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.

What’s Going On Everywhere Else?

January 14, 2026

One good thing about Maki Itoh joining Stardom is I no longer have to write about GCW so much at the start of every month.

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

1. Takeru Inoue Vs Ryuma Sekimo

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 6TH “FUTARI WA PRINCESS” MAX HEART TOURNAMENT”, 17/01/2026
Yokohama Radiant Hall

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

1. Daichi Kazato Vs X
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 Union MAX Title is throwing itself back to its origins now that Shuji Ishikawa is the new champion. His first challenger is FUMA who has held the title both in Union Pro and in BASARA. Ishikawa joked they should bring back an old Union gimmick and have this be a 1,000 Roses Death Match for old time’s sake. He’s taking things a bit more seriously after FUMA said he hunts down boars that are heavier than Ishikawa.

When it comes to dominant factions in BASARA, the Super Family has not been one of them. But they’ve become tenacious enough to earn SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken a shot at the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles. The new champs Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura don’t want to lose the belts to anybody and they especially don’t want to lose to the Super Family!

As he promised a while back, Isami Kodaka returns from his absence in time for BASARA’s anniversary.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 6TH “FUTARI WA PRINCESS” MAX HEART TOURNAMENT”, 14/02/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Mahiro Kiryu (c) Vs Aja Kong
2. International Princess Title: MIRAI (c) Vs Toga
3. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Final: X & X Vs X & X

The prodigal daughter of TJPW MIRAI has come back to win the International Princess Title that was beyond her grasp in the past. Now she’s looking to the future where she sees an opponent with a similar smash heavy style as hers waiting to challenge her. Toga wants to show everyone she can get the job done without needing help from Yuna Manase or anyone else so she was the first one to ask MIRAI for a title shot.

The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title just can’t get away from Mahiro Kiryu. Every time she loses the belt, fate makes sure she finds a way to win it back. She now has a pinfall over Aja Kong because of this but that means Kong now wants to fight Kiryu one on one! She knows she can easily take the belt from her whenever she wants but she has enough pride to do it in the ring with a proper wrestling match. The bout will still go ahead if Kiryu loses the title to someone else beforehand.

The two title matches booked for this show are why Toga and Kiryu are not competing in this year’s Max Heart Tournament.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Special Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki & KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs X & X
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Arai

Second time’s the charm for Yuki Arai. She avenged her squash to Miyu Yamashita in the recent 6-Woman Elimination match and will now get to face Miu Watanabe for the Princess Of Princess Title. She couldn’t win the belt at Ota Ward Gymnasium last year but can she do it in Sumo Hall this year?

There are so many ways the Special Tag Match can go. It will be Konosuke Takeshita’s first time wrestling in TJPW (he was meant to be part of their US debut in 2020 but that show was cancelled due to covid) and he will be teaming up with his wife Yuka Sakazaki to make it a bigger deal. Their opponents have not been announced yet. The recent news of Shingo Takagi & Natsupoi led to some jokes about them being the other team in a battle of the happy couples. I think enough time has passed that the issue Sakazaki had with Natsupoi leaving TJPW years ago is now water under the bridge. The opponents are likely another mixed pair tag team though, one that doesn’t have to be romantically attached to each other.

The current list of guests who will wrestle on the show are Sareee, Lei Ying Lee, Aja Kong, Andreza Giant Panda and Minimo-chan with Mari Yaguchi accompanying it. Also Max The Impaler will be at the show.

BASARA “BASARA 296 ~UTAGE~” Results

December 31, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 296 ~UTAGE~”, 28/12/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Banana Senga defeated Takeru Inoue with a Crab Hold (6:28).
2. Takumi Tsukamoto, Daiki Shimomura & Tatsuya Hanami defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Yasu Urano & Minoru Fujita when Shimomura pinned Hiroshi with the Shimomura Style Hurricanrana (10:34).
3. Gauntlet Tag Match: SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken defeated Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA, Daichi Kazato & Tsutomu Oosugi and Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino.
3a. Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA defeated Daichi Kazato & Tsutomu Oosugi when FUMA submitted Kazato with an Armbar (8:12).
3b. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA when Nakano pinned Sekine with the Modified Kenkatabami (5:57).
3c. SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken defeated Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Kraken pinned Nakano with the period. (9:33).
4. Union MAX Title: Shuji Ishikawa defeated Ryota Nakatsu (c) with the Giant Slam (17:39).
*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.

The MJ2 outsider reign as Iron Fist Tag Team Champions has come to an end. Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura were able to bring the titles back home to BASARA and are now waiting for their first challengers to appear and make themselves known. The new champions made it their goal to raise the value of the championships while raising their own value along the way.

However Shimomura will have Takumi Tsukamoto as his partner this time and he is the kind of wrestler Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda like to fight.

A masked wrestler from India named Tokyo Ganesha first appeared last year in Michinoku Pro for their signature Fukumen World League tournament.

BASARA “BASARA 294 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~” Results

December 11, 2025

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

1. Wrestle Brain Jr. Heavyweight Title: Masato Kamino (c) defeated Takeru Inoue with the Lariat (11:16).
*V1 for Masato Kamino.
2. YJF Cruiserweight Title: Ayumu Honda (2) (c) defeated FUMA (1).
2a. Ayumu Honda (1) defeated FUMA (0) by Disqualification for ignoring the referee’s orders (2:44).
2b. FUMA (1) defeated Ayumu Honda (1) with a Kimura Lock (1:29).
2c. Ayumu Honda (2) defeated FUMA (1) with a Seoi-nage (1:42).
*V3 for Ayumu Honda.
3. TTT Indie Unified 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takumi Tsukamoto, Banana Senga & KURO-OBI (c) defeated SAGAT, Lil’ Kraken & Minoru Fujita when KURO-OBI submitted Kraken with an Ankle Lock (10:13).
*V3 for Kokutai Gundan.
4. BJW Jr. Heavyweight Title: Kosuke Sato (c) defeated Takato Nakano with the Bloody Sunday (12:46).
*V4 for Kosuke Sato.
5. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated Seiya Morohashi with La Magistral Cradle (17:16).
*V6 for Ryota Nakatsu.

A close shave for Ryota Nakatsu almost put an end to his Union MAX Title reign before his big defence at the end of the year. Seiya Morohashi countered the V Slider into the Crippler Crossface and Nakatsu got out of it to pin him with La Magistral Cradle. He praised Morohashi after the match for being such a noble macho man and then sent a message to Shuji Ishikawa for their title match on 28th December. The match was already on the schedule but Nakatsu felt it would be pointless if he didn’t publicly challenge Ishikawa beforehand. Backstage he said he now has new moves like La Magistral and the Super Figure 4 Arm Lock that will give him a good chance to beat Ishikawa. Morohashi complained that he didn’t lose and promised to keep appearing in BASARA to get revenge.

Both Takato Nakano and Kosuke Sato have known each other since high school and have trained together at the Hamaguchi Dojo. They were able to convince Big Japan and BASARA to let them have a BJW Jr. Heavyweight Title today. It was Nakano’s third shot at the championship but he couldn’t win it here. He has one more chance coming up on 30th December when BJW is holding a 6-Man Championship Scramble style match with Sato and Nakano both taking part. Sato wanted to see Isami Kodaka at today’s show but he wasn’t there so he left a message for him to get better and come back soon.

The entire show consisted of nothing but title matches up and down the card. Takumi Tsukamoto, Banana Senga & KURO-OBI have formed a team in TTT called Kokutai Gundan and they all wrestle while wearing black belts. They are the current TTT Indie Unified 6-Man Tag Team Champions and they were able to successfully defend them against the Super Family.

The YJF Cruiserweight Title is defended in Best 2 Out Of 3 Matches where only throws and grappling moves are permitted. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi served as the referee for the title match and even disqualified FUMA in the first match when he kept ignoring his instructions. FUMA made up for it in the second match by quickly tapping out Ayumu Honda with a Kimura Lock. But in the deciding round Honda scored the winning point with a Judo throw to retain the championship. After the match Daiki Shimomura walked out and demanded another shot at the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles. Hiroshi spoke on behalf of Honda and said he wouldn’t fight a weakling like Shimomura again. But when Shimomura invited Takumi Tsukamoto out to be his tag partner, Hiroshi said Honda is interested in fighting him so they can do the title match on 27th December.

Last but not least, Masato Kamino defeated Takeru Inoue to defend the Wrestle Brain Jr. Heavyweight Title. Five title matches on the show and none of them changed hands.

Two of the matches ended up being draws including one between Takato Nakano and Daiki Shimomura that went to a twenty minute draw. The Bad Kids were able to win the series thanks to Ryota Nakatsu and FUMA winning their matches.

BASARA “BASARA 292 ~UTAGE~” Results

November 18, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 292 ~UTAGE~”, 18/11/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. 3 Way Tag Match: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Daichi Kazato & Yasu Urano and Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano when Nakano pinned Inoue with a Spinning Crucifix Pin (10:40).
2. SAGAT, Lil’ Kraken & Minoru Fujita defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga when SAGAT pinned Hiroshi with the Super Earth Reverse Spin Slam (8:50).
3. Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Daiki Shimomura with the Running Zudon (8:52).
4. Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA defeated Munetatsu Nakamura & Shota Kawakami when FUMA submitted Kawakami with an Arm Bar (10:58).
5. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated Ken Ohka with the V Slider (13:24).
*V5 for Ryota Nakatsu.

The main event was a battle between the BASARA boss and the Ganbare☆Pro boss over the future of the Union MAX Title. The challenger Ken Ohka felt he deserved to take the championship as one of the few remaining Union Pro wrestlers still around. However Ryota Nakatsu withstood the Spear Of Flame and turned it into the V Slider to defend the championship. After the match Nakatsu confronted Ohka over a rumour that he already offered title match to somebody on 28th December if he ha become the champion today. Ohka admitted he did and the person he made the offer to was the one wrestler you think of above anyone else when it comes to Union Pro, Shuji Ishikawa!

28th December is the only date Ishikawa has available for the rest of the year so Ohka decided they could do the title match on that day’s BASARA show. Nakatsu thought about it and pointed out that Seiya Morohashi is also still active. Ohka then admitted he was going to give him a title shot on the 27th December BASARA show. Nakatsu decided he will give Morohashi a MAX Title shot on 11th December and the champion coming out of it will then defend the belt against Ishikawa on the 28th. He is aware that this plan can backfire and turn BASARA’s final show of the year into a Union Pro memorial!

Three days ago Daiki Shimomura & Lil’ Kraken went over to 2AW and lost to MJ2 in a failed attempt to bring the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles back to BASARA. After his match today, Shimomura said he isn’t giving up chasing after the title and now wants Takumi Tsukamoto to help get the belts back. Tsukamoto made sure that Shimomura is motivated enough to do that before accepting to team up with him.

Takato Nakano threw out a challenge to Kosuke Sato for the BJW Jr. Heavyweight Title. The two have known each other through the Hamaguchi Gym ever since Nakano moved to Tokyo when he was 18 years old. He thinks Sato is the wrestler most like himself and also the person he would like to wrestle the most.

3. Grace Project Sponsored Match: Toru Sugiura, Tomoya Hirata & Captain Grace defeated Isami Kodaka, Daichi Kazato & Daiki Shimomura when Hirata pinned Kazato with the Tower Hacker Bomb (9:24).
4. Hardcore Tag Match: Takumi Tsukamoto & Masashi Takeda defeated Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA when Tsukamoto pinned Sekine with the Zudon onto the Chairs (13:26).
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda (c) defeated Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Honda submitted Nakano with an Arm Bar (15:37).
*V2 for MJ2.
6. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi with the V Slider (15:42).
*V4 for Ryota Nakatsu.

The big move Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi kept trying to use in the Union MAX Title bout was the Perfect Plex. It took him several attempts to pull it off against Ryota Nakatsu but when it finally hit it wasn’t enough to pin the champion. Nakatsu brought in a counter attack that took Hiroshi’s energy away. But rather than finish him immediately, Nakatsu gave Hiroshi one last chance to fight back. Hiroshi hit him with a Knuckle Punch but had nothing left to give so Nakatsu gave him the V Slider and pinned him for three. Nakatsu praised Hiroshi for his passion and leaving his feelings all out in the ring. When he started to talk about his next title defence, Ken Ohka entered the ring chanting the number “4642” over and over. Ohka told Nakatsu that number is how many days its been since he left Union Pro Wrestling back on 13th February, 2013! Not a day has gone by without Ohka remembering Union Pro and the only thing left around that represents it is the Union MAX Title. As a Union original that belt has Ohka’s name on it which means he deserves to have it! Nakatsu accepted his challenge for 18th November.

The Iron Fist Tag Team Titles remain with MJ2 after Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda defeated Aijin Tag. Mashimo and Masato Kamino took each other out so the finish came down to Honda against Takato Nakano. Honda countered a roll up into an Arm Bar and increased the pressure by clutching onto Nakano’s leg. Nakano wouldn’t give up but the referee had to stop the match in MJ2’s favour. After the match Kyu Mogami spoke on behalf of his stablemates and said the next Iron Fist Tag Titles defence will happen at a 2AW show in Yokohama Radiant Hall on 15th November. Daiki Shimomura & Lil’ Kraken ended up confronting MJ2 backstage later to challenge them at that show.

Gouma Ryu will be taking a break from wrestling for a few months to focus on other priorities in his career. Today was his last match in BASARA for the time being until he returns.

BASARA “BASARA 289 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~” Results

October 2, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 289 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~”, 02/10/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. 3 Way Match: SAGAT defeated Banana Senga and Ryuma Sekimo when SAGAT pinned Sekio with the Goregrind (8:58).
2. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – B Block Round 1: Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA defeated Isami Kodaka & Takumi Tsukamoto when Sekine submitted Kodaka with the Let’s Combine (14:21).
3. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – A Block Round 1: Ryota Nakatsu & Daichi Kazato defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Tsutomu Oosugi when Nakatsu pinned Hiroshi with an Inverted Hurricanrana (11:47).
4. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – B Block Round 1: Kyu Mogami & Naka Shuma defeated Daiki Shimomura & Lil’ Kraken when Mogami pinned Kraken after a Weapon Attack (10:47).
5. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – A Block Round 1: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano when Nakano pinned Inoue with the Takagari (15:59).

This year’s IRON FIST Tag Tournament begins and Aijin Tag are feeling unstoppable. Their opponents Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano both have a background in volleyball and used volleyball inspired moves. They even name their team the Death Volleyball Club. Although they lost to Aijin Tag today, Inoue & Hatano claim just need to beat them the next two times they meet in order to become the real winners in the end.

The MJ2 domination in BASARA slightly increases with one half currently holding the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles and the other half here advancing past the first round. Kyu Mogami & Naka Shuma cheated to be Daiki Shimomura & Lil’ Kraken by attacking them with a chair. Neither of them thought the win was anything special and they felt like their opponents were missing for the entire match. They warn everyone that MJ2 is in BASARA to take it over!

Ryota Nakatsu got one back on Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi after getting pinned by him in Gunma last week. This time Nakatsu avoided the Spinebuster and used an Inverted Hurricanrana to get the three count on his upcoming Union MAX Title challenger. Daichi Kazato also thinks he and Nakatsu won because Gouma Ryu, the brains of WizRYU, wasn’t there to be with his team today. Shitamachi Rocket feel like they still need to improve as a team but if they have a score for today it is 95 out of 100.

The winners of the very first IRON FIST Tag Tournament decided to enter it again but couldn’t make it past the first round this time. Instead Ryuichi Sekine rolled up Isami Kodaka into a position for FUMA to kick him so Sekine could then apply the Let’s Combine to make Kodaka give up without Takumi Tsukamoto being able to stop it.

The IRON FIST Tag Tournament semi-finals on 15th October will be Shimatachi Rocket Vs Aijin Tag in the A Block and Hyakusho Ikki Vs MJ2 in the B Block. The final will take place on the same show.
