Chūgoku is a Smash region in Japan located on the island of Honshū. The Chūgoku region is comprised of five prefectures. These include Hiroshima, Okayama, Shimane, Tottori, and Yamaguchi.
The largest Smash tournaments tend to occur in Hiroshima. This prefecture hosts the long-running Hirosuma series. While Hiroshima remains the main tournament hub Okayama and Yamaguchi also host regular series. In contrast, Tottori has had very few tournaments in the lifetime of the Smash series as the prefecture is the least populous in Japan. In spite of this, the prefecture is home to Ron who has been ranked on multiple editions of the Panda Global Rankings.
While Chūgoku hosts a relatively small Smash scene, the region has been home to notable players spanning several decades. In Melee, the region came to prominence as a result of Rudolph and Zoma. However, the regions most world renowned players competed in Brawl. Specifically the brothers Kakera and Otori. Otori famously took a few years to win a tournament despite being a top competitor. That first win came at the largest Brawl tournament in history, Apex 2012.
