BASARA “BASARA 306 ~UTAGE~” Results

May 1, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 306 ~UTAGE~”, 01/05/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Yasu Urano defeated Takeru Inoue with a Headlock (9:10).
2. Turnabout Pro Wrestling Trial: Ayato Yoshida defeated Banana Senga and Gouma Ryu (9:28).
3. SAGAT & Minoru Fujita defeated Isami Kodaka & Shuji Ishikawa when SAGAT pinned Ishikawa with the Gore Grind (11:47).
4. 4 Way Tag Match: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Tsutomu Oosugi defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Daichi Kazato, Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura and Lil’ Kraken & Akira Jo when Hiroshi pinned Kraken with the Perfect Plex (8:57).
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) defeated FUMA & Seiya Morohashi when Kamino pinned FUMA with the Lariat (18:50).
*V2 for Aijin Tag.

With a second successful title defence having just taken place, Aijin Tag are feeling like they are BASARA’s best team out there. They asked for any other teams to come out and challenge them when Yasu Urano appeared. Urano then called down Minoru Fujita to join him. They talked about the Fujita Pro Wrestling School Youtube channel that has been running for around six years now yet neither of them can really explain what the entire project is meant to be. If it’s a marketing brand then they need to promote it somehow and Urano thinks the best way to do that is turn the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles into the Fujita Pro Wrestling School Tag Team Titles. The two teams then got into a fight and while Aijin Tag came out on top, Urano & Fujita fled the ring with one of the tag title belts. They demanded to get a title match at 29th May, which Aijin Tag accepted.

Meanwhile FUMA & Seiya Morohashi began to blame each other backstage over losing in the main event. Morohashi thought FUMA could have finished the champions off if he had fought a little harder. FUMA suggested he could have been able to submit Takato Nakano or Masato Kamino if Morohashi did a better job of holding the other wrestler back. The two ended up challenging each other to a match on 29th May.

A regular Spear followed by the Gore Grind resulted in SAGAT scoring a surprise victory over Shuji Ishikawa. He quickly challenged him for the Union MAX Title on 29th May. Ishikawa accepted because he wants to get revenge on SAGAT for being the first person in BASARA to pin him for a three count.

It’s unusual to see a wrestler enter a Turnabout Pro Wrestling Trial for the second time and even more unusual when it happens in a short amount of time. Ayato Yoshida was back in the court room just over a month after his first appearance for the alleged crime of threatening Gouma Ryu somewhere in Tokyo on 30th April. He tried to grab the microphone from Banana Senga but unintentionally threw him down, adding a second charge to this trial. The witness was a referee who complained about Yoshida calling him shitty but Yoshida’s defence was to ask what is wrong with telling a referee he is crap at his job? Eventually everyone in the trial wanted to fight Yoshida but he easily defeated all of them at once to be proven Not Guilty. He continued to beat a few of them around the ring while he was leaving.

Mune Returning From Injury, Aniki Vs Toga, Hiroshi’s 15th Anniversary

April 13, 2026

I am making the (somewhat foolish) trip to Las Vegas this week to see Tokyo Joshi Pro amongst other wrestling shows (also Golden Knights ice hockey and a Battlebots taping of all things). Updates on here might get delayed while I’m over there but if I find time to write about them, it will show up eventually. Before I go there will be a DDT Around The World article coming up along with a guide for the TJPW Las Vegas show. They are both coming up tomorrow.

DDT “DREAM LIGHTS ~HOW DO YOU LIKE DDT WEDNESDAY~”, 15/04/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dramatic Dark Match: Ilusion Vs X
1. Jun Akiyama & Rukiya Vs Akito & Masami Inahata
2. 3 Way Tag Match: Kazuma Sumi & Yuni Vs Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata Vs Naomi Yoshimura & Kumadori
3. Special 8-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON, Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO) & Yuya Aoki Vs Shunma Katsumata, Junta Miyawaki, To-y & Yuki Ishida
4. Special Single Match: YOH Vs Antonio Honda
5. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) Vs Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Hinata Kasai
6. DDT Extreme Title – Hardcore Table Crash Match: Hideki Okatani (c) Vs Yukio Naya
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Yuki Iino

This is the match order for Wednesday’s DDT show in Korakuen Hall. At the moment it has not been announced who Ilusion will face in the dark match.

GANBARE☆PRO “HATAAGE 13TH ANNIVERSARY – MAD MAX 2026”, 29/04/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Munetatsu Nakamura, Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motoshima Vs Choun Shiryu, PSYCHO & Yuya Susumu
2. Moeka Haruhi Vs Ram Kaichow
3. YuuRI Vs Utami Hayashihita
4. Ken Ohka 25th Anniversary Match: Ken Ohka & Guts Ishijima Vs Masaaki Mochizuki & Ryota Nakatsu
5. Minoru Suzuki & Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Hideki “Shrek” Sekine & Akira Shoji
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga (c) Vs Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi
7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii

In good news, Munetatsu Nakamura has been cleared to return to the ring after spending the last three months recovering from a herniated cervical disc. Ganbare☆Pro has added him to their Korakuen show at the end of the month, putting him in the opener along with Choun Shiryu to even out the teams.

BASARA “BASARA 306 ~UTAGE~”, 01/05/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Turnabout Pro Wrestling Trial: Ayato Yoshida Vs Banana Senga Vs Gouma Ryu
2. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) Vs FUMA & Seiya Morohashi

The specter of Union Pro continues to hang over BASARA with the latest challengers approaching Aijin Tag. The duo of FUMA & Seiya Morohashi are the next team to challenge for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles.

Hang on we just had Ayato Yoshida on trial last month. What the hell kind of trouble has he gotten into this time?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND ’26”, 04/05/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Ryo Mizunami Vs Toga
2. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Haru Kazashiro

Yesterday Ryo Mizunami announced she has rejoined Sendai Girls after previously being affiliated with them from 2007-2012. If there was any worry that the news means she would no longer appear in TJPW anymore than fear not because she is showing up for Golden Week to have a singles match against Toga!

BASARA “TRANS-AM ★ HIROSHI GOLDEN 15TH ANNIVERSARY”, 15/05/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Kazuki Hirata Vs Daichi Kazato
2. Minoru Fujita & Antonio Honda Vs Isami Kodaka & Takumi Tsukamoto
3. MEN’S Teioh, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga Vs Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Takeru Inoue
4. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Ayumu Honda

I’m thinking over the fifteen years of Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi and wonder how things could have been if he never suffered that shoulder injury back in 2014. Back then DDT struck a deal with All Japan for AJPW to “rent” Hiroshi for six months. He then dislocated his shoulder right before he was supposed to start his AJPW excursion. When he recovered he got to do a handul of tours with them in 2015 and 2016 but it wasn’t anything worth talking about at the time. And then he made the switch from Americana pro wrestler into the yoga weirdo we see today. But he’s our yoga weirdo so it’s nice to see this milestone get celebrated. Whenever he hangs out with Ayumu Honda he always speaks on his behalf, often misinterpretating his promos. Honda will get a chance to shut him up on his special day.

One of Hiroshi’s influences is on the card. He has both fought and teamed with MEN’S Teioh several times back in Hiroshi’s Union Pro days.

BASARA “BASARA 304 ~TAKAGARI 34~” Results

April 4, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 304 ~TAKAGARI 34~”, 04/04/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Tsutomu Oosugi defeated Takeru Inoue with the Tsuki no Ishi (7:39).
2. Daichi Kazato Vs Masato Kamino ended in a Draw after a Double Backslide Pin (10:30).
3. Shuji Ishikawa & Banana Senga defeated Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura when Senga pinned Shimomura with the Koryu (11:57).
4. Ryota Nakatsu defeated Ryuma Sekimo with an Armbar (12:56).
5. Survival 4 Way Match: SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken defeated FUMA & Seiya Morohashi, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Ayumu Honda and Takato Nakano & Ayato Yoshida (19:35).
5a. FUMA & Seiya Morohashi eliminated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Ayumu Honda when Morohashi pinned Hiroshi with a Cradle (13:49).
5b. Takato Nakano & Ayato Yoshida eliminated FUMA & Seiya Morohashi when Nakano pinned Morohshi with the Kenkatabami (15:14).
5c. SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken eliminated Takato Nakano & Ayato Yoshida when SAGAT pinned Nakano with the Gore Grind (19:35).

The Super Family team of SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken got to build up some momentum for next week’s Iron Fist Tag Team Titles by winning a Survival 4 Way Match today. Takato Nakano took the last fall from SAGAT while his partner for the match Ayato Yoshida grew even more frustrated with having to deal with how weird a lot of the BASARA wrestlers are.

BASARA “BASARA 303 ~UTAGE~” Results

March 27, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 303 ~UTAGE~”, 27/03/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Kaji Tomato defeated Takeru Inoue with the Speed (8:18).
2. Turnabout Pro Wrestling Trial: Ayato Yoshida defeated Gouma Ryu and Banana Senga when Yoshida submitted Ryu and Senga with a Double Half Crab Hold (8:04).
3. The Outsider & Sumo Master defeated Master T & Judomaster when The Outsider pinned Judomaster with the V Slider (9:17).
4. SAGAT, Lil’ Kraken & Minoru Fujita defeated Daichi Kazato, Tsutomu Oosugi & Shuji Ishikawa when SAGAT pinned Kazato with the Gore Grind (11:31).
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura (c) when Nakano pinned Shimomura with the Takagari (20:08).
*Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura fail in V3. Aijin Tag become the 16th Iron Fist Tag Team Champions!

Aijin Tag have now become the three time Iron Fist Tag Team Champions but they already have their first challengers approaching. When Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino were celebrating their victory, SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken entered the ring to challenge them for the belts. It is SAGAT’s idea because Kraken had to remind him they already got a title shot back in January. Nakano told them they have no principles but SAGAT’s argument that if they were to just wait for another title shot it wouldn’t come. Aijin Tag accepted his reasoning and will put the titles on the line in Osaka on 12th April. Backstage Nakano told Kamino their next goal should be to break the record for most title defences because the teams that are on top of that list are freelancers like Speed Of Sounds and Astronauts. Nakano thinks a BASARA affiliated team like Aijin Tag deserves to hold the record instead!

Something unprecidented happened in regards to Match #3. Both Ryota Nakatsu and FUMA suddenly suffered from love sickness and had to pull out of the show at the last minute. BASARA were able to find some mysterious newcomers to fill in for the missing wrestlers. Judomaster was now teaming with Master T instead of FUMA and Yuki Ishida now had The Outsider as his partner. Ishida was angry over this turn of events because today was meant to be Harimao’s last appearance in BASARA as a unit. The remaining members Kazusada Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura came to the show to be in their corner. Ishida stormed out of the match and left The Outsider to fight by himself. But when things were going bad for The Outsider, he called for help from somebody named Sumo Master. And wouldn’t you know it, Sumo Master suddenly appeared and came to the rescue.

Ayato Yoshida was not a popular person in the court room today. Everyone was booing him and he didn’t put up much effort towards changing people’s minds. He was on trial for allegedly shouting verbal abuse towards Minoru Fujita. The defence provided by Gouma Ryu is that kind of behaviour is sometimes acceptable between pro wrestlers while they fight in the ring. However, Banana Senga had evidence that showed the nasty comments were made inside the locker room. Fujita was called up as a witness and he said Yoshida thinks of him like his junior which is why he treats him this way. Ryu gave up trying to defend Yoshida and teamed up with Senga to fight him. Yoshida easily beat the two of them and by winning the match he was acquitted of any wrong doing.

BASARA “BASARA 303 ~UTAGE~”, 27/03/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Turnabout Pro Wrestling Trial: Ayato Yoshida Vs Gouma Ryu Vs Banana Senga
2. Takeru Inoue Vs Kaji Tomato
3. Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida Vs FUMA & Judomaster

5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura (c) Vs Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino

Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi doesn’t appear to be available for the show. That means Judomaster gets called up for the first time in a while. Kaji Tomato is on the show too.

For the first time in 2026 BASARA will go back to the courtroom for a Turnabout Pro Wrestling trial. Ayato Yoshida will be stepping into stand as the defendant while Gouma Ryu and Banana Senga will argue their cases over him. What Yoshida is on trial for hasn’t been revealed yet.

DDT “DDT X MOP WRESTLE TOUR 2026 IN MITSUI OUTLET TAMA MINAMIOSAWA”, 28/03/2026
Tokyo Mitsui Outlet Park Tama Minamiosawa

1. MOP Tag Team Titles: X & X Vs X & X

A new business deal has been put together this year for DDT to hold wrestling shows at different Mitsui Outlet Park shopping centers. As part of this deal a new championship has been created to be exclusively defended at these shows. The inaugural MOP Tag Team Champions will be crowned at the first show being held at the end of the month. There will be at least two other shows as part of the tour happening in April.

DDT “DREAM LIGHTS ~HOW DO YOU LIKE DDT WEDNESDAY~”, 15/04/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dramatic Dark Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Ilusion
1. Special Single Match: YOH Vs Antonio Honda
2. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs X
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs X

One of the memorable interactions that happened at last year’s Toru Yano Vs Super Sasadango Machine one match show was Antonio Honda and YOH bonding over a Gongitsune joke. YOH has a hatred of foxes going back to when he was bitten by one as a child but Honda got him to join in with telling the joke. Now almost one year later they will meet in the ring again, this time one on one against each other in a wrestling match!

DDT “YAMADA SUISAN CO., LTD. PRESENTS GATHERING! THE THREE UNAGI SIBLINGS! ~IN ONE POND~”, 19/04/2026
Kagoshima Shibushi City “Unagi Station” Special Venue

1. Gathering! The Three Unagi Siblings! ~In One Pond~ Special 6-Man Tag Match: Unagi Mask, Super Unagi Mask & Unagi Mask Woman Vs Aja Kong, Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda

DDT also has their sponsorship with Yamada Suisan going on for another year. The seafood wrestling storyline has taken a turn with the appearance of Unagi Mask Woman. She was said to be just a Yamada Suisan employee who wanted to become a pro wrestler but the real story is that she, Unagi Mask and Super Unagi Mask are all siblings who spent their lives near each other without ever knowing about it! The family needs to be a united force because Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda have formed an alliance with Aja Kong to wipe out the sea food loving wrestlers!

“URANO EN 3” Results

February 24, 2026

“URANO EN 3”, 24/02/2025

9. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Fuminori Abe (2) defeated Ilusion (1) (10:00).
10. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ikuto Hidaka (0) Vs Ayato Yoshida (0) ended in a Draw (10:00).
11. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament – 3 Way Decision Match: Fuminori Abe defeated Yasu Urano and Ilusion when Abe pinned Urano with an Onryo Clutch (9:44).

Final Score

1. Yasu Urano (4)
-. Fuminori Abe (4)
-. Ilusion (4)
4. Ikuto Hidaka (3)
-. Ayato Yoshida (3)

Yasu Urano has been feeling ambitious lately. After holding two of his own shows last year built around multiple fall matches, he decided to hold a one day Iron Man round robin tournament. The theme was to include two wrestlers aged in their 50’s, two in their 30’s and one in his 20’s so the lineup became Urano (who had just turned 50 earlier this month), Ikuto Hidaka, Fuminori Abe, Ayato Yoshida and Ilusion. Every match in the round robin was a 10 minute Iron Man match with every winning fall scoring one point. At the end of tournament all of the match results were added up and the wrestler with the highest total score was the winner.

At the end of the round robin there was a three way tie for first place. Urano, Abe and Ilusion had all scored 4 falls in their matches while Hidaka and Yoshida were left with regret over ending the tournament in a 0-0 draw that put both of them out of the running. The ring announcer Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi revealed that a sudden death 3 Way Match would decided the winner of the tournament. With many three way spots and pin attempts tiring everybody out, Abe inadvertantly knocked out Ilusion with a Rabbit Punch aimed for Urano. That ended up working in Abe’s favour though because when he caught Urano in the Manjigatame, Ilusion wasn’t there to break the hold and Abe was free to turn it into a pinfall on Urano to be crowned the tournament winner.

7. Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs Yuki Arai, HIMAWARI & Toga

And then there’s the Tokyo Joshi Pro show over in Shoko Nakajima’s home area. Sadly she won’t have the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title with her anymore. She lost it to Shotzi Blackheart at the MLW taping over the weekend.

DDT “NEPPA OVER FLOWERS 5 ~THE ONLY SAUNA IN THE WORLD~”, 14/02/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Young Boy Akito Nishigaki Shinjuku FACE Debut Match: Young Boy Akito Nishigaki Vs Rukiya
2. Shinya Aoki Vs Hinata Kasai
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Brahman Shu, Brahman Kei & Brahman Sasaki Vs Yuya Koroku, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shin KONOSUKE TAKESHITA, MAO & Takeshi Masada Vs Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Koju Takeda
5. Ueno Nordic Presents Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Pokotan (w/ Chris Bathooks, Naya Tonttu & Sauna Stones・Den)
6. Special Single Match: Minoru Suzuki Vs To-y

A rib injury from over the weekend has taken Daichi Sato out of action for around at least a fortnight. He will miss the next three DDT shows which means he should be back sometime after 22nd February. Yuya Koroku replaces him on this show.

DDT “REMBRANDT HIGHWAY SERIES 2026 ~AYU COLISEUM IN ATSUGI~”, 15/02/2026
Kanagawa Rembrandt Hotel Atsugi Grand Banquet Sagami

1. Kazuki Hirata Vs Rukiya
2. Naomi Yoshimura & Yuni Vs Hideki Okatani & Ilusion
3. To-y, Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku Vs Yuki Ishida, Kazuma Sumi & Hinata Kasai
4. MAO, KANON & Yukio Naya (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Akito & Junta Miyawaki
5. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Jun Akiyama Vs Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda
6. O-40 Title – 4 Way Match: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs HARASHIMA Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga

The next day Sanshiro Takagi steps in to replace Sato in Match #4.

DDT “HYBRID PERFORMER 2026 ~KAISEI TAKECHI 2ND ANNIVERSARY~”, 22/02/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai Vs To-y, Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Yuni
2. Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Yukio Naya Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Ryoma Tsukamoto
3. DAMNATION T.A Vs Harimao!: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion Vs Naomi Yoshimura, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida
4. Special Tag Match: Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki Vs Yuya Koroku & Rukiya
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON & X (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Danshoku Dieno, Super Sasadango Machine & Akito
6. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – Final: Kazuma Sumi Vs Takeshi Masada
7. Kaisei Takechi 2nd Anniversary Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Kaisei Takechi

In the short history of the D GENERATIONS CUP we may get its first two-time winner. Takeshi Masada has a chance to win it a second time after being the first ever winner back in 2023. However Kazuma Sumi is riding a wave of momentum going into the final and seems to have more locker room support than the recently gone loner Masada.

Sumi being in the final rips apart my theory that he is the new member of Strange Love Connection.

Ryoma Tsukamoto makes an unexpected appearance to fill in for Daichi Sato.

Finally all four members of FANTÔMES DRAMATIC are all teaming together.

The match order outside of the main event has not been decided yet.

“URANO EN 3”, 24/02/2025
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi

1. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Yasu Urano Vs Fuminori Abe
2. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ikuto Hidaka Vs Ilusion
3. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Fuminori Abe Vs Ayato Yoshida
4. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Yasu Urano Vs Ilusion
5. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ikuto Hidaka Vs Ayato Yoshida
6. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Fuminori Abe Vs Ilusion
7. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Yasu Urano Vs Ayato Yoshida
8. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ikuto Hidaka Vs Fuminori Abe
9. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ayato Yoshida Vs Ilusion
10. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ikuto Hidaka Vs Yasu Urano

Something extra BASARA related with a little bit of DDT there too. Yasu Urano is putting together a one day Round Robin tournament between himself, Ikuto Hidaka, Ayato Yoshida, Fuminori Abe and Ilusion. Urano chose that lineup because he wanted two wrestlers in their 50s, two in their 30s and one in his 20s. But here’s the catch. Every match is an Iron Man match, ten in total!

DDT “KO KO! YOKOHAMA BATTLE 2026”, 28/02/2026
Kanagawa Radiant Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs Yuki Ishida

The aftermath of the DGC group stages left To-y in bad humour because Yuki Ishida was partially responsible for him failing to win the A Block. That then led to To-y bringing up the time Ishida got drunk on a night out and To-y had to pay his tab of 40,000 yen. He figured out a DDT Extreme Title match between the two can settle the matter. If To-y wins then not only does he defend his championship but Ishida will have to pay him back the 40,000 yen!

GANBARE☆PRO “KINKI CHIHO NO ARU BASHO NI TSUITE 2026”, 01/03/2026
Osaka Hirano Community Hall

1. Sentaro Motoshima Vs Sora Fujikawa
2. Moeka Haruhi & Fairy Nihonbashi Vs Kyusei Ninja Ranmaru & Hibiscus Mii

GANBARE☆PRO “NEW YEAR’S BLUES 2026”, 31/01/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Yumehito Imanari & Keisuke Ishii Vs Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu
2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Shinichiro Tominaga

Some real bad luck has come Munetatsu Nakamura’s way. He suffered a neck injury this week and was told by his doctor not to wrestle for the rest of the month. He won’t know if he can return to action in February until he gets a clearer diagnosis. Nakamura was meant to be the next challenger for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title at the end of January but that now cannot go ahead. Shinichiro Tominaga stepped forward to face Masaaki Mochizuki for the title instead.

That led to another change on the show, one that needed to be made anyway because of someone else. Tominaga was meant to be in a 6-Man Tag but he is now moved up to the main event. Another person who was meant to be part of the 6-Man Tag is Takuya Wada but he had to cancel his current bookings with Ganbare☆Pro because of family reasons. The 6-Man Tag has now been changed into a regular tag match with the remaining wrestlers involved.

BASARA “BASARA 298 ~10TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW~”, 31/01/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Daichi Kazato Vs Ayato Yoshida
2. GRACE PROJECT Offer Match: Tomoya Hirata, Captain Grace & Violento Jack Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga
3. Ryuichi Sekine, Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino Vs Ryota Nakatsu, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida
4. Isami Kodaka & Takeru Inoue Vs Minoru Fujita & Yasu Urano
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura (c) Vs SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken
6. Union MAX Title: Shuji Ishikawa (c) Vs FUMA

The mystery opponent for Daichi Kazato is going to be Ayato Yoshida. The two have often been linked up for Yoshida’s appearances in BASARA lately. If the match somehow gets cancelled before then, Kazato fears they won’t get another chance to reorganise it because of the snap elections in Japan’s House Of Representatives that are suddenly due to take place soon. He might be a little crazy but he thinks things are going to get even crazier over there.

BASARA “BASARA 297 ~UTAGE~” Results

January 16, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 297 ~UTAGE~”, 16/01/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takeru Inoue defeated Ryuma Sekimo with the Tiger Driver (9:09).
2. Ayumu Honda defeated Daichi Kazato with the Cross Armbreaker (8:50).
3. 3 Way Match: Tsutomu Oosugi (w/ Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi) defeated Ryota Nakatsu and Takato Nakano when Oosugi pinned Nakano with the Tsuki no Ishi (6:27).
4. SAGAT, Lil’ Kraken & Minoru Fujita defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, Daiki Shimomura & Banana Senga when Kraken pinned Shimomura with the period. (11:58).
5. Shuji Ishikawa & Yasu Urano defeated FUMA & Masato Kamino when Ishikawa pinned Kamino with the Running Knee Lift (15:49).

In the build up to Shuji Ishikawa defending the Union MAX Title against FUMA at the end of the month, Ishikawa won today’s tag match and warned he can get even better for the title match because he was fighting a fever this week going into today’s show. He promised to play “Union Rocker” again when he defends the title but FUMA said he will play the song instead when he wins the belt from Ishikawa!

Lil’ Kraken claims that the Dropkick he took from Daiki Shimomura at the start of the match was so strong it made him lose sight in one eye but he was able to get revenge in the end by beating him. He said the Super Family will win the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles on 31st January and will send the current champions to the depths of despair. SAGAT said they will win by any means necessary but they won’t cheat. Takumi Tsukamoto admitted neither he or Shimomura are rich people but their spirits are still high. They think of themselves as a high-end supermarket like Seijo Ishii (even though Tsukamoto admittedly shops at My Basket). So instead of falling down the depths of despair, the champions will instead ascend to BASARA heaven!

Match #3 was changed from a tag match into a 3 Way because Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi suffered from a case of gout in his leg and was unable to wrestle. He originally told the others to do a 2 Vs 1 Match instead but Tsutomu Oosugi got mad at having to fight the other team by himself. Ryota Nakatsu and Takato Nakano kept targeting him anyway but Hiroshi interfered to help Oosugi win the match.

Daichi Kazato wanted to announce who his mystery opponent would be on 31st January. Ayato Yoshida’s music played on the speakers as the reveal but Kazato didn’t recognise it. He needed Ayumu Honda to tell him who it was based on the song. When Honda said it belongs to Yoshida, Kazato told him he doesn’t know who that is and left the ring while the song played again. Kazato took the announcement a bit more seriously backstage, saying this may be the only opportunity to do this match before the snap election in the House Of Representatives takes place and Japanese society gets even crazier.

At the start of the show Isami Kodaka confirmed he is returning from his absence on 31st January for BASARA’s 10th Anniversary show.

*V2 for Ryota Nakatsu.

It has been just under one year since BASARA last held a show at Korakuen Hall. Now under new management, today’s show is the next chapter for the company. Even though they did not announce an attendance number, the word going around from them and wrestling reporters is this was the biggest crowd they have ever had! The new president Ryota Nakatsu credited everyone involved with the show from those signed with the company to those who wrestle freelance for all of the hard work they did to promote it. The next goal Nakatsu has in mind is to sell enough tickets to open up the north side of Korakuen and then fill that up too. He also promised to openly talk about the positives and negatives happening in BASARA because there is no point in a company like this trying to look cool.

In the main event Nakatsu defeated the new sales manager Takumi Tsukamoto in his first defence of the Union MAX Title. Nakatsu said it felt amazing for both of them to be BASARA’s main focus today. Tsukamoto agreed and is a litle worried he may have lost his mind during the match because it felt so good. Nakatsu then promoted the next show on 20th August until he was interrupted by Daichi Kazato and Ayato Yoshida. Kazato climbed the turnbuckle and held onto a large rubber strap. Yoshida then pulled the strap back and snapped it back into Kazato’s face. Nakatsu was confused until Kazato explained that is his way of challenging him for the MAX Title.

Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA named themselves Hyakusho Ikki because they wanted to defend the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles a hundred times. They couldn’t even make it to three. Instead Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda are the new champions after Honda made FUMA submit to the Jumping Armbar. FUMA later told Sekine that they were sent back down to rock bottom but that just means it’s time to start preparing for the next harvest. The challengers brought along Naka Shuma and Kyu Mogami to be their cornermen because all four of them are part of a unit in 2AW called MJ2. But when Mashimo & Honda won the titles Honda (through Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi) told Shuma & Mogami that they weren’t needed anymore! Backstage Shuma & Mogami said it’s boring to just be cornermen so they decided maybe they will come liven up BASARA too!

The first appearance of El Desperado in BASARA had a little extra backstory to it involving one of his opponents. Masato Kamino took the New Japan entrance exam back in October 2012 where he gave up on the test halfway through. But he remembers the sight of Kyosuke Mikami watching him in the crowd that day. They were opponents today with Desperado teaming up with Isami Kodaka while Kamino was part of the Aijin Tag with Takato Nakano. Desperado ended up winning when he gave Nakano the Reverse Tiger Driver followed by the Pinche Loco. Desperado praised his opponents and would like for more fans to discover them. He thinks Aijin Tag would even win over NJPW fans if they were to ever wrestle over there. Kodaka said he would love to team with Desperado again because it would be a shame for them to stop after just one match. Nakano said it was a dream come true to fight a New Japan champion because his mother loves NJPW. His next dream is to beat El Desperado! Kamino called this match a milestone in his life and he will be starting again from here. Aijin Tag are now thinking about entering a Jr. Tag tournament to make a new impact.
