Teru Tano (田野輝) has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 14.04, set at Kanto Spring 2025, puts him in the top 6.2% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 62nd in Japan. Until September 2009, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since November 2023, he has put 25 official solves on the record across two events. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.03 in November 2023 to 12.12, a 24% improvement. Teru 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.
