Mitsuki Gunji (郡司光貴) has been competing for 20 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 5.95, set at Tokyo Challenge Winter B 2023, puts him in the top 0.46% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 17th in Japan. Until June 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 57 competitions since July 2006, he has put 1,626 official solves on the record across 14 events.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
