Kohei Fujitani (藤谷航平) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 11.71, set at Tokai Open AM 2024, puts him in the top 2.6% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 27th in Japan. Until August 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since April 2019, he has put 125 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 69% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.73 in April 2019 to 8.03, a 57% improvement. Kohei has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
