acola (あcola) is a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Steve player with a Kazuya secondary from Japan who is considered to be the current best player in the world. acola has gained a worldwide spotlight due to his impressive consistency as a player, arguably on par with the likes of MkLeo; up until Maesuma Offline (Shikoku), he had made grand finals at every offline tournament he attended, including winning his first major at Maesuma TOP 7, his first supermajor at Kagaribi 7, and his first invitational major and overseas tournament at The Gimvitational. His victory at Maesuma TOP 7 made him the youngest Ultimate player to win a major, at the age of 15 years old. He is also the only Ultimate player to win the first major and supermajor that they attended.
He frequently enters single-elimination live tournaments on Smashmate. He was ranked 1st on the Smashmate SP ranking from the 15th season to the 20th season, and is the first player to achieve a 2,500 rating. He is currently ranked 1st on the LumiRank Mid-Year 2023 as well as 39th on the Experimental Smash Player Rankings.
