Akihiko Kasamatsu (笠松暁輝) has been competing for 18 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.13, set at 30th Anniversary MegaHouse Cup 2010, puts him in the top 5.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 213th in Japan. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since March 2009, he has put 58 official solves on the record across one event.

His 3×3 best has come down from 11.69 in March 2009 to 9.13, a 22% improvement. Akihiko has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
