Earlier today Tokyo Joshi Pro invited the 16 participants for this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup to take part in the random draw for the brackets. It was one of the rare times when every single wrestler showed up and was able to get their bracket spot in person. They got to pick in order of their birthdays. That means it started with Hyper Misao because her birthday is 3rd January and went on all the way to the end with HIMAWARI because her birthday is on 18th December. The bracket is split into four blocks with the Round 1 matches split across the first two shows.

Shinjuku FACE
1. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1A: Raku Vs Miu Watanabe
2. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1C: Moka Miyamoto Vs Miyu Yamashita
3. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1E: Mizuki Vs Yuki Aino
4. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1G: Suzume Vs Wakana Uehara
It has been over five years since Raku and Miu Watanabe last had a singles match against each other. Raku is excited because the most fun she had from wrestling against Watanabe was the 3 Way Match they had with Haruna Neko this past January. It was the most fun because Raku won the match! She tried to intimidate Watanabe at the press conference by forming a triangle over her head with her arms. Watanabe thought she was trying to be a traffic cone.
Moka Miyamoto has a very big wall facing her in Round 1 against the returning Miyu Yamashita. She is feeling good after winning her two preliminary matches to qualify for the main tournament and will do her best to make this summer a long one. Yamashita has seen how much stronger Miyamoto has gotten but hasn’t felt that power yet. So she encourages her opponent to hit her harder otherwise she won’t be able to beat her. There is also someone in particular that Yamashita wants to beat in this tournament and that’s Rika Tatsumi! Their last singles match was in May 2021 at an empty Korakuen Hall because of the covid lockdown. She thinks Tatsumi’s matches have become special occassions and she’s noticed how crazier she has become since that last singles match. So Yamashita wants to decide which of them is crazier!
The reigning Princess Of Princess Champion has a big title match coming up in Ota Ward Gymnasium next week but Mizuki sees a vision beyond that. She thinks it would be amazing if the Princess Champion goes and wins the Princess Cup! It’s going to be hard but there are a lot of people in the tournament that Mizuki wants to fight. Yuki Aino wants to focus all of her energy to face the champion in Round 1. That’s if Mizuki is still the champion coming out of Ota Ward. Aino sees a lot of Princess champions in this tournament and she doesn’t want to be left out because she is the princess of the summer!
Funnily enough, during the Texas tour Suzume and Wakana Uehara wrestled each other in a tag match then afterwards talked about how long its been since their last singles match together. Suzume is not going to underestimate Uehara after seeing her advance through the preliminary league. She couldn’t make it to the final four last year so that is her goal this time around. Uehara was pinned by Suzume in Texas but is using this experience to help her win the Princess Cup. If she gets past Suzume then she has some familiar opponents waiting for her in Round 2. It’s either the woman who eliminated her last year or her Ober Eats tag team partner.

Shizuoka Act City Hamamatsu
1. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1B: HIMAWARI Vs Haru Kazashiro
2. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1D: Arisu Endo Vs Hyper Misao
3. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1F: Shoko Nakajima Vs Rika Tatsumi
4. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1H: Yuki Kamifuku Vs Yuki Arai
Shades of last year’s Next Gen Tournament still follow around some of the wrestlers. HIMAWARI expects Haru Kazashiro to be a tough opponent because she won last year’s Next Gen Tournament while HIMAWARI was knocked out in Round 1. But HIMAWARI has been working hard and wants to keep her momentum going into the Princess Cup. Kazashiro remembers losing to HIMAWARI in the 2023 Next Gen Tournament and she is an opponent Kazashiro hasn’t been able to beat yet. So the timing of this match is a big deal for her. She will aim to seize the last summer of her high school years!
There was a time when Arisu Endo disliked having to wrestle Hyper Misao because Misao would always cheat. Her opinion slowly changed over time and now Endo sees Misao as a really cool hero! She hopes Misao will fight fair and square this time, just like how Endo always does. Misao said she can’t lost here in Round 1 because the Texas tour reaffirmed what she wants to do in TJPW. She needs a lot of power to protect love and peace in TJPW so she figures the quickest way to get it is to win this tournament.
Shoko Nakajima believes she is the only one who can climb this mountain and win. She is currently a Princess Tag Team Champion and also the MLW Women’s Featherweight Champion. She also wants to face Mizuki in Round 2 for a champion versus champion match. But first she needs to become a kaiju that can step over a dragon. Normally Rika Tatsumi loves the summer but all of a sudden this steep mountain has appeared in front of her. She just heard about Yamashita targeting her and she has a score to settle with Nakajima after they fought each other to a time limit draw last December. And of course there is the chance she could face her beloved Mizuki in Round 2. However she wants to fight Mizuki in a rematch for the Princess Title after she wins the tournament so she is actually rooting for Yuki Aino to win and meet her in Round 2 instead!
While Yuki Arai has been skyrocketing up the company to main event Ota Ward next week, Yuki Kamifuku has been wrestling around Southeast Asia and having fun doing it. She now feels like if TJPW fired her today or tomorrow she would have no trouble surviving it. She wants to show the others that invincible people are the scariest. Suzume, Arai and Uehara all have matches they want to get in Round 2 but Kamifuku is going to be mean and not let them happen. Arai has been taking part in the Princess Cup every year since her debut. It helped her make progress one step at a time but this will be her first since graduating as an idol to focus solely on wrestling. She’s thankful to hear so many wrestlers want to fight her so she hopes to be at her strongest to surpass all of those opponents.
