BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 22: THE BEGINNING IS THE END IS THE BEGINNING”, 27/05/2025
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
??? Fans
1. Special Tag Team Match: Chris Brookes & Shikaku SAYA (w/ Bunbun) defeated Chie Brookes & Kota Ibushikoshi (w/ Fukafuka) when SAYA pinned Kota Ibushikoshi with the Roll Cake (?:??).
2. Special Single Match: Fuminori Abe defeated Mr. Bueno with the O-Manjigatame (?:??).
3. BK-G Openweight Title: Mr. Malo (c) defeated Antonio Honda with the Unprettier (?:??).
*V1 for Mr. Malo.
4. Special Tag Team Match: Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei (w/ Karate Brahman) defeated Great King Ueki & Munek when Shu & Kei pinned Munek with the Gotai Fumanzoku (?:??).
This is what happens when somebody wants the most complete Brahman Brothers experience. Fans in ARENA Shimokitazawa were warned in advance to cover themselves with ponchos and protect their valuables for the main event because Baka Gaijin + Friends could not promise to protect them from The Brahmans in any way, shape or form. Great King Ueki & Munek weren’t intimidated by the warnings because they were more concerned over their plan to kidnap another princess. They got a woman in the crowd to step into their magical chamber (i.e stand behind the bar) and become their prisoner. This turn of events meant The Brahman Brothers were in fact the unlikely heroes coming to save the day! They were even accompanied by Karate Brahman in a rare public appearance.
The rescue attempt devolved into mayhem in quick fashion. Munek summoned an invisible wall to block his opponents but The Brahmans found a way to spray water passed it. They then proceeded to drench the venue with bottles and buckets of water while brawling with the other team. They opened up space in the room to do their bowling ball into the suitcase spot but Munek did his own magical version in return. That was when Karate Brahman unleashed his secret weapon. He stuck some fireworks up his nose, stripped down to his underwear and started singing while the other Brahmans lit up the fireworks! Ueki then sprayed him with a fire extinguisher which somehow caused Karate to join his side. Ueki stole the black ink from The Brahmans and used it to spit Poison Mist but he missed his target and blinded Karate by accident. The Brahmans then filled a plate with pizza sauce and threw it at Ueki, missing him and hitting Karate in the butt with it instead. Ueki pulled out more fireworks but Munek got pulled in the way of the blast. Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei then rolled up Munek in their Crucifix/Jackknife Pin combo to get the win. Karate Brahman tried to profess his love to the princess that was rescued but he was rejected.
In a much more tame affair, Mr. Malo defended the BK-G Openweight Title against Antonio Honda. The challenger was outmatched by Malo’s holds and had to grab random fans by the head to initiate rope breaks. Once Honda found his groove Malo resorted to cheating. However Honda had him scouted and blocked a Low Blow to keep control of the match. Malo turned things around my deflecting Gongitsune into hitting Daisuke Kiso. He grabbed a beer bottle but Honda took it from him. A recovered Kiso stopped Honda from using it as a weapon, accidentally making him drop it to the ground where it was smashed into pieces! Malo took advantage by giving Honda a Low Blow when Kiso couldn’t see it and he then won by doing the Unprettier onto the broken pieces of the bottle.
Mr. Bueno thought he was ready for a martial arts fight with Fuminori Abe but he was quickly kicked to the floor when the match began. Then as they fought back and forth Bueno wanted to know more about his opponent and asked for his name. When Abe answered him, Bueno confused him for Hiroshi Abe which made Fuminori mad. Bueno then kept confusing him for other famous Abe’s but when he introduced himself, Abe kept thinking his name was Ueno. Later Abe trapped Bueno in the Manjigatame and demanded he say his name right. Bueno fought out of it but when he wound up in the move again he tapped out.
The opening contest was designed to be one team of Chris Brookes & MAO taking on another team of Chris Brookes & MAO. Except the actual MAO was nowhere to be seen. Brookes instead teamed with Sakaya who tried her best to fill the square shaped hole that MAO left behind. The two were also accompanied by Bunbun. Facing them were Chie Koishikawa who was acting like Brookes and Kota Ibushikoshi who was acting like MAO. The two of them were joined by by Fukafuka, a hammerhead shark toy who looked identical to Chie’s usual shark toy Hanma-san. Both Bunbun and Fukufuka were tied to the rubber band for that spot and slingshotted into the wrestlers. The two MAO lookalikes tried to replicate the real thing but needed help to do so. Brookes had to lift up Sayaka and flip her around to make it look like she was doing a Moonsault for example. Also thanks to a slap from the real Brookes, Sayaka was able to roll up Ibushikoshi in the Cake Roll to get the win.
After a lengthy clean up the show ended with an announcement by Shin Suzuki. He will be producing his own show at TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi on 13th September called “STEEL HEART RUN” to celebrate the “10th (+1) Anniversary” of his debut. The +1 is because he’s one year off from when he actually debuted. He originally wanted to face Masahiro Takanashi in the main event but that is not currently possible so Brookes volunteered to be Suzuki’s opponent instead. Suzuki agreed to i and just to prove he won’t take it lightly, he grabbed Brookes by the nose and knocked him off his feet!
The next Baka Gaijin + Friends show will take place on 1st July. Brookes also announced that “FUCKED UP FEST 2” will take place at Tokyo BASEMENT MONSTAR later this year.

DDT “EARLY SUMMER BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2025 – DAY 2”, 21/05/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Daisuke Sasaki & Ilusion defeated Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda when Ilusion pinned Hirata with a Rotating Cradle (7:41).
2. 3 Count Vs 1 Count! Count Handicap Match: Jun Akiyama defeated Kazuma Sumi with the Running Knee Butt (0:10).

3. No English Match: Yukio Naya, Daichi Sato & Yuki Ishida defeated HARASHIMA, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Yuya Koroku by TKO when HARASHIMA said “Ring” (10:50).
4. Thank You Toru Owashi ~ Toru Owashi 20th Anniversary Of DDT Participation Series Vol. 2: Toru Owashi Vs Danshoku Dieno ended in a No Contest (6:20).
4a. Rematch: Toru Owashi & Hisaya Imabayashi defeated Danshoku Dieno & Yukinori Matsui when Imabayashi pinned Matsui with La Magistral Cradle (5:44).
5. Road To KING OF DDT 2025 FINAL!! Special 4 Way Match: Hideki Okatani defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Ueno and KANON when Okatani pinned KANON with a School Boy (10:47).
6. Takeshi Masada Produce Match – Hardcore Match: Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada when Katsumata pinned Masada with the Sauna Trance Splash onto the pool through the Table with Bunbun (20:20).
The latest Beer Garden show gave Takashi Masada the book to do whatever he wanted in the main event. He decided to take part in his very first Hardcore Match teaming with Chris Brookes to fight Shunma Katsumata & To-y. The wrestlers fought each other with ladders, buckets, plastic boxes, chairs and even an ear piercer. Then The 37KAMIINA wrestlers placed a kiddie pool filled with water on top of a table and laid Masada onto it. Bunbun had accompanied the SCHADENFREUDE International team and was sent on a wild ride. Katsumata climbed a nearby ladder with Bunbun, gave the puppet a kiss and then together they jumped off and crushed Masada with the Sauna Trance Splash to get the win. Masada said he had discovered a new style of pro wrestling, one that is super fun but also super painful.
The King Of DDT semi finals were previewed with the four wrestlers involved all taking part in a 4 Way Match against each other. Earlier in the show they had a press conference talking about the final rounds and some of the words said got on people’s nerves. Yuki Ueno thinks he will meet Hideki Okatani in the final so in response to that KANON said he expects to fight Kazusada Higuchi in the final instead. It made the 4 Way Match a free for all because nobody trusted each other to make a brief alliance. That worked out to Okatani’s advantage because he had Ilusion nearby to throw a chair at KANON’s face from ringside. Okatani then rolled up KANON for the three count after that. KANON admitted he left his guard down today but promised that won’t happen at Korakuen Hall. Okatani only said they’ll have fun on the day.
Things between Toru Owashi and Danshoku Dieno got so ridiculous during their match that Hisaya Imabayashi called it off. Yukinori Matsui didn’t appreciate the GM making the call instead of himself so they started arguing with each other. It got so rough that it turned into a tag match between Owashi & Imabayashi against Dieno & Matsui! Daisuke Kiso stepped in to be the ref and he counted Imabayashi pinning Matsui with La Magistral Cradle. Owashi & Imabayashi almost kissed to celebrate but the GM realised what was happening at the last second and left Owashi hanging.
The No English match began with both teams having five points. Every time a wrestler said an English word their team was deducted a point. This went on until the losing team reached 0 points.

9. Shosho Kogyo Co., Ltd. Presents Special Tag Match ~Sakuyakonohana Dramatic Dreams Vs Superhuman Teacher & Student Wrestling Masters~: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & Yuki Ueno defeated Daisuke Sasaki & Dick Togo when Ueno pinned Sasaki with the WR (26:59).
The annual Osaka show put together by referee Yukinori Matsui took place today with Konosuke Takeshita’s return to DDT as the headline match. He teamed up with his friend and rival Yuki Ueno to fight the master and student pairing of Dick Togo & Daisuke Sasaki. Togo acted like his normal self for the match rather than his House Of Torture persona and while Sasaki did fight a little dirty at points it was mostly a clean and competitive match between the two sides. An exposed turnbuckle made the most impact by coming into play late in the match. Togo & Sasaki both put their opponents in the Crossface Lock only for Takeshita & Ueno to grab each other by the hands and power out of the holds. Takeshita blocked Togo from doing the Diving Senton onto Ueno and when Togo gave him a Dropkick, Takeshita hit back with a Knee Strike that led to both of them going out of the ring. Sasaki tried to finish off Ueno himself but got a Dropkick to the face and was then pinned with the WR.
Ueno welcomed Takeshita back after the match, reminding him it’s been three years since they last teamed together. Takeshita thinks a lot of people who came to the show today know him more for his New Japan matches than his DDT career so he explained his backstory with Ueno to the fans. He doesn’t know if or when there will be a next time they are in the ring together so he told Ueno they will always be each other’s classmates. Matsui said the match was so amazing that it made him laugh. Togo wanted to shake Matsui’s hand but it was just a trap and he gave him the Pedigree before leaving. Ueno then thanked the fans for coming to the show.
Could we be seeing more of Kohei Kinoshita in the future? He recently announced he will be leaving Dove Pro in August but hasn’t said what his plans are going to be after that. Chris Brookes beat him today in a non-title match but could he be sending some signals out by having a good performance against the KO-D Openweight Champion?
Match #5 went off the deep end because of No Name. She took both Kikutaro and Kuishinbo Kamen away from the ring backstage and after a few moments some screaming could be heard coming from their direction. No Name then returned to the ring carrying their decapitated heads! Everyone else in the match fainted from shock including Matsui. No Name ran off with the heads and Daisuke Kiso had to call off the match. Antonio Honda, Shunma Katsumata and Ram Kaichow all recovered afterwards and helped Matsui regain consciousness by kicking him.
Takeshita’s mother Keiko Takeshita was in attendance and even interrupted the opening speeches. When Matsui tried to stop her she gave him a Lariat and the Rainmaker.

DDT “THAT’S RIGHT! LET’S GO TO BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2025”, 03/06/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
1. Referee Daisuke Kiso 15th Anniversary Match ~Special 6-Man Tag Match~: MAZADA, Minoru Fujta & Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs Yasu Urano, Akito & Shoko Nakajima
For 15 years Daisuke Kiso has been doing his best to officiate the chaos and nonsense that happens in DDT and Tokyo Joshi Pro rings. To celebrate he is gathering together six wrestlers who all mean a lot to him in some way for a 6-Man Tag Match. According to Kiso, MAZADA taught him the foundations of the wrestling world while Minoru Fujita once faced him in them middle of the crossroads between wrestling and life. Yasu Urano has already pointed him down the right path and Akito has been incredibly helpful to him ever since they started working together. Since TJPW means so much to him too he picked Shoko Nakajima to be in the match because she always puts her life on the line for the company. Last but not least he wants to be a part of Yoshiko Hasegawa’s retirement road and do everything he can to help her even if it’s just this little bit.
DDT “MY LOVE LETTER 2025”, 07/06/2025
Tokyo Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX
1. Antonio Honda 20th Anniversary Match ~ Special Single Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Antonio Honda
Another important milestone happening this year is Antonio Honda’s 20th anniversary. Chris Brookes asked him if he wanted to do an entire show to celebrate it. Honda considered it would be suitable for a Baka Gaijin + Friends sized show but he doesn’t have the desire to run an event himself. Brookes then asked Honda who he would like his opponent to be and he answered maybe Daisuke Sasaki. Word eventually made its way to DDT and they went and booked the match just for him. He is grateful for it.
DDT “D GENERATIONS 3 ~ACCELERATING BATTLE, UNSTOPPABLE AMBITION~”, 12/06/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
1. Special Single Match: Keisuke Ishii Vs Yuya Koroku
2. Special Tag Match: Shigehiro Irie & Shota Vs Takeshi Masada & Kazuma Sumi
So far the D GENERATIONS shows have seen the home side getting beaten and humiliated by the Young Communication wrestlers. For the third show the Young Generation are now thinking about taking the entire series over for themselves. Can’t blame Shota, Shigehiro Irie and Keisuke Ishii for acting that way if Takeshi Masada, Kazuma Sumi and Yuya Koroku can’t beat them.

DDT “DDT HARU NO KEN FESTIVAL ~STILL GOING ON IN UENO~”, 23/04/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion (w/ MJ Paul) defeated Yukio Naya, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Yuya Koroku when Sasaki submitted Matsunaga with the Crossface Lock (9:36).
2. O-40 Title: Antonio Honda defeated Toru Owashi (c) with a Crushed La Magistral Cradle (10:55).
*Toru Owashi fails in V1. Antonio Honda becomes the 7th O-40 Champion!
3. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada defeated Jun Akiyama & Daichi Sato when Masada pinned Sato with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (9:48).
4. Staggered Entry Tag Rumble: MAO & KANON defeated Shunma Katsumata & Yuni when MAO pinned Katsumata after the Lariat + McEnroe (22:22).
Order Of Elimination: HARASHIMA & Kazuma Sumi, Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida, Danshoku Dieno & To-y, Akito & Kazuki Hirata, Shunma Katsumata & Yuni.
5. Keigo Nakamura Send Off Match ~ Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno defeated Keigo Nakamura with the Jul.2 (17:32).
6. Emergency Match: Shinya Aoki defeated Keigo Nakamura by Referee Stoppage with a Shoulder Lock (1:11).
Today was Keigo Nakamura’s farewell match before he starts his indefinite excursion overseas. His send off match was against Yuki Ueno and he had most of the D GENERATIONS wrestlers all around ringside watching him on. Ueno won the match as expected but Nakamura’s day was not over yet. Ueno had a special present to give Nakamura and it was one more match, this time against his mentor Shinya Aoki! The bonus match didn’t last long because Aoki quickly put Nakamura in a Shoulder Lock and the ref stopped the match to stop Nakamura from fainting. After that match Nakamura told everyone he will do his best and come back stronger. He does not know how many years he will be gone for but he wants everyone to please keep supporting him.
The new tag team Strange Love Connection has already gotten themselves a new member. A Tag Rumble took place where the winners would get a wish granted for them. MAO & KANON won the match then were greeted by a voice from heaven asking for their wish. MAO asked to be paid five times more than he’s getting now but the voice told him that would be impossible. He then asked for 80% of the money made from their portrait sales but that’s impossible too. MAO then thought about it and asked if his rapper friend MC KIMIHIRO can join Strange Love Connection? KIMIHIRO is better on the microphone than MAO or KANON. That way whenever the team gets to close out the show, KIMIHIRO can do it for them. The voice granted the wish but not until the start of May because DDT is going to Sapporo before then and the airfare to there is expensive. MAO already has a plan in mind. Strange Love Connection want to steal NωA Jr.’s opening act performance from them!
The O-40 Title had not been defended since Toru Owashi won it last October and he really wanted to get rid of it. He claimed that nobody has stepped up to challenge him and all of his acrylic stand merch has sold out so there was no point in him being champion anymore. However Daisuke Kiso told everyone Owashi’s merch hadn’t sold out so he still has a reason to be a fighting champion. Owashi went out and tried to directly sell his stands to the crowd until Honda followed him and fought him back to the ring. Back in the ring the Gongitsune spot led to Kiso and Yukinori Matsui accidentally embracing each other to romantic music. Honda rolled up Owashi for a nearfall. Owashi then went for La Magistral Cradle but Honda blocked it and pinned him down for the three count to win the O-40 Title! Honda put the message out that he wants everyone over 40 years old to challenge him, including Stone Cold Steve Austin. He promised to defend the belt until it becomes the O-80 Championship!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE NIGHT BEFORE GRAND PRINCESS ’25”, 01/03/2025
Tokyo Kitazawa Town Hall
215 Fans
1. Pom Harajuku defeated Uta Takami with the Pom de Justice (6:19).
2. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Kira Summer & Chika Nanase when Kamifuku submitted Nanase with the Fujisawa Koroshi (9:06).
3. Miu Watanabe defeated Ivy Steele with the Reverse Paradox (7:27).
4. Suzume, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki defeated Moka Miyamoto, Yoshiko Hasegawa & Mifu Ashida when Suzume pinned Ashida with the Ring A Bell (9:02).
5. Mizuki & Arisu Endo defeated Haru Kazashiro & Toga when Endo pinned Kazashiro with the Ju no Okite (10:15).
6. Hyper Misao 10th Anniversary Match “hypedesz PROJECT-AUDITION” Final Audition ~ 1 Vs 5 Handicap Match: Rika Tatsumi, Yuki Aino, Raku, Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko defeated Hyper Misao when all five pinned Misao (5:44).
7. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh defeated Shoko Nakajima & Kaya Toribami when Itoh submitted Toribami with the Itoh Deluxe (14:50).
There’s still a handful of Tokyo Joshi Pro events coming up before “GRAND PRINCESS ’25” but this is pretty much the go home show. It was Shoko Nakajima’s last chance at facing 121000000 before their Princess Tag Team Titles. She teamed up with Kaya Toribami but was helpless to save her partner from tapping out to Maki Itoh. 121000000 taunted Nakajima with their title belts after the match but also admitted being frustrated by fighting her today. Miyu Yamashita even admitted that Nakajima made her angry today so she’s going to let it all out at the title match. It’s not enough for 121000000 to defend the titles. They also want to completely defeat Kyoraku Kyomei once and for all!
Nakajima’s usual tag partner Hyper Misao had other matters to deal with today. Namely her match that was celebrating the 10th anniversary of her debut. It was advertised as a 6-Woman Tag Match but when the other five wrestlers made their entrances, Misao came out and revealed they were actually taking part in the HyPro Final Audition of the Hypedesz Project. It would play out as a 5 Way Match with two count pinfalls. Whoever scores a fall would then be given a Misao related task and if they passed it, they would win the audition and become her best friend. Haruna Neko scored a fall and was told to perfectly copy Misao’s entrance. She tried to do it but Misao told her it looks completely different. Raku got the same task but also failed. When Mahiro Kiryu scored a fall she was told to listen to Misao’s entrance song and continue singing it without making any mistakes. She failed and Misao started to complain that nobody was motivated to win. By this point Rika Tatsumi got fed up, threw Misao into the ring and dared her to fight everyone else in a 5 Vs 1 Handicap Match. Surprisingly Misao accepted.
The match rules changed and Misao even put up a good fight against the number disadvantage. She even manipulated Yuki Aino into giving her some unintentional piggy back assistance so she could attack everyone with her Hero Spray. However the numbers took their toll and all five opponents piled on top of Misao to pin her after she did the I Am A Hero onto Tatsumi & Aino. Misao said she was disappointed she couldn’t even pass her own audition but she also packed in a bunch of unreasonable requests when putting this match together so in a way she feels satisfied. In the end she decided everyone passed! The lights then went out and a message appeared on the screen. “HYPE! 3” will take place at Kitazawa Town Hall on 27th June! As usual she hasn’t figured out what the show is actually going to be yet. But this time she is considering holding a public dress rehearsal for the show.
The Fujisawa Koroshi used by Yuki Kamifuku to win her match today is the temporary name for her Foot-Clutch Manjigatame submission hold.
Pom Harajuku wanted to spend her match celebrating Hinamatsuri (Girl’s Day) because it is happening in two days time. Uta Takami refused because she wanted to take their match seriously. Harajuku was still able to find ways to make Takami and also Daisuke Kiso play along with her.
There are some new homecoming shows being added to this year’s schedule. Yuki Kamifuku’s homecoming in Fujisawa will be on 11th May. Shino Suzuki’s homecoming in Shimizu will be o 24th May. Haruna Neko’s homecoming in Kofu will be on 21st June.

*Tetsu Inada becomes the 1,734th champion.
Continuing on from today’s earlier Shinkansen Pro Wrestling match, an 8-Woman Tag rematch of the bullet train bout took place in a more normal environment at Tokyo Joshi Pro’s evening show in Osaka. Raku was coming into the show as the new Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. She also brought along a bullet train shaped bento box she bought after that match and wanted to eat from it during the main event. Max The Impaler grabbed the box from Raku and gave it over to Pom Harajuku. That made both Raku & Aja Kong furious. Mizuki was still armed with her Pico Pico Hammer from earlier and she jumped off the top rope to strike Max over the head with a mighty downward swing. Kong also attacked Max with the steel can afterwards. Raku saw her moment and went to give Miyu Yamashita the Doctor Yellow but Yamashita countered it into the Attitude Adjustment. She then hit Raku with the Skull Kick for the victory, winning the Iron Man Title from her.
Maki Itoh encouraged Yamashita to pose for victory photos after the match but it was just so Itoh and Yuki Arai could try to roll her up from behind for the championship. Yamashita escaped with the belt and promised the fans she will defend the title for them. However backstage Yamashita was giving a post-match interview when all of a sudden a Rocket Punch flew across the room and knocked her out. It was launched by Sanshiro Takagi and he put the Mecha Fist back on to pin Yamashita for the title. Daisuke Kiso made the three count but declared it was the Mecha Fist that pinned Yamashita, not Takagi. So the new champion is the Mecha Fist! That didn’t last long because Tetsu Inada ran in, pushed Takagi aside and pinned Mecha Fist to win back the championship for himself.
Hyper Misao reminded everyone before the start of Match #5 that Kyoraku Kyomei have won this year’s Max Heart Tournament. She then made Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko mad by asking them if they took part in it this year? She had forgotten they were knocked out in Round 2 and lost their only match in the tournament. Kiryu grabbed the microphone off her and complained about being ran over by Kiryu’s Hyper Mobile three times in the last three months! She dared Misao to wrestle this match without relying on her bike. Misao was able to do just that, although she still used some of her other tricks. Shoko Nakajima hit Kiryu & Neko with a Double 619 and Misao pinned Kiryu with the Hypami Returns.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHINKANSEN JOSHI PRO WRESTLING PRODUCED BY SANSHIRO TAKAGI”, 15/02/2025
Nozomi 343 Departing From Tokyo Station
75 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House
1. Falls Count Anywhere 8-Woman Tag Match: Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh, Yuki Arai & Max The Impaler defeated Mizuki, Aja Kong, Miu Watanabe & Raku when Yamashita pinned Raku with the Crash Rabbit Heat Nozomi Special (43:58).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Raku defeated Tetsu Inada (c) by Knockout with the Lullaby (1:20 pm).
*Raku becomes the 1,731st champion.
When DDT held a match inside a travelling bullet train in 2023 it made headlines around the world. So this time Tokyo Joshi Pro wanted in on the action and got Sanshiro Takagi to put the match on a second time.
The train departed from Tokyo Station where Sayuri Namba was on board to start the introductions. When the train arrived at Shinagawa Station, Takagi stepped on board accompanied by Shino Suzuki and Uta Takami. The two of them joined up with Miu Watanabe and Raku so The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) could sing “Upper Kick!” up and down the aisle. However they had technical difficulties midway through. The rest of the wrestlers made their entrances when the train reached Shin-Yokohama Station. Mizuki arrived armed with a Pico Pico Hammer while Aja Kong carried a steel can onboard threatening to rip the bullet train apart!
The match started off with Watanabe and Miyu Yamashita. There was enough room in the aisle for Yamashita to Snapmare Watanabe and follow up with a Soccer Ball Kick. Yuki Arai fought with Mizuki but was chased down the train by Kong. Raku borrowed a cup of ice cream (which has a reputation on the Shinkansen of being served frozen solid) from one of the passengers and hit Arai over the head with it.
As the train was approaching Mt. Fuji, Kong wanted to get a good photo from the window. While she was looking for a good spot, Raku was trying to sing Arai to sleep in the middle of the aisle with towels and a pillow provided. Kong finally saw Mt. Fuji in the distance and stepped on top of Arai so she could lean over and get the best view.
Raku’s lullaby also sent Yamashita & Maki Itoh to sleep so Kong & Raku did the Oyasumi Express on them. Max The Impaler then took centre stage and had a violent pillow fight with Raku. Itoh took over by hitting the 300km/h Kokeshi on Raku and following up with the Cutest Knuckle Punch In The World.
The 121000000 pair started using double team moves until Mizuki attacked them with the Pico Pico Hammer. After that a a chain of multiple Headscissors was formed stretching down the aisle. Itoh then used a Boston Crab to flip the chain over.
A face off between Kong and Itoh then took place. Kong hit her over the head with the steel can but Itoh’s iron head took the blow no problem. Kong then Heabutted her but again she withstood the impact. As Itoh jumped onto Kong’s back to put her in a Sleeper Hold, the doorway opened for the arrival of the ticket inspector. Oh, the inspector is Minoru Suzuki!
When Suzuki saw the fighting going on he threw away the tickets and walked right over to confront the wrestlers. Not because they were causing trouble but because he wanted to show Itoh what a real Sleeper Hold on Kong looks like! He scared everyone off and got into fighting with Kong. Itoh found Mecha Mummy’s Mecha Fist on board and fired a Rocket Punch at Kong. She dodged it and Suzuki got hit instead. Suzuki then attacked Itoh and Kong joined in, causing Takagi to step in and break up the chaos.
Takagi successfully took Suzuki away so the match could continue. Watanabe lifted Itoh up into the Canadian Backbreaker and spun around in circles. Itoh was able to fight back by giving Watanabe the Stunner.
The match broke down into a free for all. Mizuki fought with Arai while Kong and Max were charging down both ends of the aisle to smash into each other in the middle. Their brawl made its way into another train car.
Yamashita targeted Raku with a High Kick. Others stopped her from giving Raku the Attitude Adjustment but she fought all of them off. Raku was left as a sitting duck as Yamashita ran down the aisle and hit her with the Crash Rabbit Heat at the combined travelling speed of 600km/h! Her math is the train was travelling at 285km/h which means the speed she hits the Crash Rabbit Heat reached 315km/h. That put an end to the match with Yamashita, Itoh, Arai & Max as the winners.
The match was finished but the train journey hadn’t completed yet to Yamashita, Itoh & Arai stuck around to talk about their victory. Arai asked if she could go home early because the train hadn’t even reached Nagoya yet. She had fun but it was tough and doing one more match like this would be enough for her. Itoh wanted to know why did Minoru Suzuki get on the train half-naked wearing a tiny hat? She has never seen a perverted train conductor like him before. She also wants TJPW to do more crazy matches in weird locations. She suggested they can go do one in Yamashita’s house. Yamashita refused and said it would be rude to do that without her permission. Itoh then suggested they do the match at Yamashita’s parents’ house. Again Yamashita refused because apparently one time she and Yuka Sakazaki actually had a wrestling match inside somebody’s house and they ended up destroying the place…
The train journey did not end there though. There was a bonus event for VIP passengers involved Arai, Raku & Max. While it was taking place, Tetsu Inada suddenly entered the train asking if he could take part too because he is the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. He was told no by Daisuke Kiso but refused to leave so Raku approached him from behind and started to sing a lullaby. Inada fell asleep right where he stood. Kiso then raised and dropped his arm three times signaling that he was knocked out, meaning Raku is now the new Iron Man Champion!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 5TH “FUTARI WA PRINCESS” MAX HEART TOURNAMENT”, 08/02/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
551 Fans
1. Yoshiko Hasegawa, Kaya Toribami & Chika Nanase defeated Shino Suzuki, Ivy Steele & Kira Summer when Hasegawa submitted Suzuki with the Muffler Hold (9:38).
2. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Mifu Ashida with the Famouser (7:01).
3. Raku & Ram Kaichow defeated Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko when Raku pinned Neko after the Cake Cutting Ceremony (8:10).
4. Arisu Endo defeated Wakana Uehara with the Ju no Okite (10:32).
5. Miu Watanabe defeated Uta Takami with a Batting Hammer (7:55).
6. Yuki Aino defeated Haru Kazashiro with the Venus DDT (8:27).
7. Rika Tatsumi & Toga defeated Mizuki & HIMAWARI when Tatsumi pinned HIMAWARI with the Twist Of Fate (15:22).
8. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) defeated Jada Stone with the Ring A Bell (12:29).
*V1 for Suzume.
9. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Final: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku when Nakajima pinned Harajuku with the Diving Senton (12:29).
It took five years for Kyoraku Kyomei to clear their quest. The last remaining team to have competed in every Max Heart Tournament to date have finally won it! The crowd in Korakuen Hall laughed when Hyper Misao told them before the match that she and Shoko Nakajima would win the final with a pure heart. Max The Impaler then attacked them before Misao could finish her promo. Misao quickly brought out the Hyper Mobile and charged into Max but Max moved out of the way and Misao crashed into Mahiro Kiryu instead. Max threw Nakajima around the room while Pom Harajuku got to reverse things by using Max as a weapon instead of the other way around. Nakajima used her surroundings to her advantage by hitting Max with a flying kick from a nearby railing. Misao then cycled the Hyper Mobile down the aisle and successfully crashed it into Max. Harajuku was left to fight Nakajima back in the ring by herself. She blocked the Locomotion Northern Lights Suplex and hit back with the Pom de Justice. But Nakajima got the better of her, getting the win with the Diving Senton while Misao got Max outside the ring with the I Am A Hero.
Nakajima told Misao after the match that ever since Kyoraku Kyomei was formed she’s had so much fun. But it was also frustrating for all of the times they couldn’t win their big matches. They finally made it to the top but she still feels a thorn in her heart. They lost to 121000000 in the Max Heart final two years ago and she still hates that it happened. She wants to get revenge by winning the Princess Tag Team Titles from them at “GRAND PRINCESS ’25”! Misao agreed and told her 121000000 will be defending the titles in Chile this weekend. Their message to the champs is if they lose the belts overseas then they are banned from returning to Japan! Harajuku told Max they weren’t able to win but thanks to this tournament Pompaler have become even closer. So in a way she already has a “Max Heart” she can cherish!
“The Spark” made her way back to Japan in the hopes of winning some gold. Jada Stone had Suzume’s moveset scouted, countering the Mikazuki Meteor Shower into a Samoan Drop and also turning the Ring-A-Bell into the Gory Special submission hold. However Suzume saw that Stone’s guard was down during the backflip that was meant to lead into the Spark Stunner so she stopped her momentum with a Dropkick to the back. From there Suzume was able to hit the Ring-A-Bell and win her first International Princess Title defence. Stone said it was a dream come true to fight in a big title match at Korakuen Hall but this is not going to be the end. She’ll be back to fight Suzume again. Stone is also still aiming to take a championship from Japan.
After the match Arisu Endo congratulated Suzume and asked her for a title shot. It just so happened that Suzume was going to nominate her Daisy Monkey partner anyway so they will have the match at “GRAND PRINCESS ’25” on 16th March! Suzume told reporters the two of them have long talked about having a championship match against each other some day. Now it is no longer going to be just a dream. Endo is the only opponent she wants to face at Ota Ward Gymnasium. Endo said they know each other so well from teaming together so it will all be about how they’re going to get through that. Endo is confident she can beat Suzume and become the champ!
A preview of the “GRAND PRINCESS ’25” main event pitted Mizuki and Rika Tatsumi against each other in a tag match. Mizuki avoided shaking Tatsumi’s hand before the bell and again when they were both tagged in for the first time. HIMAWARI attacked Tatsumi by whipping her with her hair so Tatsumi fought back by pulling on HIMAWARI’s hair. Mizuki used the Cutie Special to get rid of Toga but she was then hit by Tatsumi’s Spinning Backbreaker. Tatsumi then planted HIMAWARI with the Twist Of Fate to win. She would have preferred to directly beat Mizuki today but that just means she has more time to think about how she can get that result at the Princess Of Princess Title match. Toga feels similarly because she wants to avenge her loss to HIMAWARI in the Next Generation Tournament. Mizuki thinks Tatsumi’s love for her is very warped and isn’t really love. She doesn’t want to be hated though, so she isn’t sure how to open up to Tatsumi about the matter. It’s quite the problem because she doesn’t want to look at Tatsumi but knows if she takes her eyes off of her, she is going to lose.
Several matches on the undercard pitted the established Tokyo Joshi Pro roster against the Next Generation. The results were all straightforward without any upsets shaking up the status quo. Yuki Aino defeated Haru Kazashiro. She was in trouble when Kazashiro gave her the Fisherman Suplex but Aino kept on fighting. She ended up shrugging off some Dropkicks and pinned Kazashiro with the Venus DDT. Aino hasn’t won many singles matches in Korakuen so she is very happy with today’s result. She can tell just how much Kazashiro has grown both physically and mentally since their last singles match a year and a half ago. Kazashiro knows she can do more so she can get as strong as Aino.
Two of the Up Up Girls fought each other when Miu Watanabe fought Uta Takami in a mismatch of strength and experience. Takami wanted the match to be the culmination of her first year as a pro wrestler. She was able to catch her opponent in a Cobra Clutch and hit a Pop-Up Dropkick but other than that she had no chance. After stretching her with the Canadian Backbreaker, Watanabe then clobbered Takami with a Batting Hammer to win. She said she hopes Takami will continue to get stronger and walk her own path from here. Takami said if she had never met Watanabe she never would have become a pro wrestler. She is grateful to Watanabe for always watching over her.
Endo set herself up for her later title challenge by beating Wakana Uehara on the undercard. The result is payback for Uehara making Endo submit in the 1st Round to eliminate Daisy Monkey from this year’s tournament. She used a rope break to escape the Banana Pillow and then threw Uehara over by using the Waterwheel Drop. Uehara started a comeback but Endo stopped it with a Super Kick and then won by using the Ju no Okite. The Super Kick is particular is a move Endo said she’s been saving for the right time due to how effective it can be. Uehara said she always feel the need to chase after Endo because she was her mentor from Yume Pro Wrestling as well as her tag partner from her debut match. She thought she took a step forward when she submitted Endo in the tournament. But today she realised Endo has taken another step ahead since then.
The honeymoon period isn’t over yet. The “Newlywed Tag Team” Of Raku & Ram Kaichow are still acting lovey-dovey together (well it is Valentine’s Day next week). So much so that it annoyed Haruna Neko into attacking them with Mahiro Kiryu following suit. Raku had also made Kaichow some Valentine’s chocolate but Kiryu took it off them and ate some of it with Daisuke Kiso to get a suger rush power up. She of course later apologised to Kaichow over it. Ram & Kaichow got revenge by beating Neko with the Cake Cutting Ceremony double chop from the second rope. Unfortunately there was no chocolate left after the match. Raku promised to make more for Kaichow because Valentine’s Day hasn’t happened yet.
Mifu Ashida is still new to TJPW so it was time for Yuki Kamifuku to put her to the test. Kamifuku couldn’t help but compliment her opponent for having a pretty face while she was holding her down with an Indian Death Lock. Ashida hit her with some high kicks but Kamifuku took over with a Brainbuster and hit the Famouser for the victory. She praised Ashida for being confident when she heard her goal is to become the best wrestler in TJPW within a year. However Kamifuku dislikes people who carry that much motivation with them. Her advice to Ashida is she should get to know TJPW a little better before she goes around bragging about wanting to be the best. Ashida understands she has a lot more training to do before she can overcome high walls such as Kamifuku. She wants fans to watch her get stronger and climb to the top.
Since Shino Suzuki was teaming with two foreigners today, she treated her triple team moves with Ivy Steele & Kira Summer as if she was guiding them on a tour across Japan and ending at the Tokyo Dome. Steele & Summer were able to get Kaya Toribami & Chika Nanase out of the ring but Suzuki struggled to finish off Yoshiko Hasegawa. Instead Hasegawa fought her way to put Suzuki into the Muffler Hold and win the match by submission.
After Match #5 Watanabe received a video message from Willow Nightingale. The two were originally meant to have a match at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’22” but visa issues prevented it from ever happening. Soon Nightingale will return to TJPW so the match can finally take place! It will happen at “GRAND PRINCESS ’25” on 16th March. Watanabe said she’s been waiting for over two years and cannot wait for Nightingale to finally come back.

DDT “DDT MEET & GREET & FIGHT FEBRUARY”, 04/02/2025
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. D GENERATIONS CUP 2025 – B Block: To-y (2) defeated Yuni (0) with the Kojima Impact (6:22).
2. D GENERATIONS CUP 2025 – A Block: Ilusion (2) defeated Keigo Nakamura (0) with the Swanton Bomb (11:12).
3. D GENERATIONS CUP 2025 – A Block: Takeshi Masada (2) defeated Yuki Ishida (0) with Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (8:20).
4. D GENERATIONS CUP 2025 – B Block: Kazuma Sumi (2) defeated Yuya Koroku (0) with the School Boy (11:17).
A Block
1. Takeshi Masada (2)
-. Ilusion (2)
3. Yuki Ishida (0)
-. Keigo Nakamura (0)
B Block
1. Kazuma Sumi (2)
-. To-y (2)
3. Yuni (0)
-. Yuya Koroku (0)
The third annual D GENERATIONS CUP began as part of February’s “MEET & GREET & FIGHT” event. All eight competitors fought their first matches in the block stages. In the main event Kazuma Sumi kicked out of Yuya Koroku’s Fisherman’s Buster and stunned him with a Super Kick long enough to roll him over for the three count using the School Boy. Sumi said he was able to beat his toughest opponent in his first match of the tournament. He’ll beat everyone left to reach the top of the tournament. Koroku already knows he is in a bad position but thinks he can reach the final if he wins his two remaining matches.
The first tournament winner Takeshi Masada had a close call against Yuki Ishida (who had Kazusada Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura lead him down to the ring). He got caught with a Leg Scoop Back Drop and then hit with the Ensho but Masada stretched his foot out to get a rope break. Masada then Power Bombed Ishida into the turnbuckles and won with the Chikara KOBU Mukimuki. Masada said he won the match as planned except not in the way he planned it. He admits he would have lost if it wasn’t for the rope break. This year’s tournament will be the toughest and most painful one for him yet. Ishida said he will have to switch gears for his next match.
Outright cheating was the name of the game for Ilusion. He ambushed Keigo Nakamura from behind before the bell, attacked his knee with chairshots and also by dropping him knee first on top of nearby railings. The damage seemed to prevent Nakamura from making a comeback but he pulled off a gutsy effort to keep fighting. So much so that Ilusion Dropkicked Daisuke Kiso from behind and attacked Nakamura with even more chairs. Nakamura fought back but missed a Diving Headbutt, landing face first onto one of the chairs. Ilusion continued the beatdown until Kiso recovered. That was when Ilusion hit the Swanton Bomb to finish off Nakamura. He told reporters after the match that he is going to destroy this shitty tournament just like DAMNATION T.A will destroy shitty units like SCHADENFREUDE International. Nakamura said he will get his justice when overcomes Ilusion’s foul play and gets a three count on him.
Yuni wanted to prove his worth against last year’s DGC winner To-y by fighting him shirtles and getting into a Chop battle that left his chest red. Yuni would get two counts from a Reverse Hurricanrana followed by a Dropkick as well as a Casadora Bomb. But he was done for when To-y gave him the Kojima Impact to win the match. To-y had praise for Yuni but pointed out his own chest suffered no damage from the Chop battle. His next opponent will be Sumi but the only person he is interested in fighting is Chris Brookes. Yuni is frustrated both by the result and also that he couldn’t hurt To-y with his Chops. He knows Koroku can break his arm with submissions and Sumi can pin him with the School Boy but Yuni will overcome both challenges on his path to become the youngest tournament winner in DDT history.
