TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 01/05/2022 Shin-Kiba 1st RING 234 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House
1. HIMAWARI defeated Toga with a Half Crab Hold (7:03).
2. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami when Suzume pinned Toribami with the Ring A Bell (13:11).
3. Gabai Ji-chan defeated Mahiro Kiryu with an Inside Cradle (9:11).
4. Fluorescent Lighttube Death Match: Sawyer Wreck defeated Hikari Noa with the Choke Slam onto Lighttubes (11:01).
Thanks to the existence of the “TJPW INSPIRATION” shows, Hikari Noa gets to live her dream of doing deathmatches. She did one already once before but her second go raised the level by a lot because it contained lighttubes! It is an environment that her opponent Sawyer Wreck is more used to and it showed with her throwing Noa into the lighttubes attached to the ropes. Noa’s back got cut up from being slammed but she got to smash a few lighttubes over Wreck in return. Wreck won in the end by Choke Slamming Noa onto a bundle. Noa admitted the pain turned out to be more than she imagined but she still had fun because she got to do what she loved in front of everyone she cares about. She wants to another death match and next time she wants it to involve barbed wire!
Mahiro Kiryu found herself in an awkward position because her opponent was Gabai Ji-chan. Every time she attacked her opponent she got booed by the fans because she was beating up the elderly. It didn’t help that Ji-chan stepped into the gap between the entrance ramp and wrestling ring during his entrance, needing more help to get in. Everyone also discovered that Ji-chan’s slow movements come from his walking stick. When Kiryu held onto it, her body suddenly changed to that of a senior citizen. The same happened to Daisuke Kiso which resulted in him giving the slowest count when Kiryu pinned Ji-chan. It was long enough for Ji-chan to kick out and when he caught Kiryu in an Inside Cradle, Kiso gave a fast three count. Backstage Ji-chan approached Kiryu and suggested they go fight for a championship together. She didn’t understand what he meant so she went home instead.
Daisy Monkey were victorious against Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami in a tag team match. Toribami put Suzume in the Bird Cage submission but it was countered into a Modified Neck Lock that Miyamoto had to break it up. Arisu Endo took out Miyamoto with the Waterwheel Drop and Suzume ended up pinning Toribami with the Ring A Bell.
A rookie showcase between HIMAWARI and Toga opened up the show. Toga tried to work her opponent’s leg but it was HIMAWARI who locked on a Half Crab Hold to make her submit.
The opening speech took place with Sayuri Namba joined by Shino Suzuki. The two of them ran down each of the matches then Namba tried to get Suzuki to sing for everyone because there was no Up Up Girls performance booked.

6. Costume Change Match: Mizuki, Yuki Kamifuku & Pom Harajuku defeated Suzume, Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko when Mizuki pinned Kiryu with the Diving Foot Stomp (13:21).
The wrestler costumes in the main event went as follows: Mizuki was dressed as Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Kamifuku was dressed as Mahiro Kiryu, Pom Harajuku was dressed as Yuki Kamifuku, Suzume was dressed as Nao Kakuta, Mahiro Kiryu was dressed as Haruna Neko and Haruna Neko was dressed as Raku. Kamifuku apologised during the match for acting like a more authentic Kiryu than Kiryu. After the match Mizuki admitted it’s difficult to become someone else. Suzume said she would be happy if her efforts made everyone feel like they say Kakuta wrestle today. Neko said she was nervous so she watched videos of Raku in order to become her. Kiryu said she has new respect for Neko because she isn’t able to behave as a catgirl like she does.
The show began with a Cooking Match between Yuka Sakazaki and Moka Miyamoto. The two were tasked with cooking up a Okonomiyaki but first they had to compete in mini-games with the winners getting to choose their ingredients. Miyamoto won the games of jump rope and building a card castle and another card game to receive cabbage and pork belly. Sakazaki was left with chocolate and marshmellow. However Sakazaki won the third game of cards but was convinced by the audience to pick coffee flavored jelly over seafood mix. They spent the rest of the show creating their meal to be served to Daisuke Kiso before the main event. Kiso enjoyed both dishes and unexpectedly chose Sakazaki as the winner. He liked Miyamoto’s dish because as a traditional Okonomiyaki but Sakazaki’s tasted so sweet and had the bonus of her improvising with unusual ingredients that it won him over in the end.
The 5 Way Match was held under Tetsuya Koda Seat King rules. Chairs were placed in the ring each with a stipulation attached to it. HIMAWARI sat down on the chair that said “No Touch Rope” so she had to play a game against Miu Watanabe where you had to pin your opponent against the ropes for 3 seconds to win. Watanabe overpowered HIMAWARI and held her down onto the middle rope to eliminate her from the match. Next, Watanabe sat on the chair that said “Illustration” so she had a drawing contest against Hyper Misao. Everytime somebody got a 1 Count pin they got to draw something in 30 seconds and it was up to Koda to guess what it is. Whoever got Koda to guess correctly would win. Watanabe drew a “Frilled Lizard” but Koda thought it was Kamen Rider. Misao drew a Seahorse and Koda correctly guessed it, eliminating Watanabe. The third game was a “TK Quiz” between Misao and Arisu Endo. They had to answer trivia questions about Koda after every 1 Count pin. They got questions about Koda’s birthday and what he ate for breakfast wrong but Endo correctly guessed his blood type is B so Misao was now out of the game. The final game was a Cheering Contest between Endo and Rika Tatsumi. If neither wrestler could beat each other in 3 minutes then Koda will choose the winner based on who got cheered more. When it was time to decide, Koda declared that Endo was the winner! Tatsumi got angry over the result and slapped Koda across the face, which got her more cheers than during the match.
Haru Kazashiro was welcomed into Tokyo Joshi Pro’s Tokusatsu Club by Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Aino. Kazashiro is taking Nodoka Tenma’s spot in the group so the other members expected her to be in the same base position for their standing stacked spot. She wasn’t strong enough to do it so Nakajima & Aino decided to carry her and charge into their opponents instead. That also didn’t work.
GANBARE☆PRO “GANBARE☆PRO WRESTLING PLAYERS ASSOCIATION PERFORMANCE”, 23/02/2023 Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR 89 Fans
1. GanPro Specialty Mixed Tag Match: Yumehito Imanari & HARUKAZE defeated Kentaro Hachisu & Moeka Haruhi when Imanari pinned Hachisu with the Lou Thesz Press (12:05).
2. 3 Way Match: Hong Kong International Policewoman (YuuRI) and Hong Kong Domestic Policewoman (Yoshiko Hasegawa) defeated Hong Kong International Policeman when International Policewoman and Domestic Policewoman both pinned Policeman after the Domestic Nunchuck Punch (15:17).
3. All Pro-gun Vs New Pro-gun: Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Ken Ohka & Shota ended in a Double Countout (10:20).
3a. Rematch – The Return Of LariPro 2023: Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Ken Ohka & Shota ended in a Draw after a Quadruple Knockout (10:20).
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Mizuki Watase, Takuya Wada & Yuki Kanzaki defeated Shinichiro Tominaga, Tyson Maeguchi & Munetatsu Nakamura when Watase pinned Nakamura with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (24:36).
The last Ganbare☆Pro show of today kept Mizuki Watase and Shinichiro Tominaga apart in different matches, although they did interact in a contract signing at the start of the show. The main event instead focused on Watase fighting against the rookie Munetatsu Nakamura. Watase encouraged his opponent to keep firing Elbow Strikes at him before stopping him with a Dropkick to the face. Nakamura kicked out of that but was then pinned with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster. Watase praised Nakamura after the match, telling him he’s happy to see such a gutsy newcomer in Ganpro.
The return of Lariat Pro Wrestling was delayed when both teams decided to do a match between “All Pro” and “New Pro” tributes. Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga were on the “All Pro” side while the “New Pro” team was made up of Ken Ohka & Shota. Everyone changed their movesets to the theme songs of famous wrestlers that played throughout the match. Things got out of hand and the fighting made its way out of the ring, causing the match to end in a Double Countout. A rematch immediately happened, this time under the Lariat Pro Wrestling brand. Everyone threw Lariats at each other until all four of them were knocked out, resulting in another draw.
The 3 Way Match turned into a scheduling nightmare because none of the original participants were around to take part. Hong Kong International Policeman was missing so Choun-Shiryu appeared in his place. Yoshiko Hasegawa was gone so Hong Kong Domestic Policewoman took her place. Then it turned out YuuRI wasn’t there either so Hong Kong International Policewoman had to substitute for her. The two Policewomen agreed to fight Shiryu two on one. He got annoyed by that and left the match halfway through. Then all of a sudden Hong Kong International Policeman finally showed up and started planting evidence on people to “catch” them red handed. He allegedly found a bag of pills in Daisuke Kiso’s pocket and made the referee overlook any of his cheating in return for letting him off the hook. The two Policewomen had enough though and double teamed the corrupt cop, pinning him together while Kiso made a fast three count. Hong Kong International Policeman was arrested after the match and dragged out of the venue in handcuffs.
The show began with a contract signing for the Spirit Of Ganbare Title match. Tominaga admitted that Watase embodies the spirit of Ganpro more than anyone else in the promotion, which means he works harder than everybody. Tominaga cannot match that but he would have never challenged Watase if he wasn’t confident he could beat him. Watase is nursing an injured arm but will fight through the pain. He heard Daisuke Kiso will be the referee so he told him not to stop the match if his arm injury gets worse. Even if he suffers a broken arm, Watase will still fight.

5. Mizuki Debut 10th Anniversary Match: Mizuki & Rika Tatsumi defeated Yuka Sakazaki & Nao Kakuta when Mizuki pinned Kakuta with the Cutie Special (18:12).
On 29th December 2012 Mizuki made her pro wrestling debut for the LLPW-X promotion. A decade later and she is celebrating 10 years in the business under the Tokyo Joshi Pro banner. She was showered in paper streamers for her ring entrance before the main event. The tag match has unusual pairings because the usual tag partners Mizuki and Yuka Sakazaki were this time opponents. Sakazaki was jealous to see Rika Tatsumi pull off double team moves with her tag partner and the two started fighting over Mizuki. Nao Kakuta had to smack everyone over their heads to get the match back on track. Mizuki made the most of her special day by winning the match. She wiped out Sakazaki with the Whirling Candy before pinning Kakuta with the Cutie Special.
After the match Tatsumi had to stop Sakazaki & Kakuta from leaving the ring so they could all celebrate Mizuki’s anniversary together. She said she was really happy to be chosen as Mizuki’s partner for the special occasion. Mizuki thanked Tatsumi and also added it was for the first and last time. Tatsumi tried to change her mind but got cut off. Mizuki spoke about when she debuted with SAKI and they survived the early part of their careers together. Over the years Mizuki was surrounded by her senior wrestlers who she respected and then made her way to TJPW where she made a lot of new friends. She wants to continue fighting for everyone who supports her. Backstage she slightly changed her mind about not teaming with Tatsumi ever again. They could do it once every ten years. As for fighting Sakazaki again, Mizuki has mixed feelings about it. She thought she would never want to fight Sakazaki but what she does know is she wants to continue working with her for a long time.
Rhio gets to go home with her head held high. She got the pinfall in her final match of her tour, pinning Moka Miyamoto with her version of the Neck Screw Hold called the Dreaded End. The match was important for Yuki Arai too because she got to fight against a foreign wrestler again. Even though her team lost, Arai’s confidence has grown and she no longer fears having to wrestle against opponents from overseas. She now has a more positive mindset going into her upcoming Princess Tag Team Titles defence against the Wasteland War Party.
A show all about Mizuki needed a match full of Mizuki’s. There was a Rumble match featuring several TJPW wrestlers all dressed in one of Mizuki’s old costumes. Hyper Misao declared herself to be Mizuki II and tried to sing “Setsunairo” until the others physically stopped her. Pom Harajuku attempted the Whirling Candy but failed. Misao asked the other Mizuki’s what they had for breakfast. Everyone said yogurt, except for Miu Watanabe. She said she had protein. Misao argued a proper Mizuki would never eat protein so Watanabe should be disqualified but Daisuke Kiso refused her demand. The final entrant Miyu Yamashita came down wearing the outfit from her own debut match. Her excuse was none of Mizuki’s costumes fitted her and this was the closest replacement she could find. Kiso didn’t accept the explanation and disqualified her. Misao convinced Suzume to try and do the Toy Story 4 together but when they made it to the top rope, Misao betrated Suzume and pushed her out of the ring. She then did the I Am A Hero to Watanabe and Yuki Aino but was caught and thrown over the top rope by both of them. Watanabe tried to do the Diving Foot Stomp from the top rope but being up so high made her legs shake and she froze until the others knocked her out of the ring. The final two were Aino and Harajuku. They both attempted the Cutie Special but neither could pull it off. Aino was able to get Harajuku onto the apron and Dropkicked her to the floor to win the Battle Royale full of Mizuki’s!
Two new debuts will take place on 4th January. Wakana Uehara and HIMAWARI will have their first pro matches on the show. Uehara is from the Yume Pro Wrestling -dream on the ring- series and said she is happy to go from an exhibition match to a pro match. She wants to make TJPW more exciting. HIMAWARI (formerly Himawari Sato) can’t wait for her match to happen because right now it does not feel real yet. She wants to do her best to entertain the fans.
The full card for the Christmas Eve show in Ryogoku KFC Hall was revealed at the start of the show. Most of the matches were determined by a lottery with different fans picking names out of a box.

4. Daisuke Sekimoto defeated Masahiro Takanashi with a Modified Muffler Hold (23:09).
The 2010 Miracle Match between Masahiro Takanashi Vs Daisuke Sekimoto was revisited on today’s independently promoted show. Much like the first time, Takanashi was the big underdog but this time he was a much more crafty veteran. He targeted Sekimoto’s arms and continued to do so after Sekimoto missed a Lariat outside the ring and hit the ring post. The power difference just couldn’t be avoided though. Takanashi tried to hit the Takatonic from the top rope in a moment that flashed everyone’s minds back to 2010. Sekimoto blocked the move but before he could drop down and crush his opponent just like he did back then, Takanashi instead flipped over and Power Bombed him from the rope. The Takatonic was blocked again and every failed attempt to pin Sekimoto afterwards saw Takanashi’s chances fade away. The German Suplex that would normally end the match wasn’t hit perfectly so Sekimoto grabbed Takanashi in a Muffler Stretch and held his opponent up until Takanashi gave up. The two shook hands after the match but neither of them gave any speeches. Instead the show ended with Takanashi bowing to the audience on his knees and leaving the ring without comment.
Team Drift used Keisuke Ishii’s old theme music for their entrance. Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao also wore the same Team Dream Futures shirt while Ishii wore the shirt made for their farewell.
The special costume Mei Suruga wears for her entrance included flashing lights. During an outside the ring brawl with MAO, Suruga put the costume back on and dived from one of the nearby counters. She landed her attack and MAO complained afterwards that he could have gotten an electric shock. He then wrapped the costume around his arm and hit Suruga with an Axe Bomber. Inside the ring Suruga tried to put on the Cattle Mutilation but MAO kept countering it, eventually putting her in the Wedding Clutch for the pinfall.
A surprise match between Minoru Fujita and DJ Nira took place that went awry after Nira knocked out Daisuke Kiso with his umbrella. When Kiso woke up and was provoked by Nira again, he declared he was adding himself to the match, making it a 3 Way. The three of them locked up and the room suddenly went dark. Then there was an announcement that Kiso had seriously injured his opponents and escaped, leaving the ring completely empty. There was then an announcment that a new life was suddenly born. A spotlight then shined over to Hoshitango wearing diapers and crying like a baby. Then there was another announcement, this one saying Sekimoto quietly passed away on the morning of his match against Takanashi 12 years ago.
There was a brief exchange back and forth of the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title between Saki Akai and Ram Kaichow. When their match ended, Kaichow rolled up Akai and pinned her for the belt. Akai then attacked her with the Brahman Brothers’ suitcase. Yuko Miyamoto tried to rescue Kaichow but accidentaly Elbow Dropped her instead. Akai then pinned Kaichow to win back the title.
The wrestler called Emi Sakura W in the Gauntlet Tag match is Papillon Akemi pretending to be her. The gimmick has been used in Gatoh Move before.
The UMA Corps turned on Gota Ihashi after the dark match after Miyako Haru ordered Shinsetsu Gomu Ningen to attack him. KUDO came to the rescue, scared them off and told Ihashi the Ebisuko Tavern was now protected. Ihashi told KUDO he hasn’t given up on his dream of becoming the tavern’s manager. KUDO gave Ihashi a Buzzsaw Kick in response and Ihashi apologised for trying to overthrow his boss.

5. Costume Change 6-Woman Tag Match: Rika Tatsumi, Suzume & Moka Miyamoto defeated Mizuki, Raku & Pom Harajuku when Tatsumi pinned Harajuku with the Twist Of Fate (10:38).
Everyone in the main event all wore different costumes from other members of the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster. Rika Tatsumi wore Yuka Sakazaki’s costume, Suzume wore Miu Watanabe’s costume, Moka Miyamoto wore Raku’s costume, Mizuki wore Maki Itoh’s costume, Raku wore Tatsumi’s costume and Pom Harajuku wore a Nodoka-oneesan costume. Mizuki was joined by Itoh and together sang “Setsunairo” for her entrance. Along with the change in costumes there were change in behaviours too. Everyone tried wrestling as the women they were dressed as.
A team of Dog Lovers took on a team of Cat Lovers in a series of singles matches. Yuki Kamifuku, Hikari Noa & Arisu Endo all had dog ears, face paint and pictures of their pet dogs hanging over their necks. Hyper Misao, Nao Kakuta & Mahiro Kiryu were the same but with cats. Noa beat Kiryu in the first match after taking the photo of Kiryu’s cat as a distraction. Then in the second match Misao pinned Endo to even the score. The third and deciding match between Kamifuku and Kakuta got interrupted when Haruna Neko was brought into the ring as a hostage for the Dog Lovers. The Cat Lovers all said they didn’t care about her which caused Neko to attack all of them in anger. Daisuke Kiso tried to calm Neko down but then she started attacking him causing the match to get called off.
Neko had a match scheduled against Miyu Yamashita but Yamashita was running late. She had wrestled in Spain earlier in the week but only just arrived home in Japan today. Sayuri Namba had to sing “Makenaide” by ZARD to pass the time until Yamashita finally arrived in the venue. She wore her wrestling gear underneath her clothes and had to undress in the ring before the match began.
A game of Werewolf took place in the 4 Way match. Each wrestler took a card, three had Citizen written on it and one said Werewolf. The Werewolf had to keep their role secret and would win if two Citizens were eliminated. If the Werewolf was beaten before that then all three Citizens would win. It led to the women acting sus over who was the Werewolf among us. Shoko Nakajima thought the Werewolf was Yuki Aino because this was her first time wrestling on a TJPW Fan Club show (she was always weirdly absent from the previous shows and replaced by mysterious masked wrestlers). When Nakajima pinned her for the elimination it was revealed she was a Citizen. Itoh then pinned Nakajima for the elimination only to find out Nakajima was a Citizen too. That meant Kaya Toribami was the Werewolf and lasted long enough to be declared the winner!
Sakazaki and Watanabe were put in a cooking contest against each other. But first they took part in a few mini games to determine what ingredients they get to use. The winner of each game got a better ingredient. Sakazaki won a hair-braiding race but Watanabe won a jump rope game and also a drawing contest (Sakazaki was asked to draw St. Francis Xavier while Watanabe drew Oda Nobunaga). They spent the rest of the show preparing the meal and Daisuke Kiso judged them before the main event. Kiso picked Sakazaki’s food as the winner, pretty much because the meat used was already a commercial product he likes.

6a. Rematch: Yuki Ueno defeated Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno with the BME (0:33).
7. BURNING Vs Eruption!: Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani defeated Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada when Higuchi pinned Okatani with the Brain Claw Slam (17:36).
Upcoming trios partners were opponents on today’s show. Kazusada Higuchi is still feeling cold towards Tetsuya Endo & Jun Akiyama and exchanged words with them after the main event. Higuchi got on the microphone and told the fans he can’t really say anything about the “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022” match they’re in but he would rather beat the NOAH team using his own power instead of working with the two BURNING wrestler. Higuchi also wants Eruption to win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles next week so both can move up. He explained more backstage about why he has tension with Endo & Akiyama. He said if you look at what DDT has done in the last year or two, you would understand why he isn’t thrilled about teaming with them.
This has the two BURNING wrestlers concerned about the tag match against NOAH. If they are not all on the same page then Akiyama thinks the only way they will win is if they target Atsushi Kotoge. Endo is not happy with that idea and will only be satisfied with winning if they can beat Naomichi Marufuji directly. They need to get the message across to Higuchi that this match against NOAH is a rivalry, not a friendly exhibition.
Before Yuki Ueno’s match with Danshoku Dieno began, Dieno walked over to Makoto Oishi and bribed him with some money to go do something over on the stage. He then told Ueno he will beat him in under 10 minutes and demanded their match be held under “Raw Ass Close Call” Sexy Train Rules! Hisaya Imabayashi encouraged Ueno to accept the challenge even though neither of them knew what the rule means. Yuki Iino then walked out on the stage carrying an unconscious Toi Kojima. Iino and Oishi taped Kojima to a chair and then Iino stood on a trolley across the stage with his bare backside pointed towards Kojima. The Sexy Train rule is Oishi will slowly push Iino towards Kojima as the match progresses until his butt meets Kojima’s face at the 10 minute mark! At the eight minute mark of the match, Dieno threatened to pull down the last of his tights causing Imabayashi to stop the match. However Ueno told him that Kojima hates it when things are done halfway so he convinced the GM to restart the match with one minute left. Ueno quickly pinned Dieno with the BME. Unfortunately by the time he got up to the stage to rescue his friend, Iino got his final push and Kojima got his face full of his backside.
Yukio Naya challenged Yuji Hino to a singles match. They’ve been a tag team together for months but their win-loss record is not great. Naya thinks in order to become stronger and start getting the results he wants he will have to fight Hino as well as team with him.
The Chris Brookes Vs Yuki Ishida match was almost like a tag match because Brookes dragged both Daisuke Kiso and Yukinori Matsui into getting physical. Brookes grabbed Kiso for leverage to block Ishida’s moves. He then used Matsui as a shield to take Ishida’s Sumo Slaps. One last disrespectful move was done when Brookes used the Michinoku Driver II (one of MAO’s finishers) to win the match.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW UNIVERSE MEMBER BOX OFFICE – PURE TOKYO JOSHI PRO WRESTLING 6”, 06/03/2022 Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall 140 Fans -Super No Vacancy Full House
1. Cooking Match – Rice You Want To Make On White Day: Arisu Endo (Omelet Rice) defeated Yuka Sakazaki (Napolitan) by Daisuke Kiso Judgement.
2. Banned Act Lost Point System Tag Match: Miu Watanabe & Moka Miyamoto defeated Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh by TKO (11:03).

5. Costume Change 6-Woman Tag Match: Rika Tatsumi, Marika Kobashi & Suzume defeated Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta & Mahiro Kiryu when Tatsumi submitted Kiryu with the Torso Squeeze Dragon Sleeper (13:59).
There were a lot of costume swapping on the show. When Sayuri Namba walked out for the opening introductions it was actually Pom Harajuku dressed as her. Then all the wrestlers in the main event had to pick a random back containing another person’s costume. Rika Tatsumi got Yuki Arai’s gear, Marika Kobashi got Raku’s gear, Suzume got Harajuku’s gear, Hikari Noa got Nao Kakuta’s gear, Kakuta got Tatsumi’s gear and Mahiro Kiryu got Yuki Aino’s gear.
Once again and for the last time, The Bakuretsu Sisters were missing from the fan club show and had to be replaced at the last minute. The good news is fans got the return of The NodoCaras Sisters!
Everyone in the 5 Way match had a piece of hiragana written on the sole of their foot. A wrestler was eliminated if their opponents read out the hiragana on their sole. The ultimate goal was to find all of the characters and correctly guess what word it spelt. Shoko Nakajima got it right in the end and discovered the anagram was of “Kokugikan”.
Each wrestler in Match #2 was banned from doing a particular action. Miyu Yamashita was not allowed to kick, Maki Itoh couldn’t use the DDT, Miu Watanabe was banned from lifting opponents and Moka Miyamoto couldn’t throw straight fist punches. 121000000 ended up losing when they lost their concentration and did a High Kick and DDT to their opponents at the same time.
Yuka Sakazaki and Arisu Endo took part in a cooking contest against each other. They were tasked with making a meal for Daisuke Kiso to eat. Kiso judged that Endo’s food was better so she was the winner.

Kamifuku, Noa and Miyamoto all tested positive while Itoh was identified as a close contact. This prompted the rest of the roster to take fresh PCR tests and they have since all come back negative.

Instead Chris Brookes will team with Antonio Honda to take on Yuki Iino & Yumehito Imanari in a non-tournament match. CDK’s next league match is scheduled for 14th February so Takanashi could be cleared in time for that.

7. 2nd “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Final: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe Vs Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino
Itoh will be able to return at the 11th February Korakuen Hall show and Kamifuku is aiming to be cleared in time to be on the show too. So for the moment their International Princess Title match is still on the schedule. However the match will get called off if Kamifuku’s condition does not improve by then. The timing of Noa and Miyamoto getting their positive results back might prevent them from being on the show depending on when they started their isolation periods. The easy solution if they can’t show up is to replace Noa with Miyamoto’s opponent Arisu Endo and just do six matches instead of seven.

5. DDT Extreme Title – Turkish Wrestling Rules: Shinya Aoki (c) Vs Yuki “Sexy” Iino
The DDT Extreme Title match will be held under Turkish Wrestling Rules. Both Shinya Aoki and Yuki Iino will have oil rubbed all over their bodies before the match. They are also allowed to have one ringside attendant each to apply more oil to them whenever they ask for it. Danshoku Dieno believes Aoki came up with the stipulation because a greased up body is difficult to grab. In reality, Aoki picked the match because he wants Yumiko Hotta to be his attendant and rub his body down.
