Satsuki Yamagishi (山岸颯希)

Satsuki Yamagishi (山岸颯希) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.51, set at Tokyo Winter 2025, puts him in the top 3.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 154th in Japan. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since December 2024, he has put 86 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 61% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.94 in December 2024 to 8.51, a 22% improvement. Satsuki has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% of everyone who has ever competed.
