Kawano has shown that he is one of the strongest players in Street Fighter V - out-placing and beating all of the legends of the game in Japan. We have had the honor to support him for the past year and half, and we are ecstatic at his improvement and results. And we are beyond excited to see what more he will do in the future.

Get ready Street Fighter community. The future is here, and his name is Kawano!
