Tokyo Princess Cup 2022 Brackets

July 11, 2022

A Tokyo Joshi Pro press conference was held in Shibuya today for the 9th annual Tokyo Princess Cup. All 20 participants were in attendance to take part in a lottery that filled out the bracket. Each of them then commented on their matches afterward.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 16/07/2022
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1A: Shoko Nakajima Vs Haruna Neko
2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1C: Miyu Yamashita Vs Hyper Misao
3. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1E: Mahiro Kiryu Vs Yuki Arai
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1G: Pom Harajuku Vs Moka Miyamoto

Shoko Nakajima enters the tournament as one of the strongest favorites. She currently holds the Princess Of Princess Title and has a great history with this tournament, winning it once and reaching the final 5 times. However she thinks this year’s field is completely unpredictable so she is going to fight carefully in every match. She is a similar size to her opponent Haruna Neko and for that reason wants Neko to follow her lead. Neko is a bit scared to face Nakajima in the 1st Round but take the match seriously and give it her all to win.

While Nakajima has great luck in the Princess Cup, it’s the complete opposite for Miyu Yamashita. The ace of TJPW has never won the Princess Cup, has never reached the final and in some years was eliminated in the 1st Round. In fact the woman who knocked her out from Round 1 in 2016 is Hyper Misao and they meet again in the same place! Yamashita has since gotten her own back by eliminating Misao from the 2020 tournament but she cannot hide her displeasure over getting an unlucky draw. Misao even drew lucky No. 7 to get matched with her! That now gives her the confidence to beat Yamashita with a perfect performance score of 100%.

Yuki Arai wants to make up for getting eliminated in the 1st Round last year. She is riding high from winning the Princess Tag Team Titles this past weekend. Mahiro Kiryu notices that and thinks it is a good thing for herself. She has a chance to beat somebody really popular and raise her own stock!

Both Pom Harajuku and Moka Miyamoto are happy to be matched against each other. Harajuku is feeling good and will put that kind of energy into her match. Miyamoto is motivated to win because she wants to surpass her seniors.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 17/07/2022
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1B: Arisu Endo Vs Miu Watanabe
2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1D: Nao Kakuta Vs Yuki Aino
3. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1F: Kaya Toribami Vs Yuka Sakazaki
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1H: Yuki Kamifuku Vs Rika Tatsumi

Arisu Endo and Miu Watanabe are also having opposite thoughts over their luck in the draw. Endo doesn’t feel lucky to fight Watanabe but promises to do her best. Watanabe however praises Endo for the growth she showed at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’22”. It makes Watanabe cautious not to lose her own focus when they face off.

Last year Nao Kakuta fought Yuki Aino to a 7 minute draw. It is a result that Aino does not want to repeat because she is full of energy right now. She is also looking ahead because the winner of this will face either a monster like Yamashita, a scary person like Misao or the third option even scarier than her! Kakuta isn’t worried about that. She said she is determined to win no matter who her opponent is.

Yuka Sakazaki sees a lot of potential in Kaya Toribami and is looking forward to playing with her. Toribami knows she is in for a tough fight. Even if she can’t win she wants to have a good match to keep her spirits up.

After this weekend there is nothing for Rika Tatsumi to be afraid of anymore. Even though she lost the Princess Title match she thinks she made a super amount of progress coming out of it. It won’t be easy but she will spend the summer aiming to win the Princess Cup so she can get another Princess Title shot. Yuki Kamifuku hates competing in tournaments. But she is about to reach the 5th anniversary of her debut match this August and she wants to do her best for that reason.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 18/07/2022
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2B: Winner Of Match 1C Vs Raku
2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2C: Winner Of Match 1E Vs Hikari Noa

The winner of Yamashita Vs Misao faces Raku in Round 2, the scariest one of all! Raku said no matter which of them she faces, she will confuse them to win. The match schedule for Round 2 is a little bit out of bracket order because Yamashita will be wrestling in America around the same time. TJPW made sure the 2nd Round match she can qualify for is not clashing with her travel schedule.

Hikari Noa takes on either Kiryu or Arai. Noa thinks every year is going to be her year to win the Princess Cup so she is getting impatient over not making it come true. Her motivation this time is the chance to face Sakazaki further down the bracket.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 23/07/2022
Shinjuku FACE

1. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2A: Winner Of Match 1B Vs Mizuki
2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2D: Winner Of Match 1G Vs Suzume

Although Mizuki no longer has the Tag Titles, she still has plenty of dreams she wants to achieve as a singles wrestler. The two time Princess Cup winner is excited by the idea of facing Nakajima so soon in their block of the playoff.

Suzume has two very different potential opponents. She has never wrestled Harajuku one on one before and won’t be able to predict what Harajuku can do to her. She also recognises how strong Miyamoto is becoming and thinks she will be a scary opponent for her. However the thought of fighting and beating even stronger opponents like Kamifuku or Tatsumi in the next round after is something Suzume really wants to do.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 31/07/2022
Tokyo Otemachi Mitsui Hall

1. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Winner Of Match 1B Vs Winner Of Match 2A
2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Winner Of Match 1D Vs Winner Of Match 2B
3. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Winner Of Match 1F Vs Winner Of Match 2C
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Winner Of Match 1H Vs Winner Of Match 2D

This will be the first time a Princess Cup show will be held in Otemachi Mitsui Hall.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 13/08/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: X Vs X
2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: X Vs X

The bracket stops at the final four and a lottery will determine the semi-final match ups.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 14/08/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: X Vs X

Last year’s winner Maki Itoh will be in America during this time wrestling in GCW. That is why she is not entering the Princess Cup this year. Juria Nagano also could not enter the tournament because of a busy schedule.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’22” Results

July 9, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’22”, 09/07/2022
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium
1,130 Fans

1. Moka Miyamoto defeated Juria Nagano with the Rashomon (4:58).
2. Aja Kong, Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Hyper Misao, Nao Kakuta, Haruna Neko & Kaya Toribami when Aino pinned Toribami with the Venus DDT (12:28).
3. Ryo Mizunami defeated Miu Watanabe with the Hot Limit (11:53).
4. Hikaru Shida & Hikari Noa defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Shida pinned Kiryu with the Arawashi Driver (13:32).
5. Mei Suruga & Suzume defeated Riho & Arisu Endo when Suzume pinned Endo with the Ring A Bell (14:21).
6. International Princess Title: Alex Windsor defeated Maki Itoh (c) with the GTF (13:22).
*Maki Itoh fails in V5. Alex Windsor becomes the 8th International Princess Champion!
7. Special Single Match: Miyu Yamashita defeated Thunder Rosa with a Cradle (13:39).
8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Saki Akai & Yuki Arai defeated Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) when Akai pinned Mizuki after the Double Rookie Awards (24:28).
*The Magical Sugar Rabbits fail in V6. Reiwa AA Cannon become the 10th Princess Tag Team Champions!
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) defeated Rika Tatsumi with the Diving Senton (19:23).
*V4 for Shoko Nakajima.

Not even a White Dragon going crazy can stop the Big Kaiju right now. In front of over a thousand fans allowed to cheer, Shoko Nakajima defeated Rika Tatsumi to defend the Princess Of Princess Title. Tatsumi promised to be more determined than ever to win and proved it by doing the Missile Hip from the top rope to Nakajima outside the ring. However her attempt to lean back with the Dragon Sleeper for leverage backfired when Nakajima rolled out to free herself from the move. The champion turned the tables from there, used a Double Arm DDT and pinned Tatsumi with the Diving Senton. She called her opponent strong after the match and looks forward to meeting her down the road again. Nakajima then thanked the fans for their cheers because it gives the wrestlers more energy than we think. She praised the roster for being great and wants Tokyo Joshi Pro to grow even more. While Tatsumi is upset over losing, she feels strange because it hasn’t broken her heart. Instead it made her love pro wrestling again.

The supernova rise of Yuki Arai continues with the “genius girl” winning her first championship in TJPW! Her team with Saki Akai was the force that finally broke The Magical Sugar Rabbits and ended their Princess Tag Team Titles reign. At first Arai looked to be out of her depth against the champions but once she got to show off her teamwork with Akai it turned out they had MagiRabi well scouted. Together they blocked one of the Toy Story double team attacks and Arai threw Mizuki off the top rope with the Full Nelson Buster. Akai was also too tall for Yuka Sakazaki to give the Magical Merry-Go-Round to. Mizuki tried to intervene until she was struck in the back of the head with Arai’s Finally kick. Arai went for the move a second time and Sakazaki took the bullet after pushing Mizuki out of harm’s way. Reiwa AA Cannon then took inspiration from the one achievement they both share by performing a Double Rookie Award to Mizuki. Akai then pinned Mizuki for the title change while Arai held Sakazaki back.

Akai admits that they wouldn’t have been able to beat MagiRabi 99 times out of 100. It was Arai’s luck that made today the 1 time they were going to win. Akai thought she was going to be leading the team but her tag partner supported her more than she realised. Now they have the Princess Tag Titles there will be many teams chasing after them. Akai tells Arai this is the hard part because they now have to run further ahead of everyone else. Arai said she feels the weight of carrying the title belt because she is also carrying the history of the previous champions. She wants to be somebody who won’t be ashamed of holding this title. She also can’t wait to show the belt to all the fans of SKE48.

In the days leading up to the show, Thunder Rosa sent a message to TJPW saying if Miyu Yamashita could beat her today then she will give her a AEW Women’s Title shot back in America. The new stakes added more to Rosa’s anticipated return to TJPW for the first time in two and a half years. Yamashita hit the Skull Kick but she couldn’t get the three count with a rope break. She then went for the Attitude Adjustment but Rosa countered it into a Cradle. Yamashita suddenly reversed the Cradle and got a three count out of nowhere to win the match! Rosa said she now knows what to do because she isn’t going to let the AEW Women’s Title be taken away from her like the International Princess Title was. Whenever Yamashita is back in America, she knows where to find Rosa to get her title match. Yamashita said having the home field advantage was why she won today. She would like to have the rematch against Rosa in America but wants to fight that match for herself, not as a representative for TJPW.

England’s Alex Windsor had some bad luck travelling to Japan because she lost her gear and luggage on the way over. However she must be all smiles after today because she beat Maki Itoh to become the new International Princess Champion! Itoh fought big by using an Avalanche DDT but missed the Flying Big Head. Windsor fought back with her own big moves by using a Liger Bomb and another Power Bomb as a counter. She then put Itoh away with a Modified Fisherman Buster called the GTF to win the title. Windsor says she is taking over the world and will take the IP Title where ever she wants to. Meanwhile a sad Itoh is left asking herself why is she always so weak? She has an overseas tour coming up in August so she knows she has to fight more different wrestlers from around the world. She is also upset she couldn’t live up to the expectations of the fans who could now cheer for her today.

The first match for MeiBee Surprise was a success for Mei Suruga & Suzume. They were paired against two opponents who are very close to them. Suruga and Riho have a lot of history together while Suzume regularly teams with Arisu Endo as Daisy Monkey. The match came down to Suzume against Endo. Suzume came out on top after hitting the Ring A Bell on her friend. Riho said she was excited to have the match because it was her first time wrestling in Japan for 9 months. Suzume described the match as a red string getting all tangled up because she has attachments to everyone involved. She also said she will continue fighting to surpass Suruga. You’d think Suruga would see that as a threat but she just laughed it off.

Previous opponents Hikaru Shida & Hikari Noa were now teaming together on today’s show. Together they brushed off Toyo Mates even when they attempted to fight fire with fire. Mahiro Kiryu stopped Noa from using a chair but then tried using the same chair on Shida. That was blocked and Shida pinned her with the Arawashi Driver. Yuki Kamifuku gave encouragement to Kiryu afterwards, telling her life goes by fast and can be over in the blink of an eye. They can become strong people who can take a beating together. Noa said she had a lot of time to think about her previous match with Shida. She enjoyed today’s match more than anything and was happy to use weapons with Shida again. Shida thinks she made a good start in her quest to wreck havoc in TJPW with her appearances so far. She doesn’t know who she will face next but is looking forward to coming back here.

It doesn’t matter if her opponent was changed on short notice. Somebody was going to get a Giant Swing from Miu Watanabe! That somebody happened to be Ryo Mizunami. Watanabe had to work hard for it though because her veteran opponent put her through the wringer with Chops, slams and Lariats. Mizunami gained the upper hand with a Spear and never let go of the momentum, finishing off Watanabe with the Hot Limit. She praised Watanabe, saying she was blown away by her opponent’s power. It doesn’t matter if she is an idol with less experience in the ring, when Watanabe enters through those ropes she is a pro wrestler! Mizunami also appreciated the warm reception she got from the TJPW fans. Watanabe also gave credit to the fans for pushing her on. Even when she was hurt, the fans calling her name made her want to do her best. She achieved her goal to give Mizunami the Giant Swing. Her ultimate goal is to do that to Aja Kong!

Speaking of Kong, she was happy to be back in TJPW. Yuki Aino & Pom Harajuku in particular were surprised to see Kong give Raku a big hug during their entrance all together. Hyper Misao also welcomed Kong back and was nice to her. But that was because Misao wanted to swap teams and be on Kong’s side instead of being her opponent. Misao later sprayed Kong’s face but its effects didn’t last long. Kong wiped out Nao Kakuta & Haruna Neko with a Double Lariat, giving Aino the space to beat Kaya Toribami with the Venus DDT. Misao later said she would like to fight Kong again. Her tag partners are not as enthusiastic over the idea.

The opening match was special for Moka Miyamoto and Juria Nagano because it was the first time they got to experience wrestling in front of a cheering crowd. Nagano used a new combination of kicks but still went back to the Brazilian Kick late in the match. Miyamoto eventually got her in the Rashomon to earn the submission victory. She was glad to win because she knows she would lose to Nagano in a Karate bout. But this is pro wrestling and Miyamoto is more experienced than her here.

There will be a collaboration between TJPW and Idolmaster Cinderella Girls. Two of the characters in the game Akane Hino & Yuko Hori will receive costumes based on the ring gear Yuki Arai and Maki Itoh wore for their IP Title match from “GRAND PRINCESS ’22”. In return, Arai and Itoh will soon receive real life costumes based on Hino & Hori to wear for portraits and other related merchandise.

“GO GIRL 3” will be held at Korakuen Hall on 28th August. It is a show for only women in the audience and admission will be free. There will also be a brand new logo for Tokyo Joshi Pro unveiled at the show.

“The Non-Binary Nightmare” Max The Impaler will make their TJPW debut on the 13th & 14th August Korakuen Hall shows. If there is anything you need to know about Max it this. They hate idols!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ~FUKUOKA PERFORMANCE~” Results

June 26, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ~FUKUOKA PERFORMANCE~”, 26/06/2022
Fukuoka Nishitetsu Hall
270 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Moka Miyamoto defeated Kaya Toribami with the Rashomon (6:13).
2. One Spray OK Rule Match: Hyper Misao defeated Arisu Endo with the Hypami Returns (8:02).
3. Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta defeated Suzume & Haruna Neko when Noa pinned Neko with the Blizzard Suplex (9:35).
4. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Yuki Kamifuku and Raku when Tatsumi pinned Taku with the Missile Hip (7:20).
5. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Miu Watanabe, Pom Harajuku & Yuki Arai when Sakazaki pinned Harajuku with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (13:13).
6. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh defeated Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Aino when Yamashita pinned Aino with the Skull Kick (16:35).

121000000 were the hometown heroes in Fukuoka today. The last time Tokyo Joshi Pro were in the area was March 2019 so Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh were both at their most motivated to do their best. They linked up to hit their big High Kick/Headbutt Sandwich to both Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Aino. Yamashita then finished Aino off with the Skull Kick. Itoh told the fans they were able to win because of Fukuoka power. Yamashita now believes she & Itoh have no limits as a tag team. Backstage Itoh suggested the next time TJPW comes to Fukuoka, 121000000 should get a Princess Tag Team Titles match.

Speaking of the Tag Titles, The Magical Sugar Rabbits got a little preview match against one of their next challengers Yuki Arai. This was the second day in a row Yuka Sakazaki fought her. She praised Arai for showing guts and a competitive spirit this weekend. It makes Sakazaki wonder what the matches would have been like if Saki Akai was there too. Mizuki is determined to beat Reiwa no AA Cannon so she can go one step closer towards achieving her dream to defend the Tag Titles in outer space! Arai later revealed she has relatives living in Fukuoka and they got to see her wrestle.

Hyper Misao and Arisu Endo agreed to a rule change for their match. They were both allowed one spray attack each without penalty. Misao did it first but Endo returned the attack later in the match. A ref bump gave Misao an opportunity to spray Endo a second time. Endo kept fighting and escaped from the Chickenwing Face Lock but Misao ended up beating her anyway with the Hypami Returns.

Tokyo Princess Cup 2022

June 23, 2022

The 9th annual Tokyo Princess Cup will consist of 20 wrestlers competing in 5 rounds across 7 shows. Last year’s winner Maki Itoh will not be entering the tournament because she has a booking with GCW in America on the same day as the final. Itoh’s priority with Tokyo Joshi Pro right now is to wrestle on behalf of the company overseas. Juria Nagano will also not be entering the tournament due to a busy schedule. Miyu Yamashita is entering the tournament while she has an American booking scheduled for 23rd July. For that reason the match schedule for Round 2 will not be decided until the brackets are filled up. That way if Yamashita has a Round 2 match it will not clash with her Garden State Pro booking. The semi-final pairings will be determined by a lottery.

Shoko Nakajima (9th Appearance, 2015 Winner)
Yuka Sakazaki (8th Appearance)

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai & Hideki Okatani Vs Toru Owashi, Soma Takao & Toi Kojima
0. Dark Match: Daisuke Sasaki & KANON Vs Yuji Hino & Yuki Ishida

5. Special Tag Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Chris Brookes & X
6. KO-D Openweight Title – King Of DDT 2022 – Final: X Vs X

The King Of DDT final four are Kazusada Higuchi, Jun Akiyama, Yuki Ueno and Naomi Yoshimura. The semi-finals divide them into two existing rivalries. Higuchi and Akiyama put aside their past differences to work as a functional tag team at “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022” but the premature ending to that match left that loose thread up in the air. Both have promised to become the KO-D Openweight Champion on behalf of Tetsuya Endo and carry on in his place while he is injured. Ueno and Yoshimura have become rivals since their tag team Nautilus split up. Yoshimura has beaten Ueno in all of their previous singles matches.

A mystery wrestler is teaming up with Chris Brookes to take on MAO & Shunma Katsumata? Who could it be? Maybe it’s a certain Welshman who Brookes and The 37KAMIINA have been in the ring with before. No, not CdawgVA!

The complete card for “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’22” was revealed today. The Magical Sugar Rabbits have been challenged by Reiwa AA Cannon for the Princess Tag Team Titles. Special guests from AEW feature up and down the show with the big match being Thunder Rosa Vs Miyu Yamashita in a first time meeting. Riho pops up to team with Arisu Endo against Mei Suruga & Suzume. Previous opponents Hikaru Shida & Hikari Noa are now on the same team as they take on the newly renamed Toyo Mates. There is going to be so much joy and power on show when Miu Watanabe and Willow Nightingale are in the same ring together. Aja Kong has her first match back in Tokyo Joshi Pro since October. Karate meets Karate when Moka Miyamoto faces Juria Nagano.

A challenger has been found for Maki Itoh. Over in England this past weekend, Alex Windsor won the SHE-1 tournament in Pro Wrestling: EVE. During her victory speech, she called out Itoh and demanded a shot at the International Princess Title! Itoh received the message and accepted the challenge so Windsor will soon be on her way to Japan.

The tycoon of America’s indie scene finally arrives in DDT! Joey Janela has long been sought after by Sanshiro Takagi going back to the Social Distancing match GCW held very early into the pandemic. He will be arriving in Japan a week earlier but his first confirmed match is taking place at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2022”. He takes on Katsumata in a Hardcore Match. Since Janela is nicknamed “The Bad Boy”, Katsumata is now calling himself “The Happy Boy”.

Shinichiro Kawamatsu is returning to DDT to have a proper debut pro wrestling match. The politician wasn’t satisfied with his previous wrestling match relying on his bodyguard only to get beaten into submission once he had to fight for himself. So he is finding time during his political duties to train for a proper match. He actively trains in Jiu Jitsu so he already has some martial arts experience to lean on.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ADDITIONAL ATTACK ’22” Results

June 19, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ADDITIONAL ATTACK ’22”, 19/06/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
525 Fans

1. Kaya Toribami defeated Arisu Endo with a Cradle (7:38).
2. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Nao Kakuta & Haruna Neko when Kamifuku pinned Neko with the Famouser (10:11).
3. 3 Way Match: Yuki Aino defeated Raku and Pom Harajuku when Aino pinned Harajuku with the Venus DDT (7:11).
4. Miu Watanabe defeated Juria Nagano with the Candian Backbreaker (7:22).
5. Saki Akai & Yuki Arai defeated Miyu Yamashita & Moka Miyamoto when Arai pinned Miyamoto with the Finally (14:26).
6. Rika Tatsumi & Suzume defeated Maki Itoh & Hikari Noa when Tatsumi pinned Noa with the Missile Hip (12:59).
7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) defeated Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao when Sakazaki pinned Misao with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (19:03).
*V5 for the Magical Sugar Rabbits.

One week ago Shoko Nakajima successfully defended the Princess Of Princess Title against Yuka Sakazaki. Today Sakazaki evened the score by successfully defending the Princess Tag Team Titles with Mizuki against Nakajima & Hyper Misao. The challengers Kyoraku Kyomei pulled every trick they could think of to try and win the belts. They tried spraying foam at them, tried crashing bikes into them and even tried out-wrestling them. But The Magical Sugar Rabbits kept their cool and Sakazaki ended up pinning Misao with the Magical Merry-Go-Round.

Mizuki is pleased to reach her 5th defence in this reign. Even though the championships are remaining in the status quo, she thinks the value of the Tag Titles have increased which only makes her want to defend it more and more. Yuki Arai then entered the ring and threw out a challenge. She wants herself and Saki Akai to be the next opponents for MagiRabi! Arai has only been wrestling for a year but within that time she got to see so many cool things from Sakazaki, Mizuki & Akai up close. It drives her to become stronger and challenge for the titles.

Rika Tatsumi is building up her momentum for her Princess Title shot at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’22” next month. She & Suzume defeated Maki Itoh & Hikari Noa in the semi-main event. Tatsumi was able to cut off Noa with the Hip Attack, followed up with the Twist Of Fate and won with the Missile Hip. Noa & Itoh argued afterwards when Noa admitted to lying about wanting to team with Itoh. Tatsumi & Suzume however described their own teamwork as perfect. Today is the second time this month they teamed up and they are currently unbeaten together.

Reiwa AA Cannon can point to their win over Miyu Yamashita & Moka Miyamoto as their qualification to be the No. 1 Contenders for the Tag Titles. Akai hit Yamashita with the Quetzalcoatl to take her out of the running. Miyamoto still put up a fight on her own but Arai eventually got the better of her and struck the Finally to win. Akai had to leave the building shortly afterwards for another booking but gave Arai her blessing to to go ahead and challenge MagiRabi at the end of the show.

A big challenge lay ahead for Juria Nagano when she took on Miu Watanabe. She put up a good fight but the expected result happened when Watanabe lifted her up into the Canadian Backbreaker and held on until Nagano gave up. Watanabe later found out she is going to be Willow Nightingale’s debut opponent on 9th July. It will be Watanabe’s first ever singles match against a foreign wrestler. It makes her nervous but she will do her best to introduce herself to Nightingale with power and a smile.

The 3 Way Match turned into a bit of a love triangle with Yuki Aino and Pom Harajuku fighting over Raku’s affection. It was caused when Aino decided to join forces with Raku instead of Harajuku for the 2-on-1 advantage. Harajuku fought back by grabbing a homemade photobook of Raku pictures and using it to lure Aino away from the real Raku. Aino took control of the match until Harajuku came back trying to steal pins. Raku and Harajuku collided together and Aino dropped Harajuku with the Venus DDT for the win.

Toyo University Tag teamed up for the first time in a while to take on Nao Kakuta & Haruna Neko. It was a worthwhile reunion because they won with flying colours. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu landed a Big Boot/Spinebuster combo on Kakuta. Kamifuku then went on to pin Neko with the Famouser. Backstage Kamifuku talked about how exciting Tokyo Joshi Pro has been lately. She thinks it is time for her & Kiryu to update their tag team name. She told Kiryu to think of a new name on the spot. Kiryu came up with Toyo Mates because she wanted to keep Toyo in the name.

It took over a year but Kaya Toribami has finally won her first singles match! At first it looked like Arisu Endo had her beaten with a Camel Clutch. But when she readjusted the hold to pull Toribami away from the ropes, a series of Cradles began and ended with Toribami getting the three count. Toribami said she is really happy to finally win under her own power and without relying on teammates. She wants to fight more on an even footing against her seniors. Endo is disappointed to be the first person Toribami has beaten. She learned the lesson that she lost because she was not careful.

Miyu Yamashita is getting a major opponent at Ota Ward Gymnasium on 9th July. She will take on Thunder Rosa from AEW! It will be Rosa’s first match in TJPW since January 2020 when she won the International Princess Title from Itoh. She wasn’t able to return because of the covid pandemic and eventually vacated the title. Yamashita is really looking forward to facing the current AEW Women’s Champion because they haven’t wrestled each other before.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR ’22” Results

May 15, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR ’22”, 15/05/2022
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
164 Fans

1. Maki Itoh defeate Kaya Toribami with the Itoh Punish (8:11).
2. Yuki Aino & Miu Watanabe defeated Suzume & Haruna Neko when Watanabe pinned Neko with the Tear Drop (11:36).
3. 3 Way Match: Raku defeated Hikari Noa and Mahiro Kiryu when Raku pinned Kiryu with the Hurricane Turn (6:29).
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Nao Kakuta defeated Miyu Yamashita & Pom Harajuku when Kamifuku pinned Harajuku with the Famouser (9:29).
5. Rika Tatsumi defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Twist Of Fate (10:02).
6. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Mizuki & Arisu Endo when Misao pinned Endo with the Hypami Returns (13:42).

Today was a new chapter for Kyoraku Kyomei. It was their first time teaming together in three months and since then Shoko Nakajima defended the Princess Of Princess Title against Hyper Misao. They showed they are still on the same page by beating Mizuki & Arisu Endo in the main event. Misao said this new and improved version of Kyoraku Kyomei feels comfortable and she is convinced they are the best tag team in Tokyo Joshi Pro history! So without consulting Nakajima, Misao asked for a Princess Tag Team Titles match against the Magical Sugar Rabbits. Even though Yuka Sakazaki was absent, Mizuki accepted the challenged (Sakazaki watched the show live from America and her tweets quickly went from “Refuse!” to “I’ll do it!”). Nakajima asked for the match to take place at Korakuen Hall on 19th June, a week after “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022”. She promised to become TJPW’s first Double Crown Princess Champion!

Both Miyu Yamashita and Maki Itoh commented on their upcoming trip to America for Prestige Wrestling at the end of the month. Itoh will be defending the International Princess Title against Mia Yim on the 28th May show in Portland, Oregon. She said she wants to crush the former NXT wrestler to increase the value of her championship. The belt has been waiting for her so Itoh promises to do her best so she can come back to Japan with her heart held high. Yamashita’s opponent on the 28th is Masha Slamovich. Yamashita describes her as a ferocious opponent from Impact Wrestling so she wants to kick her ass. Yamashita and Itoh will face each other on the second Prestige show taking place the next night.

English wrestler “The Unbreakable” Rhio will begin her first tour of TJPW on 29th May as part of the company’s relationship with Pro Wrestling EVE. Rhio is 25 years old, born in Lancashire and been wrestling for seven years. She is 163cm tall, weighs 70kg and has a background in both Karate and Taekwondo. She will be the first foreign wrestler to enter TJPW in two and a half years.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR ’22”, 15/05/2022
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Maki Itoh Vs Kaya Toribami
2. 3 Way Match: Hikari Noa Vs Raku Vs Mahiro Kiryu

4. Yuki Aino & Miu Watanabe VsSuzume & Haruna Neko
5. Miyu Yamashita & Pom Harajuku Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Nao Kakuta
6. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao Vs Mizuki & Arisu Endo

All is well and good between Kyoraku Kyomei after the Princess Of Princess Title earlier this month. Yuka Sakazaki is staying in America for the rest of this month so it is up to Mizuki & Arisu Endo to fight Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao on her behalf.

This will be Miyu Yamashita and Maki Itoh’s last match in Japan this month before they go over to America for their bookings with Prestige Wrestling. Your guess is as good as mine if there are any suprise appearances either will make between now and then.

As mentioned above, Sakazaki’s excursion to AEW will last for the rest of the month so she will not be on this show. Her first match back in Tokyo Joshi Pro will be on 4th June. TJPW have said that more international bookings for their roster will happen after June and they will inform the fans about them when they happen.

DDT “AUDIENCE 2022”, 22/05/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles Tournament – Final: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & KANON Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani

Akito has been convinced to audition for Pheromones to keep the unit under control. The implication that doing this will earn Akito enough trust from CyberFight that he will then some day be promoted to company president is motivating him to go along with the plan. He promised to take it further by gaining Pheromones’ trust before destroying them from the inside. They are going to try out a few warm up tag team matches before fully committing to the big 8-Man Tag Match at “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022”. This changes the first two matches on the card to accommodate this new plan.

GANBARE☆PRO “CRAZY THUNDER ROAD 2022”, 26/05/2022

1. PocchaJo Vs GanJo Full-Scale Battle: Yuna Manase, Maika Ozaki & Yappy Vs Moeka Haruhi, HARUKAZE & YuuRI

The build up to “WRESTLE SEKIGAHARA” goes up a notch here. Yumehito Imanari and Ken Ohka are now wrestling in the same matches to prepare for the Spirit Of Ganbare Title bout.

Pocchari Joshi has a new lease of life with the new additions of Maika Ozaki & Yappy to the brand. Yuna Manase now wants to gather together with them and test what they are made of against the regular Ganbare☆Joshi group.

Wrestlers advertised to appear include Tatsuhito Takaiwa, Tsuyoshi Okada, Naoya Nomura, Tyson Maeguchi and Ryuya Matsufusa.

7. Kumamoto Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada Vs HARASHIMA, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida

Yuki Ishida gets to be the homecoming hero taking on the might of BURNING. He has HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura backing him up so it won’t be a hopeless challenge for the youngster.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2022”, 01/06/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Yusuke Okada Vs Yuya Koroku
1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Battle Royal: Shinichiro Kawamatsu (c) (w/ Nobutatsu Suzuki) Vs Toru Owashi Vs Thanomusaku Toba Vs Antonio Honda Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Gota Ihashi

6. DDT Extreme Title: Yuki “Sexy” Iino (c) Vs AKIRA
7. DDT Universal Title: MAO (c) Vs Masahiro Takanashi

A warm up tag match for Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Kazusada Higuchi before “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022”. Higuchi’s comments on their match against the NOAH team shows he isn’t on the same page with BURNING at the moment. It’s not out of skill level or opinions on each other. More that he has his own idea of beating NOAH that doesn’t mix with how the other two think they can win.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GO GO DO IT” Results

May 5, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GO GO DO IT”, 05/05/2022
Osaka Edion Arena #2
348 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Yuki Aino defeated Haruna Neko with the Venus DDT (6:51).
2. Osaka Ultra Quiz Match: Hyper Misao (2) defeated Kaya Toribami (1) (10:24).
2a. Kaya Toribami (1) defeated Hyper Misao (0) with the answer “Kenchiki” (0:25).
2b. Hyper Misao (1) defeated Kaya Toribami (1) with the answer “Taro Okamoto” (7:34).
2c. Hyper Misao (2) defeated Kaya Toribami (1) with the answer “Abeno Harukas” (10:24).
3. Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta defeated Raku & Pom Harajuku when Kakuta pinned Harajuku with the Shiden Kai (8:40).
4. Yuna Manase defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the Lariat (7:02).
5. Saki Akai & Yuki Kamifuku defeated Miyu Yamashita & Miu Watanabe when Kamifuku pinned Watanabe with the Famouser (16:17).
6. Osaka Special 8-Woman Tag Match – Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls: Shoko Nakajima, Mizuki, Maki Itoh & Rika Tatsumi (2) defeated Yuki Arai, Suzume, Moka Miyamoto & Arisu Endo (0).
6a. Rika Tatsumi submitted Arisu Endo with the Dragon Sleeper (16:01).
6b. Shoko Nakajima pinned Yuki Arai with the Diving Senton (13:48).

A team of champions old and new achieved a clean sweep against the “1998 Class” of Tokyo Joshi Pro by winning two falls to zero in the main event. Rika Tatsumi stepped in for Yuka Sakazaki and scored the first fall by making Arisu Endo submit to the Dragon Sleeper. The 1998 Class scrambled to even the score in the second fall. Moka Miyamoto & Yuki Arai both went for Shoko Nakajima & Maki Itoh while Suzume & Endo targeted Mizuki. That backfired when Mizuki wiped out most of the opposition with a dive to the outside. Nakajima then finished things off by beating Arai with the Diving Senton. Nakajima said it wasn’t an easy victory but as long as she is the Princess Of Princess Champion she cannot afford to lose.

The tall ladies Saki Akai & Yuki Kamifuku were victorious over Momoiro Sparkling. The latter team attempted their new finisher Kick de Bakoon! on Kamifuku but Akai stopped the move from happening. Akai and Miyu Yamashita cancelled each other out with their kicks so it was up to Kamifuku to break the deadlock by pinning Miu Watanabe with the Famouser. Akai remembers the first time she met Kamifuku was at a DDT show when Kamifuku wasn’t even training to be a wrestler. She thought a pretty girl like her would make a good wrestler but was worried Kamifuku would get the same criticisms she got when she was a rookie. After today Akai has seen how much Kamifuku has improved since their last match together and would like to work with her again, either as a team or as opponents. She will continue looking over her like a sister living next door.

The quiz match between Hyper Misao and Kaya Toribami involved trivia about Osaka. The goal was to answer two questions correctly while they wrestled each other.
