Kansai Mega Day 2026 set for Daito City Hall on August 1

Kansai Mega Day 2026 will keep the menu tight: just 3x3x3 Cube and Megaminx at Daito City Hall in Daito, Osaka, on August 1. Registration runs through the World Cube Association site, and the competition is organized by Osaka Cube Club.

That narrow slate says a lot about what this meet is built for. The World Cube Association listing puts the competition in the main conference room at , 4-6 Akebonocho, Daito, Osaka 574-0076, with Asami Ohkusa, Takayuki Tanaka, Yasunari Kumekawa, and Yuichi Hamada listed as organizers. Ohkusa and Hamada are also named as WCA delegates, which gives the event an official backbone even as the event list stays small.

The registration page shows a competitor cap of 75 and a base fee of ¥3,000. That is not the shape of a giant all-rounder championship. It is a controlled, lower-friction entry point where a specialist can show up for Megaminx, a 3x3 regular can get another official result, and a newer competitor does not have to navigate a full multi-event schedule just to get into a WCA meet.

The field was already moving. The latest registration page showed 23 competitors signed up, including 2 first-timers, with entrants coming from 2 regions. Among the listed names were James Kyoichi Curry, Ao Nogami, Kantaro Sakamoto, Kenta Ikeda, Kosuke Takahashi, Kyoka Kobayashi, Masafumi Mitera, Mirei Morioka, Muku Mitera, Noah Calderon-Kamata, Ryota Tokusawa, Seiya Matsuyama, Shoi Hamaguchi, Syunei Miyauchi, Takaranosuke Akagi, Takuma Shirahase, Takumi Kawazoe, Tokiya Matsuda, Toshiya Sato, and Yuhi Kohno.

The venue choice also fits a pattern. Daito City Hall is already booked for Japan FMC Championship 2026 on July 4 and Japan Championship 2026 on July 18 to 19, making it one of the most active WCA hubs in Japan this summer. Kansai Mega Day 2026 arrives in the middle of that run with a compact format, a modest cap, and a field that already mixes first-timers with returning names before the room even opens.
