September 25, 2026

GANBARE☆PRO “SAITAMA TOKOROZAWA PARK TOWN SHOPPING STREET BOX OFFICE”, 26/09/2026

1. Shuichiro Katsumura & YuuRI Vs Shin Suzuki & Moeka Haruhi
2. Takuya Wada Vs Shota Kawakami
3. Shigehiro Irie & Sentaro Motojima Vs Yasu Urano & Fuminori Abe
4. Minoru Suzuki, Ken Ohka & Mizuki Watase Vs Keisuke Ishii, Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga

There is light rain forecast in Saitama tomorrow but this outdoor show is expected to go ahead as planned. Should the weather become more severe than expected there is a chance Ganbare☆Pro could cancel it.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHINJUKU FACE COUNTDOWN SERIES – I WON’T CRY THERE’S NO WAY I WILL CRY”, 27/09/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. 3 Way Match: Mizuki Vs Raku Vs Pom Harajuku
2. Shinjuku FACE Memorial 6-Woman Tag Match: Hyper Misao, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami Vs Mahiro Kiryu, Toga & Kira Summer
3. Shoko Nakajima Vs Momo Sato
4. HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida Vs Ren Konatsu & Shion Kanzaki
5. Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Sakura Hattori Vs Yuki Aino, Haru Kazashiro & Chika Nanase
6. Yuki Kamifuku Vs Wakana Uehara
7. CASPA Presents Tag Match: Yuki Arai & Miyu Yamashita Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo

The last Tokyo Joshi Pro event in Shinjuku FACE is also the go home show for “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII”. This is the last chance for the two Daisy Monkey wrestlers to get everything in place for their title matches. Suzume thinks she almost has Yuki Arai figured out. Can’t quite say the same for Arisu Endo in regards to Miyu Yamashita at the moment though. That Tokyo Princess Cup match from last year is drifting further and further away as time moves on.

Nothing solves problems in a relationship better than throwing a ninja into them mix, that’s what I always say.

Only seven out of the eight teams were revealed when I posted about the IRON FIST Tag Tournament yesterday but the final team has been added since then. The odd couple of Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida completes the field.

1. Shoko Nakajima & Pokotan Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Zac (Battle Mode)

I’m not a pet owner so how does one exactly unlock a Battle Mode for their dog? Yuki Kamifuku has brought her beloved Zac into the wrestling ring a few times before but not to actually wrestle in a match!

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO MINEL VATON SAGA ’23” Results

September 17, 2023

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO MINEL VATON SAGA ’23”, 17/09/2023
Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall
151 Fans

1. Alex Lee defeated Echika Miyabi with the Vinco Plex (8:26).
2. Miyako Matsumoto & Kaho Kobayashi defeated Sumire Natsu & Riara when Kobayashi pinned Riara with the Fisherman Suplex (15:01).
3. Ice Ribbon Offer Match: Ibuki Hoshi defeated Arisa Shinose with a Diving Body Press (7:48).
4. Tomoka Inaba & Azusa Inaba defeated Miyuki Takase & Yoshiko Hasegawa when Tomoka pinned Hasegawa with the Inaba Otoshi (17:00).
5. Special Single Match: Haruka Umesaki defeated YuuRI with the German Suplex (15:54).

On the hunt to win a championship again, YuuRI set her sights on Haruka Umesaki who currently holds the WWWD Single Title in her home promotion called Diana. A non-title match was put together here in Ganbare☆Joshi, giving YuuRI the home field advantage. However Umesaki won the match clean and decisively. She said she always wanted to wrestle YuuRI and was glad it happened. YuuRI told her she isn’t giving up her quest to win the WWWD Title from her and some day she will surpass her! According to Umesaki, she will go consult with Diana to put together a title match if everybody wants it to happen.

A reunion for Miyuki Takase & Yoshiko Hasegawa brought the two together for a tag match against the Inaba Sisters from JTO. The visitors won the match, leaving Hasegawa feeling dejected. She wasn’t able to win even when she had Takase’s help. Takase encouraged her to keep working hard and together they will get Hasegawa her first direct win. Both Tomoka Inaba & Azusa Inaba believe they were able to show momentum for their first appearance as a team in GanJo.

The last time the ICEx∞ Title was in GanJo it was YuuRI’s championship. It now belongs to Ibuki Hoshi and she brought it with her for the Ice Ribbon offer match against Arisa Shinose.

The Hostess Tag Team has now reached a crossroads. They lost to Miyako Matsumoto & Kaho Kobayashi in a match where everybody was accusing each other of getting plastic surgery. Sumire Natsu & Riara have teamed up three times now and haven’t won once. Natsu thinks Riara needs to change her focus to what’s in front of her instead of worrying about getting their tag team over with the fans. She’s going to help her any way that she can so they will some day drink celebretory champagne together for winning a match.

Echika Miyabi’s match with Alex Lee was put together to celebrate Miyabi’s one year anniversary of her debut match. Miyabi’s first pro wrestling bout took place on 14th September last year.

The GanJo GM Yuna Manase gave everyone an update on her injury recovery. She’s at the point now where she can walk around in heels again.

Itoh’s Return From USA, Two Sisters Visit GanJo, Next Baka Gaijin Card, SOG Tag Title Rematch

September 6, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’23 ~RIKA TATSUMI LOCAL TRIUMPH~”, 16/09/2023
Nagano Kissei Bunka Hall Middle Hall

1. Mahiro Kiryu Vs Toga
2. 3 Way Match: Pom Harajuku Vs Haruna Neko Vs Shino Suzuki
3. Suzume & Arisu Endo Vs Kaya Toribami & Haru Kazashiro
4. Maki Itoh vs HIMAWARI

7. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe Vs Miyu Yamashita & Hyper Misao

The return of Maki Itoh to Tokyo Joshi Pro from her latest American adventure sees her take on HIMAWARI first and foremost. Aja Kong is also back to say hello to everyone by bashing a steel can over their heads.

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO MINEL VATON SAGA ’23”, 17/09/2023
Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall

1. Ice Ribbon Offer Match: Ibuki Hoshi Vs Arisa Shinose
2. Alex Lee Vs Echika Miyabi
3. Sumire Natsu & Riara Vs Miyako Matsumoto & Kaho Kobayashi
4. Miyuki Takase & Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs Tomoka Inaba & Azusa Inaba
5. YuuRI Vs Haruka Umesaki

The next Ganbare☆Joshi features a tag team of sisters for the first time. Tomoka Inaba & Azusa Inaba from JTO are sisters and they get to team together on a GanJo event before Yuna Manase & Ami Manase can.

There were a few times around five years ago when Kaho Kobayashi wrestled on Ganbare☆Pro shows. This will be her first time in GanJo.

Ibuki Hoshi shows up in GanJo for the first time since winning the ICEx∞ Title from YuuRI. Hopefully there’s no hard feelings between them.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. EIGHT: THE DIRECTOR’S CUT”, 20/09/2023
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. Special Single Match: Yoshihiko Vs Antonio Honda
2. Special Single Match: Mecha Mummy (w/ Mad Dr. Ueki) Vs HARASHIMA
3. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi Vs MAO & Chie Koishikawa

The high energy tag team of MAO & Chie Koishikawa faces their biggest challenge yet. What ideas can they think of against CDK?

Mad Dr. Ueki is busy reprogramming Mecha Mummy to take on the mighty force that is HARASHIMA. No amount of feeding VHS tapes to Mummy will make up for all of the training HARASHIMA does to keep himself in top condition.

After getting thrown out of a window by Chris Brookes on the last show, Yoshihiko gets a less violent opponent on this show. Although I do remember that time Antonio Honda burst Yoshihiko’s head open with a basic Knee Drop.

GANBARE☆PRO “GIRI GIRI CHOP! 2023”, 01/10/2023
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Loser Haircut Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Shota Vs Koji Doi & Kuma Arashi
2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shuichiro Katsumura & Takuya Wada (c) Vs Hikaru Sato & Tyson Maeguchi
3. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Yumehito Imanari

Former champions Hentai Punch Drunkers get a rematch with Ground Absolute for the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles. If Punch Drunkers ever become the champions again they will get to hold the physical title belts that never existed during their first reign.
