Yokohama Radiant Hall
273 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

2. Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Toga defeated Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Sara Phoenix when Kamifuku pinned Phoenix with the Famouser (11:04).
3. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Mizuki & Uta Takami defeated Kira Summer & Chika Nanase when Takami submitted Nanase with the Koala Clutch (9:42).
4. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku defeated Raku & Ren Konatsu when Max pinned Konatsu with a Short-Range Lariat (6:37).
5. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida defeated HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki when Ashida pinned Suzuki with the German Suplex (11:06).
6. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami defeated Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao when Toribami pinned Misao with a Crushed La Magistral Cradle (14:33).

The 6th annual Max Heart Tournament kicked off with a bang. Last year’s winners Kyoraku Kyomei knew they were given a tough challenge when they were drawn against K!SS// (Kick Slash) in the 1st Round and promised to fight fair. That was obviously a lie and Hyper Misao blinded her opponents with the Hero Spray. Miyu Yamashita launched a counter attack but Shoko Nakajima cut her off with a big Diving Senton onto the ring apron to keep her away. That left Misao to fight it out with Kaya Toribami and it all went wrong for the hero when Toribami blocked La Magistral Cradle and pinned Misao down for the three count, eliminating Kyoraku Kyomei in the opening round! After the match K!SS// they have a lot more potential to show and they will finish off the rest of the opposition with their kicks. Toribami is also feeling incredibly happy because today is the first time she won a tournament match and not get immediately knocked out of the running. They will now face Daisy Monkey in Round 2. Kyoraku Kyomei are disappointed with the loss and think they may have become too careless. They promise to pull themselves together in order to chase after the Princess Tag Team Titles again. Nakajima also spoke about wanting to challenge K!SS// for the IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles.

It’s been a good week for Mifu Ashida. She got to meet Kenta Kobashi at the Tokyo Sports Awards ceremony and he gave her his endorsement online through his Twitter account. Even Shino Suzuki couldn’t help but tell the audience about the 500 follower increase Ashida got from it while doing her tour guide spot during the match today. Ashida then went on to get the win for her team by pinning Suzuki with the German Suplex after Yuki Arai threw HIMAWARI aside with the Full Nelson Buster. The Kyoto Tag (they made a Kyoto Tower pose but are happy to just be called Kyoto Tag for now) will advance to meet Ober Eats in Round 2. Their fighting spirit is already burning for the match. If they are able to win that, they promise to give everyone a huge announcement afterwards. One that will require a press conference. Bumping gRitters are frustrated over the loss especially since they were able to beat Ashida before. They learned they still have a long way to go to get stronger.

It is business as usual for Pompaler. At the start of their match Pom Harajuku was happy to be with Max The Impaler again and Max was happy to throw Pom at the opposition again. Raku & Ren Konatsu didn’t have much of a chance here. Max ended up pinning Konatsu with a Short-Range Lariat and then took her sheep toy away as a prize. They’re going to fight Daydream next in Round 2. Harajuku thinks they can make it to the final again this year and this time win the tournament. Konatsu said the match was scary and felt like a nightmare. She and Raku will need to sleep more to get sweet dreams again and gather together bigger sheep.

You just know the combination of Mizuki & Uta Takami is going to be a handful for any team in having to fight them this year. Kira Summer & Chika Nanase put up a good effort but couldn’t match their misfit energy. Instead Mizuki was able to knock Summer away with a Missile Dropkick while Takami pulled down Nanase with the Koala Clutch to make her submit. Mizuki told Takami that tag teams make her feel special even if they are only being paired together for this year’s tournament because they didn’t have other partners available. She wants them to aim high and believes they can do so if they work hard together rather then if Takami just follows Mizuki’s lead. Takami promised to do her best to stand alongside Mizuki. That will be put to the test when they face Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed, a team with a similar kind of dynamic in Round 2. Meanwhile Nanase was upset because she is always losing matches when it matters. Summer had to console her and Nanase promised she will stop looking down on herself. She wants to stop losing and win the next time she is in this tournament.

January 4, 2026

9. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) defeated Suzume with the Spinning Tear Drop (22:28).
*V4 for Miu Watanabe.

One year ago Miu Watanabe couldn’t beat the allegations that she is a monster rather than a princess. Fast forward one year later and there is no denying that she is the Princess Of Princess Champion to beat! The 11th annual Korakuen Hall show on 4th January served as Tokyo Joshi Pro’s entry into 2026 and delivered a main event that will be remembered as one of the promotion’s greatest matches to ever happen. Suzume used ever ounce of strength she had to try and avoid being swung around by Watanabe. In doing so she tied up the champion with the Hachinosu Eight Knot submission hold. She also relied on doing high risk Flying Facecrushers both in and out of the ring. When things looked most bleak for her, she pulled out the Ring A Bell as the big counter to Watanabe’s Tear Drop but that couldn’t get her the win. She jumped to the ropes to do the Spring Ring A Bell but Watanabe struck her out of the air with a Batting Hammer and followed it up with the Laserbeam. After that all she needed to do was land the Spinning Tear Drop to remain the champion.

Watanabe said the leadup period to this match with Suzume felt so long but she had so much fun along the way. She wants to defend the title against Suzume again some day and knows it will happen. But her next goal is to have a successful title defence in front of a packed Sumo Hall on 29th March. Once she can do that she is sure she can find even happier dreams to make come true. TJPW’s slogan for 2026 is “KAWAII×DREAM×STRONG ～Pro Wrestling That Makes You Look Forward To Tomorrow～” and Watanabe’s goal is to expand the promotion’s circle of happiness. In her backstage comments Watanabe noticed just as much cheers coming from the overseas fans in attednance than the Japanese fans. She said both are good and it’s nice to think that TJPW is reaching out to the whole world. She will be travelling a lot this year and wants to spread TJPW worldwide along with the Princess Title. While Suzume couldn’t win today, she comes out of the match loving pro wrestling even more. Today only showed that she doesn’t understand yet the weight of being the Princess Champion. It only makes her want it more so she isn’t going to give up.

The emergence of Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed as the newest challengers for the Princess Tag Team Titles proved to be a tough nut for Ober Eats to crack. Yuki Kamifuku resorted to bringing Yuki Aino out of the ring to fight in the front row while Wakana Uehara dealt with Haru Kazashiro between the ropes. Ober Eats took control from there until Aino made a comeback with Kazashiro following her lead. Kazashiro jumped off of Aino’s back to land a Low Cross Body onto Kamifuku but Uehara was there to stop Aino from doing the UBV. Kamifuku gave both of Prism Greed a Double Famouser and Uehara put Kazashiro in the Banana Pillow, increasing the pressure until the challenger gave up. Uehara admitted to having sleepless nights from losing the preview matches leading into today. If she had lost the Princess Tag Titles she would be spending the rest of this year feeling depressed. Kamifuku was in a better mood going into the match because she spend the New Year period with her parents and the 1.8L bottle of sake she gave her father as a gift only lasted 12 hours. It taught her the lesson to stop being so uptight during title matches. Prism Greed learned that losing this match means they can only move up from here. Kazashiro now thinks the wins she got heading into the title match are meaningless if you can’t win the big one at the end but she also thinks she has gotten closer with Aino. She’ll be by her side until Aino decides to retire or graduate.

The surprising return of MIRAI to TJPW resulted in an even further shocking turn of events when she beat Arisu Endo to become the new International Princess Champion! Now a part of Michinoku Pro, MIRAI was accompanied to the ring by ken45° and Manjimaru but the two men had no intentions of disrupting the match. MIRAI went on to avoid the Ju no Okite and rope break her way out of the Camel Clutch. Endo found herself in danger when she took the Miramare Shock (Death Valley Bomb) and before she realized it, MIRAI knocked her down with the Lariat and got the three count to win the championship! The result makes MIRAI the first person to win titles in Stardom, Marigold and TJPW (and JTO if you want to go deeper).

MIRAI has now won the title she failed to get during her days as a TJPW roster member. After thanking Endo for the match she announced her intentions to defend the belt, causing Toga to enter the ring and ask for a title shot. Toga wasn’t around back when MIRAI was with TJPW but watching this match made Toga want to wrestle her. MIRAI said she heard of Toga for having strong elbow strikes and looking like a cool wrestler so she wants fight her too. She accepted her challenge. Backstage MIRAI spoke about the warm reception from TJPW fans for her return. She always wanted to be one of a kind and TJPW is the promotion that best suits that kind of mindset. Toga said she was going to make a challenge no matter who won today because she wants to show she can be strong by herself but she is happy to go elbow versus elbow with MIRAI. It is also meant to be an international championship, Toga wants to spread her wings and fly out into the world.

The show also featured the return of Yuka Sakazaki as she reunited The Magical Sugar Rabbits with Mizuki while Yuki Arai joined in on the fun. Sakazaki was puzzled to see Raku taking a nap in the ring when the match began until Raku woke up and shouted “First sunrise!” while wearing a sun-shaped hat. Max The Impaler wasn’t in the same sleepy mood and decided to throw Raku’s pillow into the crowd. They then picked up Pom Harajuku to throw at the other team but they all dodged it and Harajuku landed hard on the mat. MagiRabi threw what they could at Max to slow them down while Arai got to pin Harajuku with a Modified Brainbuster to start her year off with a win. Arai said her goal for 2026 is to become champion, Mizuki’s goal is to take TJPW into the galaxy and Sakazaki’s goal is to become a NASA executive.

Mifu Ashida’s cheerleading is infectious enough to get J-Rod involved. When Ashida decided to bring in her pompoms for a cheer, she handed one over to her partner and J-Rod eventually decided to join in while they beat down their opponents. Miyu Yamashita was able to break down J-Rod with her kicks while Kaya Toribami targeted Ashida. Things took a wrong turn for Toribami when Ashida used her own flexibility to get out of the Bird Cage and then German Suplex her opponent. However Toribami got to hit her with a knee to the back of the head before landing the Sento Choryu to get the victory. Yamashita & Toribami still hold the IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles and they want to defend them even more this year. J-Rod said she will team with Ashida again but next time they will get rid of the smiling faces and take things more seriously. Ashida didn’t really listen because she’s just happy with the idea of getting to team up with J-Rod again.

The 12:10 race meeting near Wins Korakuen was about to begin. The annual Ittenyon match between Shoko Nakajima and Hyper Misao took on a horse racing theme this year because 2026 is the Year Of The Horse. Also Umamusume is bigger than ever and despite the corporate connections this is the only way TJPW could capitalize on it. The first ever Uma Princess Cup race took place between three uma-wrestlers: Haru Utata, Gold Konatsu Ship and Silence Shion. It was up to Kyoraku Kyomei to bet on the right horsegirl to win a three lap race around Korakuen Hall. They were also permitted to do anything they wanted to interfere in the race so their chosen horsegirl would win. Nakajima picked Utata while Misao put it all on Shion, leaving Konatsu as the odd one out. As the race progressed Misao attacked Utata on the first lap until Nakajima came to the rescue. On the second lap Nakajima tried to attack Shion up in the aisleway but Shion instead slammed her onto a pile of Kaiju toys laid out on the floor. Misao rode out on the Hyper Mobile aiming to run over Utata but she hit Mahiro Kiryu instead. A big pile up resulted in the bike being laid on top of Kiryu. Daisuke Kiso counted to three and declared the Hypami Dramatic Dream as the new Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion! Meanwhile the race entered its final lap where Nakajima & Utata kept getting into fights with Misao & Shion. They also taped Konatsu & Kiryu together to slow them down but that pair slowly made progress on the track while everyone else was fighting each other. Misao ended up using the ring apron to wrap up Nakajima & Utata but some carelessness resulted in her & Shion getting trapped inside it too. While all of this was happening, Konatsu & Kiryu slowly made it across the finish line inside the ring to win the race, meaning neither Nakajima or Misao won the match. Shortly after the chaos ended, Kiryu pinned the Hypami Dramatic Dream at ringside to win back the Iron Man Title.

The Iron Man Title had a busy day because the match before the horsegirl race was a 4 Way with the belt up for grabs. Rika Tatsumi was on the verge of submitting Kiryu with the White Dragon Sleeper when Aja Kong knocked her out with a steel can. That left Shino Suzuki as the only one left to try and stop Kong. She narrowly avoided getting squashed with a Hip Drop to roll Kong over for a nearfall. Kong then stopped her in her tracks with a Slap and pinned her with the Back Drop to win the Iron Man Title.

After the match Kiryu told Kong her dream was to protect the championship until the day she was put in a coffin but now it will never happen. Then Tatsumi tried to School Boy Kong but it didn’t work. Kiryu then tried doing the same move and Tatsumi helped make it work by reaching out to strangle Kong by the neck. A three count was made and Tatsumi celebrated with the belt until it was announced that since Kiryu was directly on top of Kong for the pin, Kiryu was the new champion instead! Kong chased her backstage wanting to win it back but decided it would be better if she can beat Kiryu in a singles match for it. She told Kiryu to put her life on the line to defend the title until then.

Toga’s opening into getting an IP Title match was set up earlier in the show when she scored the pin for Hot Shot. With Yuna Manase there to take down HIMAWARI with a Lariat, nothing could stop Toga from hitting Kira Summer with the Elbow Smash and then follow it up with the Rock Bottom for the victory. Manase praised Toga for showing incredible spirit but Toga told her she hopes not to rely on her so much for 2026. That is why she wanted to beat Summer by herself in the finishing stretch. Manase agreed with her, saying that the point of Hot Shot is to help Toga shine like a Hollywood star. She’ll support Toga as she turns from being ice cold into the hottest blue flame. HIMAWARI & Summer still get along despite losing because both of their birthdays are on 18th December. They also enjoyed wrestling in front of a packed venue with a great atmosphere today.

The opening match was the debut of TJPW’s newest rookie Shion Kanzaki. She started off the bout against Uta Takami using moves like Elbow Strikes and a Headlock. Takami eventually locked in the Koala Clutch and Chika Nanase was there to stop Ren Konatsu from breaking it up. Kanzaki tried fighting back with Dropkicks but Takami applied another Koala Clutch, this time getting the rookie to submit. Kanzaki said she was nervous before the match but Konatsu was able to motivate her and she ended up enjoying the match. She has loved pro wrestling since she was a kid because it got her through so many situations in life so she wants to become a pro wrestler that can support someone else the same way. The wrestlers she looks up to are Shoko Nakajima and Miu Watanabe.

An unlikely debut is planned for “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” this March. The mascot Minimo-chan is going to have its first ever pro wrestling match! Minimo-chan is the mascot for the 2000s idol group Minimoni and it promised to do its best to do a Lariat. Minimo-chan will be accompanied for its match by one of Minimoni’s members Mari Yaguchi. She recently worked with TJPW for its show in Malaysia and she thought it was an incredibly cool experience. She finds it hard to imagine what Minimo-chan will look like in a TJPW ring but she will be there to cheer it on.

The annual Ittenyon tradition will continue next year as TJPW will again be in Korakuen Hall on 4th January, 2027. Rise Shirai and Fumirin announced it to everyone at the start of the show. I noticed though that unlike last year they did not announce a Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao match in advance. I hope that’s not foreshadowing something for down the line…

Uma Princess Cup, Iron Man Title 4 Way, Kanzaki’s Debut Match Decided

January 3, 2026

Quick note while I’m enjoying my holiday. It will likely be next weekend when I start writing up the show reports I’m behind on. That will be once I’m home from Japan and fully settled back into my regular day to day life.

When the match begins, three uma-wrestlers will be racing each other around ringside for three laps. Nakajima and Misao can win the match if they can correctly choose the winner. They are also permitted to interfere in the race so their chosen horse girl will win by any means necessary. The names of the three uma-wrestlers are Haru Utata, Gold Konatsu Ship and Silence Shion.

There is now a 4 Way Match taking place where Mahiro Kiryu will have to defend the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title (if she is still champion by then) against Aja Kong, Rika Tatsumi and Shino Suzuki.

Some other wrestlers have been moved around so Shion Kanzaki can get her debut match. Uta Takami, Chika Nanase and Ren Konatsu will all be part of it now.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SE-NO, MERRY CHRISTMAS! 2025” Results

December 21, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SE-NO, MERRY CHRISTMAS! 2025”, 21/12/2025
Tokyo Tama Mirai Messe
327 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Chika Nanase defeated Uta Takami with the Inari Torii Aratame (6:55).
2. Raku defeated Kira Summer with the Doctor Yellow (5:04).
3. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Mahiro Kiryu (c) defeated Shino Suzuki with the Spinebuster (4:20).
*V? for Mahiro Kiryu.
4. Kaya Toribami Vs Toga ended in a Time Limit Draw (7:00).
5. Hyper Misao defeated Ren Konatsu with the Chickenwing Face Lock (5:25).
6. Shoko Nakajima defeated Mifu Ashida with the Northern Lights Suplex (5:44).
7. Arisu Endo defeated Pom Harajuku with the Camel Clutch (6:10).
8. Mizuki Vs Rika Tatsumi ended in a Time Limit Draw (7:00).
9. Miyu Yamashita defeated Yuki Arai with the Skull Kick (1:05).
10. Suzume, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated Miu Watanabe, Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara when Aino pinned Kamifuku after the Updraft!! Overdrive (15:29).

As we move ever so closer into the new year, some of the challengers are building up momentum chasing after the champions. Suzume flew out of the ring and took Miu Watanabe along for the ride with a Flying Facecrusher to the floor below. With them both out of the picture, Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed got the better of Ober Eats and used a brand new double team finisher to win the match. Yuki Aino set Yuki Kamifuku into the Venus DDT position and Haru Kazashiro picked up Kamifuku by the legs. The two then lifted Kamifuku up above their heads before dropping her back down to the mat. This elevated Venus DDT was later named the Updraft!! Overdrive and it proved to be an effective weapon on one of the champs. Suzume praised the power of her team today but is not confident the result means she is good enough to beat Watanabe by herself. However she did get to show Watanabe a different side to her today that Watanabe certainly didn’t expect. Kazashiro noted that she has a singles match with Wakana Uehara next week. It will be their last prelim bout before Ittenyon. Watanabe felt like she was stung by Suzume, which probably explains why she is currently feeling a bad itch in her left arm. Ober Eats are also warning they will teach Prism Greed the dangers of going viral.

The nine singles matches on the show were all booked via lottery and had a seven minute time limit applied to them. The final match of the series barely went over one minute. Yuki Arai wanted to get on the attack early and even got a few Big Boots in on Miyu Yamashita but a High Kick completely knocked her for a loop. Yamashita hit another High Kick to make her stumble more before landing the Skull Kick to win in just 65 seconds. Yamashita said Arai still has a long way to go but she is excited to see what she will learn from today and do next from here on out. Arai said she is so shocked from the way she lost that she can’t even cry. She will now go take a look at herself to figure out what is the next best step forward she can take.

Mizuki played around with Rika Tatsumi’s feelings for her both before and after the match. Before the match began they shook hands only for Mizuki to kick Tatsumi in the stomach. Then after the match ended in a time limit draw, Mizuki shook Tatsumi’s hand once more only to kick her again.

Christmas was in the air for Pom Harajuku’s match. She brought down a sack full of treats along with a costume for Arisu Endo to wear. She then encouraged Endo to sit on a cart at ringside and Harajuku proceeded to push her around the venue until she tipped the cart over with Endo still on it (in the same spot where Shoko Nakajima tripped and fell over during her entrance). She then tried to trap Endo in the sack and tie her up in a ribbon. Endo got Uta Takami to free her from the trap and she proceeded to beat Harajuku with the Camel Clutch.

Hyper Misao accused Ren Konatsu of cheating in all of her matches because she colludes with the toy sheep she keeps attached to her outfit! Misao grabbed the toy and pretended to speak as it, admitting to the cheating! She then attacked Konatsu to start the match and continued to carry around the toy as it went on, only dropping it when Konatsu put her in a Sleeper Hold. Misao grabbed the toy again after she put Konatsu in the Chickenwing Face Lock and that somehow became Konatsu’s breaking point to submit. She at least got to grab her toy back after the match.

Shoko Nakajima had an entrance she would rather forget. First she tripped and fell over one of the floor mats on the way to the ring. Then her second Chika Nanase realised she was standing at the wrong corner and had to run over to the opposite side where Nakajima was. Nakajima took her frustrations out on Nanase at ringside while Mifu Ashida was making her own entrance.

The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title had a more quiet appearance than usual on this show. Mahiro Kiryu is currently the champion after she drank the previous champ, a bottle of Ocha tea, shortly after the OCHA NORMA show had finished. Here she was able to beat Shino Suzuki cleanly in a normal title defence, which isn’t normal at all when it comes to this championship.

Raku gave Kira Summer a sleeping mask to wear so she would take a nap in the ring. She then left a Christmas present next to Summer and left the ring before calling to wake her up. Summer saw the gift and tried to look inside it when Raku snuck in from behind and rolled her up for a nearfall.

The opener was a rematch of this year’s Next Generation Tournament final. Due to the double elimination rule that took place during it, Uta Takami and Chika Nanase traded a win each and it resulted in Takami becoming the tournament champion. In what could be seen as a rubber match, Nanase was able to make Takami submit to the elevated version of the Inari Torii with just seconds to go before the time limit could expire.

The first four teams entering next year’s Max Heart Tournament were announced. They are Ober Eats, Daydream, Daisy Monkey and Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed. The tournament will have twelve teams in total competing next year.

GANBARE☆PRO “FLASH GORDON 2025” Results

December 13, 2025

GANBARE☆PRO “FLASH GORDON 2025”, 13/12/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
195 Fans

1. Mizuki Watase & Rukiya defeated Yasu Urano & Rekka when Watase pinned Rekka with the Venetian (10:59).
2. Moeka Haruhi Vs Gabai Ji-chan ended in a Draw after a Double Pinfall (9:36).
3. Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi defeated Ken Ohka & Akira Shoji when Maeguchi pinned Ohka with the Ago Shitsurei Itashimasu (7:33).
4. Yuna Manase & Toga defeated YuuRI & Chika Nanase when Manase pinned Nanase after the Dynamic Hot Shot (13:27).
5. 3 Way Match: PSYCHO defeated Shuichiro Katsumura and Choun Shiryu when PSYCHO pinned Shiryu with the Got Trip (15:00).
6. Yumehito Imanari, Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Munetatsu Nakamura, Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motoshima when Ishii submitted Motoshima with a Crab Hold (21:13).

The end of year title shots are safe and sound among the veterans. They crushed the mini-rebellion put together by the rookies who wanted to take over the main event scene for themselves. Keisuke Ishii said the match shows that Ganbare☆Pro has a strong sense of purpose all over from the young wrestlers to the most experienced. All that needs to be done now is for he, Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga to reclaim the titles from the current outsider champions in order to lead into the next year. Tominaga told the rookies they may feel like they are hated right now but they will understand in 10 years time.

Not only did Hot Shot get to team up in GanPro but they now have a tag team finisher to win matches with. The Dynamic Hot Shot is when Yuna Manase gives the opponent the Suzuki Dynamic along with Toga doing a Facebuster. Toga spoke about how happy she is to do the match because she looks up to Manase. She also notices how much attention she gives YuuRI but after wrestling her today she understands why. Toga also enjoys how much she is wrestling Chika Nanase lately and hopes that will continue back in Tokyo Joshi Pro. YuuRI gave motivation to Nanase by explaining how everyone who steps into a GanPro ring gets the Ganbare☆Spirit passed on to them.

Today was the first time the MMA fighter Akira Shoji wrestled in GanPro. He was teaming with Ken Ohka because the two are from Toyama. He will be back on 27th December to have a match with Shuichiro Katsumura but if there is one person he would like to meet in the ring again, it is Nobuhiko Takada given their connections to Pride FC. Shoji doesn’t know how often he will be wrestling in GanPro but while he is here he hopes to show off how sharp his skills still are.

After the show had ended, Takashi Sasaki appeared in the room wanting to talk to Yuna Manase. She had been sending him messages asking to team up and he wanted to answer her in person. He is moved by Manase’s passion and wants to team with her even though GanPro and FREEDOMS are rivals. However he wants to be sure that Manase is dedicated enough that they can go all the way towards winning the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles? She assured him that she is so they agreed to team up for the Mixed Tag Match at 27th December.

The Mixed Tag Match got other updates as well. Moeka Haruhi & Gabai Ji-Chan have decided to team up together after their match earlier in the show ended in a draw. She warns all the other teams that they will be booed against Gabai Ji-Chan no matter what they do. Also HARUKAZE received a message from Hartley Jackson asking to be added to the match, making it a 4 Way Tag. He is willing to team with anyone but would prefer HARUKAZE to be his partner. HARUKAZE agreed to have a one day return to wrestling so Lethal Weapon can team up again!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW X OCHA NORMA – OCHA PRO☆KORAKUEN” Results

December 7, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW X OCHA NORMA – OCHA PRO☆KORAKUEN”, 07/12/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
910 Fans – No Vacancy

1. HIMAWARI & Haru Kazashiro defeated Arisu Endo & Uta Takami when Kazashiro submitted Takami with the Izayoi (11:01).
2. Ryo Mizunami, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Mahiro Kiryu, Shino Suzuki & Chika Nanase when Mizunami pinned Nanase with the Spear (9:31).
3. Ochanor Mask & Kaya Toribami defeated Wakana Uehara & Ren Konatsu when Ochanor pinned Konatsu with La Ochastral Cradle (8:32).
4. OCHA Pro Seikigun Vs Coffee Breakers: Miyu Yamashita, Rika Tatsumi & Mifu Ashida defeated Hyper Misao, Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer when Tatsumi pinned Summer with the Missile Hip (11:45).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Mahiro Kiryu defeated Rika Tatsumi (c) by Pinfall (1:17 pm).
*Mahiro Kiryu becomes the 1,787th champion.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Natsume Nakayama defeated Mahiro Kiryu (c) after a Choke Hold from Rika Tatsumi (1:18 pm).
*Natsume Nakayama becomes the 1,788th champion.
5. Mizuki, Suzume & Yuki Arai defeated Miu Watanabe, Yuki Aino & Toga when Suzume pinned Toga with the Ring A Bell (16:37).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Ocha defeated Natsume Nakayama (c) by Submission (2:44 pm).
*Ocha becomes the 1,789th champion.

A crossing of idol worlds took place for Tokyo Joshi Pro’s final Korakuen Hall show for 2025. They collaborated with the group OCHA NORMA for a special one-off show mixing wrestling matches with an idol concert. For the matches, different members of OCHA NORMA would play a role whether it was as a ring announcer, a commentator or simply to cheer on the wrestlers from ringside.

The show did still push forward towards 4th January. The main event had Miu Watanabe and Suzume cross paths again. Watanabe gave Suzume & Mizuki a Double Body Slam followed by the Double Giant Swing. Yuki Arai cut her off from doing the Canadian Backbreaker and Suzume wore her down to the point where she could do a low hanging Ring-A-Bell. Yuki Aino & Toga worked together to double team Suzume but Mizuki came in to give Watanabe the Whirling Candy. Suzume then singled out Toga to hit the Ring-A-Bell and win the match for her team. After the match Suzume said she is happy to see so many people’s love come together here, whether it is for OCHA NORMA or for pro wrestling. She promoted the 4th January show along with her match with Watanabe for the Princess Of Princess Title. Watanabe told Suzume they will meet here in Korakuen on 4th January to clash over what they love.

Tea is a strong concept that follows everything OCHA NORMA does but not everyone in TJPW are into that sort of stuff. There’s a group of wrestlers who think coffee is the superior drink and will fight to prove it! Hyper Misao, Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer joined forces to become the Coffee Breakers and promised to paint Korakuen Hall pitch black! They entered to the music from a Japanese coffee commercial then attacked the other team with coffee mugs. Misao also spat coffee into Rika Tatsumi’s face like it was the Poison Mist. However Misao also pulled out a spray can and accidentally blinded Kamifuku when Tatsumi ducked the attack. Tatsumi then sprayed all of the Coffee Breakers. Mifu Ashida threw Misao away with a German Suplex, Miyu Yamashita hit Kamifuku with the Skull Kick and Tatsumi finished off Summer with the Missile Hip.

With Tatsumi victorious the path was now clear for her to achieve her dream. For months now she has been winning and defending the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title just so she can give it as a gift to Natsume Nakayama, her favorite member of OCHA NORMA. After the match Tatsumi invited Nakayama into the ring and laid on the canvas with her eyes closed so she could be pinned. However Mahiro Kiryu entered the ring and pinned Tatsumi to win the title instead! When Tatsumi realised what happened, she got mad and choked Kiryu unconscious. She then invited Nakayama to pin Kiryu but she declined. Tatsumi wouldn’t take no for an answer though and she made Nakayama sit on Kiryu to pin her and become the new champion. Tatsumi’s dream came true and she hopes everyone took lots of cute pictures of them together with the belt.

A special guest from Mexico was booked from the show to make up for Shoko Nakajima being absent due to what was only described as “various circumstances”. Taking her place was Ochanor Mask and she made an odd first impression by deciding to dance instead of shaking her opponents’ hands before the match began. Wakana Uehara & Ren Konatsu didn’t know what to make of the Ocha Libre wrestling style and then things got even more odd when Konatsu accidentally unmasked Ochanor, possibly unveiling that it was really Shoko Nakajima all along! Ochanor tried to keep her face hidden and was still able to pin Konatsu before putting the mask back on in the hopes that no one noticed. Kaya Toribami was happy to win with her new Mexican friend but being a masked wrestler herself, she understands how scary a moment like that can be.

Ryo Mizunami was just as confused as the OCHA NORMA fans in attendance when her match began with Raku & Pom Harajuku taking a nap in the ring, causing their opponents to do the same thing. She woke Raku up and got attacked by her by mistake so the match could go ahead. Mizunami’s team eventually got on the same page and she was able to pin Chika Nanase with the Spear to win.

With a Princess Tag Team Titles shot coming up around the corner, Haru Kazashiro unveiled an upgraded version of her Arm Stretch submission hold. She can now set it up like a Codebreaker and then keep it applied in a way that looks like the Sol Naciente that Masato Yoshino from Dragon Gate used to do. The move that Kazashiro used is now called the Izayoi, which refers to the 16th night of the month that takes place after a full moon… Oh wait, there’s also something here that says it’s a Tokustatsu reference so that’s probably where she got the name from. Anyway, even though Arisu Endo took care of HIMAWARI and left the match up to Uta Takami, Kazashiro turned the tables and used the Izayoi to make Takami give up.

Midway through the show there was a special challenge that pitted TJPW against OCHA NORMA. It was an all out Rock Paper Scissors battle between the two sides. Haru Kazashiro and Pom Harajuku lost their games but Shino Suzuki saved the day for the TJPW team, winning the final game that was worth three points so TJPW ended up beating OCHA NORMA 3-2.

There were three musical performances held throughout the show in between the matches. OCHA NORMA performed for the majority of them but The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) took part in the opening segment. They played two of their own songs along with an OCHA NORMA cover that the actual OCHA NORMA then joined in for at the end.

Nakayama’s reign as the Iron Man champion ended not that long after the show had finished. She was approached by Mahiro Kiryu and Shino Suzuki backstage along with the referee Fumirin. Kiryu convinced Nakayama to give up the championship because Nakayama herself does not want to worry about defending the title. However when she declared she was giving up the title, Fumirin noticed she was holding a bottle of ocha tea next to the belt. Fumirin then decided that Nakayama had given up to the ocha tea which means Ocha is now the champion, not Kiryu!

1. Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda Vs Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata

7. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs Takeshi Masada & Yasu Urano

Some new title programs have opened up for DDT’s last few weeks of the year. We also have what could be the last ROMANCE DAWN tag match for a while. More on why that is later.

BASARA “BASARA 294 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~”, 11/12/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. YJF Cruiserweight Title: Ayumu Honda (c) Vs FUMA
2. Wrestle Brain Jr. Heavyweight Title: Masato Kamino (c) Vs Takeru Inoue
3. BJW Jr. Heavyweight Title: Kosuke Sato (c) Vs Takato Nakano
4. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Seiya Morohashi

Where are all of these championships coming from? The Wrestle Brain Jr. Heavyweight Title has been around the obscure corners of the indies for over 20 years, originating from a long defunct company called Pro Wrestling Nightmare. It is currently held by Masato Kamino after he won it from Yuki Kanzaki. The YJF Cruiserweight Title belongs to Gokigen Pro Wrestling, the replacement for YMZ that hasn’t actually had its proper launch yet. Ayumu Honda is currently the holder of that championship.

There is one more match to be booked for the show. Which means there is still time to find another very obscure championship to put on the line.

GANBARE☆PRO “FLASH GORDON 2025”, 13/12/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Mizuki Watase & Rukiya Vs Yasu Urano & Rekka
2. Moeka Haruhi Vs Gabai Ji-chan
3. Yuna Manase & Toga Vs YuuRI & Chika Nanase
4. Ken Ohka & Akira Shoji Vs Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi
5. 3 Way Match: Shuichiro Katsumura Vs PSYCHO Vs Choun Shiryu
6. Yumehito Imanari, Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Munetatsu Nakamura, Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motoshima

The next challenges for the two Spirit Of Ganbare Championships have been thrown down for Korakuen Hall at the end of the year but the coast isn’t clear just yet. The young wrestlers of Ganbare☆Pro want to get those opportunities instead of their seniors so an all or nothing 6-Man Tag Match will sort this issue out.

Akira Shoji? The Pride FC fighter? I don’t think he has wrestled since HUSTLE was around. Oh no, wait, he was in SMASH a bunch for its early shows. It’s all coming back to me now.

The women’s tag match is going to mix Ganbare☆Joshi with Tokyo Joshi Pro a little bit. Yuna Manase & Toga get to team up as Hot Shot again while YuuRI joins forces with Chika Nanase for the first time.

DDT “SENDAI NEW LEGEND 2025 ~SERI HOYA HYOTAN-AGE~”, 14/12/2025

4. Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya Vs Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku
5. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs HARASHIMA & Kazuma Sumi
6. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Akito Vs Takeshi Masada & Yuki Ishida

This will be the last time in 2025 that MAO will get to wrestle in his home area.

DDT “RING FINALE 2025 ~EVERYONE IS THE STAR OF THE CURTAIN CALL~”, 21/12/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Tag Match: Yuji Nagata & Sanshiro Takagi Vs HARASHIMA & Kaisei Takechi
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Takeshi Masada

It’s just the KO-D Openweight Title on the line for Yuki Ueno’s last title match of the year. He put all of D GENERATIONS into a Rock Paper Scissors tournament to determine the No. 1 Contender and Takeshi Masada came out on top. His fighting words to build up the title match didn’t impress the champion though. Ueno wants to hear something from Masada that will make him want to fight him.

An outsider team is just what Strange Love Connection are looking for when it comes to their next KO-D Tag Team Titles defence. F-SWAG has come to DDT looking for gold an quickly set their sights on the tag belts. Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox can be a handful together but MAO thinks it will do KANON a lot of good to start fighting wrestlers from outside of DDT.

More big opportunities are coming Kaisei Takechi’s way. He has a trip to the Tokyo Dome booked for 4th January so Sanshiro Takagi is giving him a New Japan flavored appetizer in the form of Yuji Nagata. Takechi will have HARASHIMA backing him up because HARASHIMA doesn’t want to miss out on the fun.

GANBARE☆PRO “BEFORE SUNRISE 2025”, 27/12/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. YuuRI 5th Anniversary Match: YuuRI Vs Sareee
2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga
3. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii

Should the GanPro veterans get past their pesky juniors, they will have championship matches to look forward to at the end of the year. Keisuke Ishii believes he is the one fated to win the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title from Masaaki Mochizuki in a battle between the Kneel Kick against the Saikyou High Kick.

Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga have become GanPro’s latest hope to take the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles from the BASARA team. They have wrestled in the same matches so frequently this year that they feel like they are already an established tag team in GanPro. That’s why they went and given themselves a tag team name called Touchable. That isn’t making Ryota Nakatsu or Takumi Tsukamoto shaking in their boots though.

DDT “NEW YEAR☆DRAMATIC PARADE 2026 ~THE ANSWER WILL BE REVEALED ONE YEAR LATER~”, 03/01/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi (c) Vs MAO, KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) & Kazuma Sumi

One day before Takechi (and possibly a few others) go to the Tokyo Dome, he has his first title defence with The 37KAMIINA to get through. Ueno, To-y & Takechi have to get past the trio of SLC & Kazuma Sumi if Takechi wants to enter the Dome with the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles still belonging to his team.

2026 will begin with a DDT wrestler taking time off for injury. Soma Takao will be out of action from January in order to get treated for a lingering left knee injury. He doesn’t know how long the break will last but the only thing he is certain of is you will find him working at the Dropkick Bar.

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

1. Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Suzume

A new tag team has shown up to challenge Ober Eats! It’s familiar territory for Yuki Aino as she finds herself back to being a tag wrestler but she’s happy to hear that Haru Kazashiro wants to team with her. YukiHaru are wasting no time and have quickly made the Princess Tag Team Titles their target.

The guests announced for the show so far are Aja Kong, Yuka Sakazaki, J-Rod and Max The Impaler.

GANBARE☆PRO “WICKER MAN 2025” Results

November 29, 2025

GANBARE☆PRO “WICKER MAN 2025”, 29/11/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
143 Fans

1. Choun Shiryu, Kaori Yoneyama & Yuna Manase defeated Moeka Haruhi, Chika & MASA☆TAKA when Shiryu pinned TAKA with the Chinese Bombs Away (8:08).
2. Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Tatsuhito Takaiwa & Sentaro Motoshima when Imanari submitted Motoshima with a Bull Naked Choke (13:39).
3. Keisuke Ishii, Hagane Shinno & Munetatsu Nakamura defeated Mizuki Watase, Rukiya & Shota Kawakami when Ishii pinned Kawakami with the Kneel Kick (15:12).
4. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) defeated Shuichiro Katsumura & YuuRI when Nakatsu submitted YuuRI with a Sleeper Hold (15:34).
*V3 for Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto.
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) defeated Ken Ohka with the Shin Saikyou High Kick (15:47).
*V3 for Masaaki Mochizuki.

Ken Ohka’s bad luck at fighting for singles championships continues as he failed to win his own promotion’s top title in his fourth attempt. He tried using a Dragon Suplex when the Spear Of Flame couldn’t get him the win but Masaaki Mochizuki wore him down with kicks until the Shin Saikyou High Kick finished the job. After the match Mochizuki said Ohka had gotten better since their previous match back in April but no matter how much Ohka closes the gap, Mochizuki will always be better than him. He then called out for someone to challenge him otherwise he will keep the Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title going into 2026. Keisuke Ishii entered the ring and said he now believes he is the one to beat him. Mochizuki recognised Ishii because of his Kneel Kick and tried to remember if they competed in the same All Japan Jr. Heavyweight tournament about ten years ago. But he wants to see if his High Kick is better than Ishii’s Kneel Kick so the title match will take place at Korakuen Hall on 27th December. Ishii said he has main evented Korakuen six times but never won any of those matches. Mochizuki told him that what happened six times will happen seven times so be prepared.

Shuichiro Katsumura & YuuRI came so close to bringing the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles back home but a mistimed attack blew their chances. While Katsumura trapped Takumi Tsukamoto in an Ankle Lock, YuuRI grabbed Ryota Nakatsu in a Sleeper Hold. Katsumura then went to throw a High Kick at Nakatsu but he ducked and YuuRI got hit instead. Nakatsu then put YuuRI in the Rear Naked Choke, forcing YuuRI to pass out in the move. While the champions celebrated their win, Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga entered the ring to challenge them for the tag titles on 27th December. They are also now going by the tag team name Touchable and pointed out they are not some hastily put together duo like the recent batch of title challengers. Touchable have been wrestling together in Ganbare☆Pro as opponents and partners since April.

At the end of the show Ishii, Imanari & Tominaga were confronted by Munetatsu Nakamura, Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motoshima and a fight broke out between the two groups. The younger wrestlers then challenged the veterans to a 6-Man Tag Match on 13th December and if they win, they will take the title shots booked for Korakuen Hall!

It was announced that Yuna Manase is bringing Toga and Chika Nanase from Tokyo Joshi Pro over for the 13th December show. The match will be Hot Shot against YuuRI & Nanase.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION” Results

November 19, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 19/11/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
247 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Kaya Toribami defeated Toga with the Sento Choryu (8:29).
2. Rika Tatsumi defeated Gabai Ji-chan with a Reverse Figure 4 Leg Lock (11:31).
3. Mizuki & Yuki Aino defeated Raku & HIMAWARI when Mizuki pinned Raku with the Cutie Special (14:59).
4. Shoko Nakajima & Miyu Yamashita Vs Yuu & Yuki Kamifuku ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).

You never forget where you came from. Yuu never forgot where she came from either. It’s been seven years since she graduated from Tokyo Joshi Pro and she hadn’t stepped foot back inside until today. She will be retiring from pro wrestling at the end of the year but before that can happen she just had to come by for one last appearance. For the special match Yuu teamed with Yuki Kamifuku to take on Miyu Yamashita & Shoko Nakajima, two former rivals she has fought with over the Princess Of Princess Title in the past. Yamashita relished the chance to kick her again while Yuu took the blows and threw her around just as hard. Nakajima and Kamifuku weren’t left out of the action either and all four of them were spent when the bell rang for a time limit draw.

After the match Kamifuku got on the microphone to welcome Yuu back to TJPW. She told Yuu how sad she was when Yuu left the promotion but Kamifuku used that as motivation to work harder. Now she is a champion leading the younger generation. She joked that Yuu couldn’t imagine this matchup ending in a draw knowing how often Kamifuku lost her matches back then. She has improved so much that she wants her three seniors to start praising her. As soon as this match was announced, Yamashita was reminded of all the times she and Yuu exchanged blows like crazy. Today was just like that and even though Yamashita’s chest was left red, it felt so good. The red marks will go away but the Chops Yuu gave her will always be in her heart. Nakajima pointed out that she is the same age as Yuu and they share the same birthday. However when it comes to wrestling Nakajima is a little bit older so it makes her sad to see Yuu is retiring before her.

Yuu promised she wasn’t going to cry until she retires but she couldn’t help doing it today because she’s never going to fight with these wrestlers again. She was the first woman to graduate from TJPW but continue wrestling elsewhere. While she didn’t always see eye to eye with Tetsuya Koda, she wanted to take this chance to thank him along with everyone else in the company for giving her a warm send off at the time. She loves pro wrestling and is truly grateful that she’ll be able to retire while still loving it. From next year onwards she will support TJPW as a fan.

When Match #3 began Raku immediately asked Yuki Aino for a hug and offered her an eye mask so they could take a nap in the ring together. Mizuki told Aino not to take the offer but Aino couldn’t resist. Raku quickly rolled her up for a nearfall but Aino kicked out and briefly wrestled while still having the eye mask blocking her sight. She went on to handle HIMAWARI while Mizuki pinned Raku with the Cutie Special.

Rika Tatsumi tried to be polite to Gabai Ji-chan by holding down the bottom ring rope for him to enter the ring but he decided to trip her down with his walking cane. Then as they wrestled, Tatsumi strangled Ji-chan in the corner until he fainted. She got upset thinking he died but he was only playing possum to roll her up for a nearfall. He also did the Old School rope walk by using his cane for assitance. Tatsumi pulled the cane away, causing him to get crotched on the ropes. Ji-chan tried fighting back but his legs kept giving up on him whenever he attempted a Body Slam. He also injured his knee from giving Tatsumi (with her diamond hips) an Atomic Drop. Tatsumi worked the leg but that couldn’t stop Ji-chan from suddenly using Keiji Muto’s moveset from the Dragon Screw to the Shining Wizard to the Ribbreaker. He then went for the Moonsault, landing on his feet when Tatsumi moved out of the way and injuring his knee again.
