Atsushi Yazawa (矢澤篤) has been competing for 21 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.56, set at Kansai Open 2012, puts him in the top 9.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 400th in Japan. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 23 competitions since September 2005, he has put 251 official solves on the record across four events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 37.28 in September 2005 to 10.56, a 72% improvement. Atsushi has entered 23 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
