Fandom

Although Yu Nakajima likes to be called Nakaji by the Japanese cubers, the English-speaking community usually call him Nakajima. Nakajima's meteoric rise attracted a large number of fans. Because he went on a hiatus from cubing at his peak, many cubers wanted to see his return. Numerous posts on the Speedsolving Forums discussed his possible return, as inferred from the occasional videos he posted on YouTube.
