Keisuke Handa (半田圭賛) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.57, set at Tokyo Winter 2025, puts him in the top 3.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 164th in Japan. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since December 2024, he has put 30 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.90 in December 2024 to 8.57, a 28% improvement. Keisuke 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.
