TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHOKO NAKAJIMA NIIGATA HOMECOMING – SHOKO QUEST IV: THOSE GUIDED BY THE SNOW COUNTRY”, 11/02/2026
Niigata Dúo CEREZO
215 Fans
1. Arisu Endo defeated Shion Kanzaki with the Camel Clutch (6:41).
2. Suzume defeated Mifu Ashida with the Ring A Bell (7:25).
3. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – 3 Way Match: Miyu Yamashita defeated Raku and Mahiro Kiryu (c) when Yamashita pinned Kiryu with the Skull Kick (7:55).
*Miyu Yamashita becomes the 1,801st champion.
4. Max The Pompaler & Pom Harajuku defeated Hyper Misao & Chika Nanase when Max pinned Nanase with the Short-Range Lariat (8:10).
5. Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi defeated Sara Phoenix & Kira Summer when Tatsumi pinned Summer with the Twist Of Fate (11:44).
6. Mizuki, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Ren Konatsu when Takami submitted Konatsu with the Koala Clutch (12:06).
7. Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated Yuki Arai, HIMAWARI & Toga when Nakajima pinned HIMAWARI with the Diving Senton (14:46).
Niigata’s own Shoko Nakajima led the ToJo Tokusatsu Club to victory despite the setback of failing to combine into one Megazord several times throughout the match. After picking up the win, Nakajima told everyone a story about the time she went to the Tokamachi Snow Festival as a child and she along with her siblings got to meet the heroes from Gekisou Sentai Carranger. She still keeps the group photo they took in her home back in Tokyo and it is something she treasures. She’s been worried about her family back here because of the heavy snowfall this year and wants to become a hero to be a source of inspiration for everyone to keep working harder. The ToJo Tokusatsu Club don’t borrow the power of heroes, they fight alongside them!
In a preview of this Saturday’s Max Heart Tournament final, Mizuki & Uta Takami got the better of Ober Eats in a 6-Woman Tag Match. Mizuki landed a Diving Cross Body onto Wakana Uehara and then helped Takami take down Yuki Kamifuku with a Dropkick. Ren Konatsu tried to beat Takami using different roll ups but Takami Dropkicked her as well and made Konatsu give up to the Koala Clutch. She later declared that a girl from the Hokuriku region has conquered the land of snow! Mizuki said she doesn’t normally believe in momentum but she can really feel there is a lot of it behind Takami. Shino Suzuki is also thrilled to have teamed with them again and be on the winning team today. Kamifuku encouraged Uehara by telling her the most important thing today is she worked hard. It’s all about being able to help each other, which was proven when Kamifuku forgot to bring her kneepads today and needed to borrow a pair from Shion Kanzaki. Uehara said she loved the warm atmosphere in the building today and she wants to bring it with her all the way to Korakuen Hall.
Before Pompaler made their entrance for Match #4, Hyper Misao got on the microphone to tell Chika Nanase what their gameplan will be. Misao admits Pompaler are too experienced of a tag team for a first time pairing to beat so she asked Super Sasadango Machine to give her some sasadango treats to distract Max The Impaler with. Then they could double team Pom Harajuku and throw her at Max for once. The plan didn’t work well enough. Max fell for the distraction but easily caught Harajuku when she was thrown at them. Max then threw Harajuku at the other team but they both dodged out of the way and Sasadango took the impact instead. Max went on to pin Nanase with the Short-Range Lariat and proceeded to take her scrunchie as a trophy.
An alliance between Raku and Mahiro Kiryu was unable to stop Miyu Yamashita from becoming the new Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. She hit Raku with the Return Crash then pinned Kiryu with the Skull Kick for the victory. Later after the show there was a fan event that featured the roster competing in different games. One of them was a challenge where several wrestlers all tried to pause a stopwatch at exactly the ten second mark. Whoever got the closest time would be the winner. Since Yamashita took part in it that meant the Iron Man Title was put on the line. The ring announcer Rise Shirai ended up winning the contest to become the new champion. Then later in the event everyone surprised Shion Kanzaki by giving her a cake for her birthday. While they were all celebrating, Kiryu attacked Shirai in front of everybody and used the stopwatch’s cord to choke her into submission. The referee called it a title change but decided the Stopwatch was now the champion! Kiryu then grabbed the Stopwatch, ran away to an empty room where only the referee could follow her and she pinned it to become the champion again.
Sasadango was at the event as the PR Ambassador for “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”. The last time he was at a TJPW show he gave some people challenges to help promote the Sumo Hall show. Today he was looking to get some updates along with giving out more marketing ideas for the roster to take part in. He heard about the ToJo Tokusatsu Club’s request to fight alongside the Super Sentai. He told them that CyberFight actually are working hard on trying to make a collaboration happen but it will be a challenge to make it a reality. So in the meantime he instructed the Club to take part in secret training to prepare for Sumo Hall. Sasadango then asked Tetsuya Koda if there was any progress in him finding a big celebrity to wrestle on the show. He had to remind Koda that this task is seperate from the Super Sentai one. That made Koda admit he’s made zero progress and he doesn’t know where to start. Sasadango told Koda if he can’t do this task then they might as well cancel “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” and nobody wants that to happen. According to Sasadango, if Koda looks hard enough he can find 20 people who are famous enough to fill Sumo Hall by themselves.
When Sasadango was done with catching up on the current challenges, he went to find Rika Tatsumi so he could give her one too. He approached Daydream after they won their tag match and asked Tatsumi what is her most unique quality? Tatsumi said she is a classic idol wrestler but Sasadango corrected her. Her best quality is her madness! Tatsumi refused to believe him but Sasadango brought up how she always strangles her opponents and he doesn’t understand why everyone in Tokyo Joshi Pro ignores it. His challenge to Tatsumi is to hone the insanity inside herself to help liven up Sumo Hall! Tatsumi needs to face the madness within herself but she doesn’t understand what Sasadango means by that. She isn’t a psychopath and she wants to prove it by shaking Sasadango’s hand. But as the handshake was happening, Sasadango encouraged her to try and strangle him. She wouldn’t so he simply told her to do her best and then left. Tatsumi doesn’t know what to do about this. Miu Watanabe however is looking forward to seeing what side of Tatsumi everyone will see at Sumo Hall, the classic idol wrestler or the psychopath?

5. Hinata Kasai (0)
The final day of B Block matches ended in a massive stalemate for first place between three wrestlers. Rukiya started off the show with an easy win over Hinata Kasai to reach 6 points, matching the same total as Yuya Koroku. In the main event Koroku just needed to avoid losing to book his place in the final but Takeshi Masada had other ideas. Masada defended himself from Koroku’s gameplan to target his arms and hit the Manburi knee kick twice to win the match, bringing his final score to six points as well. The B Block ended with Rukiya, Koroku and Masada all tied for first place and stuck in a 1-1 record with each other that meant the normal tiebreaker rules could not determine who qualified for the final.
It was up to Akito to make the decision because he was the stand-in GM for Hisaya Imabayashi today. Rather than do a 3 Way match or a game of Rock Paper Scissors, Akito instead decided to do a sumo style playoff where the three wrestlers would compete in alternating singles matches one after the other until one of them won two matches in a row. Rock Paper Scissors was actually used to determine the first match, which was Koroku facing Rukiya. Koroku suffered his second loss in a row, falling to Rukiya’s Running Elbow Butt. In the next match Rukiya hit the same move on Masada followed by the Proto Bomb but Masada found the energy to cradle Rukiya and pin him out of nowhere. That brought things back to Masada Vs Koroku except at this point both men were exhausted. Masada was able to hit the Manburi once more and again beat Koroku, giving him the second win in a row needed to end the playoff and send him into the D GENERATIONS CUP final!
Koroku didn’t like that he lost to Masada but admits his opponent is strong and it made the DGC more exciting, so he will support Masada in the final. The A Block finalist Kazuma Sumi had been watching the whole thing at ringside and confronted Masada in the ring. Sumi said he thinks he is on a roll and is also the most entertaining wrestler from D GENERATIONS. He also made the mistake of saying the final will be held next month and Masada corrected him that 22nd February is this month. Masada also said he is above the level of just being Sumi’s classmate and will show that difference in class at Korakuen Hall on the 22nd.
Sumi was actually given a secret test for his match earlier on the show. He was put in the same match as Danshoku Dieno and Kazuki Hirata only to be told by Akito that he shouldn’t be mixing it up with the “Variety Group” wrestlers. Sumi understood and tried to wrestle a normal, serious match but knew something felt off because that’s not the DDT way. After a brief argument Sumi, Dieno and Hirata all got on the same page and returned to doing their usual comedy bits. Akito got thrown face first into Dieno’s backside and Sumi took part in Hirata’s dance before pinning him with the School Boy. After the match Akito revealed to Sumi this was all a test and he passed! He explained a top DDT wrestler is someone who can always work with the comedy wrestlers in the second match on the card as well as put on good match in the main event. Sumi proved he is more than qualified to do that. Akito then encouraged Sumi to win the DGC final and he will be waiting for him back in Match #2.
Yuni’s 18th birthday is today and Ilusion wanted to ruin it. His “present” was to take one of Yuni’s portraits from the merch table, tarnish it with his own “autographed” message and then rip it apart in front of his opponent. He also stuffed the crumbled up pieces of paper into Yuni’s mouth during one of the heat segments. Yuni’s big comeback at the end of the match was cut off by a chairshot to the back from Hideki Okatani. That gave Ilusion the opening to DDT Yuni and pin him with the Swanton Bomb.
Just like with yesterday, Tomomitsu Matsunaga stepped in to take Junta Miyawaki’s place because Miyawaki is currently feeling unwell.

Kazuma Sumi has booked his spot in the D GENERATIONS CUP final! The A Block wound up sorting itself out rather nicely at the end too. When it was time for the main event, Sumi only needed to beat Yuki Ishida to top the group. Ishida wouldn’t go down without a fight and even lunged forward to throw the Ensho after taking a Thrust Kick to the jaw. Sumi however countered that into the School Boy and pinned him down with as hard as he could to get the three count. He said he can now see the top of the mountain that everyone has been aiming for and will win the DGC no matter who he faces in the final.
The person who was most angry over the main event result was To-y. He still had a path to the final open when he beat Daichi Sato and needed Ishida to beat Sumi to set up a sudden death tiebreaker. He even sat at ringside to watch the main event but when Ishida lost, To-y stormed backstage and confronted him over the result. To-y blamed Ishida for knocking him out of the tournament and then brought up the time they went drinking together. Ishida got so drunk he convinced To-y to pay for the bill which turned out to cost him 40,000 yen! To-y is willing to settle this debt by offering Ishida a shot at the DDT Extreme Title. Ishida can get a title match on the condition that if he loses he must pay back To-y his 40,000 yen!
Pokotan made a bigger mark on the Imaike Rumble than expected. He ended up being involved with eliminating wrestlers like Yuki Ueno, HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dieno and Chris Brookes. Late in the match, Pokotan uncharacteristically gave Kazuki Hirata a Low Blow. He was then revealed to be Ilusion is disguise! Ilusion was already in the match so there must have been a point when he disappeared along with Pokotan, took over the mascot’s costume and then snuck back in. Despite his trick working, Ilusion wound up losing the match to Naomi Yoshimura. The prize Yoshimura received for winning the Rumble was some local uiro treats.
An illness has taken Junta Miyawaki out of this weekend’s shows. Tomomitsu Matsunaga is his substitute for both today and tomorrow.

So far any concerns on if The Apex will get along with Strange Love Connection can be put to rest. Yukio Naya got along with MAO & KANON, even taking some instructions from them to set up their teamwork. The other story of the match was KANON locking horns with Yuki Ueno. When their exchange ended without a clear winner, MAO and Shinya Aoki took over. KANON got back into the swing of things getting into a Lariat clash with Tomomitsu Matsunaga. In the end, KANON’s Lariat was stronger and he got to win the match with the move. After the match KANON talked about his first few months with DDT where he joined DAMNATION T.A and became really cocky. He changed his tune when Ueno gave him his first loss in the company and over the last four years he’s been wanting to beat Ueno ever since. Ueno lost his temper and told KANON to stop lying. KANON then said Ueno knows nothing about him so he’s going to fill up Ueno’s head until he thinks about nothing else but KANON!
A freak accident at the start of the 3 Way trios match led to the uncommon sight of blood in a DDT ring. As Daisuke Sasaki took off his jacket, he whipped it right into the side of Antonio Honda’s head as part of a DAMNATION T.A ambush. The studs on the jacket must have caused some deep scratches because when Honda reappeared in the ring a few minutes later the side of his head had large bloodstains that were clear for everyone to see. The other members of FANTÔMES DRAMATIC bandaged him up with a towel while he was setting up his Gongitsune speech.
Hisaya Imabayashi had sold 50 tickets of the show to some of his acquaintances in the theater business so he asked Danshoku Dieno to instantly beat Kazuki Hirata so he could get angry at them and impress his colleagues. Hirata however didn’t want to lose and wouldn’t lay down so for once he wasn’t actually pinned for the three count immediately. Imabayashi stopped the match anyway to complain about not being able to complain. Hirata convinced him that if he wanted to look cool, he should join the match and make it 3 Vs 2! The GM agreed, siding with Hirata & Toru Owashi to face Dieno & Jun Akiyama for the restart. He immediately lost his courage but finally entered the match to give Dieno an STO. When Akiyama tagged in, Imabayashi psyched himself to give him some Elbow Strikes and a few Stunners. He wasn’t strong enough to give Akiyama an STO so Akiyama gave him a Headbutt and Running Knee Strike instead. Imabayashi kicked out of the pin so Akiyama decided to set up the Exploder Suplex. That caused Imabayashi to instantly give up out of fear.
Over at the D GENERATIONS CUP the two blocks are heading towards the finish line. Kazuma Sumi showed he is still in the race by beating Daichi Sato in the main event. He tried to School Boy him a bunch during the middle of the match but then resorted to using a Rolling Elbow and a High Kick. Those moves left Sato stunned for long enough to make the School Boy and effective way to beat him. Sumi wants to reach the final because his goal for the year is to win the DGC, then win the DDT Universal Title and after that win King Of DDT! Meanwhile To-y suffered a setback by losing to Ilusion, giving the masked heel a victory in his final match of the tournament. When chairshots didn’t have the intended effect, Ilusion used a ref bump to give To-y a Low Blow. He then wrapped some of the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Title belts around his body and landed a Coffin Drop onto To-y for extra damage. With that done, Ilusion then got the win by doing the Swanton Bomb without the belts.
The B Block might end up with Yuya Koroku going through as the clear winner of all of his matches. He is now three for three after beating Hinata Kasai. He wants to achieve a perfect record in order to push the limit and raise the level of D GENERATIONS even higher. If that happens, Koroku thinks that may be what it takes to get DDT to the Tokyo Dome. He’s not in the clear yet though. Takeshi Masada ended any hope Yuni has of reaching the final in the B Block to keep himself in the chase. Masada is now in the position to beat Koroku to win the block and he thinks that will be easy to do even when he is all by himself.

3. GRACE PROJECT Offer Match: Tomoya Hirata, Captain Grace & Violento Jack defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga when Jack pinned Hiroshi with the San Buena Ventura (11:03).

*V1 for Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura.
6. Union MAX Title: Shuji Ishikawa (c) defeated FUMA with the Giant Slam (19:53).
*V1 for Shuji Ishikawa.
The last time Shuji Ishikawa and FUMA fought each other for the Union MAX Title was way back in April 2015. Over ten years later they went through with the rematch. This time it was Ishikawa who won and he even kicked out of the Jawbreaker kick. FUMA kicked out of the Kamigoye and the Splash Mountain so Ishikawa needed to use the Giant Slam to finally put him away. Ishikawa thanked FUMA after the match because it made him push himself further to become even stronger. He then invited all of the BASARA wrestlers out to talk about the company’s 10th Anniversary. Union Pro closed down on its 10th Anniversary but Ishikawa is confident BASARA will continue on to reach its 15th and even 20th anniversaries. As long as he holds a championship with Union’s name on it he will consider BASARA like it is home but he will still be a stubborn champion for everyone here to try and beat. He exited the ring and left the rest of the locker room to end the show by celebrating BASARA’s happy occasion.
Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura overcame the Super Family to remain the Iron Fist Tag Team Champions. They praised the challengers for having better teamwork than their own and are now waiting to see who they will defend the titles against next. Shimomura will be celebrating his own 10th Anniversary in March but he wants to have a title defence before then. SAGAT asked Lil’ Kraken backstage if they are going to split up because that was the plan if they lost without showing any growth. He would like them to continue teaming together and Kraken told him he will spend the night thinking about it.
After a three month hiatus to deal with a neck injury, Isami Kodaka returned to action today. Despite losing the match he is happy his comeback happened safely and he is excited to see what BASARA will be like after reaching the ten year milestone.
At the start of the show Ryuichi Sekine promoted the next Gaisen Sakura Pro Wrestling show taking place in Okayama on 11th April.

It was a rocky road to get to this show with some changes happening along the way. Masaaki Mochizuki was supposed to defend the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title against Munetatsu Nakamura but Nakamura pulled out with a neck injury and was replaced by Shinichiro Tominaga. Then the location of the show had to change from Takashimadaira Kumin Center over to Shin-Kiba 1st RING on short notice because the first venue was being turned into a polling station for the upcoming House Of Representative elections.
In the main event, Tominaga came close to winning with his finisher but Mochizuki countered it with a sudden Crucifix Pin to win the match and survive a close shave. He praised Tominaga for acting like a pinch hitter for today’s show. He heard that Tominaga is the strongest “amateur” pro wrestler but today’s performance showed there is nothing amateur about him. He had more of a sense for pro wrestling than many people Mochizuki has fought in the past. Mizuki Watase entered the ring and talked up Mochizuki for being a great champion. Watase feels like he is at the point where he can beat a great champion like Mochizuki so he wants a title shot. The champion knew he would face Watase some day but didn’t expect it to be this soon, although he admits the time is right in Watase’s case.
Yuya Susumu has come back to Ganbare☆Pro on a mission to get a singles match against Keisuke Ishii. In today’s tag match he countered Ishii’s Double Arm DDT into a Crossface Lock, making Ishii immediately tap out to the move. Susumu then promised he isn’t going to run away from GanPro just because he beat Ishii today. He’ll come back so he can get that singles match he wants so much.
At the end of the show Ken Ohka announced he will be teaming up with freelance wrestler Hiroaki Moriya at GanPro’s Osaka show on 1st March. They are scheduled to face Touchable at the show so Ohka wants the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles to be on the line. Yumehito Imanari agreed to the challenge but only on the condition that Ohka goes and vote in the elections before then.
More last minute changes were needed when Moeka Haruhi and Choun Shiryu both unexpectedly no showed the event. Luckily GanPro had two replacements on hand who had a grievance with each other. Hong Kong International Police Woman defeated Hong Kong International Police Man in a match that was built around a crime case involving police corruption.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 6TH “FUTARI WA PRINCESS” MAX HEART TOURNAMENT”, 31/01/2026
Shinjuku FACE
282 Fans
1. HIMAWARI defeated Shion Kanzaki with a Single Leg Crab Hold (6:24).
2. Hyper Misao defeated Shino Suzuki with La Magistral Cradle (8:16).
3. Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated Yuki Arai, Mifu Ashida & Kira Summer when Nakajima pinned Summer with the Northern Lights Suplex (10:40).
4. Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Miyu Yamashita, Raku & Ren Konatsu when Tatsumi pinned Konatsu with the Twist Of Fate (9:07).
5. MIRAI & Sara Phoenix defeated Toga & Chika Nanase when MIRAI pinned Nanase with the Suteki MIRAI☆Lock (14:59).
6. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Semi-Final: Mizuki & Uta Takami defeated Suzume & Arisu Endo when Mizuki pinned Endo with the Cutie Special (13:16).
7. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Semi-Final: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku when Kamifuku pinned Harajuku with the Diving Famouser (13:29).
And now there are only two teams left. The Max Heart Tournament semi finals cut down two accomplished tag teams today, one of them being former winners and the other being last year’s finalists. Ober Eats however have become the first reigning Princess Tag Team Champions to make it to the last round by eliminated Pompaler in today’s main event. Max The Impaler was almost unstoppable by themselves but things went south when Pompaler missed the Laforet Harajuku Cannonball into the corner. Wakana Uehara got in some extra damage by giving Max the Sushi Tornado while Yuki Kamifuku got the pin on Pom Harajuku with the Diving Famouser. It was a redeeming victory for Ober Eats because they lost to Pompaler at last year’s semi final which was also held in Shinjuku FACE. Harajuku really wanted to win this year but she thinks her bond with Max has deepened even further and they have become more super best friends than ever! Although she would like it if Max would stop throwing her.
Is history repeating itself with Mizuki? She was once thrown into a tag team with Yuka Sakazaki for a tournament and they ended up winning it to start a long road of dominating Tokyo Joshi Pro’s tag team division. Are we starting to see the same thing with Mizuki & Uta Takami because they just beat Daisy Monkey to reach the Max Heart final! Suzume & Arisu Endo had things going well for them until Mizuki found a way to use Endo as a launchpad to Double Stomp Suzuki between the ropes in the corner. Takami came in with the assist to help Mizuki use the Cutie Special on Endo twice for the finish. Daisy Monkey took it as a lesson that they still have room to improve. It excites them to learn that there are even stronger teams out there. Mizuki admits she is surprised with her team’s success and credits Takami’s hard work for pulling her along. She thinks they are like opposites which is why they haven’t even come up with a team name yet. Takami thinks they both have the same heart though and that is what has made them a strong pair so far.
The final is now set for 14th February in Korakuen Hall. The two teams spoke to each other face to face in the ring at the end of the show. Kamifuku expected Mizuki to make it this far and she is happy to face her in Korakuen again because Mizuki was part of Kamifuku’s debut match that was held in the same venue. Uehara is even getting a little annoyed at how cool headed both Mizuki & Takami are this late into the tournament. Takami said her team has been working so hard that she can see a future where they can win the final. Mizuki agreed that it is not some miracle that brought them this far and if they can beat Ober Eats in the final she is sure they can win the Princess Tag Titles from them too! Kamifuku closed out the show talking about how she prefers not to show her emotions but the final will be an emotional experience that you won’t find with AI.
MIRAI and Toga met twice in the ring today, once for a contract signing and then later again for a tag match. Toga explained she made the challenge for the International Princess Title to show her growth as a singles wrestler. She’s been studying MIRAI and expects that MIRAI has been studying her too. Even so, she warns that MIRAI is going to see a side of Toga she hasn’t seen before. MIRAI introduced herself as the embodiment of Michinoku Pro’s mutsu spirit. She admitted she has been watching Toga’s matches on Wrestle Universe and is impressed with how cool she is. She has noticed how explosive Toga’s signature moves are and she can turn the tables with just one hit. However MIRAI is confident she can win and go on to defend the IP Title at Sumo Hall. She then apologised to Tetsuya Koda for putting the idea out there without asking him first. MIRAI would then go on to win a tag match with Sara Phoenix against Toga & Chika Nanase. She said Toga’s strikes were as painful as she expected but it was herself who had the most energy today to win. Toga said she saw firsthand just how calculated MIRAI’s moves are while wrestling her so she now needs to figure that out herself.
It was time for a meeting between the ToJo Tokusatsu Club. Not only did Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro enter the ring armed with a D-Sword Vega and some SP Licences, they also tried to form themselves into one large mecha with Nakajima on top of Aino and Kazashiro having to carry everything as the base. She couldn’t do it so Mifu Ashida got Yuki Arai & Kira Summer to all cheer together for her. Kazashiro went through with trying and naturally everyone all collapsed. The Tokusatsu Club recovered to win the match and start thinking of a new goal together. They all want to liven up “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” in their own way this March and show children that pro wrestling can make dreams come true. So they want to invite some Super Sentai heroes to Sumo Hall where they can all fight together!
The last time Hyper Misao and Shino Suzuki had a match against each other, Misao came up with rules that were built around a trivia quiz so she could cheer herself up at the time. She reflected back on that match today and admitted she was immature back then. In other to self-reflect before her big tag match at Sumo Hall this March, Misao wanted to come up with rules based on something Suzuki likes. Misao knows that Suzuki is good at double jumps so she brought along a jump rope and suggested one of them would need to do 10 double jumps every time there is a kickout. Suzuki wouldn’t agree and demanded the rule be she only needs to pin Misao for a Two Count in order to win while Misao still needs to get a 3 Count. Both rules were agreed to and the nearfalls got to the point where both of them had to do double jumps at the same time to continue the match until Misao pinned Suzuki with La Magistral Cradle.
It was announced that Mifu Ashida, Miyu Yamashita and Suzume will all have homecoming shows taking place later this year. Ashida’s show will be held in Fukuchiyama on 4th April, Yamashita’s show in Fukuoka is scheduled for 5th April and Suzume’s show in Tsukuba is set for 6th May.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 6TH “FUTARI WA PRINCESS” MAX HEART TOURNAMENT”, 25/01/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
347 Fans – Super No Vacancy
1. Kira Summer & Chika Nanase defeated Toga & Shion Kanzaki when Nanase submitted Kanzaki with the Inari Torii Aratame (9:58).
2. Hyper Misao, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki defeated Mahiro Kiryu, Raku & Ren Konatsu when Misao pinned Konatsu with the Hypami Returns (10:47).
3. Shoko Nakajima defeated Sara Phoenix with the Northern Lights Suplex (8:45).
4. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Mizuki & Uta Takami defeated Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro when Takami pinned Kazashiro after the Foot Stomp from Mizuki (13:46).
5. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami when Endo pinned Toribami with the Ju no Okite (12:20).
6. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku defeated Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi when Max pinned Tatsumi with the Reverse Splash (15:20).
7. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida when Uehara submitted Ashida with the Banana Pillow (12:05).
With Round 2 out of the way now every team in this year’s Max Heart Tournament have had a match. Ober Eats are currently the team to be since they are the reigning Princess Tag Team Champions. They also knocked out the team featuring one half of the upcoming Sumo Hall main event. Kyoto Tag had their moment of taunting Wakana Uehara with some cheerleading but Yuki Kamifuku and her Big Boots were there to keep things in favour of the champions. While Yuki Arai was able to get rid of her with a Brainbuster, Mifu Ashida wasn’t able to capitalise. Instead Uehara trapped her in the Banana Pillow to get the win and advance Ober Eats into the semi finals. Uehara really wants to win the Max Heart trophies and she’s noticing that Kamifuku is becoming hungry for success too even though she’s not showing it. Ashida said if Kyoto Tag would have won today, they would have revealed their official tag team name. Unfortunately it’s going to be kept secret for a while longer. Ashida even thought up lyrics for a new entrance song. The only line she would reveal is “I love you, Arai♪ Let’s try harder♪” and it took up a lot of her brain power to come up with it.
The other half of the Sumo Hall main event was also knocked out of the tournament today despite her best efforts with her tag partner. Daydream walked out armed with their sasumata poles in an attempt to trap Pompaler with them. The poles worked on Pom Harajuku but Max The Impaler was able to power their way out of the trap. Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi did what they could to slow Max down, even by using Harajuku as a weapon against them. But Max did the same to Daydream before pinning Tatsumi with the Reverse Splash for the victory. Daydream are both relieved they are still alive after the match but are disappointed to be knocked out so early. Both of them want to achieve a lot together this year whether if it is Daydream winning Best Tag Team Awards or Tatsumi becoming the Dragon God of everything. Pompaler now face Ober Eats in the semi final and the champions are not looking forward to that.
Only one team of former winners remain in the final four and that’s Daisy Monkey. They had to go through the kick heavy team of K!SS// to get here. Arisu Endo was able to block Kaya Toribami from going for the Sento Choryu while Suzume took out Miyu Yamashita with the Ring A Bell. Toribami tried to kick her way out of trouble but Endo stunned her with a Super Kick before getting the win using her Ju no Okite finisher. Daisy Monkey are feeling confident together now they are reunited and they really want to win this tournament again. They also now wonder if they can challenge K!SS// for the IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles? Would they have to go to Thailand to make it happen? K!SS// already have a title defence lined up over there happening next month though.
In something of an upset, the makeshift team of Mizuki & Uta Takami have eliminated Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed in the 2nd Round! Mizuki’s craftiness won out in the end when she saw an opening to do a Double Stomp onto Haru Kazashiro while she was trying to bridge a pin on top of Takami. Kazashiro didn’t notice that Takami rolled out of the way and definitely didn’t expect Mizuki to come in and stomp her flat. Takami immediately jumped on top for the pin and got the three count. Yuki Aino apologised for not being there to stop the pin but Kazashiro told her neither of them are to blame for losing. Mizuki said that since the team has made it this far, they should make a miracle happen and go even further. They have to beat Daisy Monkey in the semi final if they want to make that miracle a reality.
Super Sasadango Machine was in attendance for the show to help promote “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” happening at Sumo Hall on 29th March. He is the PR Ambassador for the show but wants everybody in Tokyo Joshi Pro to do their part in promoting the big event. That includes Tetsuya Koda who received a big request from Sasadango. Koda was told to go find an important special guest from outside of wrestling to come to the show and have a debut match! The guest needs to be such a big name that her appearance by itself can fill up Sumo Hall. Koda agreed to take the request and will find someone famous to compete in their pro wrestling debut.
Sasadango was brought back out later in the show because he was part of another important announcement. Hyper Misao declared that she is going to take on Yuka Sakazaki & Konosuke Takeshita at “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” and Sasadango will be her tag team partner! Sasadango was confused because he thought the newly married couple of Shingo Takagi & Natsupoi were going to be the mystery team facing Sakazaki & Takeshita. Misao told him to shut up and explained the better opponents for them would be the most incomprehensible tag team the wrestling world can come up with, which is Misao & Sasadango. Misao also wanted to fire up Sasadango because his efforts to promote “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” lately haven’t been up to his usual standards. Even if Sasadango’s appearance on the show only sells one ticket, how can he expect to sell out Sumo Hall if he can’t even take care of the one precious fan who bought that ticket? She also explained that the PR in TJPW PR Ambassador means Pro Wrestling Ring, not Public Relations. That means Sasadango has no choice but to accept this match! Misao also has another goal she wants to achieve out of this. She wants to beat Sakazaki & Takeshita so she can earn four contracts across DDT, TJPW, AEW and New Japan all at the same time! Sasadango is thinking even bigger and wants to get contracts with every wrestling company out there.

7. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Universal Title – Irregular 3 Way Match: Yuki Ueno (c/c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Chris Brookes
7a. DDT Universal Title: Daisuke Sasaki defeated Yuki Ueno (c) and Chris Brookes when Sasaki submitted Brookes with the Crossface Lock (16:14).
*Yuki Ueno fails in V2. Daisuke Sasaki becomes the 20th DDT Universal Champion!
7b. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) defeated Daisuke Sasaki and Chris Brookes when Ueno pinned Sasaki with the WR (10:05).
*V5 for Yuki Ueno.
Double the danger, double the fun. Yuki Ueno had two potential challengers gunning him down for his championships so he decided to put the DDT Universal Title and the KO-D Openweight Title on the line one at a time in an unusual main event. It was a 3 Way Match consisting of two falls. The first had Ueno defending the Universal Title. Daisuke Sasaki wanted to form an alliance with Chris Brookes but it was short lived. Ueno was still at a disadvantage because his injured left leg was targeted by both challengers. Sasaki also had DAMNATION T.A in his corner and despite the other’s attempts to wipe them all out, they became a key factor for how the first fall ended. Sasaki got Brookes trapped in the Crossface Lock and DAMNATION T.A all grabbed onto Ueno to stop him from breaking the hold. Brookes had no choice but to tap out and Sasaki became the new Universal Champion!
Sasaki wasted no time when the second fall began and the KO-D Title became up for grabs. He immediately Speared Ueno through the ropes to the floor then returned to the ring to put Brookes back into the Crossface Lock. Brookes was able to escape and wound up double teaming Ueno with Sasaki by giving the KO-D Champ the Doomsday Device/Double Impact. Ueno got Brookes into the Blackout Sleeper but Ilusion distracted the ref so Sasaki could break the hold with a chair. Ueno got his own back when he turned Sasaki’s standing Crossface attempt on Brookes into the WR that flipped over both men. Ueno’s leg injury almost cost him the KO-D Title because he slipped while climbing the top turnbuckle. Brookes tried to pin Sasaki but both then got squashed by a Frog Splash from Ueno. Brookes was thrown out of the ring and Ueno had no one to stop him from pinning Sasaki with the WR to win the fall and remain KO-D Champion.
Ueno placed the Universal Title in front of Sasaki after the match and admitted he was disappointed overall because he lost one of his championships. He is now even more determined to keep defending the KO-D Title to make up for it. His next defence will be at DDT’s 29th Anniversary show on 22nd March. KIMIHIRO walked out to interrupt Ueno but it was just so he could introduce the man who wants to take DDT’s top spot, KANON! After he entered the ring, KANON explained he’s been with DDT for four years now and every day his love for the company grows. He understands Ueno is feeling a little heartbroken at the moment but he wants to be his next challenger. Ueno accepted the challenge because KANON still sees him as the pinnacle of DDT. However Ueno still remembers everything KANON did to him when he was a member of DAMNATION T.A so he expects KANON to bring everything he’s learned over the last four years into the match. They shook hands until KANON suddenly Clotheslined Ueno! His final message today is he is just that little bit stronger than Ueno. Backstage KANON explained to reporters that the first opponent to beat him after he joined DDT was Ueno so this challenge is going to be his revenge for what happened four years ago!
The show turned out to be a significant one for Strange Love Connection as a whole. They were able to defend the KO-D Tag Team Titles against The Apex and then absorbed the team into their group! Yuki Iino’s recent obsession over MAO couldn’t give him the extra edge in the end. He was able to Spear MAO after seeing Yukio Naya take the Michinoku Driver II but KANON knocked him down with a Lariat and then pinned him with the GURU-GURU Driver. KIMIHIRO and Yuzuki Hoshimoto were both there to congratulate the champs for a job well done after the match.
After the match, KANON told everyone that both teams have been acting like idiots for the last month in order to try and out-do each other. What he learned from this is that idiots are strong people and for that The Apex have earned his respect. Iino called that the ultimate compliment and even though he lost the match, he has now grown to love MAO & KANON! He then asked Naya if they could join SLC? MAO instantly agreed and started to wonder if Iino & Naya should now be called The Apex from STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION (just like THE RAMPAGE from EXILE TRIBE)? Even if they just remain as The Apex, SLC has now upgraded into becoming a unit and they now all want it to become the strongest not only in DDT but the entire pro wrestling world! That’s not all, MAO revealed backstage that he was already planning on introducing a new SLC member next month. He didn’t expect to add two new members today but now SLC is going to become a 5-Man unit! The fifth man will be revealed on 22nd February.
Plans had to change when Kaisei Takechi got a case of pink eye and was unable to wrestle on this show. His role in the big tag match now had to be filled by To-y. He took on the challenge with gusto, bringing the fight to both Konosuke Takeshita & Jun Akiyama while having HARASHIMA help out as his tag partner. Takeshita & Akiyama didn’t shy away from giving him a bashing but that led to To-y finding his inner fire and fighting back, scoring a nearfall on Takeshita with the Kojima Impact. Takeshita put a stop to that with the Last Ride counter of the Kojima In Wonderland followed by a Double Knee Strike with Akiyama. To-y kicked out of that along with the big Elbow Strike afterwards so Takeshita had to hit him with the Wagamama to put To-y away. Later To-y said he wants to keep on fighting even if he may never get another chance to face Takeshita again. But if it does happen he knows he can beat him! Takeshita told him that meeting Akiyama played a role in his current success and he wouldn’t be where he is today without him. So he understands how important it was for To-y to fight him today. He believes To-y will one day inherit his strength just like how he inherited Akiyama’s.
I regret to inform everyone that the “Suzuki Incident” of 2021 was repeated today. While Minoru Suzuki was making his entrance for his match, Danshoku Dieno and Kazuki Hirata jumped the gun and began to wrestle. Dieno then immediately pinned Hirata with the Gaydo Clutch to end the match before Suzuki could even make it to the ring apron. Hisaya Imabayashi was understandably mad because the fans couldn’t sing along to “Kaze Ni Nare”. Suzuki was also annoyed because his entrance was going to take up 80% of the match anyway. The match restarted so Suzuki could do his entrance but this time Super Sasadango Machine tried to jump him. Suzuki immediately pulled him into an Arm Lock to make Sasadango tap out. Now Imabayashi was upset the match ended before Yoshihiko could make it to the ring. He even dared to get into an argument with Suzuki over it without backing down! Another restart took place so Yoshihiko could make an entrance and it even stopped Suzuki from immediately beating Antonio Honda. The match then continued with Dieno and Honda’s usual comedy until Yoshihiko pinned Hirata with the Reincarnation. Suzuki then dragged Yoshihiko along the floor as he left ringside. He remembers beating this thing half to death in Las Vegas almost a year ago. Dieno explained that Suzuki and Yoshihiko are linked together because they understand each other so well. Suzuki doesn’t believe him.
Meanwhile Imabayashi wanted Hirata to stay behind in the ring because he had an announcement to make. Hirata is going to have a singles match with Takeshita on 22nd March! Hirata was not happy with the announcement but talked himself into taking the match. If Takeshita the worldwide star wants to wrestle him then Hirata from Adachi Ward will be ready! He is sure Takeshita will beat him many times over but he promises he will make it hard for Takeshita to do so.
Although Kumadori has settled his feud with Ilusion, he is back in DDT to wrestle DAMNATION T.A some more. Ilusion was still there to give Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul a helping hand. Okatani also attacked Naomi Yoshimura with his bamboo stick until Kumadori came to save the day. With the coast clear, Yoshimura recovered to throw Paul over with the Harai-goshi to put the cheaters back in their place.
To-y being bumped up to the Special Tag Match meant the 10-Man tag was slightly changed. Ryoma Tsukamoto took his place to keep it within the D GENERATIONS scope. The match also featured Irish referee Niall Fox as the official for the match. What’s he doing over there? Anyway the match had NωA Jr. members Kazuma Sumi and Yuni face off against each other, Yuki Ishida pushing others around with his sumo moves, Rukiya trying to give Ilusion the Protobomb, Ilusion attacking Hinata Kasai with a chair and Yuya Koroku then knocking out Ilusion with an Elbow Strike. The match came down to Takeshi Masada and Daichi Sato where Sato caught Masada with the Fire Thunder and then pin him out of nowhere with a Penalty Kick. Backstage Tsukamoto predicted Sato will go on to win the D GENERATIONS CUP completely undefeated.
Not only did Junta Miyawaki got to wrestle his idol Shinya Aoki but he went the distance against him too. They fought to a 15 minute draw in the opening match that was built around joint locks and pinning attempts. After a few close calls, Miyawaki hit a dive out of the ring and got to counter a Sleeper Hold into a Modified Sunshine Driver. Aoki turned the pinfall over though to continue the back and forth action until he was put in a Crab Hold and had to fight to reach the ropes. The two then fought over the Aoki Clutch for the final moments of the match before the bell rang. Miyawaki said he was able to absorb a lot from Aoki today and he still looks up to him despite slapping away Aoki’s handshake in frustration after the match. Aoki praised him for having incredible spirit and determination. He wonders why wrestlers as good as they are were put in the opener? They need to aim higher because he thinks they’re not the kind of wrestlers to be curtain jerking.
