Nietono (にえとの) is a smasher from Japan who mains Olimar in Brawl, and Sheik and Diddy Kong in SSB4. He is generally considered to be the best Brawl Olimar in the world, a view that was strengthened by outplacing other top Olimars such as Rich Brown, Brood, and Dabuz at Apex 2012. He has participated in many Japanese tournaments, such as the SRBT series. His debut in the American smash scene was at Apex 2012, where he placed 2nd behind Otori in Brawl singles and 13th in doubles with his partner RAIN.

After participating in Sun Rise Tournament, Nietono claimed to be retiring from competitive Brawl, though this would turn out to be untrue when he entered Piosuma [1]. However, he did not take it as seriously as before, opting to use his secondaries rather than his usual Olimar.

Nietono is considered one of Japan's top SSB4 players, beating out Aile and Abadango for the top spot in the country's first national 3DS tournament, Umebura 8. He is currently ranked 6th on the eSports Runner Japanese Smash 4 Power Rankings.
