Fumitaka Nakamura (中村文孝) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.80, set at Kansai Mega Day 2025, puts him in the top 4.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 186th in Japan. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since July 2018, he has put 58 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 56.24 in July 2018 to 8.80, an 84% improvement. Fumitaka has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
