Evo Japan announced. More details later this year

More details will be revealed at the Tokyo Game Show.

On the final day of this year's Evo tourament, community leader Mark “MarkMan” Julio was joined on stage by Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono and Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada, to announce that Japan would be getting their own Evo tournament.

We'll know more about the event at the Tokyo Game Show in September, so expect more updates then.
