TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW TEXAS STAMPEDE – HOUSTON”, 22/03/2026
POST Houston, Houston, Texas, USA
415 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House
1. Yuki Aino & Vert Vixen defeated Suzume & Shino Suzuki when Aino pinned Suzuki with the Venus DDT (10:26).
2. Sakura Hattori defeated Mifu Ashida with the Shinden Fudo Ryu Majime Ura (7:25).
3. Hyper Misao defeated Raku with the I Am A Hero (8:39).
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Miyu Yamashita & Kaylia Capri when Uehara submitted Capri with the Banana Pillow (12:20).
5. Yuki Arai defeated Pom Harajuku with the Modified Brainbuster (10:04).
6. Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Arisu Endo defeated Shoko Nakajima, Mizuki & Uta Takami when Watanabe pinned Takami with the Tear Drop (16:59).
A successful tour of Texas has now come to an end. Even though the final show was the lowest drawing one of the lot, it was also the only one to sell out. At the end of the show Miu Watanabe told the crowd it was a very happy Texas tour for Tokyo Joshi Pro and they will definitely do it again. Until then, TJPW wants Texas to pay attention to “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” on 29th March. Arisu Endo said the tour was so much fun because she could hear so many people cheering in every arena. Rika Tatsumi said the tour is so exciting that she can’t stop feeling excited.
When wrestlers travel together, it is often inevitable that one will pull a rib on the other that kind of goes out of control. Yuki Arai had no idea what was in store for her when Pom Harajuku wheeled down a gacha machine to the ring during their match. Harajuku revealed she had stolen Arai’s house key and hid it in one of the gacha capsules! Arai had to keep pulling out different capsules to find her key otherwise she wouldn’t be able to go home to Japan. She eventually got it back and pinned Harajuku with the Modified Brainbuster to get some payback.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW TEXAS STAMPEDE – DALLAS”, 21/03/2026
College Park Center, Arlington, Texas, USA
1,481 Fans
1. Shino Suzuki defeated Mifu Ashida with the Modified Cobra Clutch (4:55).
2. Sakura Hattori defeated Uta Takami with the Shinden Fudo Ryu Majime Ura (7:57).
3. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Raku & Pom Harajuku when Endo pinned Harajuku with the Ju no Okite (11:32).
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Yuki Aino & Vert Vixen when Kamifuku pinned Aino with the Diving Famouser (11:55).
5. 3 Way Match: Mizuki defeated Rika Tatsumi and Hyper Misao when Mizuki pinned Misao with the Diving Foot Stomp (13:50).
6. Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Arai defeated Miu Watanabe & Miyu Yamashita when Nakajima pinned Yamashita with the Diving Senton (16:48).
After a couple days off it was onto Show #3 of the Texas Stampede tour. Tokyo Joshi Pro was now visiting Arlington near Dallas and again grew a very strong attendance number. I still have my doubts over how many of these tickets were being comped or heavily discounted but TJPW being able to attract 1,400+ people each time for three seperate shows held in America within a week is an achievement no matter how it was done.
Today’s main event was the last preview match between Miu Watanabe and Yuki Arai before “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” takes place next weekend. However the final moments of the match instead focused on Miyu Yamashita and Shoko Nakajima continuing on from their singles match in Austin a few days ago. Nakajima countered the Attitude Adjustment into a Hurricanrana and then ran over to dive out of the ring onto Watanabe. Back in the ring Arai cut off Watanabe with a Big Boot and hit the Finally kick on her afterward. Nakajima then got to the top rope and hit the Diving Senton onto Yamashita to get the three count. Backstage Nakajima said she got revenge for losing to Yamashita a few days ago and since it was in a tag match, it is double the payback! She’s now ready to go fight with the Super Sentai in Sumo Hall next weekend. Arai would have liked to directly beat Watanabe today but thinks she at least now has momentum after she finally hit the Finally on her rival. Watanabe admitted to feeling humiliated from being hit with that move after being able to avoid it up until now.
A flight delay sadly prevented Jada Stone from making it to the show so her match against Rika Tatsumi was scrapped. Tatsumi was instead added to the Mizuki Vs Hyper Misao bout to make it a 3 Way Match. Misao talked to the fans in English before the match began, telling everyone that Mizuki is a devil and Tatsumi is crazy. She then told fans not to worry about them hearing that because neither of them understand English. During the match Misao would wrap up her opponents together with the detached ring apron and then crash the Hyper Dramatic Dream into them. There was also a castle of chairs built near the entrance for Misao to cycle towards but the bike fell apart before she could get there. She instead charged towards her opponents on foot and ended up being sent crashing into the castle by herself. Chaos continued with Mizuki climbing up the entrance gate to do a Diving Cross Body onto everybody standing on the entrance ramp. Mizuki then brought Misao back to the ring and hit the Diving Foot Stomp on her to win the match.
Raku & Pom Harajuku continued showing off their love for Buc-ee by wearing their one piece outfits of the mascot for their match again. They also wheeled out a gachapon machine to use against Daisy Monkey, first by pushing the machine into them and then by pulling out gacha toys to use as weapons. Daisy Monkey got their own back by stripping the Buc-ee outfits off their opponents and then putting it on themselves. Raku threw the empty gacha balls at Arisu Endo to break up the Camel Clutch she had put Harajuku in. Suzume helped Endo get rid of Raku and Endo went on to pin Harajuku with the Ju no Okite.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW TEXAS STAMPEDE – AUSTIN DAY 2”, 18/03/2026
Palmer Events Center, Austin, Texas, USA
1,561 Fans

2. Sakura Hattori defeated Hyper Misao with a Modified Cradle (9:02).

Day 2 of the Texas Stampede tour was also the last of Tokyo Joshi Pro’s appearances at this year’s SXSW festival in Austin. Just like yesterday they drew a really good turnout although it’s currently not possible to tell how much of the crowd were ticket buyers and how many got comped in through their SXSW passes. Still, everyone working the show gathered together at the end to thank the city of Austin for hosting them over the last two days. After taking a break for a couple of days, TJPW will next move on to Dallas and Houston this weekend for the remaining dates of their tour.
While yesterday’s show had a focus around building towards “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, today’s match lineup was more scattershot. Miu Watanabe & Suzume teamed up in the main event just over two months after they fought each other for the Princess Of Princess Title at the annual 4th January show in Korakuen Hall. Their opponents Mizuki & Uta Takami started off as a makeshift team entering the Max Heart Tournament until they went on a Cinderella run all the way to the final. It was nothing but pride on the line and the two teams still showed out. Mizuki countered the Tear Drop into the Whirling Candy then Takami dazed Watanabe with her speed to get her into the Koala Clutch. Watanabe got a rope break the first time then countered a second Koala Clutch into a Power Slam. Watanabe then used her power to fight off her opponents two against one until Suzume jumped in to give Mizuki the Ring A Bell. Watanabe then finished off Takami with the Tear Drop for the victory.
The two longest active wrestlers in the TJPW roster faced off in the semi-main event. Both Miyu Yamashita and Shoko Nakajima have been with the promotion since pretty much the beginning yet it’s been around two and a half years since they last had a singles match against each other. Neither wanted to lose and pulled out the abilities to kick out of each other’s finishers. Yamashita kicked out of the Northern Lights Suplex while Nakajima was lucky to had been standing on the ring apron when she was hit with the Skull Kick. That meant she had to be dragged away from the ropes giving her enough recovery time to kick out of the pin. However Yamashita caught Nakajima off guard with a Running Knee Strike to the back, leaving her as a sitting duck for the Crash Rabbit Heat. Backstage Yamashita said she doesn’t get to wrestle her contemporaries one on one as often as she used to because the TJPW roster keeps growing with new members. But Nakajima is an opponent who always makes Yamashita feel the need to get even stronger. Nakajima said Yamashita somehow becomes 100 times more motivated whenever she is in America, like the country gives her some sort of skills buff. They’ll be wrestling each other in a tag match on the Houston show so she will aim to get revenge for today’s loss over there.
When Rika Tatsumi found out they were selling popcorn in the venue she couldn’t help but get a bucket for herself. Thankfully some fans standing ahead of her in the queue decided to give her their bucket and she accepted the gift. She then force fed Yuki Aino the popcorn while they wrestled their match.
Both Raku & Pom Harajuku entered the ring for their match wearing Buc-ee one piece outfits. Meanwhile the referee known only to everyone as Mike tried to plug his ears with tissue to block out Harajuku’s screaming. It worked until Harajuku pulled the tissue out of his ears. Ober Eats got fed up with the other team’s antics and stripped them out of the outfits. Wakana Uehara then got the rare boos against her by throwing the costumes out of the ring. Harajuku later brought the costumes back for the hot tag, giving one to Yuki Kamifuku so she could challeng her to a Buc-ee Fight! Kamifuku joined in the fun but ruined it by poking Harajuku in the eyes before pinning her with the Famouser.
The emergence of Sakura Hattori sparked some curiosity in Hyper Misao. Before their match began, Misao avoided shaking Hattori’s hand to get on the microphone. She wanted to ask Hattori two questions. First, is she a ninja? Hattori nodded. Second, is she justice? Hattori wouldn’t answer and also slapped away a handshake so Misao determined she must be evil! Misao attacked her with such heroic actions as spraying her in the face and crashing the Hyper Dramatic Dream into her at ringside. But back in the ring Hattori dodged the Hypami Returns, tripped Misao down and then tangled her up in a llave style cradle to pin her for the three count.
Yuki Arai displayed brand new wrestling gear in the opening match. She rekindled her Kyoto Tag team with Mifu Ashida to take on the makeshift pairing of Arisu Endo & Shino Suzuki. Late in the match Arai put Suzuki in the Scorpion Death Lock but Endo broke it up with a Super Kick. Ashida got Endo with a Hook Kick before throwing her away with a German Suplex. She then helped Arai give Suzuki the Full Nelson Buster. After that, Arai used a new Spinning Brainbuster to win the match.
The show again opened up with a performance by The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) along with the Megami Maids while Sayuri Namba hosted everything.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW TEXAS STAMPEDE – AUSTIN DAY 1”, 17/03/2026
Palmer Events Center, Austin, Texas, USA
1,951 Fans
1. Suzume defeated Uta Takami with the Ring A Bell (6:12).
2. Sakura Hattori defeated Shino Suzuki with the Shinden Fudo Ryu Majime Ura (8:54).
3. Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Hyper Misao & Mifu Ashida when Raku pinned Ashida with the Doctor Yellow (10:25).
4. Miyu Yamashita & Arisu Endo defeated Mizuki & Yuki Aino when Yamashita pinned Aino with the Skull Kick (13:53).
5. Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee defeated Shoko Nakajima & Wakana Uehara when McKay pinned Uehara after the IIdolizer (10:15).
6. Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Yuki Arai when Watanabe pinned Arai with the Tear Drop (15:08).
Last year’s Texas tour was such a smash hit for Tokyo Joshi Pro that they’ve done it again this year, this time on a bigger scale. Four shows are on the bill this time around with the first two taking place in Austin as part of the SXSW festival. The crowd at the show were a mix of ticket buyers and festival attendees which all added up to a total announced attendance of 1,951 fans for the show. How much the split is between ticket buyers and festival passes hasn’t been revealed (and probably won’t be until well after the series has ended) but it is still a great number to start with for the tour.
Day 1 of the tour provided plenty of warm up matches for “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” happening back in Japan at the end of the month. Miu Watanabe and Yuki Arai had another tag team clash against each other. Watanabe had Rika Tatsumi as her partner and the combined strength of Daydream was too much for the Double YUKI pair of Arai & Yuki Kamifuku to handle. Tatsumi’s Hip Attack broke Watanabe free from Arai’s Scorpion Death Lock, then Watanabe went on a roll by Backbreaking Kamifuku out of action before hitting her signature moves on Arai for the victory. Daydream told the fans to come back tomorrow so TJPW can spread their love even further across Texas.
Before Kamifuku went out to wrestle in the main event, she got to watch her Ober Eats tag partner Wakana Uehara face The IInspiration in a preview of their Princess Tag Team Titles match at Sumo Hall. Uehara & Shoko Nakajima did their best but weren’t able to pull off the win. Jessie McKay blocked Uehara’s attempt at the Sushi Tornado and instead gave her the Pedigree. Nakajima was then taken out with a Blue Thunder Bomb from Cassie Lee, leaving Uehara defenceless. The IInspiration then put her away with their Magic Killer style Flapjack finisher called The IIdolizer. We’ll next see them at Sumo Hall when they will challenge Ober Eats for the Princess Tag Titles.
Today is a very happy birthday for Miyu Yamashita because she received a warm welcome from the Texas crowd and also got to Skull Kick Yuki Aino’s head off. Meanwhile Mizuki was able to arm herself with another Pico Pico Hammer to replace the one that was recently stolen from her. She proved to be some trouble for Yamashita & Arisu Endo to handle. Aino tried to push her weight around with Shoulder Blocks to Yamashita but then the Skull Kick took her down and out.
Hyper Misao spoke in English to introduce herself and Mifu Ashida to the fans. However by the time she was done, Raku & Pom Harajuku decided to take a nap in the middle of the ring. Ashida tried to wake them up with her cheering but it didn’t work. It was all a trap for the other team to roll them up for nearfall. Outside the ring Misao crashed the Hyper Dramatic Dream into the other team. Harajuku would get her revenge later in the match when Raku suddenly wheeled her out in her own Tesla and used it to run Misao over! Raku then got back into the ring to pin Ashida with the Doctor Yellow.
The former Kaya Toribami has now become Sakura Hattori with today’s show being the debut of her new persona. Gone is the high flying skills of the cassowary and in its place were agility and strikes taken from ninja jujutsu. A Flying Forearm got Hattori a nearfall but Shino Suzuki fought back by putting all of her power into a Sleeper Hold and the Swinging Neckbreaker. Hattori blocked the Belly-To-Belly Suplex and kicked out of the Rolling Backward Cradle before grabbing Suzuki in her new submission finisher. It is a Kata-Gatame style Shoulder Hold called the Shinden Fudo Ryu Majime Ura.
The opener saw Suzume defeat Uta Takami without too much trouble. She had a mishap when Takami dodged the Mikazuki Meteor Shower but Suzume quickly got back control by using the Corner Dive Facecrusher to shut down her opponent’s comeback. One Ring A Bell later and Suzume had her hand raised in victory.
It was as authentic a TJPW show that the promotion and their partners Tokyo Story USA could put together. Sayuri Namba was the ring announcer and The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) performed a song at the start of the show. Just like with last year’s tour, they were joined by the Megami Maids for the performance.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26: FATE IN RYOGOKU”, 15/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

2. Hyper Misao defeated Kira Summer with the Modified Chickenwing Face Lock (7:16).

5. Kaya Toribami defeated HIMAWARI with the Sento Choryu (10:13).
6. Miyu Yamashita & Arisu Endo defeated Toga & Ren Konatsu when Endo pinned Konatsu with the Ju no Okite (11:25).
7. Miu Watanabe, Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Suzume Vs Yuki Arai, Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).
In just a few days time Tokyo Joshi Pro will be heading over to Texas and when they return, “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” will be just around the corner. So today was the last TJPW show in Japan before they go back to Sumo Hall on 29th March. The main event had a mixture of wrestlers from Ryogoku’s biggest matches in action. Yuki Arai teamed up with the ToJo Tokusatsu Club and was encouraged to form the base of their Megazord (to predictable results). Ober Eats and Suzume wanted to keep themselves sharp for their upcoming titles matches as well. But the final three minutes of the match belonged to Arai facing off against Miu Watanabe. The two fought to a stalemate with Watanabe powering out of the Scorpion Death Lock to give Arai a Giant Swing and Arai using her last gasp of strength to throw Watanabe down with the Full Nelson Buster. Both women were laid out after that exchange and the bell rang for the 20 minute time limit reaching its end. The two still wanted to continue wrestling each other after the match and had to be pulled apart by their teams.
After the match Watanabe told Arai she never thought they would become friends who could push each other to this level and become rivals. She wants them to have the best match TJPW can have on 29th March. Arai said she’s been watching Watanabe and her love for pro wrestling ever since Arai debuted five years ago. She’s happy to be called a rival but she thinks she can still do more. Arai is now determined to push herself forward even further so she won’t lose to Watanabe.
Arisu Endo is getting annoyed that all the talk about her match at Sumo Hall is about Miyu Yamashita being in the ring with Sareee & Takumi Iroha. It’s bothering her how she is being left out of the conversation. It motivated her to pick up the win for her team today and to do that again against Spark Rush. Yamashita thinks Endo is in good condition for the match and it is destiny for it to happen this way. She doesn’t think this matchup will ever happen again so she wants to enjoy it with all of her heart and soul. She also wants to win too which will make her and Endo enjoy it even more.
Today is Kaya Toribami’s last match under her current gimmick. The next time we will see her in the ring she will become Sakura Hattori. She said backstage after her match that in the five years of her career she has looked up to strong seniors and been supported by excellent juniors. Thanks to them all she was able to understand her own capabilities. She also got to wrestle her last match in this gimmick against HIMAWARI, the first junior she had a singles match with. She praised her too for also growing stronger and giving it her all today.
Pom Harajuku wanted to help out Mizuki for her preparations to fight Andreza Giant Panda at Sumo Hall. So Harajuku wrestled their match today dressed in an oversized panda costume. The inflated costume protected Harajuku from Mizuki’s strikes but it was also big enough to negatively effect Harajuku’s fast movements. Mizuki continued the running joke of her stealing Harajuku’s shoe and she tried to fit it onto her handle to make a replacement Pico Pico Hammer. But the moment she tried to swing it, the shoe flew off the handle into the audience. Mizuki then found the zip at the back of the costume and pulled it open, eventually forcing Harajuku to take it off completely. Mizuki grabbed the costume, hit her opponent in the face with it, stole her shoe again and pinned her with the Cutie Special.
After the match an unusual person appeared carrying the head of Mizuki’s Pico Pico Hammer. It was Mr. USA from New Nemuro Pro Wrestling, the home promotion of Andreza Giant Panda. Mizuki tried to get the hammer off him but he fought her off and took the rest of the hammer’s remains from her. He told Mizuki she now has no chance of beating Andreza without the hammer and left her in the ring where she had a small a hissyfit over her stuff getting stolen. However she said backstage she was able to beat “Pom-chan Panda” today so she will manage to find a way to beat Andreza at Sumo Hall.
Everyone in the 4 Way Match felt something was missing and it wasn’t until afterward that they noticed none of them had the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title around. Mahiro Kiryu asked who currently has the belt and someone in the crowd answered Hisaya Imabayashi. Then Rika Tatsumi told her that she saw him working at the merchandise booth earlier. Chika Nanase went over to find him and bring him to the ring to explain himself. He was wearing a tracksuit jacket but Raku pulled it open to reveal he was wearing the Iron Man Title belt beneath it! Kiryu asked him to give it back but he refused because he is meant to defend it at the DDT 29th Anniversary show on 22nd March. If he were to lose it before then it would cause a lot of trouble. Kiryu then ordered everyone to attack him but in the chaos, everyone ended up stomping on Kiryu instead while Imabayashi escaped out of harm’s way. He declared he will defend the belt in DDT and will then stand in the ring at Sumo Hall as a champion for an all out war between DDT and TJPW! The reason for this is because TJPW pays him a full wage whenever he works here while DDT only gives him a fixed monthly salary no matter how much work he does for them. Backstage Tatsumi said she will make Kiryu go and get the title back before Sumo Hall. Mifu Ashida cheered for Kiryu to do her best.
Something that Kira Summer had wanted for a long time was a singles match with Hyper Misao because she has a lot of respect for her. So much so that she was prepared for Misao’s tricks, like putting on goggles to protect her eyes from the Hero Spray. She was able to pull Summer’s goggles off and spray her in the eyes anyway. Misao used a Camel Clutch version of the Chickenwing Face Lock to win the match.
The new championship belts for the Princess Of Princess Title, the International Princess Title and the Princess Tag Team Titles were put on display at the show.

10. DDT Universal Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Kazuma Sumi
11. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs KANON
Thirteen matches in total will fill up five hours at Korakuen Hall later this month. DDT is celebrating the 29th Anniversary of its creation and hopes are growing high that something big will be in store for their 30th. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves with that one. Almost every one of DDT’s championships will be defended (the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles are being left out in the cold), future challengers for some of the belts will be set up and there is also the debut of Masami Inahata to look forward to.
It’s all going easy for paleyouth. I only took them a few days to win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles after the unit was created. They also don’t have to wait long for their first defence. Harimao are stepping up to the plate with Kazusada Higuchi standing by to support his buddies.
The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title is currently in quite the predicament. Antonio Honda won the title only to lose it to Hisaya Imabayashi because the DDT GM does not trust Honda enough to beat YOH on 15th April. That match made Imabayashi paranoid that the belt would end up in New Japan’s hands and DDT cannot afford to ever let that happen again. However now he has to defend the title against six opponents and it won’t be in a Battle Royal. It is going to be a Handicap Match instead! The only hope he has is if the opposing team cannot get along and end up falling apart because of it. That could happen if Minoru Suzuki is in a particularly sour mood that day. Sanshiro Takagi does not often inspire a lot of loyalty among his wrestlers either, as a teammate or a boss.
A growing tag team between Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki that is built out of respect and admiration could soon see them get rewarded for their efforts. If they can beat Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA then they will become the No. 1 Contenders for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Otherwise it will be the FANTÔMES DRAMATIC pair who will get the next shot.
The good news for Evil Uno is this appearance on a DDT show in Korakuen Hall cannot be as humiliating for him as the first one. The bad news is he will likely end up with more bruises because The Apex will be his opponents.

Close-up images of the new Princess Championship belts have been revealed by Tokyo Joshi Pro. They will be on display at Sunday’s TJPW show but will not be given out to the champions until the Sumo Hall show.
In an unfortunate turn of events, TNA have told Tokyo Joshi Pro that Lei Ying Lee is unable to take part at their Sumo Hall show and her scheduled trip to Japan has been cancelled. Despite having the booking placed well in advance, TJPW were unable to convince TNA to change their decision. Instead, TNA provided TJPW with a statement that claims neither TJPW nor Lee are to blame over the situation. As best as I can tell, TNA have their “SACRIFICE” special as well as a TV taping happening in New Orleans during the same weekend as “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”. So if Lee is needed for the TV taping on the Saturday then she definitely can’t make it to Tokyo in time for TJPW on the Sunday. The time difference probably makes it too difficult for her to start travelling on the Friday night too. Plus there’s also the general travel risks from going in and out of America that’s currently happening right now that could be playing a part in this situation.
TJPW were quick to announce Lee’s replacement after they put that news out. They put out an offer to Marvelous to secure the TJPW debut of Takumi Iroha! She will be teaming up with Sareee which means their tag team Spark Rush is coming to TJPW! Miyu Yamashita was already excited to fight Sareee again but now she is salivating over the chance to fight Iroha too. Arisu Endo doesn’t want to be left out of the action and says she will shine the brightest out of anyone in the match!
The recent Iron Man Title changes have an effect on this card too. Rika Tatsumi is no longer the champion but she is still in the match. The deal with this Battle Royal is whoever holds the Iron Man Title must take part in the match, which means the DDT GM Hisaya Imabayashi could potentially defend the belt in Sumo Hall on a TJPW show! He never gets to beat Tetsuya Koda in the ring but a moral victory like this would be huge in their professional rivalry.
Another thing with the Battle Royal is TJPW have asked fans not to throw streamers for the entrances due to the nature of the match. However Minimo-chan has made requests for streamers from the fans to celebrate the mascot’s debut wrestling match. After a couple of discussions, TJPW decided that Minimo-chan will enter the match first and will be the only participant allowed to get streamers during the entrance.
Oh, and I almost forgot. Remember how Koda was told to go find a big star for the show but couldn’t do it? Well luck sort of fell on his lap. He accompanied Shion Kanzaki for her day of street performances in Shinjuku to promote the show. All of a sudden Koda was ambushed by the Sumire Uesaka, a voice actress and singer who once performed a solo concert at Sumo Hall ten years ago! She was armed with a saber and assaulted Koda with it in a way that reminded Tokyo Sports of Tiger Jeet Singh attacking Antonio Inoki in the same city back in 1973! Uehara appeared to be in a rage because she once held the Iron Man Title for a brief time last year and wants to be part of the Battle Royal to win it back! After Kanzaki stopped the incident and Uehara calmed down, she explained to Tokyo Sports that she was meant to grab her umbrella as she was leaving her home but grabbed the mysterious saber instead. She felt a sudden urge of fighting spirit overcome her but does not remember anything that happened after that.

Matcha will get into the thick of things after she recently beat Yamashita and Toribami for her home promotion’s tag titles. One of the newcomers is Momo Sato, an idol from Harajuku Gakuen who also happens to be Daichi Sato’s little sister. Last but not least, the mascot Minimo-chan has trained hard enough to unlock its own battle mode and will appear in the match as Minimo.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “PRELUDE TO GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 07/03/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
284 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House
1. Kaya Toribami defeated Shion Kanzaki with the Bird Cage (7:15).
2. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Mahiro Kiryu and Ren Konatsu when Tatsumi pinned Konatsu with the Twist Of Fate (7:55).
3. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Hyper Misao & Mifu Ashida when Endo pinned Ashida with the Ju no Okite (9:05).
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Kira Summer & Chika Nanase when Uehara submitted Nanase with the Banana Pillow (9:40).
5. Mizuki, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro when Mizuki pinned Kazashiro with a School Boy, Raku pinned Nakajima with a School Boy and Harajuku pinned Aino with a School Boy (0:06).
5a. Rematch: Mizuki, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro when Harajuku pinned Nakajima with the Pom de Justice (10:54).
6. Yuki Arai, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki defeated Miu Watanabe, Toga & Uta Takami when Arai submitted Watanabe with the Scorpion Death Lock (14:07).
The tide is turning back towards favoring Yuki Arai because she just made Miu Watanabe tap out! A Full Nelson Buster from Arai helped set up the Scorpion Death Lock. Watanabe tried her hardest to crawl her way to the ropes but when she reached out to grab one, Arai was able to press her hand down while still applying pressure with the hold. Watanabe had no choice to tap out and it was in such a subdued manner that it took a few taps for Fumirin to realize Watanabe was giving up. Arai asked after the match if Watanabe now gets what she is all about? Watanabe admitted she can feel how serious Arai is taking this and now wants to know how much she loves pro wrestling. She promised not to lose to Arai next time and also not to lose to her at Sumo Hall. Arai said backstage that she wants to continue moving forward with condifence because today’s win made her realise she can win the Princess Of Princess Title from Watanabe on 29th March. She’s going to work even harder because she doesn’t want people to think today’s result was a fluke.
The ToJo Tokusatsu Club took their eyes off the prize and paid for it today. Their entrance to the Juken Sentai Gekiranger theme song was interrupted by the other team ambushing them and all getting the three count with roll ups! Shoko Nakajima called the other team cowards for winning that way because the hero’s introduction is meant to be a manifestation of their soul. Mizuki agreed to a rematch and the Club went back to doing their sentai pose only for Pom Harajuku to attack them again. The attempt to form a Megzord didn’t work this time because Harajuku Shin Kicked Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro before they could all combine. Instead Raku & Harajuku held up Mizuki for their own super special triple team. Kazashiro moved out of the way though which made the other team all sad. The Club’s attempt at triple teaming blew up in their faces and Harajuku scored the upset win of the day by pinning Nakajima with the Pom de Justice. The Club learned that Harajuku really is trying to win her matches while they themselves have become cocky over the recent Super Sentai news for “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”.
As we get closer to Sumo Hall, Hyper Misao took it upon herself to go through a trial. She told Mifu Ashida she would fight Daisy Monkey by herself but whenever she gets into trouble, she will need Ashida to cheer her on. Ashida’s cheerleading had her rubbing the pom poms into Suzume’s face so Misao could then spray her after the distraction. It became a regular tag match from there and Arisu Endo used the Ju no Okite on Ashida to get the win.
Kaya Toribami showed up today looking no worse for wear after her ninja training with Genichi Mitsuhashi during the week ended in mystery. Afer her match she told everyone she found out what she needs to do. She then made an unexpected announcement that 15th March will be her final match! The reason for that is because after 15th March, Toribami will become a brand new wrestler going by the name Sakura Hattori!
It was announced today that a Battle Royal will be held at Sumo Hall and Rika Tatsumi will be a part of it to defend the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. However after recently studying her madness under Cookie from Yasei Bakudan, Tatsumi warns that another version of her might appear in the match instead. She is calling this new alter ego The Great Wakabayashi-kun.
The show began with Sanshiro Takagi introducing everyone to the new idol he scouted to wrestle at “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”. She is Momo Sato from the group Harajuku Gakuen. She is from Kanagawa, was born on 5th January, 2011 and stands 157cm tall. She is also the younger sister of Daichi Sato from DDT and has some experience being in a wrestling ring from training in the HEAT-UP Dojo. She even once participated in a recital match at Korakuen Hall while she was in fifth grade. Takagi scouted her when she went to a recent show to support her brother. She will be taking part in the Battle Royal and Takagi recommended she should ask her brother to teach her all kinds of wrestling moves. Momo then told Takagi that Daichi used to put her in the Camel Clutch.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan
1. Mizuki Vs Andreza Giant Panda
2. Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro (w/ Ninja Red, Geki Red & Go-On Red) Vs Aja Kong, Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku

6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Arai
A promotional shoot put together by Tokyo Joshi Pro took place at the Meiji Kinenkan yesterday. During the day, contracts were signed for two of the three championship matches being held at “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” and the participants got to speak their minds about them. Yuki Arai talked about this being her second challenge for the Princess Of Princess Title. When she lost to Mizuki last year, she still felt she got closer towards the belt than she was before the match but still felt disheartened. She shares a bond with Miu Watanabe because they are both idol wrestlers and gets really excited whenever they get to wrestle each other. Arai wants to beat Watanabe to become the new champion and carry the future as TJPW’s ace.
Watanabe talked about being a two-time Princess Champion and the upcoming match at Sumo Hall being her fifth defence of this reign. The longer she carries the belt, the more she grows as a princess. By the time she gets to Ryogoku she will feel like the strongest princess ever! She also never forgot how beautiful and happy everything felt two years ago when she beat Miyu Yamashita in Sumo Hall for her first Princess Title. She wants to see that sparkle again and spread it even further than before. During her recent battles with Arai, she now believes that Arai has the strongest heart of any wrestler. However she cannot tell what is Arai’s favorite type of wrestling and wants to find out before the title match takes place. Watanabe also came up with comparisons between her and Arai. Watanabe is like Cinderella while Arai is Mickey Mouse. When Watanabe thinks of Disney Land, she thinks of Cinderella’s castle because it is the symbol of such a dreamland. She thinks of Arai as a star who likes to take the next step forward, just like Mickey.
The other contract signing was for the International Princess Title bout between MIRAI and Suzume. The two were originally classmates in TJPW until they drifted apart. Suzume brought up how she felt when they were back fighting in the same ring again recently. It made her think more than ever that she should never lose to MIRAI. She expects MIRAI to feel the same way. She also wants to live her life on her own terms just like how MIRAI does, but that means fighting for what she loves and she loves TJPW. MIRAI spoke about representing Michinoku Pro and admitted her older self would never imagine a match like this ever happening again. She understands how much Suzume wants to vent her frustrations out at her but can also tell Suzume is still a very kind person. Both will be smiling while wrestling each other with all of the emotions coming out of their hearts. That’s just the kind of match MIRAI wants to have at Sumo Hall. Both of them also brought up stories of their time together as trainees alongside a third classmate. She wasn’t named but they were referring to Sena Shiori.
Until now the only previous time Miyu Yamashita and Sareee had fought each other was back in 2020 before Sareee went to America for her WWE NXT run. At the time, Aja Kong herself said she wanted Sareee to remove her limits for the match because it would make Yamashita do the same but it never really got to that level. It’s finally time to run it back with another tag match. Lei Ying Lee became friends with Sareee during their time spent in WWE yet they never got to be in the same match together. Both of them are wrestlers who Yamashita really wants to face for different reasons. She has unfinished business with Sareee as mentioned above while she is also really impressed with Ying Lee’s kung fu and kickboxing skills. Arisu Endo will be Yamashita’s tag partner for the match and she admits to feeling shivers of excitement when she found out about it. She considers herself the least experienced wrestler in the match but thinks she can shine the brightest out of everyone. It’s up to Yamashita & Endo to show the outsiders just what TJPW is all about!
Away from the promotional shoot, other updates to the card have since been announced. It was already confirmed that the Super Sentai will be connected to the ToJo Tokusatsu Club’s match but now we know more details about it. They’re going to be accompanied by three Red Rangers! Ninja Red, Geki Red & Go-On Red will be there for the Club, or maybe the Club members will morph into them. I still don’t quite get what’s going on.
There is also news coming from Sanshiro Takagi’s role for the show. He was tasked by Super Sasadango Machine to scout a new idol to become a pro wrestler and debut at the show. Accordng to Takagi he has successfully scouted someone and is planning to reveal the idol to everyone at this Saturday’s TJPW show.
Finally, Rika Tatsumi went on a journey to search for the “madness” that is deep inside her. Her idea of doing that was to go meet her comedy idol Cookie from the duo Yasei Bakudan. She was so eager to learn from him that she officially relinquished the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title to him! He reluctantly accepted the belt and a nearby referee announced the title change. Cookie then started coming up with ideas to help Tatsumi embrace her psycho side. He first painted her face white and added oversized props to her face. She tested her craziness by choking Cookie until he submitted, which meant Tatsumi won back the Iron Man Title. More facepainting took place and Tatsumi ended up looking like Pinhead from the Hellraiser movies. The meeting ended with Cookie gifting Tatsumi with a custom nunchuk, one that has a fork hidden inside it to be used as a secret weapon.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FINAL CURTAIN IN KOBE ART CENTER”, 21/02/2026
Kobe Art Center
273 Fans
1. Haru Kazashiro defeated Shion Kanzaki with the Fisherman Suplex (6:04).
2. Wakana Uehara defeated Kira Summer with the Sushi Tornado (8:15).
3. Yuki Aino & Pom Harajuku defeated Rika Tatsumi & Mahiro Kiryu when Aino pinned Kiryu with the Venus DDT (9:54).
4. Aja Kong, Raku & Ren Konatsu defeated Hyper Misao, Mifu Ashida & Sara Phoenix when Kong pinned Ashida with a Jumping Elbow Drop (10:10).
5. Yuki Arai & HIMAWARI defeated Shoko Nakajima & Chika Nanase when Arai pinned Nanase with the Modified Brainbuster (10:28).
6. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated MIRAI & Toga when Suzume pinned Toga with the Ring A Bell (13:20).
7. Mizuki & Uta Takami defeated Miu Watanabe & Shino Suzuki when Mizuki pinned Suzuki with the Cutie Special (16:03).
Up until a month ago Mizuki thought she would never main event a show in Kobe with Uta Takami as her tag partner. She is happy to have Miu Watanabe & Shino Suzuki as her opponents for Tokyo Joshi Pro’s final visit to Kobe Art Center. It is the last time because upcoming building renovations will make the venue unsuitable for holding wrestling shows once they’re completed (at least that’s according to Tetsuya Koda). Takami too was almost overwhelmed with emotion over it because she didn’t expect to get more chances to team with Mizuki after the Max Heart Tournament ended. Mizuki doesn’t know when TJPW will ever come back to Kobe so she wanted to create as many memories as she could today.
It’s been over four years since MIRAI and Suzume were last in the same match together. Today they were able to go back and forth in a preview of their International Princess Title match. Suzume had the advantage of being with her Daisy Monkey teammate Arisu Endo while MIRAI was teaming up with her previous challenger Toga for the first time. Daisy Monkey got the win after Double Dropkicking MIRAI, leaving Toga alone for Suzume to finish off. MIRAI said this will likely be the last preview before the title match due to her schedule elsewhere. She could tell some things about Suzume have changed since they last wrestled but there are other things that have stayed the same. The two have mixed feelings for each other that only they understand and MIRAI is determined not to lose the title to her. Toga was apologetic for losing today’s match and in response MIRAI offered her to be her ringside second for the title match. Toga agreed to do it if she is allowed to do so. Meanwhile Endo told Suzume she will always be by her side cheering her on. She wants her own feelings to be carried by Suzume in order to help her beat MIRAI for the title. Suzume said she will because she wants to fight Endo for the belt again some day in the future.
Yuki Kamifuku had to pull out of this weekend’s show after becoming sick. Two of the undercard matches had to be changed around to make up for her absence.
