play in the neighboring Okayama prefecture.


Shikoku is considered the youngest ''Smash'' region in Japan, as it only began developing during the ''[[Smash 4]]'' era, with their main tournament series being {{Trn|Himebra}}. As such, only a few notable players during ''Smash 4'' came from that region, including {{Sm|Ginko}}, who ranked as high as 54th on the [[JAPAN Power Rankings]]. However, the scene grew significantly during ''[[Ultimate]]'' after several noteworthy locals were founded during this time, and has since seen several players achieve recognition at a global scale, the most notable players being {{Sm|Asimo}} (prior to his move to Chūgoku) and {{Sm|Yaura}}.
Shikoku only developed a Smash scene during {{forwiiu}} era. As such, it is yougest Smash region in Japan. The main tournament series during this era was [[Himebra]].

Many players also regularly play in the neighboring Okayama prefecture which is part of the [[Chūgoku]] region of Japan.
