Abadango is a top professional smasher from Japan.

In Brawl, he mains Wario, Olimar, and Falco, and is considered to be the best Wario player in Japan, with notable tournament placings such as 33rd in Apex 2013. He is mostly known, however, for his play in SSB4, and is widely considered to be the best Pac-Man player in the world (although he no longer mains him), managing to reach the finals of Umebura 8, the first national Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS tournament, where he defeated gain and RAIN before losing to Nietono, and placing 7th at Apex 2015, losing to Mr. R in winners finals of his round 2 pool and Dabuz in losers top 8. He also placed 4th at EVO 2015, defeating ESAM 2-1 in winners quarters, losing to ZeRo 0-2 in winners semis, defeating Dabuz 2-0 in losers quarters, and finally being eliminated by Mr. R 1-2 in losers semis.

Although he no longer mains Wario in SSB4, he is still considered to be one of his best players in the world (along with Glutonny and TheReflexWonder), as well as one of the best Rosalina & Luma players in Japan (along with Kirihara) and a top Meta Knight player. He also mains Jigglypuff in Melee and Diddy Kong in Project M, though he doesn't place as well with them as in Brawl or SSB4. He is currently ranked 5th on the Umebura Smash 4 Power Rankings.
