Tokyo Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX
284 Fans – No Vacancy

2. Miyu Yamashita & Yoshiko Hasegawa defeated Yuki Arai & Shino Suzuki when Hasegawa submitted Suzuki with the Muffler Hold (8:28).
3. Jada Stone & Kaya Toribami defeated Mizuki & HIMAWARI when Stone pinned HIMAWARI with the Spark Stunner (11:01).
4. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Haru Kazashiro & Toga defeated Ivy Steele & Kira Summer when Kazashiro pinned Summer with the Fisherman Suplex (9:02).
5. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Mifu Ashida & Chika Nanase when Misao submitted Nanase with the Chickenwing Face Lock (11:25).
6. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku defeated Miu Watanabe & Uta Takami when Max pinned Takami with the Piledriver (9:17).
7. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Suzume & Arisu Endo when Uehara submitted Endo with the Banana Pillow (11:48).
In a shocking start to the Max Heart Tournament, last year’s winners Daisy Monkey are out in the 1st Round! Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara sounds like a makeshift team on the surface but it’s a pairing Uehara has wanted after fighting Kamifuku in America last year. Her idea is already paying off with an upset win over one of the tournament favorites. Kamifuku dealt with Suzume by giving her a Big Boot while Uehara trapped Arisu Endo in the Banana Pillow until Endo tapped out. Kamifuku always heard the women from Ebina, Kanagawa were strong and stubborn. Today she saw it with her own eyes from Uehara’s performance. Uehara thought they were unlucky to draw last year’s winners but she’s really happy her team was able to win. Kamifuku is confident they will make it past the 2nd round tomorrow because their opponents Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko are both weaklings.
Well, Max The Impaler killed a teenager. Or at the very least cut down her height by a few centimetres. Uta Takami was scared to fight them but pulled up the courage to do so. As much as Miu Watanabe encouraged her to fight Max head on she eventually saw sense to join in and help her out. Max meanwhile continued to use Pom Harajuku as a projectile against the other team. They took out Watanabe with the Wasteland War Justice and Max then pinned Takami with a Piledriver. They then took one of Takami’s hair accessories as a trophy for their victory. Watanabe blamed Sayrui Namba for putting this match together with her lottery draw. She also said one day Takami will become bigger and more powerful than Max so she should do her best to get there. Tomorrow Pompaler will face Yuki Aino & Raku which means Max is going to be thrown into the Love Triangle.
As the only remaining team left to have competed in every Max Heart Tournament, Kyoraku Kyomei began their match telling everyone that means they have suffered more in the competition than anyone else. They will not drop their guard down or take any opponent lightly. However Hyper Misao thinks the key for them to finally win the tournament is to give up something important to her. She handed her spray can to Daisuke Kiso and promised not to use it so she can win fair and square. Kyoraku Kyomei lived up to their word by beating Mifu Ashida & Chika Nanase clean. Shoko Nakajima held Ashida in the Unmanned Local Train Hold while Misao made Nanase submit to her Chickenwing Face Lock. Tomorrow they will take on Yoshiko Hasegawa & Kaya Toribami to continue their long quest to finally end this struggle. Ashida meanwhile said the match felt like she was baptised by Tokyo Joshi Pro. She’s still a rookie but thinks she has the guts and competitive spirit to match those two veterans.
The opening match of the tournament pitted the two finalists from last year’s Next Generation Tournament against an alliance between British and Austalian wrestlers. Haru Kazashiro & Toga showed how well they had become as a team by swapping wristbands with each other. They were also able to outmanoeuvre Ivy Steele & Kira Summer with their tactics, ending with Kazashiro beating Summer with the Fisherman Suplex. Next up for the pair is HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki in the 2nd Round tomorrow. Toga remembers she beat HIMAWARI in the Next Gen Tournament but also lost to Suzuki at the end of last year. She’s confident her team has an 80% chance of winning. Kazashiro wants to show her next opponents just how strong she has gotten lately. Summer is disappointed she won’t be getting to team more with Steele in the tournament. Steele described getting hit by Toga’s Elbow Smash was like getting hit with a bat.
It was confirmed during the show opening introductions that the winners of the Max Heart Tournament will receive a Princess Tag Team Titles shot at “GRAND PRINCESS ’25” on 16th March. It will be the next Tag Title bout after the 121000000 Vs Pandora & Sara Phoenix match happening in Chile on 9th February.

The schedule for this year’s D GENERATIONS CUP has been released. Not only that but the date for the winner’s prize is now known too. The tournament champion will get a KO-D Openweight Title match in April!
Every block match has a 15 minute time limit. The final will have no time limit. Wins are worth 2 points, losses are worth 0 points and most kind of draws are worth 1 point. Any match that ends in a Double Countout or a No Contest will result in both wrestlers getting 0 points. Head-to-head results will be used as a tiebreaker but if that does not work then a sudden death playoff will go ahead.

This weekend is the beginning of Tokyo Joshi Pro’s annual Max Heart Tournament. Just like last year the reigning Princess Tag Team Champions are not taking part. Maki Itoh is off touring with GCW again but Miyu Yamashita should be around for non-tournament matches. Mizuki has decided not to participate in this year’s event because she wants to focus on her Princess Of Princess Title reign. In a similar vein Rika Tatsumi will not enter the tournament either because she wants to prepare for her Princess Title shot against Mizuki set for March. That means when this tournament begins Kyoraku Kyomei will become the only team that has entered together for every year. Will this finally be the year they win it?
– Kyoraku Kyomei (Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao)
– Daisy Monkey (Suzume & Arisu Endo)
– Pompaler (Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku)
– Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara
– Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko
– Haru Kazashiro & Toga
– Yuki Aino & Raku
– Miu Watanabe & Uta Takami

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR 2024 AUTUMN”, 22/11/2024
Shinjuku FACE
429 Fans – Super No Vacancy
1. HIMAWARI, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami defeated Wakana Uehara, Kira Shummer & Chika Nanase when HIMAWARI submitted Nanase with the Half Crab Hold (8:56).
2. 3 Way Match: Pom Harajuku defeated Haruna Neko and Mahiro Kiryu when Harajuku pinned Neko and Kiryu with a Double Body Press (5:42).
3. Zara Zakher & Yuki Aino defeated Mizuki & Kaya Toribami when Zakher pinned Toribami with the Control Z (9:34).
4. Miu Watanabe, Raku, Suzume & Moka Miyamoto defeated Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh, Yuki Kamifuku & Yoshiko Hasegawa when Suzume pinned Hasegawa with the Ring A Bell (11:10).
5. Rika Tatsumi & Arisu Endo defeated Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao when Tatsumi submitted Misao with the White Dragon Sleeper (15:34).
6. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Final: Haru Kazashiro defeated Toga with the Fisherman Suplex (8:49).
7. International Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) defeated Shazza McKenzie with the Finally (11:01).
*V6 for Yuki Arai.
That’s successful defence number six for Yuki Arai. The closest Shazza McKenzie could get to beating her was with a Fisherman Suplex that Arai kicked out of. Arai took control from there and used the Full Nelson Buster to set up the match winning Finally. Arai used broken English to tell McKenzie she would like another match with her. But for now she needs a new challenger to continue her record breaking International Princess Title reign. Suzume answered the call and said she wants a match with the dazzling champion. Arai got excited because she hasn’t defended the belt against Suzume yet so she suggested they can have the match at Korakuen Hall on 4th January. That means it will happen exactly one year after she became champion in the same venue! Suzume later explained that pro wrestling is a universal language. For example she doesn’t speak English at all but was still able to wrestle in Seattle recently. If Tokyo Joshi Pro can reach out across the world then she wants to do that as the IP Champion.
The youngest entrant in this year’s New Generation Tournament has won the whole thing! Haru Kazashiro pulled off the upset in the final by defeating Toga. She had Toga scouted by using an Armbar to counter the Rock Bottom. Toga hit back with the Rolling Thunder but Kazashiro was determined not to lose. Both tried to use their finishers to no avail but Kazashiro broke the deadlock by hitting a Low Cross Body. From there she was able to pin Toga with the Fisherman Suplex and win the tournament!
After receiving her winner’s medal, Kazashiro was ready to pick her title shot of choice for being the tournament champion. She always admired Maki Itoh and wants nothing more than to challenge her for a belt so she asked Toga if they can team up to fight 121000000 for the Princess Tag Team Titles! Toga accepted the offer and shook her hand. 121000000 then entered the ring to endorse the challenge. Itoh warned Kazashiro not to fight her as a fan but to beat her as a rival. Hazashiro promised she will crush her! Toga then revealed if she had won the tournament she would have wanted to go after Miyu Yamashita’s championship so she is getting what she wants anyway. Yamashita said she likes the look in Toga’s eyes and decided they should have the title match on 1st December.
For the first time in seven months Hyper Misao was here to protect TJPW for all of the big children who follow it. Before her comeback match began she told the fans how difficult it was to return. She not only had a broken ankle but also a broken heart from having to stay away from the ring for so long. But she kept an eye on TJPW from a distance and what she saw made her want to come back no matter what. She was really happy to be in the ring with Shoko Nakajima and Rika Tatsumi again (and Arisu Endo is there too) so she thought the best way to begin with a fresh start was to shake her opponents’ hands fair and square. Of course that turned out to be a trick so Kyoraku Kyomei could get the jump on Tatsumi & Endo. However Tatsumi was able to get Misao in the White Dragon Sleeper at the end to make her give up. Misao is not going to be pessimistic about her comeback ending in a loss though. She is looking forward to fighting and winning again. Nakajima didn’t mind losing either because whenever Ultraman Leo is defeated, he trains like crazy to get stronger and returns to beat the enemy! She wants to win the Tag Titles so the team will improve to become Super Hyper Kyoraku Kyomei! Meanwhile Tatsumi & Endo are wondering when Misao will produce another “HYPE!” show?
Pom Harajuku had special celebratory sashes made for herself and Haruna Neko to celebrate the 6th anniversary of their wrestling debuts. She also took advantage of Mahiro Kiryu giving Neko the Spinebuster by hooking both of their legs and pinning them for a double three count victory.
TJPW’s three annual big arena shows will all take place at the renovated Ota Ward Gymnasium in 2025. “GRAND PRINCESS ’25” will be on 16th March, “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25” will be on 21st July and “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI” will be on 20th September.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE MOUNTAIN TOP 2024”, 16/11/2024
Osaka Edion Arena #2
384 Fans
1. Yoshiko Hasegawa defeated Chika Nanase with the Muffler Hold (6:46).
2. 3 Way Match: Shoko Nakajima defeated Haruna Neko and Kaya Toribami when Nakajima pinned Neko with the Northern Lights Suplex (6:33).
3. Maki Itoh, Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku when Itoh submitted Harajuku with the Itoh Deluxe (10:16).
4. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Semi Final: Toga defeated Kira Summer with the Rock Bottom (7:24).
5. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Semi Final: Haru Kazashiro defeated Wakana Uehara with the Fisherman Suplex (8:58).
6. Shazza McKenzie & Moka Miyamoto defeated Rika Tatsumi & HIMAWARI when McKenzie pinned HIMAWARI with the Shaztastic Stunner (10:02).
7. Yuki Arai, Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Mizuki, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami when Arai submitted Suzuki with the Sasori Katame (13:51).
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) defeated Zara Zakher with the Tear Drop (15:38).
*V5 for Miu Watanabe.
After losing to Zara Zakher twice this year, Miu Watanabe finally got to get a win back and under important circumstances. With this fifth successful Princess Of Princess Title defence, Watanabe now has the second most defences in a single reign behind Miyu Yamashita’s 10 win streak from 2018/2019. Zakher relied on the same game plan she used to beat Watanabe previously, using a backflip to avoid the champ’s attack and countering with the RKO. However this time Watanabe was able to block the Control Z, use a Double Hammer strike to fend off Zakher’s Lariats and countered a Jumping Knee Strike with a Power Slam. With Zakher’s offence nullified, Watanabe used the Laser Beam followed by the Tear Drop to win the match.
Watanabe told the fans how happy she was to defend the title in Osaka. She called Zakher a scary opponent for beating her twice before but it was also really fun to wrestle somebody as talented as her. Backstage she said she wants to get closer to Yamashita’s record for most title defences. She was asked by the interviewer if she has any thoughts about the 4th January Korakuen Hall show. Watanabe hasn’t thought about it yet because she was so focused on today. She is aware that anyone could come out to challenge her for the title on that show. Whoever it will be, she won’t turn them down. Zakher thought the atmosphere wrestling in Osaka was great and different from Tokyo. She promised to get more experience and come back to Tokyo Joshi Pro with the goal of winning one of the championships. Any of them will make her happy because she wants to win gold.
We’re not getting a two-time winner for the Next Generation Tournament because Wakana Uehara is out after the semi-finals! Haru Kazashiro scored the upset of the tournament by fighting out of the Banana Pillow submission and using the Fisherman Suplex to pin Uehara. Kazashiro admits she was worried because Uehara is the strongest of the 23 year old wrestlers in TJPW and Kazashiro is not very good at believing in herself. When she did win the match her head was feeling all over the place and took a moment before she realised the crowd were cheering for her victory. Uehara is upset she couldn’t make it to the final on 22nd November especially since she knows some of her fans already bought tickets to the show expecting to see her in that match.
Toga will be meeting Kazashiro in the final after she defeated Kira Summer. The combination of the Rolling Thunder and Rock Bottom gave Toga the victory. She feels vindicated because last year she was eliminated in the semi-finals in the same venue. She thought she would face Uehara in the final so it would be her chance to avenge last year’s defeat. However she didn’t expect to see Kazashiro beat Wakana. Toga is still motivated none the less. Shinjuku FACE is where her debut match was so she is excited to have the final be held there. Summer feel frustrated because everything she has done up to now was for this tournament but the difference in experience between her and her seniors is still wide. She knows she will get there eventually, she just doesn’t have the experience yet.
The Up Up Girls performed their brand new song “SEED” at the start of the show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “MAHIRO KIRYU TRIUMPHANT RETURN ~TOKYO JOSHI SHINOYABO~”, 03/11/2024
Gunma G-Messe Main Hall C (Takasaki City)
262 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House
1. Yoshiko Hasegawa defeated Uta Takami with the Muffler Hold (7:14).
2. Kaya Toribami & Toga defeated Suzume & Haruna Neko when Toribami pinned Neko with the Sento Choryu (8:47).
3. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Pom Harajuku and Arisu Endo when Tatsumi pinned Harajuku with the Sliding Hip (8:04).
4. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Round 1: Wakana Uehara defeated Chika Nanase with the Banana Pillow (8:23).
5. Maki Itoh & Kira Summer defeated Shoko Nakajima & HIMAWARI when Itoh submitted HIMAWARI with the Itoh Deluxe (11:07).
6. Mizuki, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated Miu Watanabe, Raku & Shino Suzuki when Mizuki pinned Suzuki with the Cutie Special (12:09).
7. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Miyu Yamashita & Moka Miyamoto when Kiryu pinned Miyamoto with the Spinebuster (12:40).
Even in her hometown Mahiro Kiryu cannot help but take responsibility for everything that happens around her. She aplogised early in the match for her part in promoting the show to make Gunma a more appealing place to visit. Yuki Kamifuku then instructed her to bow to all four sides of the room. Kamifuku was also there to even the odds when Kiryu had to fight Miyu Yamashita. Kamifuku poked Yamashita in the eyes and took her out with the Famouser. It was all up to Kiryu from that point on and she was able to beat Moka Miyamoto with the Spinebuster.
Kiryu was happy to see so many people from Gunma come to see the show today because it is her first time wrestling here. When she first started her wrestling career she made so many people worry for her and today she got to prove to them she is doing well. Kamifuku praised her for working so hard and also thinking of ways to repay her hometown. The Toyo Mates then decided to apologize in the ring together to end the show. Kiryu is very sorry about today and she loves Gunma! Backstage Kamifuku said when she saw Kiryu from a distance today she looked like Shohei Ohtani. She likes to think Kiryu is a two-way player too by being a kind person as well as a pro wrestler, so she might start calling her “Shohei From Gunma” from now on.
Things are currently on track for Wakana Uehara to become a repeat winner of the Next Generation Tournament. She had to fight off Chika Nanase from using the Inari Torii to spin her into the Banana Pillow for the win. She’ll be facing Haru Kazashiro in the semi-finals and does not know what to expect in their first singles match against each other. One thing’s for sure is she thinks she definitely won’t lose. Nanase was disappointed because she thought she gave it her all but it wasn’t good enough. She’ll have to start from scratch so when she does her best the next time, she will win.

After the main event Miu Watanabe threw her support behind Wakana Uehara for the Next Generation Tournament. She’ll be cheering her on and encouraged Wakana to talk about it because she loves her enthusiasm. Uehara said she will definitely win the tournament for the second year in a row.
Today is the last time we’ll see Runa Okubo in a wrestling ring, at least for now. She is going on an indefinite hiatus to focus on her high school education so for her final match she got to face the person she most admires on the roster, Yuki Kamifuku. For the occasion Kamifuku used the Famouser twice to win the match before hugging Okubo afterwards. Okubo thanked everyone for taking care of her for the last year and seven months. Thnaks to pro wrestling she was able to meet so many wonderful people and she will love them always. Backstage Kamifuku said Okubo is at a sensitive point in her life because of her age and she wants her to live her life well. It’ll up to “that brat” Okubo to make the most of it. Okubo said she is sorry for her fans and her parents that she hasn’t shown her true potential yet. She wants to work hard and not make excuses.
The other two teenage girls on the roster faced each other in the Next Generation Tournament. Haru Kazashiro got the win over Uta Takami by hitting the Low Cross Body followed by the Fisherman Suplex. Kazashiro is said that Okubo is going away but knows it isn’t a goodbye so she wanted to show her how much she has grown. She is also glad to see how much Takami is having fun with wrestling every time they meet in the ring. Kazashiro wanted to win the match today not to crush Takami’s potential but to expand it even more. Takami admitted she went into the match with fake confidence to convince herself that she would win. She realised during the match that it was a bad idea because whenever she senses genuine intensity it feels different.
Haruna Neko is finally back after spending so long recovering from a torn ACL and torn meniscus in her left knee. The Love Triangle celebrated her return by all wearing cat ears before the match began. The ring rust still needs to be shaken off because Neko dropped the fall in her first match back, losing when Yuki Aino dodged the Nekodebreaker and pinned her with the Venus DDT. Aino had kind words to say about Neko’s return and believe she found a way to still get stronger during her recovery. Also according to Nao Kakuta online she was at the show today to see Neko’s return match.
The teams for the Rakuhan Vs Pom-chan Army team challenged on 10th November were picked before today’s show began. The Rakuhan consists of captain Raku, HIMAWARI, Ryo Mizunami, Ram Kaichow, Haru Kazashiro, Yuki Arai, Shino Suzuki and Chika Nanase. The Pom-chan Army is captain Pom Harajuku, Kaya Toribami, Mahiro Kiryu, Yoshiko Hasegawa, Uta Takami, Haruna Neko, Kira Summer and Toga. The winning team will receive 10kg of broiled eel as their prize because the show is now being sponsored by the Yamada Suisan seafood company.
Hyper Misao announced her return match from injury will take place on 22nd November. She has been out of action since April with a fractured ankle she suffered at the “GCW VS TJPW” show in America.
There will be a weekend of shows in January where TJPW will be at Mizuki and Yuki Aino’s hometowns. Mizuki’s show in Kobe is on 11th January and Aino’s show in Okayama is on the 12th.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR 2024 AUTUMN”, 19/10/2024
Miyagi Yume Messe Miyagi West Building Hall
159 Fans
1. Moka Miyamoto defeated Chika Nanase with the Rashomon (6:44).
2. 3 Way Match: Mahiro Kiryu defeated Kaya Toribami and Haru Kazashiro when Kiryu pinned Kazashiro with the Spinebuster (8:01).
3. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Round 1: Kira Summer defeated Shino Suzuki with the Samoan Drop (6:14).
4. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Maki Itoh, Toga & Uta Takami when Aino pinned Takami with the Venus DDT (11:32).
5. Mizuki defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa with the Cutie Special (9:54).
6. Rika Tatsumi & Suzume defeated Shoko Nakajima & Wakana Uehara when Suzume pinned Uehara with the Ring A Bell (13:51).
7. Miu Watanabe & Arisu Endo defeated Yuki Kamifuku & HIMAWARI when Watanabe pinned HIMAWARI with the Tear Drop (12:46).
Miu Watanabe celebrated her 25th birthday (it was also Sayuri Namba’s 31st birthday) by picking up the win with Arisu Endo in today’s main event. Since she is another year older she has noticed the wrestlers younger than her are getting stronger so she cannot afford to lose against them. She also enjoyed wrestling in the Sendai region again because it’s been a year since Tokyo Joshi Pro last held a show here. Endo said she wants to conquer Tohoku too!
Match #4 began with all of Love Triangle deciding to fall asleep in the ring instead of shaking their opponents’ hands. Maki Itoh knew what they were up to though and told Toga & Uta Takami to take a nap with her too. Pom Harajuku got up to attack Itoh but was Cradled into a nearfall instead. Itoh was then able to get everyone crowded up in the corner to do the World Cutest Knuckle Punch on Yuki Aino, Raku & Harajuku. Somehow Harajuku got her hands on a Date Masamune helmet and put it on to power herself up.
One of the semi-finals of the Next Generation Tournament is now set. Kira Summer won her opening round match by beating Shino Suzuki. She countered Suzuki’s Sleeper Hold by standing back up to reposition Suzuki into the Samoan Drop for the victory. Summer said it feels like a dream and she will carry Suzuki’s feelings along with her own for the rest of the tournament. She will be facing Toga in the next round. Suzuki is despondent over losing and doesn’t know what to do anymore. She works hard but now she is losing to her juniors. She thought she would start catching up to her peers but now it feels like she can’t even have the chance to do that anymore.
Mahiro Kiryu pretended to be the referee and body checked her two opponents before the 3 Way Match began. She then ordered Kaya Toribami and Haru Kazashiro to fight each other before attempting to roll them up in a bid to quickly win the match. She of course apologised for her behaviour when the plan didn’t work.
