'''KirbyKaze''' is a retired professional Canadian ''Melee'' player from Markham, Ontario (born in Thornhill), regarded as the best {{SSBM|Sheik}} player from Canada and one of the best Sheik players in the world, along with {{Sm|Mew2King}}, {{Sm|Plup}}, and {{Sm|Shroomed}}. From 2010-2012, he was a top 8 player and recorded the best results of his smash career to date, going head-to-head with USA's best, defeating {{Sm|Mango}} and {{Sm|PPMD}} at [[Revival of Melee 3]] and {{Sm|Hungrybox}} at [[Apex 2012]]. KirbyKaze placed 9th on the [http://meleeiton.me/2013/12/23/2013-ssbm-player-rankings-9/#more-779 Melee It On Me 2013 SSBM Rankings], giving him recognition as being the best Canadian Smasher. After taking a small break, KirbyKaze marked his return to ''Smash'' in 2014 by placing 4th at [[Get On My Level 2014]]. He has since seen strong results, notably [[SWEET Prologue]] which he won, and [[Apex 2015]] where he took 7th. He had an unexpectedly low 97th placing at [[EVO 2015]]. KirbyKaze is currently ranked 1st on the [[Southern Ontario Melee Power Rankings]]. He retired in December of 2015, citing a lack of drive.
