R.I.P Tomohiko Hashimoto
August 7, 2025
Earlier this week Pro Wrestling A-TEAM announced Tomohiko Hashimoto passed away on 5th August after a year long battle with liver cancer. He was 47 years old. A former judoka, Hashimoto made the switch to pro wrestling by training under Koichiro Kimura. Shortly after his debut match in 2000 he started working for DDT where he was a mainstay of the company for six years (he officially joined them in 2002). He found success there as a tag team wrestler, winning a few Tag Leagues in the early 2000s and also holding the KO-D Tag Team Title three times with three different partners (Sanshiro Takagi, Seiya Morohashi and Nobutaka Moribe).
He got to team with Big Van Vader for Vader’s only DDT appearance ever in 2005. The Vader association stuck with him because they continued working together elsewhere and Hashimoto also won a singles tournament named after the man in 2008. Hashimoto also competed in several MMA fights during his time in DDT. With a 1-4 record, the most notable opponent he faced was Alistair Overeem in a bout that only lasted 36 seconds before he lost by TKO.
He went freelance in 2006, only appearing in DDT on rare occasions. He created TEAM MAKEHEN and during his time there trained The Shirai Sisters for their pro debuts. Apache Pro Wrestling became his next home when MAKEHEN closed down in 2010. When that promotion went away in 2016 Hashimoto went on to create its successor Pro Wrestling A-TEAM where he remained until his death.
Hashimoto was diagnosed with stage 2 liver cancer last September after dealing with health issues going back to February of that year. He used radiofrequency ablation treatment to continue wrestling until he reached a point where he had to step away from the ring. After wrestling his last match on 22nd June he made a promise to his fans he would come back one more time no matter what.
A-TEAM were planning to run a charity show at Shin-Kiba 1st RING to raise money for Hashimoto’s medical expenses. Everyone taking part in the show had agreed to do it for free and all of the proceeds outside of necessary expenses would have went to Hashimoto. After the news of Hashimoto’s passing came out, A-TEAM said they will make an announcement about the show’s future on a later date.
Among the wrestlers who have paid tribute to Hashimoto on social media these past few days include Iyo Sky, Atsushi Onita, Satoshi Kojima, Mitsuhiro Matsunaga and Yuu.

Hype! 3 Rerun, BASARA Looking For Momentum, Takeshita & Tekechi Teaming Up
August 4, 2025TOKYO JOSHI PRO “HYPER MISAO PRODUCE ~ HYPE! 3 (RERUN)”, 05/08/2025
Tokyo Kitazawa Town Hall
The second performance of “HYPE! 3” will not be completely identical to the first one. It sounds like it will be the same story but with some changes here and there. Hyper Misao said she made some decisions with the first performance when she wasn’t under the right frame of mind so we’re going to see if this is more like a director’s cut or if it goes in a completely different direction.

DDT “BATTLE OF HAMAMATSU” Results
August 2, 2025
DDT “BATTLE OF HAMAMATSU”, 02/08/2025
Shizuoka Act City Hamamatsu
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Hideki Okatani defeated Kazuma Sumi with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (7:04).
2. 3 Way Body Slam Match: Danshoku Dieno defeated Akito and Yuya Koroku when Dieno Body Slammed Koroku (7:32).
3. Special Tag Match: Yuki Iino & Antonio Honda defeated Hideki “Shrek” Sekine & Kazuki Hirata when Honda pinned Hirata after The Apex Elbow from Iino (10:53).
4. HARASHIMA, Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada defeated Daisuke Sasaki, Ilusion & MJ Paul when HARASHIMA pinned Paul with the Somato (12:01).
5. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ HIMIHIRO) defeated Jun Akiyama & Daichi Sato when KANON pinned Sato with the LONELY DEZIRES (12:15).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Shinya Aoki defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida when To-y pinned Ishida with the Kojima Impact (22:41).
Today’s main event might serve as a preview for “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025 – DAY 2” because Kazusada Higuchi and Yuki Ueno were both in it. However Ueno also had to worry about Shinya Aoki because for some reason Aoki broke up a pinfall when Ueno covered Yukio Naya. He later explained it was because he thought Naya was making funny faces at him during that moment. Back in the match Higuchi held Ueno in the Candian Backbreaker and then grabbed To-y in the Claw Hold. Yuki Ishida then tried to get the win at To-y’s expense but instead To-y pinned him with the Kojima Impact. Backstage Higuchi said he hadn’t considered today to be a prelim match with Ueno because he is focused on his KO-D Openweight Title defence with Jun Akiyama first. All Higuchi got from today’s match is he is feeling like he is in good shape.
Since Hideki Sekine is from Hamamatsu and was wrestling in front of friends he didn’t want to do anything embarrassing during his match. That includes dancing so he took the Hirata GO! glasses away from Kazuki Hirata. However when Antonio Honda pulled out Gongitsune, Sekine changed his mind and wore the glasses to fight back while dancing. While this was happening, Yuki Iino beat up Hirata and gave him The Apex Elbow. Honda was able to pin Hirata while Sekine was busy dancing by himself.
There were two tributes for the late Hulk Hogan on this show. Hisaya Imabayashi decided to turn the 3 Way Match into a Body Slam Challenge where the first wrestler to successfully do the move would win. Also at the start of the show Honda entered the ring in full Hogan cosplay and performed his rendition of Hulk Hogan Gymnastics.

“SHINJUKU FACE 20TH ANNIVERSARY ~MILESTONE~”, Results
July 31, 2025
“SHINJUKU FACE 20TH ANNIVERSARY ~MILESTONE~”, 31/07/2025
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion defeated Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Makoto Oishi when Sasaki submitted Hirata with the Crossface Lock (0:07).
1a. Rematch: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion defeated Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Makoto Oishi when Ilusion pinned Oishi with the Swanton Bomb (7:01).
2. Minoru Suzuki & Chinsuke Nakamura defeated Jun Akiyama & Fat Kobashi when Suzuki submitted Kobashi with an Achilles Tendon Hold (13:15).
3. Mayumi Ozaki, HARASHIMA & Yukio Naya defeated Shin Sakura Hirota, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada (w/ Sanshiro Takagi) when Ozaki pinned Hirota with the Ozaki Kick (16:30).
4. MAO defeated Kuroshio TOKYO Japan with a Japanese Leg Roll Clutch (18:26).
5. Hiromu Takahashi & Chris Brookes Vs Yuki Ueno & Atsuki Aoyagi ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).
To celebrate 20 years of Shinjuku FACE a special show was put together featuring wrestlers from six different promotions. Really it was a DDT show with guests from New Japan, All Japan, OZ Academy, Up Town and West Gate Wrestling Federation involved. Hiromu Takahashi teamed with Chris Brookes while Atsuki Aoyagi teamed with Yuki Ueno in the main event tag match that lasted the full 20 minutes. Ueno felt the match was short but as long as Shinjuku FACE continues to exist there will always be more to come. Brookes was more upset that the bar was now closed because the show is about to end. Aoyagi said he would have liked to have done a singles match but he’s too tired right now. Takahashi said he hasn’t wrestled in this venue a lot but he has a fond memory of a New Japan show he did here back in May 2011. He beat a young lion making his debut named Takaaki Watanabe. Takahashi doesn’t know what ever happened to him but believes he would have become a superstar had he stuck around…
MAO and Kuroshio TOKYO Japan ended up chasing each other around the room with the Dramatic Dream bike involved. When they went back to the ring Kuroshio demanded a strike exchange to determine who is more popular. It turned into a series of roll ups that eventually ended with MAO scoring the three count.
The first pro wrestling match to be held in Shinjuku FACE 20 years ago featured Mayumi Ozaki so it was fitting she would get to take part in today’s show. That wasn’t the only special thing about Match #3. Sanshiro Takagi announced a surprise for everyone and called out Konosuke Takeshita! Then Shin Sakura Hirota wearing her complete Takeshita costume. After Ozaki won the match she told the fans she looks forward to their continued support for OZ Academy, herself and also DDT.
Minoru Suzuki got stuck with the parody wrestlers from West Gate Wrestling Federation. He enjoyed beating them up though.
In the opening match Kazuki Hirata made the mistake of launching an attack on DAMNATION T.A by himself. They easily took care of him and Daisuke Sasaki tapped him out before Hirata’s partners could even do anything. Staff forced the match to restart and this time DAMNATION T.A won in a more regular manner.
At the end of the show all of the wrestlers gathered in the ring alongside some of the venue’s staff. Everyone was introduced to Yuka Ogawa who was responsible for organizing today’s event. She said she is truly happy to have travelled this path of pro wrestling for 20 years. This show was a source of pride for her and her staff. She promised fans that they will continue to do their best to fill Shinjuku FACE with the same joy and excitement that everyone felt today.

5. Hiromu Takahashi & Chris Brookes Vs Yuki Ueno & Atsuki Aoyagi
There is an interesting piece of trivia about Shinjuku FACE that a Tokyo Sports article had yesterday. Mayumi Ozaki took part in the first pro wrestling match held in the venue 20 years ago! Shinjuku FACE’s first event after it opened was a women’s MMA show but it included a joshi wrestling match as bonus main event featuring Ozaki & Dynamite Kansai against Aja Kong & Manami Toyota. The only other person working on this show who was there from the start is Yuka Ogawa, the staff member who is interviewed in the above Tokyo Sports article.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 23/08/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Special Single Match: Maki Itoh Vs X
2. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: X Vs X
So this is a weird one. Maki Itoh had plans to tour America again during the Tokyo Princess Cup but that schedule has now been cancelled and she is staying in Japan. As far as I know the only announced dates for Itoh’s tour up to this point were the two GCW Homecoming shows taking place during the same weekend as the Tokyo Princess Cup final. Since the tournament has already began, Tokyo Joshi Pro decided not to add her into it. Given the timing it was probably too late to book her as Moka Miyamoto’s replacement in Miyu Yamashita’s 1st Round match. Instead Itoh will have a match against one of the eliminated wrestlers on the same day as the final. Her opponent will not be revealed until after the semi finals on 17th August have been completed.
TJPW announced yesterday that Moka Miyamoto will continue to miss shows for the time being while she is getting treated for her illness. They have not gotten into any further detail about what has happened to her other than they will let everyone know when she will return.

After DAMNATION T.A attacked The Apex and challenged them for the KO-D Tag Team Titles, they quickly had the reverse happen to them. Yuki Iino found them backstage and demanded a shot at the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. It was refused at first because Iino & Yukio Naya were without a third man but they quickly got Kazuma Sumi to join them and convince him he’s a heavyweight like they are.

10. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs Jun Akiyama
The full cards for both days of “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025” have been revealed. As already mentioned, Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani want to take the KO-D Tag Titles from The Apex. They believe the current champs are undeserving of the belts. DAMNATION T.A are also bringing back Haruto Sakuraba for his next DDT appearance. Kumadori is also back from injury but his match has nothing to do with Ilusion so I guess we’re just moving on from that little feud for the time being.
The other big match of note in my mind is Hinata Kasai’s debut match. HARASHIMA has been chosen to be his first opponent. The kid is going to eat a Somato sooner or later so may as well get him use to it from the beginning.
DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025 – DAY 2”, 31/08/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Loser Of 30/08 KO-D Title Match, Super Sasadango Machine & Akito Vs KANON, Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda (w/ KIMIHIRO)

6. DDT Universal Title: Minoru Suzuki (c) Vs MAO
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) or Jun Akiyama Vs Yuki Ueno
The next day is kind of hampered by being unable to react to many consequences that might come from the first show. The loser of the KO-D Openweight Title match will be pushed back to the opener. Matches #3 and #4 have the possibility of turning into a KO-D Tag Title match depending on who wins on the previous day. D GENERATIONS are also being given the spotlight for a big 8-Man Tag.
