Shoichi Ishikawa (石川翔一) has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.78, set at Kansai Open 2016, puts him in the top 4.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 184th in Japan. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since September 2012, he has put 30 official solves on the record across one event.

Shoichi 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.
