For those unfamiliar with the Hitachi SuperH architecture, imagine THUMB. ARM even had to license some of the patents from Hitchai when they developed THUMB. SuperH architecture is not the same thing as THUMB, but it has a lot in common, mainly use of 16-bit instructions, and instructions that only specify two registers rather than three.

But it also has some RISC jank of the era, such as branch delay slots.
