3×3 one-handed · top 2.6% of 73,695 all-time · competing since July 2024 · 2024KOMO01
Naoto Komoto (河本七音) has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 11.70, set at Katano Spring 2026, puts him in the top 2.6% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 26th in Japan. Until August 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since July 2024, he has put 49 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.55 in July 2024 to 8.07, a 36% improvement. Naoto 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.
