William Kamiyama
3×3 blindfolded · top 2.4% of 12,178 all-time · competing since April 2018 · 2018KAMI02
William Kamiyama has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 23.00, set at Davis Big Summer 2026, puts him in the top 2.4% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 47th in the United States. Until November 2014, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since April 2018, he has put 139 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 67% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.05 in April 2018 to 8.07, a 55% improvement. William has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
