3×3 · top 2.3% of 288,433 all-time · competing since June 2025 · 2025IKEZ01
Iori Ikezaki (池﨑伊織) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.67, set at Japan Championship 2026, puts him in the top 2.3% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 90th in Japan. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since June 2025, he has put 25 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.36 in June 2025 to 7.67, a 43% improvement. Iori 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.
