5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Ippanjin Munenori Sawa & Fuminori Abe defeated Brahman Koji, Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei when Takagi pinned Kei with the Stone Cold Stunner (12:58).
6. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata defeated CIMA with the Back Drop Hold (18:05).

Some little known history between Yuji Nagata and CIMA was revisited for the main event of the latest Super Japan show. When CIMA was only two months into his pro wrestling career he apparently had a WCW match with Nagata inside the Universal Studios that held tapings at the time. He stuck around for a while to be Nagata’s weight training partner until their paths split off. Today, 19 years later they had their rematch. Nagata entered the ring with the amateur parody wrestler Ujikoji Nagata alongside him but the match with CIMA was played completely straight. CIMA targeted Nagata’s left leg before moving up to his big moves but Nagata kicked out of the Swan Dive Meteroa. In return, Nagata gave CIMA an Exploder Suplex, a Running Knee Strike and then the Back Drop Hold to get the pinfall.

Nagata said CIMA is completely different from how he was 29 years ago and he now understands how many tough battles he has gone through. CIMA pointed out that Shinjuku FACE will be closing down soon but his battle with Nagata is not over. He wants to have another rematch in 30 years time when he is 79 and Nagata will be 88! After CIMA left the ring, Nagata wanted to talk to someone else so he called for Satoshi Kojima to come face him. Nagata then revealed that his contract with New Japan was supposed to end in 2024 which is why Sanshiro Takagi chose him to be the ace of Super Japan. Plans changed and New Japan extended his deal but Nagata is still proud of the work he is doing here. He doesn’t appreciate Kojima suddenly popping up in Super Japan and be paid for acting like he can do whatever he wants! Kojima said ever since 2013 he’s been constantly DM’ing Takagi about working with him for whatever ideas they can come up with so he hasn’t come to Super Japan for the money. Takagi and Masayuki Uchida both stepped in to tell Nagata and Kojima they should wrestle each other at the next Super Japan show scheduled for Shinjuku FACE on 28th September, two days before the venue closes down for good. Uchida in particular loves the idea and thinks it is a match that can only happen in Super Japan. Takagi is even going far enough to call it a battle between Super Japan and New Japan!

Maybe Nagata had a point about Kojima not taking Super Japan seriously because Kojima showed up for his match acting like one of The Brahman Brothers! He appeared in full Brahman gear and that included a large patch stuck over his head to make his hair resemble a skullet. It appeared that Brahman Koji was brainwashed into acting this way and he joined along with the usual messy Brahman spots. He even drooled out orange coloured goo from his mouth after he took damage from Munenori Sawa & Fuminori Abe. Kojima finally snapped out of it when Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei both accidentally threw powder into his face. Next thing they knew, Kojima was knocking them down with Lariats and allowing Sanshiro Takagi to give them Stunners before stacking them up for the victory. The Brahmans had lost Brahman Koji today but they can just go find another new member to join them and make summer memories together.

Somehow Ken Ohka got busted open really heavily at the start of his match after Hayabusa got him with a Topé Con Hilo. While Ohka showed some fighting spirit by continuing on, he eventually fell to Hayabusa’s Firebird Splash. Hayabusa had heard about Ohka’s request to fight him so he asked him how he felt after the match? Ohka said he will be turning 49 this year. He ran away from a wrestling dojo in his mid-twenties but he was eventually forgiven and he worked hard to establish Ganbare☆Pro. He has proved that despite having negative experiences, a 49 year old like him can still get married and have three kids by working hard. So if Hayabusa also has a dream then he shouldn’t give up either.

There is a follow up to Kota Ibushi’s sudden appearance at the previous Super Japan show but it is going in a completely different direction. Mac Matsushita lost his fight against Thanomsak Toba but later joined up with him, Ibushi and Tyson Maeguchi backstage to announced that Matsushita has now joined the Ibushi Wrestling Institute! Takagi gave his endorsement to the move meaning that Matsushita is now no longer exclusive to just wrestling on Super Japan shows.

The return of the Unpaid Rumble had a few actual professional wrestlers sneaking into it. Takagi and Shota were already advertised for it pretty much to oversee all of the amateur and parody gimmicks filling up the ring. However Mio Shirai appeared as one of the early entrants and the biggest surprise of all was Daisuke Sekimoto showing up to clear out whoever was left and then win the whole thing! Unfortunately he didn’t realise until afterwards that entries for the match was on a volunteer only basis so he wasn’t going to be paid for anything. His prize for winning is an offer to participate in future Super Japan shows also for free. Sekimoto said he will consider it.

DDT “CHARISMANIA IV” Results

July 2, 2026

DDT “CHARISMANIA IV”, 02/07/2026
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Yasu Urano & Sangre Azteca Jr. defeated Naohiro Katsumi & Yunicaras Jr. (w/ Sumicaras) when Urano submitted Katsumi with a Side Headlock and Azteca submitted Yunicaras with the Atlantida (12:23).
2. Special Single Match: Ryunosuke Nagai defeated MJ Paul with the Spear (9:07).
3. Fake Brahman Army Vs Mataro Army All-Out Confrontation: Fake Brahman Yuki, Fake Brahman Yuki & Fake Brahman Yuki Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Takayuki Ueki & Takeshi Masada (w/ Mataro) ended in a No Contest (13:10).
4. Special Tag Match: Ayato Ishida & Gabai Ji-chan defeated Minoru Fujita & Ilusion when Ji-chan pinned Ilusion with an Inside Cradle (14:20).
5. DDT Extreme Title – Barbed Wire Board Crash Match: Hideki Okatani (c) Vs Yuko Miyamoto ended in a Draw after a Double Barbed Wire Board Crash (14:30).
*V3 for Hideki Okatani.
6. O-40 Title – 3 Way Match: Daisuke Sasaki (c) defeated Shuji Ishikawa and Keisuke Ishii when Sasaki submitted Ishii with La Mistica Crossover Face Lock (14:54).
*V2 for Daisuke Sasaki.

At the age of 40 years old Daisuke Sasaki is having a highlight year of his career. He toured North America, competed at this year’s Best Of The Super Jr. tournament and will be teaming with DOUKI at Sumo Hall in a few months time. But maybe most important of all, Sasaki is taking the O-40 Title to new heights and actually got a title defence to be the main event of his annual “CHARISMANIA” show. His challengers in the 3 Way Match are both very familiar with him either as friends or regular opponents in the past. There were spots when Sasaki would team up with Shuji Ishikawa or Keisuke Ishii to beat up on the other but the match broke down into a free for all. Ishikawa came close to using the Splash Mountain on Sasaki but he rolled out of it and Ishii came in to hit the Kneel Kick. Sasaki then knocked Ishii into the referee so he could Low Blow him without it being seen. The plan worked and Sasaki went on to submit Ishii with La Mistica Crossover Face Lock for the win.

Sasaki was likely in a good mood over the result which would explain why he threw compliments at Ishii after the match. He is surprised that Ishii can still do the crazy moves he used to do in his 20s and 30s and he told Ishii to keep doing them until he reaches his 60s. Sasaki then talked to Ishikawa about them forming the original DAMNATION 10 years ago. The memories made Ishikawa want to sing but Sasaki stopped him so he could change the subject to Shinjuku FACE’s upcoming closure. Sasaki worries with the venue going away there might not be a place left for him to do crazy things. However he will still hang around Kabukicho until he his 105 years old and there will probably be a new Shinjuku FACE established by then. As for the next “CHARISMANIA” show, Sasaki is considering the Nippon Budokan or the Tokyo Dome but he hasn’t made a decision yet.

Hideki Okatani also earned a successful title defence for his DDT Extreme Title match but only just. Sasaki invited Yuko Miyamoto to challenge Okatani for the belt so Okatani decided they would have a Barbed Wire Board Crash match. The reason is because the last time they fought each other in 2023, Miyamoto put Okatani through a table. With revenge on his mind Okatani tried to put Miyamoto through the board. Miyamoto gave him a Power Bomb onto it but it was lying flat on the ring canvas at the time so couldn’t break. The board was then balanced over some chairs and Okatani tried to Dropkick Miyamoto onto it but he backflipped over the board and cleared it instead. With things at a stalemate, both men wrapped strands of barbed wire around their head and Headbutted each other. They then fought up to the aisle where the board was placed below them and they both knocked each other down, crashing through it. The match was ruled a draw which counts as a successful defence for Okatani. He still didn’t beat Miyamoto though. He said three years ago Miyamoto put him through the table and today Okatani defended the Extreme Title against him. So in six years time they will have another rematch so Okatani can finally beat Miyamoto!

Before Okatani could leave the ring, Yuki Ishida charged in screaming about how much he wants to change himself. He’s going to change by challenging for the Extreme Title! Okatani kicked Ishida down and told him he hasn’t changed anything about himself. He also doesn’t have anything to lose. Ishida said he isn’t doing to half-heartedly so to prove it he will put his hair on the line! Okatani remembered Ishida is a former sumo wrestler which means his hair does actually have some value. He accepted the challenge but only to make the match Title Vs Hair. Okatani won’t put his own hair on the line because the Extreme Title by itself is worth about the same as Ishida’s hair.

Ilusion found out the hard way that when you grab hold of Gabai Ji-chan’s walking cane it transfers his age over to you. Ilusion held onto it and became too decrepit to defend himself. Ji-chan then kicked the cane so it flicked in between Ilusion’s legs to make him crotch himself. He couldn’t kick out of the Inside Cradle after that. Ayato Yoshida did not fall for the same fate because he simply kicked Ji-chan’s cane away for heel heat at the start of the match despite being his tag partner. The cane was also used to block Minoru Fujita’s Swanton Bomb.

The real Brahman Brothers were not available to be at the show so a fake band of them appeared instead. The Bramhmans that looked sort of like Yuki Ueno, Yuki Iino & Yuki Ishida caused the same kind of havoc as the originals. They tortured their opponents until Takayuki Ueki pulled out his pistol and demanded to know if they got permission to use the gimmick. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi then tried using the power of his singing to change them back to normal. The Fake Brahmans fought back and targeted Takeshi Masada until all of a sudden Mataro appeared dressed as Frieza! One by one he attacked his opponents but also took out his allies by accident. More disgusting looking Brahman spots happened and once Yukinoru Matsui got pulled into them, he called off the match and declared it a No Contest.

MJ Paul met his match and suffered an upset defeat at the hands of Ryunosuke Nagai. Paul thought he had things under control and turned his back to climb the ropes for the Reverse Splash. He never expected Nagai would get up and give him a Power Bomb from the corner. Paul tried fighting back and kicked out of one Spear but Nagai finished him off with a second.

The opening match was held under Lucha Libre rules. Yasu Urano & Sangre Azteca Jr. took it upon themselves to be the rudos by trying to rip off the bags masks of Yunicaras Jr. and also Sumicaras. They got the win when Azteca lifted Yunicaras up for the Atlantida submission hold. He did the move running around the ring while Urano made Naohiro Katsumi give up to a Side Headlock.

June 19, 2026

Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall

1. Yuki Ishida Vs Hinata Kasai

5. Special Single Match: Takeshi Masada Vs Viento Levante
6. The 37KAMIINA Vs FANTÔMES DRAMATIC!: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda

This is the match order for tomorrow’s DDT show in Osaka. It will be the last warm up match for The 37KAMIINA and FANTÔMES DRAMATIC before Sunday’s KO-D Tag Team Titles match.

DDT “OWARI WARS 2026”, 21/06/2026
Aichi Chunichi Hall & Conference

1. Akito Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Special Tag Match: Shunma Katsumata & Kumadori Vs Yuni & Yuki Ishida
3. Jun Akiyama & Rukiya Vs Naomi Yoshimura & Masami Inahata
4. Special 10-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON, Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante Vs Toru Owashi, Danshoku Dieno, Super Sasadango Machine, Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda
5. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & Ilusion
6. DDT Extreme Title – Hardcore I Quit Match: Hideki Okatani (c) Vs Junta Miyawaki
7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA (c) Vs Yuki Ueno & To-y

And the KO-D Tag Title match gets the main event spot over the DDT Extreme Title bout on Sunday.

DDT “KING OF KINGS ~TENKA TAIRAN~”, 28/06/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Junta Miyawaki & Viento Levante Vs Akito & Miles Karu
1. The 37KAMIINA Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs KANON & Yuki Iino (w/ KIMIHIRO)
2. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion
3. Soma Takao Comeback Match: Soma Takao & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato Vs Kazuma Sumi, Yuni & Kumadori
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata Vs Jun Akiyama, Rukiya & Masami Inahata
6. No Referee Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs MAO
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Shinya Aoki

During the week MAO ran over Sanshiro Takagi in a van for the fourth time in six years. The officiating whenever that happens during matches leaves a lot to be desired and Takagi has lost all faith in the DDT referees ever doing anything about it. So for Takagi’s upcoming match with MAO in Korakuen Hall there will not be any referees involved at all! Instead it will be up to the audience to count the pinfalls in unison and if the majority get to three in sync, that will decide the winner. Other than that the match will be No DQ and have no countouts. We cannot trust a room of 1,000 people to all be able to count up to 20 by themselves at the same time without the proper guidance present.

GANBARE☆PRO “ENTER THE VOID 2026”, 04/07/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Yumehito Imanari, Shinichiro Tominaga & Sentaro Motoshima Vs Shigehiro Irie, YuuRI & Shota Kawakami
2. Munetatsu Nakamura Vs Baliyan Akki
3. Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu Vs Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki
4. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi (c) Vs Ken Ohka & Guts Ishijima
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) Vs SUSHI

SUSHI last wrestled for Ganbare☆Pro in April and was led to believe he would be booked for more shows with the promotion. That never happened and he’s been left out in the cold until he appeared at the most recent show demanding an explanation while pleading for a booking. Nobody expected he would be getting a Spirit Of Ganbare World Title shot out of it. Mizuki Watase doesn’t appreciate his bosses not living up to any promises they make to others so he agreed to wrestle SUSHI and put his championship on the line.

Watase’s decision to do that match has pushed back his plan to challenge The Deadlock for the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles. That gives Ken Ohka & Guts Ishijima the chance to step in and grab the shot for themselves.

SUPER JAPAN “BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING”, 06/07/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Unpaid Rumble RETURNS!: X Vs X
2. Special Single Match: MBM Vs Miles Karu
3. 3 Minute 5 Round Match: Thanomsak Toba Vs Mac Matsushita
4. Special Tag Match: Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Saito Vs Gym Trainer Kotoka & Marika Kobashi
5. Special Single Match: Ken Ohka Vs Hayabusa
6. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs CIMA
7. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Brahman Koji, Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Ippanjin Munenori Sawa & Fuminori Abe

Now it’s Satoshi Kojima’s turn to become a Brahman Brother for a day.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26”, 18/07/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shin Sakura Katsushika Hirota, HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida Vs Raku, Pom Harajuku & Chika Nanase
2. Aja Kong Vs Arisu Endo
3. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Wakana Uehara
4. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
5. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

It’s a match made in heaven for Sakura Hirota’s debut in Tokyo Joshi Pro. Throw her in there with Raku & Pom Harajuku then watch the magic happen. Given her talents when it comes to impersonating wrestlers, Hirota could show up as any of the other wrestlers in the match. She can get a yarn wig for HIMAWARI, ruffle some newspaper pages together to make Mifu Ashida’s pom-poms or cover herself in orange wallpaper in order to become Chika Nanase.

DDT “YUKI UENO 10TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW -IN MY MIND “10”-”, 13/09/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yuki Ueno 10th Anniversary Match ~ Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Shunma Katsumata

DDT’s current No. 1 celebrates his first decade of wrestling later this September. Yuki Ueno already revealed he wants his match on the show to involved Shunma Katsumata and we now know it’s going to be a singles bout between the two of them.

Hardcore I Quit Match, Mataro Trying To Escape Retirement, Up Town In Super Japan

5. Special Single Match: Shunma Katsumata Vs Junta Miyawaki
6. Falls Count Anywhere 4 Way Tag Match: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA Vs Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Jun Akiyama Vs MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO)

Tomorrow’s Beer Garden show is going to end in chaos with the Falls Count Anywhere match being placed in the main event.

DDT “OWARI WARS 2026”, 21/06/2026
Aichi Chunichi Hall & Conference

1. Akito Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Jun Akiyama & Rukiya Vs Naomi Yoshimura & Masami Inahata
3. Special Tag Match: Shunma Katsumata & Kumadori Vs Yuni & Yuki Ishida
4. Special 10-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON, Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante Vs Toru Owashi, Danshoku Dieno, Super Sasadango Machine, Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda
5. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & Ilusion
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA (c) Vs Yuki Ueno & To-y
7. DDT Extreme Title – Hardcore I Quit Match: Hideki Okatani (c) Vs Junta Miyawaki

A Hardcore I Quit Match is the stipulation chosen by Hideki Okatani for the DDT Extreme Title bout. He chose the rule because he wants to make Junta Miyawaki quit right in front of him. Making the opponent say “I quit” or something similar like “I surrender” will end the match. If a situation occurs where the wrestler becomes too injured to speak, the referee is allowed to end the match by TKO.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ FINAL”, 27/06/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Arisu Endo & Shion Kanzaki Vs Toga & Uta Takami
2. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs HIMAWARI & Kira Summer
3. Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Mahiro Kiryu & Mifu Ashida
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Sakura Hattori Vs YuuRI & Chika Nanase
5. Mizuki Vs Ren Konatsu
6. Yuki Arai, Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Suzume Vs Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Wakana Uehara

YuuRI is popping by Tokyo Joshi Pro again, this time to team up with Chika Nanase instead of fighting her.

DDT “DDT X GRAND HAMMER STREET WRESTLING SHOWDOWN AT SHIMBASHI BUSHO YOKOCHO”, 27/06/2026
Tokyo Grand Hammer

1. Falls Count Anywhere Tag Match: Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata Vs Shunma Katsumata & Yuni
2. Falls Count Anywhere 6-Man Tag Match: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato Vs Yukio Naya, Yuki Ishida & Masami Inahata
3. Falls Count Anywhere Special 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Minoru Suzuki & To-y Vs Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda Vs MAO, KANON & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO)

Three street wrestling matches are planned to take place including one with Minoru Suzuki teaming up with The 37KAMIINA.

DDT “CHARISMANIA IV”, 02/07/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Single Match: MJ Paul Vs Ryunosuke Nagai
2. Fake Brahman Army Vs Mataro Army All-Out Confrontation: Fake Brahman Yuki, Fake Brahman Yuki & Fake Brahman Yuki Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Takayuki Ueki & Takeshi Masada (w/ Mataro)
3. Special Tag Match: Minoru Fujita & Ilusion Vs Ayato Ishida & Gabai Ji-chan
4. O-40 Title – 3 Way Match: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa Vs Keisuke Ishii

As if having the illustrious O-40 Title being defended on the show isn’t enough, we’re getting a major 6-Man Tag Match with super important stakes being applied to it. Mataro is the luckless member of DDT’s video team that constantly gets dragged into a DAMNATION T.A match whenever Daisuke Sasaki gets to put together a show. Mataro ended up having to wrestle in some of these matches and then retire from wrestling due to losing a stipulation. Now he is getting the opportunity to cancel that retirement because if his team can beat the Fake Brahman Brothers (think of all the DDT wrestlers named Yuki and you can guess who they are) he gets to return to wrestling again!

SUPER JAPAN “BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING”, 06/07/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Unpaid Rumble RETURNS!: X Vs X
2. Special Single Match: MBM Vs Miles Karu
3. Thanomsak Toba Vs Mac Matsushita
4. Special Tag Match: Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Saito Vs Gym Trainer Kotoka & Marika Kobashi
5. Special Single Match: Ken Ohka Vs Hayabusa
6. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs CIMA

I haven’t been paying attention to Up Town but Kuroshio TOKYO Japan has been quietly building up a neat little roster for himself over there. When he launched the promotion he said he wanted it to be like a small ramen shop that attracts a long line and that just sounds like a lovely place to carve out for himself in the wrestling world. Saito is one of the new wrestlers to debut from Up Town and she is making her Super Japan debut here. Despite having less than a year of experience she is actually pretty active thanks to working on Ice Ribbon and WAVE shows in between Up Town events.

The match between Thanomsak Toba and Mac Matsuhita will be held under the rounds system with five rounds lasting three minutes each being the plan.

Some international action on the undercard with MBM from Belgium taking on Miles Karu from Malaysia.

SUPER JAPAN “A PRO WRESTLING SHOW WITHOUT A NAME” Results

May 27, 2026

SUPER JAPAN “A PRO WRESTLING SHOW WITHOUT A NAME”, 27/05/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Shota defeated Miles Karu with the Frog Splash (7:23).
2. Special Single Match: Pero Pero Oyakata defeated Da Pump Matsumoto with the Ultimate Pero Pero Driver (7:58).
3. Marika Kobashi & Matsuzawa-san defeated Non Toraga & Riara when Kobashi pinned Riara with the Sliding Guillotine (9:56).
4. Ken Ohka & Mac Matsushita defeated Thanomsak Toba & Hyo Ogawa when Ohka pinned Ogawa with the Spear Of Flame (9:21).
5. Special Tag Match: Satoshi Kojima & Ippanjin Munenori Sawa defeated Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei when Kojima pinned Kei with the Lariat (14:07).
6. Special Tag Match: “Blue Hebi Justice” Yuji Jagata & CIMA defeated Sanshiro Takagi & Poison Sawada JULIE when CIMA pinned Takagi with the Meteora (12:16).

On the day when New Japan changed ownership and created a shift in power across the pro wrestling scene, Super Japan went ahead and held their latest show with Yuji Nagata getting caught up in DDT hijinks. At the start of the show Nagata joined Sanshiro Takagi and advisor Masayuki Uchida to celebrate the fan voted continuation of Super Japan with a toast of energy drinks. However when they all drank it, Poison Sawada JULIE came out and revealed he swapped out Nagata’s drink with an extract of snake magic! Nagata collapsed in the ring and was taken back to the locker room to get help while Takagi suddenly wrapped up Uchida in tape and kidnapped him under JULIE’s orders!

It was all going according to plan for JULIE. He formed a new alliance with Takagi after being enemies with him in DDT for years and now had Nagata under his control. CIMA had to fight all three of them by himself in the main event with Nagata having fully transformed into a Snake Magic version called “Blue Hebi Justice” Yuji Jagata. Uchida was able to free himself backstage and used a mirror to reflect a spell back at JULIE. He also fed Nagata an antitode that gradually returned him back to normal. Nagata used the powers of his Salute pose to fight off JULIE’s magic while CIMA pinned Takagi with the Meteora to win the match. CIMA then brought up the match he had with Nagata in WCW 29 years ago. He was only 19 years old and 2 months into his career back then. He was dominated into defeat and has wanted a rematch ever since so he challenged Nagata to a singles match on 6th July! Nagata said he has no reason to refuse so he will give CIMA his all at the next Super Japan show.

In a moment that came and went in a blink of an eye, Kota Ibushi was seen standing at the entrance way waiting for Takagi after the main event. He reached out to Takagi and helped him walk to the back. Ibushi has not been seen on a DDT related event since his falling out with the company back in October 2024.

Having a pro wrestling career that spans across 35 years means you get to see a lot of different things happen. Satoshi Kojima used that sort of knowledge to help him fight off The Brahman Brothers. It helped that Munenori Sawa sacrificed himself by jumping in the way of an Ink Mist spot. By that point Kojima knew the plan was to fight as if he was a Brahman Brother himself. He suddenly started spewing out orange ink and used it to blind his opponents before beating them with the Lariat. Sawa was impressed to see first hand how Kojima can handle anything that gets thrown his way. Kojima though said he has no memory of what happened during the match. The Brahman Brothers were also amazed by Kojima and talked about wanting to team up with him next time just like they did with Nagata before.

Ken Ohka wants to do his bit to liven up Super Japan and came up with a big idea for a match to do on a future show. However neither Takagi nor Uchida were around after his match to hear about it. He had to wait until after the show to find Uchida and tell him he wanted to fight Hayabusa! Uchida agreed to book the match for 7th July.

When you spend so much time around the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title it messes up how you treat other championships.

Apologies have since been given and they’ve made up to the point where Kiryu will get a proper title shot anyway.

2. Dramatic Dream Match: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Kaisei Takechi

A contest is being made for Daisuke Sasaki’s match at Sumo Hall. It will be a tag match where fans get to guess who his partner is and who their opponents will be. The reason for this is because the other participants in the match haven’t actually been decided on yet, let alone booked for the show.

DDT “NEPPA OVER FLOWERS 5 ~THE ONLY SAUNA IN THE WORLD~” Results

February 14, 2026

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

1. Young Boy Akito Nishigaki Shinjuku FACE Debut Match: Rukiya Vs Young Boy Akito Nishigaki ended in a Time Limit Draw (5:00).
1a. Overtime: Rukiya defeated Young Boy Akito Nishigaki with a Cradle (1:59).
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shin KONOSUKE TAKESHITA, Shunma KatsuMAO & Takeshi Masada defeated Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Koju Takeda when TAKESHITA pinned Hirata with the Wagamama (15:33).
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Brahman Shu, Brahman Kei & Brahman Sasaki defeated Yuya Koroku, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi when Sasaki pinned Yuni after the Gotai Fumanzoku (12:23).
4. SeaSaunaShack Presents: Shinya Aoki defeated Hinata Kasai with the Aoki Clutch (10:35).
5. Ueno Nordic Presents Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno defeated Pokotan (w/ Chris Bathooks, Naya Tonttu & Sauna Stones・Den) with the Frog Splash (15:03).
6. Naniwa Health Land Utopia Presents Special Single Match: Minoru Suzuki defeated To-y with the Gotch-Style Piledriver (14:51).
7. Bonus Track Exhibition Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Shunma Katsumata ended in a Time Limit Draw (3:00).

A surprise attack from To-y led to him and Minoru Suzuki brawling around ringside during the main event. Suzuki got the advantage by Heel Hooking To-y over near the entrances. To-y tried fighting back with Chops as well as the Kojima Wonderland. But Suzuki got back in control, fired himself up in a To-y like manner and won with the Gotch-Style Piledriver. After the match Suzuki had something to say to To-y and the rest of The 37KAMIINA. He likes saunas too! When Suzuki left the ring, To-y admitted to everyone he was scared of fighting him but also discovered it was exciting too. He wants to go crazy but couldn’t because something else crazy was about to happen in the surprise bonus main event!

Shunma Katsumata then got into the ring. He had spent the entire show playing multiple roles from event producer to ring announcer. Now after eight months since his last match, he was going to wrestle again! The surprise match was a three minute exhibition between Katsumata and Yuki Ueno. It ended in a tie and Katsumata told everyone today has been the most tiring day of his life. However he is now in great condition and will have his official return match from injury on 22nd March!

Ueno earlier found himself in what was pretty much a 1 Vs 4 match. His opponent was Pokotan but the mascot was accompanied with three DDT wrestlers taking up their own sauna gimmicks: Chris Bathooks (Chris Brookes), Naya Tonttu (Yukio Naya) & Sauna Stones・Den (Yuki Ishida). Pokotan lost its head during the match and one of the other wrestlers would put it on to take its place in the match. Ueno took everyone’s moves until the original Pokotan got its head back. Ueno wiped out the others with a Plancha and then hit a Frog Splash onto Pokotan while using its head for extra impact to get the win.

Hinata Kasai got to go ten minutes with Shinya Aoki. Whether or not that can be seen as valuable experience or an excuse to get stretched apart is for him to figure out. While Kasai got to get some offence in, Aoki was firmly in control for much of the match and he got Kasai with the Aoki Clutch to get the three count. Aoki said Kasai gave it his all and that was the reason why Aoki couldn’t end the match as soon as he wanted to. He’s happy with Kasai’s performance and looks forward to what’s to come for the rookie. Kasai called himself weak and said his entire body is in pain but he was able to resist the pain in order to fight Aoki with all that he’s got. He will treasure this match and will definitely beat Aoki some day, even if it takes a few years to get there.

Something Katsumata wasn’t able to do today was perform with NωA Jr. so Daichi Sato was supposed to take his place. Sato is out injured so Yuya Koroku ended up filling his spot instead. Meanwhile The Brahman Brothers had a new ally in the blue form of Brahman Sasaki. He joined in their shenanigans of throwing buckets of water at everyone and spewing mysterious goo out of his mouth. However NωA Jr. ended up doing something similar by drooling what was described as melted chocolate from their mouths onto the Brahmans. Things ended up backfiring for Koroku, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi with missed attacks that ended with powder being thrown into their faces. From there the Brahmans trapped Yuni in the Gotai Fumanzoku double pin for the victory. It took until after the match for Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei to figure out that NωA Jr. used melted chocolate because today is Valentine’s Day.

While the real Konosuke Takeshita is busy wrestling over in Australia, Shin Konosuke Takeshita made their big return a year after their previous appearance on this series. Kazuki Hirata was impressed with Shin Takeshita’s world class ability. Danshoku Dieno was fixated on fighting ShunMAO Katsumata and Koju Takeda joined in on his lewd spots. Shin Takeshita hit the Takeshita Line but couldn’t get over the ropes to do a Topé. Instead ShunMAO & Takeshi Masada used a spinning chair to help Shin Takeshita give Hirata the Raging Fire. Hirata kicked out much to everyone’s surprise but was then thrown into the Double Hell Gate that was Dieno & Takeda’s rear ends. ShunMAO then did the Totonou Splash onto Hirata and Shin Takeshita finished him off with the Wagamama.

Akito rolled back the clock and wrestled his match as a “Young Boy”, wearing the plain black trunks and using a more basic moveset. His match with Rukiya only lasted five minutes because that was the time limit allowed but Katsumata decided to give them a restart in order to determine a winner. Rukiya got the best of Akito here after a series of countered cradles ended with Rukiya getting the pin.

Before the show began, a press conference was held for the upcoming D GENERATIONS CUP final between Kazuma Sumi and Takeshi Masada. Sumi has thought about this match a lot but his thoughts are just him surpassing Masada to win the tournament. He thinks Masada is amazing but he is just as amazing too. Masada (accompanied by Bunbun) appreciated being called an amazing wrestler and competed in this year’s DGC tournament to get more fans to watch it. He wants as much support he can get to win and get the DDT Universal Title shot against Daisuke Sasaki. The two were asked what were their favorite matches in the tournament? Sumi’s answer was his match against Daichi Sato because they punched and kicked each other as hard as they could. Masada chose his two matches with Koroku because they left a lasting impression on him he will never forget. They were then asked about getting a Universal Title match. Sumi said he would like to challenge for that title for the first time and his goal is to become a top Junior Heavyweight wrestler. Masada feels uneasy because he had two previous title shots that both ended in failure. But if he wins it he wants to express what it’s like to be the Universal Champion in his own way.

SUPER JAPAN “NEVER MIND” Results

December 31, 2025

SUPER JAPAN “NEVER MIND”, 29/12/2025
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Shota defeated Ryuma Tsukamoto with the Gannosuke Clutch (7:59).
2. DJ Nira Vs Muscle Sakai ended in a No Contest after a Referee Assault (8:55).
3. Mio Shirai defeated Marika Kobashi with the Murasaki Senko (7:12).
4. Special Tag Match – “Showa” II & “Reiwa” Debut Match: MIKAMI & Takashi Sasaki defeated “Showa” II & “Reiwa” when MIKAMI pinned “Showa” II with the Heisei-Style School Boy (9:40).
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Taiji Ishimori, Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei defeated Shuji Kondo, Ken Ohka & Mac Matsushita when Ishimori submitted Matsushita with the Bone Lock (11:31).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuji Nagata, Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Fuminori Abe defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Kasai & Ippanjin Munenori Sawa when Nagata submitted Takagi with the Arm Lock (17:07).

2025 came to a close with the final show of Super Japan, perhaps maybe ever. Except it turns out the sub-brand has a future after all, at least heading into 2026. It’s all thanks to Super Japan’s ace Yuji Nagata. First he led his team to victory in the main event. He fought fire with fire by using the crazy energy of Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Fuminori Abe to combat the crazy team energy of Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Kasai & Munenori Sawa. Nagata and Kasai spent just as much time dueling each other with their salute poses while Takagi and Abe brawled over at the Shinjuku FACE counter. Kasai pulled out a bundle of skewers and Kuroshio tried to physically stop him from using them. He failed and Kasai got to dig the skewers into Nagata’s head while Nagata held Takagi in the Arm Lock. That only made Nagata apply more pressure to the submission hold though and Takagi had to give up from the extra intensity his tag partner inadvertedly created.

After the match Takagi thanked everyone for the match and said his year long celebration of his 30th Anniversary in wrestling has finally come to an end. He told the others to show their appreciation to Nagata and the five of them all bowed to him. Nagata asked Takagi if this was really the end of Super Japan because after everything Takagi put him through during the project it shouldn’t end just like that. Takagi said he doesn’t have a venue booked for another show so there is nothing he can do about it. Nagata then revealed that he has Shinjuku FACE booked for 24th March and he’ll let Takagi use it for the next Super Japan date! Takagi accepted the offer so Super Japan can return next year! It will even have a familiar event name: “JUDGEMENT”. Takagi then asked Nagata to do the Nagata Dance with everyone in the ring so they can end the show on an even higher note.

For one night only The Sailor Boys reunited although none of them had any intentions of actually reliving the gimmick. Instead The Brahman Brothers interrupted the entrance song “Keep On Journey” so they could bring their usual deranged wrestling style to the table. Taiji Ishimori was willing to go along for the ride and join in the brawl against the opposing team of Toryumon/Dragon Gate linked wrestlers. Shuji Kondo had the power to fight back but a missed Lariat ended up hitting his partners Ken Ohka & Mac Matsushita by mistake instead. The Brahmans then beat up Matsushita with a traffic sign before Ishimori could make him give up to the Bone Lock. Ishimori also had black goo pouring out of his mouth while he was applying his finisher. After the match The Brahmans announced that The Sailor Boys are disbanding and will go back to being regular pro wrestlers. However they might reunite with Ishimori and team up again in twenty years time.

Back in their DDT days MIKAMI and Takashi Sasaki were often seen as rivals to each other. But given this is an alternate take to the early years of DDT, here in Super Japan they’ve been paired together as a tag team. They took on a revival of an old DDT gimmick called “Showa” with somebody claiming to be the second generation of the masked wrestler showing up with a second similar looking wrestler named “Reiwa” as his tag team partner. The DDT originals won out in the end with MIKAMI countering a Japanese Leg Roll Clutch from “Showa” II into a Heisei-Style School Boy for the three count.

Match #2 ended in a No Contest when Muscle Sakai and DJ Nira coaxed the referee Ishiguro into taking part in the action. At several points in the match the room would go dark and when the lights came back on, Sakai and Nira would swap positions. The spot ended up with Ishiguro unexpectedly finding himself on the top turnbuckle where he decided to do a Diving Cross Body onto the wrestlers and then stomp on them in the corner until the match was called off.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’26”, 04/01/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

9. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Suzume

Only one of the two debuts planned for Ittenyon is now going ahead. The trainee Shion has taken on the name Shion Kanzaki for her first match. She is from Chiba and was born on 11th February, 2001. She is 156cm tall and was part of her high school’s kendo club. After she graduated from school she formed a band with friends where she was on guitar and vocals. The band split up though and she took on a regular office job until decided to take on pro wrestling because she’s been a fan of it since she was a child.

The other trainee Anri has been pulled from the same match after it was decided she isn’t in the right condition yet to go through with her debut. Both Uta Takami and Ren Konatsu were part of the match too so maybe it can still go ahead as a tag bout with a last minute fill in. Is Ryo Mizunami busy that day?

To whoever wanted to see a reunion of The Sailor Boys you are getting your wish for the holidays. Super Japan have decided to book Taiji Ishimori and get him back together with The Brahman Brothers. It looks like they will get to stick to their current personas but Ishimori did previously come to terms with his embarrassing past gimmick before. He learned to embrace it to avoid having mind games played against him. To add even more Toryumon flavour to the match, the three of them will be facing three other men who carry the “Dragon Gene” inside them: Shuji Kondo, Ken Ohka & Mac Matsushita.
