Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament

June 2, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 308 ~UTAGE~”, 09/06/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament Block A – Round 1A: Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Isami Kodaka
2. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament Block A – Round 1B: SAGAT Vs Daiki Shimomura
3. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament Block B – Round 1A: FUMA Vs Daichi Kazato
4. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament Block B – Round 1B: Lil’ Kraken Vs Ryota Nakatsu
5. Takeru Inoue, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga Vs Shuji Ishikawa, Minoru Fujita & Yasu Urano
6. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Ayumu Honda

Normally around this time of year BASARA would hold their annual Chouten ~Itadaki~ tournament. This might still be it but they have not branded the competition as such so far. Instead Shuji Ishikawa wants the BASARA locker room to figure out for themselves who should get the next Union MAX Title shot. There are eight challengers, which isn’t enough to do a full blown Chouten playoff. Every match in the first round will have a 15 minute time limit. In the case of a draw happening, both wrestlers will be eliminated.

BASARA “BASARA 309 ~UTAGE~”, 23/06/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament Block A – Round 2: Winner Of Round 1A Vs Winner Of Round 1B
2. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament Block B – Round 2: Winner Of Round 1A Vs Winner Of Round 1B
3. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament – Final: Winner Of Block A Vs Winner Of Block B

The time limit of the semi finals will be 20 minutes each. The double elimination rule for a draw will still be in effect for that round. The final will have no time limit in the hopes of guaranteeing a winner. Imagine the company going through all that trouble just to balls it up at the last hurdle.

BASARA “BASARA 307 ~KOO~” Results

May 29, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 307 ~KOO~”, 29/05/2026
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Lil’ Kraken & Fuminori Abe defeated Daiki Shimomura & Takeru Inoue when Kraken pinned Inoue with the Period. (11:01).
2. Grace Project Sponsored Match: Toru Sugiura, Yuya Susumu & Captain Grace defeated Isami Kodaka, Takumi Tsukamoto & Gouma Ryu when Sugiura pinned Ryu with the Right Elbow With Model Six Laws (6:39).
3. FUMA defeated Seiya Morohashi with an Armbar (0:14).
3a. Rematch: FUMA defeated Seiya Morohashi with an Armbar (10:05).
4. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Ryota Nakatsu, Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida when Hiroshi pinned Kazato with the Perfect Plex (10:15).
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) defeated Minoru Fujita & Yasu Urano when Nakano pinned Urano after the Aijin III (17:11).
*V3 for Aijin Tag.
6. Union MAX Title: Shuji Ishikawa (c) defeated SAGAT with the Running Knee Lift (14:24).
*V4 for Shuji Ishikawa.

With another Union MAX Title defence under his belt, Shuji Ishikawa is finding more wrestlers coming forward to challenge him. SAGAT asked if he could get a rematch soon but Ishikawa told him it is way too soon for him to get another title match. Lil’ Kraken then declared himself the next challenger only for Isami Kodaka to knock him out mid-sentence. Ishikawa then found himself surrounded by five wrestlers: Daichi Kazato, Ryota Nakatsu, Daiki Shimomura, Takumi Tsukamoto and FUMA. Ishikawa joked about being popular lately and wishing the five men were five women instead. He told the group to decide among themselves who the next challenger will be because there are too many of them for him to take on all at once and he only wants to fight the strongest one. They all left to allow Ishikawa to end the show by himself. He talked about being able to hold the MAX Title he was never able to win when Union Pro existed. He will continue to beat strong challengers and continue being the champion for the next ten years until he turns 60!

Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi approached Aijin Tag after the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles claiming to have a message from Ayumu Honda. According to Hiroshi, Honda called Aijin Tag a third rate tag team who are not worthy of being champions. Judo is the national sport of Japan so Hiroshi & Honda want to challenge Aijin Tag for the tag titles on 9th June! Hiroshi added that the Iron Fist Tag Title belts would look better next to Honda’s black belt. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino both admitted to feeling banged up after fighting Fujita Pro Wrestling School. Their knees in particular were targeted by the challengers but they’re certain they will be in good shape for the next defence. Yasu Urano called the result a fluke and if the two teams fought each other another ten times, he and Minoru Fujita would win all of those ten matches.

Seiya Morohashi attacked FUMA during his entrance and they brawled around ringside. When they got into the ring and the match officially began, FUMA quickly caught Morohashi in an Armbar to win by submission. Morohashi demanded a rematch but only got it after he gave FUMA a dogeza style apology. Morohashi quickly lost his temper again but the rematch went ahead without controversy and FUMA made him tap to another Armbar. The two bowed to each other after the match and shook hands. They were also complimentary towards each other in their post-match interviews backstage until Morohashi handled FUMA’s deer hide jacket too hard.

BASARA “TRANS-AM ★ HIROSHI GOLDEN 15TH ANNIVERSARY” Results

May 15, 2026

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

1. Isami Kodaka & Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Minoru Fujita & Antonio Honda when Tsukamoto pinned Honda with the High Angle Backslide Pin (8:21).
2. Hiroshi Reincarnation Rumble: Dildo Love (SAGAT) defeated nakatsunoH (Ryota Nakatsu) and Taz Urano (Yasu Urano) by Double Ring Out (11:51).
Order Of Elimination: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi (American Era) (Gouma Ryu) & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi (Asian Kung Fu Revolution era) (Yasu Urano), Judomaster, Hiroshi Fukuda (Mamono Era) (Ryota Nakatsu), Hiroshi Fukuda (Union Era) (SAGAT), William Ryugaru (Gouma Ryu) & Kung FUMAki (FUMA), nakatsunoH (Ryota Nakatsu) and Taz Urano (Yasu Urano).
3. Kazuki Hirata defeated Daichi Kazato with a Body Press (13:34).
4. MEN’S Teioh, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Takeru Inoue when Teioh pinned Inoue with a Kaiser Knuckle (11:13).
5. Ayumu Honda defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi with the Flying Armbar (12:00).

The 15th Anniversary show for Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi didn’t have the perfect main event he was hoping for. His attempts to give Ayumu Honda the Perfect Plex were either countered or couldn’t get him the win. He tried it one time too many and Honda was able to counter it into a Flying Armbar to get the victory. After the match Hiroshi brought up that Honda used to compete in Judo and asked if he was happy just to beat him in pro wrestling today? Suddenly some judo outfits were brought down to the ring and Honda agreed to have a two minute sparring session with Hiroshi in front of everybody. Honda was dominant for most of it but Hiroshi made a comeback as time ran out on him. Hiroshi then thanked everyone for coming to the show and said he would like to team up with Honda to fight for a tag team championship together. He then sang a song to bring the event to a close.

Match #4 was held under No Tag Rules as is tradition for MEN’S Club multi-man tag matches. MEN’S Teioh and Speed Of Sounds all did the Miracle Ecstacy together before Teioh went on to get the win by himself.

Kazuki Hirata isn’t familiar with the kind of comedy wrestling that BASARA does and he got booed for not going along with Daichi Kazato’s usual spots. He begun to understand it when Kazato gave a demonstration but decided not to join in, drawing even more boos. He instead put on the Hirata GO! glasses to power himself up to 200%. Kazato successfully knocked the glasses off of Hirata but at the cost of knocking himself out in the process, allowing Hirata to gently pin him for the three count.

The Reincarnation Rumble began with wrestlers appearing under the previous personas and alter egos of Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi. But things took a weird shift and soon the entries turned into WWF/WWE gimmick parodies from the world of Ultimate Superstars Action!

BASARA “BASARA 301 ~UTAGE~” Results

March 6, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 301 ~UTAGE~”, 06/03/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans

1. Fuminori Abe defeated Takeru Inoue with the O-Manjigatame (9:52).
2. SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Banana Senga (w/ Gouma Ryu) when SAGAT pinned Hiroshi with the Gore Grind (9:51).
3. Ryota Nakatsu & Isami Kodaka defeated FUMA & Seiya Morohashi when Nakatsu pinne FUMA with a Jackknife Pin (13:19).
4. Takumi Tsukamoto, Daiki Shimomura & Tatsuya Hanami defeated Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Yasu Urano when Tsukamoto pinned Nakano with the Spinning Zudon (15:24).
5. Union MAX Title – 3 Way Match: Shuji Ishikawa (c) defeated Daichi Kazato and Tsutomu Oosugi when Ishikawa pinned Kazato with the Splash Mountain (15:29).
*V2 for Shuji Ishikawa.

Shuji Ishikawa survived a 3 Way Match against two opponents who spent most of the match teaming up against him. The alliance between Daichi Kazato and Tsutomu Oosugi eventually broke down and that proved to be both of their downfalls. With them divided, Ishikawa found his spot to attack and won the match by pinning Kazato with the Splash Mountain. After the match he said a wrestler’s individuality is what makes them tick although Kazato is maybe a little too unique. Backstage Ishikawa said the match has sharpened his mind and he’ll keep defending his Union MAX Title. Oosugi took the responsibility for moving away from the plan with Kazato. He admitted to changing his mind halfway through the match when he started thinking he could win by himself. Kazato explained how the true enemy is the one within yourself. He thinks they can both beat Ishikawa next time if they can convince Takeru Inoue to join in and make the fight three against one.

The two teams in the upcoming Iron Fist Tag Team Titles match quickly got into a brawl with each other in Match #4. Takumi Tsukamoto ended up scoring the win for his side after giving Takato Nakano the Spinning Zudon. Despite feeling sore, Nakano said Aijin Tag are ready for the next warm up match as well as the tag title match later this month. Masato Kamino said Aijin Tag will win the Iron Fist Tag Titles because the belts were made for them. Tsukamoto is confident that he and Daiki Shimomura have what it takes to beat them on 27th March. They also doubt the challengers love the championships as much as they claim they do.

BASARA “BASARA 300 ~UTAGE~” Results

February 20, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 300 ~UTAGE~”, 20/02/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Chicharito Shoki defeated Takeru Inoue with the Floración (7:50).
2. 3 Way Match: Yasu Urano defeated Isami Kodaka and SAGAT when Urano pinned SAGAT with a Backslide Pin (10:00).
3. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Banana Senga when Nakano pinned Hiroshi with the Modified Kenkatabami (13:18).
4. Shuji Ishikawa, Daichi Kazato & Tsutomu Oosugi defeated FUMA, Ryuichi Sekine & Lil’ Kraken when Oosugi pinned Kraken with the Tsuki no Ishi (11:49).
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura (c) defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida when Tsukamoto pinned Ishida with the Running Zudon (16:41).
*V2 for Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura.

The Iron Fist Tag Team Champions had some sumo spirit of their own to combat Harimao and their “Dosukoi” efforts. Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida both had Daiki Shimomura scouted and came up with ways to keep him grounded. But Takumi Tsukamoto knew to target Ishida and had counters for the Flame Palm. Nakatsu made the mistake of missing Tsukamoto with a Lariat and hitting Ishida with it instead. He made up for it by breaking the pin after the Zudon but Tsukamoto couldn’t be stopped from using the running version of his finisher to pin Ishida.

After the match Tsukamoto praised his opponents and told Ishida he loves sumo so much he may as well be an expert of the sport. He knew Ishida was a strong sumo wrestlers so he was incredibly happy to fight him today. He then told Shimomura he doesn’t expect anybody to come out and challenge them so they should leave. However Aijin Tag then walked out and told the champions they are going to get the next title shot. Tsukamoto then played it off like he was expecting this to happen and Aijin Tag just fell into his trap. Takato Nakano told him Aijin Tag will show everyone that they are BASARA’s longest running tag team for a reason. He also later told Masato Kamino that he’s been messing around too much lately.

All three participants in the next Union MAX Title match were teaming together today. Daichi Kazato made it a difficult experience for the team because he spent more time trying to provoke Shuji Ishikawa than he did their opponents. Then whenever he did try to fight the other team he kept self-destructing with his moves. Kazato finally found his groove doing double team moves with Tsutomu Oosugi until Ishikawa decided to throw him out of the ring with the Splash Mountain! Oosugi then knocked Ishikawa out of the ring and got to win the match by himself. Ishikawa criticised Kazato, calling him a boring and self-centred wrestler. Kazato wants to know why Ishikawa really came back to BASARA and likened him to a middle aged man returning to his alma mater to regain his self-esteem. Meanwhile Oosugi later let some reporters know that he will be using Kazato as his secret weapon to win the 3 Way Match for the MAX Title!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

BASARA “BASARA 297 ~UTAGE~” Results

January 16, 2026

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

*Ryota Nakatsu fails in V7. Shuji Ishikawa becomes the 23rd Union MAX Champion!

Back when the Union MAX Title was created in 2013, Shuji Ishikawa was one of the first wrestlers to fight for it. He lost the match to become the first champion in Union Pro and never got to hold the belt until 13 years later. Due to some mismanagement involving Ken Ohka, Ishikawa was promised a title match if he came to BASARA for their final show of the year. Ryota Nakatsu felt the need to deliver that promise for the sake of protecting BASARA’s reputation. On the night itself, Nakatsu was accompanied to the ring by all of Harimao along with Daichi Kazato while Ishikawa was just by himself. His strength was overwhelming for the champion but Nakatsu found ways to fight back including using the Super Figure 4 Leg Lock, Buzzsaw Kicks and also La Magistral Cradle. When none of them worked he took a big risk by doing a Sky Twister Press but Ishikawa rolled out of the way. Nakatsu kicked out of the Splash Mountain so Ishikawa hit him with several Knee Strikes until he used the Giant Slam to win the title that originally belonged to his old home promotion.

Ishikawa greeted the BASARA fans after the match and praised Nakatsu because he could feel the power behind all of his moves. He wondered who will come out and challenge him first, suggesting Gouma Ryu as an opponent if nobody else will answer him. FUMA entered the ring and welcomed Ishikawa to BASARA. He told him BASARA will be celebrating its 10th Anniversary in January and it’s also been 10 years since Union Pro closed down. Ishikawa wants to know whose last decade of wrestling is more intense, FUMA’s or his own? FUMA warned him that over the last 10 years he has hunted wild boars that weigh over 200kg so he can easily take on a human that weighs over 100kg. Ishikawa said he is so dedicated to being the Union MAX Champion that he has already cleared his schedule for next year so he can defend the belt in BASARA! He accepts FUMA’s challenge for 31st January and they can even make it a 1,000 Roses Death Match for old time’s sake. He then closed out the show to the old Union Pro theme song, “Union Rocker” by ARB.

The Tag Gauntlet match was won by the Super Family team of SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken. They were the final entrants in the match but after the year they had, Kraken is not taking the victory for granted. He called Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura down to the ring. He said Shimomura has no integrity because he lost an Iron Fist Tag Team Titles match in November only to switch tag team partners and get another title shot one month later. But if that’s the way things work then Kraken will take an even more shameless route and demand his own undeserved title shot with SAGAT as his partner. Shimomura told him he could have just made a straightforward challenge and Tsukamoto decided it can take place at the 10th Anniversary show on 31st January.
