Tomoki Takeda (武田智喜)
3×3 · top 1.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2025 · 2025TAKE02
Tomoki Takeda (武田智喜) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.80, set at Japan Championship 2026, puts him in the top 1.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 50th in Japan. Until November 2010, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since August 2025, he has put 48 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 9.24 in August 2025 to 6.80, a 26% improvement. Tomoki has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
