Kotaro Enoki (榎康太郎) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.53, set at Japan Open 2016, puts him in the top 9.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 396th in Japan. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since May 2016, he has put 40 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 8% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.27 in May 2016 to 10.53, a 14% improvement. Kotaro has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
