Created as a Japanese equivalent of the Games Done Quick marathons, RTA in Japan is a series of speedrunning events in which runners attempt to complete the game or accomplish a specific goal goal as fast as possible. These events have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charity since its creation in 2017. The RTA in Japan Summer 2023 event can be watched from its official website or its Twitch channel. Re-streams in English are also expected to be provided by the community.
