This isn't something I'm an expert on, because I've only been cubing for about 14 months, but Nakajima was a beast because he just came out of nowhere, and became an expert at everything. Hand him a puzzle, he'd get world record times in weeks. Not even joking. He was one of the fastest ever to sub 20 I think, and he got ridiculous times at home on camera that dwarfed most for a couple of years to come. In fact, look at the dates on his fast videos, and you'll see he was sub-11 before it was in style. He won WC 2007 in Budapest as a relative unknown in the cubing community. And his records are still top 20, and he hasn't seriously cubed since early 2009.

Because all, and I mean all of the fast (sub 15) cubers today looked up to Nakajima when they were starting out and watching his videos in awe, nearly jizzing their pants in the process, he was also an inspiration. It's like me, a guy who is on the threshold of sub-20, watching Faz today. Even if he quits, we'll be talking about the young Aussie cuber for about 10 years because he was the first sub-10 guy. Although he needs more comps under his belt to really solidify it.
