Kealoha Morimoto has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.79, set at Hawaiʻi Big Island Summer 2024, puts him in the top 6.7% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,705th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since November 2018, he has put 317 official solves on the record across twelve events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 19.27 in November 2019 to 11.53, a 40% improvement. Kealoha has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
