Editing Tōhoku

'''Tōhoku''' is a ''Smash'' region in Japan. Located at the northernmost portion of the island of Honshū, the region is compromised of six prefectures. These include, Akita, Aomori, Fukushima, Iwate, Miyagi, and Yamagata. 

While many of the prefectures host locals, the majority of large-scale tournaments, including the long-running [[Tohoku Sumabura Championship]] (TSC) series, occur in Miyagi.  

The region has grown significantly over the years. In {{forwiiu}} the region saw several players achieving significant success in Japan's strongest regions, [[Kantō]] and [[Kansai (region)|Kansai]]. For example,  {{Sm|Songn}}, also a notable ''Brawl'' player, placed 4th at {{Trn|Super Sumabato}}, 7th at {{Trn|Umebura 13}}, and 13th at {{Trn|Umebura 33}}. Similarly, {{Sm|Somé}} placed 3rd at {{Trn|Sumabato Smash 4 Final}} and 5th at both {{Trn|Umebura 19}} and {{Trn|Umebura 26}}. Somé notably also placed 9th at the American [[national]] {{Trn|Frostbite 2017}}. Tōhoku's  strongest players continued  to have success in ''Ultimate'' as evidenced by the rise of other players like {{Sm|Logix}} who is considered to be among the best players at their character in Japan.
