Okinawa is a Smash region and prefecture comprised of the Okinawa, Daitō, and Sakishima island chains. On an administrative level, this prefecture would be included in the Kyūshū region. However, due to the distance, players infrequently play in Kyūshū. As such, Okinawa is considered a separate Smash region.
Despite its size, it remains one of the more active regions in Japan and hosts the long-running series Churabura. The majority of Okinawa's tournaments are organized by their best player J-Snake. American military personnel also frequently attend tounraments in Okinawa.
