January 28, 2025

GANBARE☆JOSHI/KITSUNE “GANJO X KITSUNE”, 28/01/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
104 Fans

1. Kitsune World Title: Yuna Manase defeated MICHIKO (c) with the Lariat (8:01).
*MICHIKO fails in V1. Yuna Manase becomes the 4th Kitsube World Champion!
2. Mixed Tag Match: Yumehito Imanari & Chanyota defeated Keisuke Ishii & Echika Miyabi when Chanyota submitted Miyabi with the Nagata Lock I (11:26).
3. Moeka Haruhi defeated Arisa Shinose with the Diving Foot Stomp (9:25).
4. Tae Honma, AKARI & Yappy defeated Mochi Natsumi, Yuki Mashiro & Grizzly Fujitaki when Honda pinned Fujitaki with a School Boy (11:58).
5. YuuRI & Ayame Sasamura Vs Kohaku & Nanami ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).

This year sees the return of Ganbare☆Joshi running their own shows again, this one here was being done as part of a working relationship with the American “joshi” promotion Kitsune Women’s Wrestling. A championship match for the guest promotion’s title took place but it was placed in the opening match rather than the main event. Yuna Manase decided a while ago that GanJo should be built around YuuRI and the next generation instead of herself so YuuRI’s match went on last. YuuRI teamed with Ayame Sasamura and fought with Kohaku & Nanami to a 20 minute draw. While she was frustrated that she couldn’t win, she is still thankful for everyone’s support to let GanJo run shows again. She said GanJo is burning red just like the nosebleed she suffered during the match. Manase then got the last word in by telling everyone the future of GanJo is bright.

Yumehito Imanari & Chanyota both took separate pages from Yuji Nagata to win their match. Chanyota made Echika Miyabi tap out to the Nagata Lock I and while she was doing that, Imanari held Keisuke Ishii in the Nagata Lock II. Both Imanari & Chanyota did the Nagata salute pose afterwards to celebrate.

In a rematch from the end of December, Manase defeated MICHIKO to win back the Kitsune World Title. MICHIKO gave her the Tombstone Piledriver on the floor, trying to get a countout win. But Manase made it back in at 11 and then kicked out of a pin. Manase blocked another Tombstone and used Lariats to weaken MICHIKO until the champion could no longer kick out. She said she had the desire to win the belt back but this is not the end of her rivalry with MICHIKO because they now have one win each. But she also wants to defend the title against anyone else who was on today’s show. MICHIKO said she would like to have another match with Manase, with or without the title.

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO FAMILY STADIUM ’23” Results

November 2, 2023

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO FAMILY STADIUM ’23”, 01/11/2023
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
137 Fans

1. Legendary Cabaret Club Lady Vs Queen Of 666: Ram Kaichow defeated Riara with the Onryo Clutch (7:37).
2. Marika Kobashi defeated Banny Oikawa with the Front Neck Lock (10:04).
3. Ami Manase & Alex Lee defeated Sumire Natsu & Echika Miyabi when Manase pinned Miyabi with a Diving Senton (12:36).
4. Saki Akai GanJo Last Match: Saki Akai & Takumi Iroha defeated YuuRI & Yoshiko Hasegawa when Akai submitted YuuRI with the Triangle Choke (23:00).

With only two weeks to go until Saki Akai’s retirement, this week she begun a busy schedule of final appearances across wrestling. Today she was in the main event of Ganbare☆Joshi along with Takumi Iroha taking on the home team of YuuRI & Yoshiko Hasegawa. The GanJo side attacked Akai from the get go and brought her up to the entrance to make sure all the attention was on them. They even got Riara and Yuna Manase to get involved with their own attacks while Akai was held back. Iroha tagged in to let Akai catch her breath. YuuRI & Hasegawa did their best as a team together but were soon overtaken by their opponents. Akai & Iroha hit YuuRI with a Sandwich PK. Akai then made YuuRI submit to the Triangle Choke while Iroha held Hasegawa in a Rear Naked Choke.

After the match Akai told the fans she got a last minute call from GanJo to do this match and she was honored to fight against everyone here today, including Riara. She described GanJo as being very sparkly and flashy on the outside but muddy on the inside. That is her favorite kind of pro wrestling. Hasegawa said the difference between the teams was too much but she hopes she & YuuRI can close this gap and become wrestlers that Iroha would want to fight again. YuuRI then gave Akai a rose as a gift to represent her beautiful passion. She told Akai to continue shining as a beautiful rose after her wrestling career ends.

Until today Yuna Manase’s “sister” Ami Manase hadn’t been seen around these parts since August. She returned to GanJo today to team with Alex Lee. The team were victorious against Sumire Natsu & Echika Miyabi. Natsu used her whips for an advantage while Miyabi focused on power moves. Lee took both of them out at the same time with a Double Flying Clotheslines. Manase then took over and pinned Miyabi with a Diving Senton.

Later this month Banny Oikawa finally achieves her goal of getting booked on a main Ganbare☆Pro show but before that she had to face Marika Kobashi here. She focused on using kicking moves but Kobashi got the better of her by using the Front Neck Lock for the win.

Riara already tasted defeat earlier in the show when she lost to Ram Kaichow. She got a nearfall with a Facecrusher but Kaichow pulled out the Onryo Clutch to get the win in the end.

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO MINEL VATON SAGA ’23” Results

September 17, 2023

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO MINEL VATON SAGA ’23”, 17/09/2023
Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall
151 Fans

1. Alex Lee defeated Echika Miyabi with the Vinco Plex (8:26).
2. Miyako Matsumoto & Kaho Kobayashi defeated Sumire Natsu & Riara when Kobayashi pinned Riara with the Fisherman Suplex (15:01).
3. Ice Ribbon Offer Match: Ibuki Hoshi defeated Arisa Shinose with a Diving Body Press (7:48).
4. Tomoka Inaba & Azusa Inaba defeated Miyuki Takase & Yoshiko Hasegawa when Tomoka pinned Hasegawa with the Inaba Otoshi (17:00).
5. Special Single Match: Haruka Umesaki defeated YuuRI with the German Suplex (15:54).

On the hunt to win a championship again, YuuRI set her sights on Haruka Umesaki who currently holds the WWWD Single Title in her home promotion called Diana. A non-title match was put together here in Ganbare☆Joshi, giving YuuRI the home field advantage. However Umesaki won the match clean and decisively. She said she always wanted to wrestle YuuRI and was glad it happened. YuuRI told her she isn’t giving up her quest to win the WWWD Title from her and some day she will surpass her! According to Umesaki, she will go consult with Diana to put together a title match if everybody wants it to happen.

A reunion for Miyuki Takase & Yoshiko Hasegawa brought the two together for a tag match against the Inaba Sisters from JTO. The visitors won the match, leaving Hasegawa feeling dejected. She wasn’t able to win even when she had Takase’s help. Takase encouraged her to keep working hard and together they will get Hasegawa her first direct win. Both Tomoka Inaba & Azusa Inaba believe they were able to show momentum for their first appearance as a team in GanJo.

The last time the ICEx∞ Title was in GanJo it was YuuRI’s championship. It now belongs to Ibuki Hoshi and she brought it with her for the Ice Ribbon offer match against Arisa Shinose.

The Hostess Tag Team has now reached a crossroads. They lost to Miyako Matsumoto & Kaho Kobayashi in a match where everybody was accusing each other of getting plastic surgery. Sumire Natsu & Riara have teamed up three times now and haven’t won once. Natsu thinks Riara needs to change her focus to what’s in front of her instead of worrying about getting their tag team over with the fans. She’s going to help her any way that she can so they will some day drink celebretory champagne together for winning a match.

Echika Miyabi’s match with Alex Lee was put together to celebrate Miyabi’s one year anniversary of her debut match. Miyabi’s first pro wrestling bout took place on 14th September last year.

The GanJo GM Yuna Manase gave everyone an update on her injury recovery. She’s at the point now where she can walk around in heels again.

Australian wrestler Mitch Ryder is coming over to GanPro to team with his fellow countryman Hartley Jackson.

Moeka Haruhi’s surgery to donate one of her kidneys has been scheduled for late June so she is able to continue wrestling for a few more weeks. That means she gets to show up at GanPro again after already saying goodbye and have a few extra matches there.

The second show of GanPro’s May tripleshot is all being put together by Yumehito Imanari. The main event celebrates his 10th anniversary with the promotion. He also decided to do a tag team match between the old generation and the new generation. The joshi match will have both Haruhi and YuuRI wrestling in “arena” branded swimsuits. The opening match will be a Rumble where everyone will enter to Imanari’s theme song “POISON ~In This World Where I Can’t Say What I Want To Say~” by Takashi Sorimachi. Every participant will also have to represent Imanari in some way so I think there is going to be several impersonations of his different gimmicks during the match.

It’s only a little bit relevant here but JUST TAP OUT is going to changed their name in July to celebrate their 4th anniversary, shortening it down to their initials JTO. They’re keeping the logo the same though.

Riara is getting some more valuable in-ring experience, this time getting a match against Ancham.

The women of Ganbare☆Joshi do not want to deal with Miyako Matsumoto and her new partner in crime Alex Lee so a team from P.P.P. Tokyo will face them instead. PPP are fresh off of their first time in Korakuen Hall so Marika Kobashi & Echika Miyabi must both be feeling extra motivated to represent their company.

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO RESTART ’23” Results

April 1, 2023

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO RESTART ’23”, 01/04/2023
Yokohama Radiant Hall
154 Fans

0. Exhibition Match: Riara Vs Moeka Haruhi ended in a Time Limit Draw (5:00).
1. Gatoh Move Offer Match: Sayaka Obihiro defeated Chie Koishikawa with the Verse (10:10).
2. Special Tag Match: Ami Manase & Moeka Haruhi defeated Marika Kobashi & Echika Miyabi when Manase pinned Miyabi with the Diving Senton (17:27).
3. Special Single Match: YuuRI defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa with the Swanton Bomb (11:42).

The restart of Ganbare☆Joshi took place today with YuuRI and Yoshiko Hasegawa both stepping up to give the brand a new lease of life. YuuRI’s slight edge in experience was the deciding factor and she defeated Hasegawa in the main event. YuuRI admitted after the match that she injured her ankle during training yesterday and took painkillers in order to go through the match today. The win gives her a big confident boost which she will need when she goes over to JUST TAP OUT on 9th April. On that day YuuRI is facing Tomoka Inaba with the Queen Of JTO Title on the line. Inaba then made a surprise appearance!

Inaba said she was here to see how YuuRI was doing since leaving JTO a year and a half ago. She is impressed to see how much YuuRI has grown but Inaba has grown a lot too. She is warning her challenger that the match will be under JTO rules and YuuRI will get hurt if she goes into it half-heartedly. YuuRI was left angry by those words. She promised to take the title away from Inaba and bring it over to GanJo!

The GanJo debut of Yuna Manase’s masked sister Ami Manase went off very well for her. Wearing her sister’s ring gear, Ami teamed with Moeka Haruhi to beat the P.P.P. Tokyo team of Marika Kobashi & Echika Miyabi. Ami herself got the pin and was excited to find out her sister was in the room to see it happen. Haruhi wants to send a message to Manase’s mother and that message is “Thank you for giving birth to Ami Manase!” Haruhi also said the spirits of Yuna Manase and HARUKAZE are both contained inside Ami. She wants to be by Ami’s side so they can conquer the world with GanJo together! Backstage, Ami told the reporters you won’t see her around much outside of GanJo because she is still in high school.

Sayaka Obihiro took a timeout from chopping Chie Koishikawa so she could congratulate GanJo on their restart.

The trainee from the cabaret world Riara went through an exhibition match with Haruhi before the show began. The match had a 5 minute time limit but Haruhi made Riara tap out with a minute left. However the purpose of this exhibition was to give Riara ring time so the two agreed to ignore the result and continue wrestling for the time left remaining. Riara tried fighting back with Elbow Strikes and a Dropkick but was put into another Crab Hold until the time ran out. Michiyoshi Mishima told Riara he will have a discussion with Ken Ohka to determine if she passed or failed the test. If she ends up passing then her pro debut will be happening sooner rather than later.

Yuna Manase attended the show but needed a crutch and a knee brace to move around with her injury. She announced that she was appointed the GM of GanJo. In this place GM stands for Ganbare Manager! Her role is to do her best to guide the joshi here just like her mentor Fuka did for her.

GANBARE☆PRO “TOKIMEKI NISHISU 2022” Results

December 3, 2022

GANBARE☆PRO “TOKIMEKI NISHISU 2022”, 03/12/2022
Yokohama Radiant Hall
113 Fans

1. GanPro Specialty Mixed Tag Match: Shinichiro Tominaga & HARUKAZE defeated Yuki Kanzaki & Yoshiko Hasegawa when HARUKAZE pinned Hasegawa with the Flame Spear (11:35).
2. GanJo Special Single Match: Moeka Haruhi defeated YuuRI with the West High East Low Winter Gorkuraku Gatame (9:08).
3. GanPro Vs P.P.P.: Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase defeated Kentaro Hachisu & Echika Miyabi when Manase submitted Miyabi with a Half Crab Hold (12:25).
4. GanPro Special 6-Man Tag Match In YOKOHAMA: Ken Ohka, Shuichiro Katsumura & Tsuyoshi Okada defeated Keisuke Ishii, Soma Takao & Tyson Maeguchi when Katsumura submitted Ishii with the Triple Three 3 Lock (14:38).
5. Tokimeki Nishisu 2022 Special Tag Match: Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase defeated Hartley Jackson & Seiya Morohashi when Watase pinned Morohashi with the Elbow Butt (15:58).

The last prelim match before Ganbare☆Pro heads to Korakuen Hall at the end of December had Mizuki Watase score a big victory over Hartley Jackson’s team. The show began with a contract signing between the two and Watase spoke about wrestling in 15 different promotions this year. He’s been told he has no Ganbare☆Spirit but in reality he is burning with it. Jackson told Watase that Ganpro is his home too and no matter what Watase can do, he will not win the Spirit Of Ganbare Title from Jackson. In the main event Watase had Shigehiro Irie by his side and nailed Seiya Morohashi with an Elbow Butt to score the victory. Watase told Jackson that this is Ganbare☆Spirit. It does not matter if it looks uncool or unrefined, the more you win with it the more the spirit will burn! Jackson warned that when the title match takes place on 27th December he won’t be treating Watase like a little kid anymore.

The team from P.P.P. Tokyo provided a new challenge for Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase to take on together. Echika Miyabi was on the previous show losing to Manase. Kentaro Hachisu was making his Ganpro debut and has been getting attention lately for the “Chest Hair Niki” gimmick he uses to promote his wrestling matches and MMA fights. Manase won the match for the home team by tapping out Miyabi, but the Ganpro team paid respect to the P.P.P. wrestlers after the match.

Munetatsu Nakamura will have his debut match on 27th December against Shinichiro Tominaga. Nakamura told the fans he wants to have an exciting match that will leave a mark on everybody. Tominaga’s advice to him is to understand that pro wrestling is all about experience. He then gave a personal example involving a sexual act he was once involved in that almost left him blinded but I don’t want to write about those details at all.

An inter-promotional match mixing together Ganpro and Tokyo Joshi Pro is happening on the 27th. Yoshiko Hasegawa is going to team with Suzume, who she recently fought in a TJPW ring. The two of them think they can get along, grow and become stronger together. Their opponents don’t seem to be on the same page. YuuRI is excited to team with Yuki Kamifuku but the feelings don’t seem to be mutual. She always tweets compliments to her but never gets a response. Kamifuku is happy to wrestle in Ganpro again but thinks Ken Ohka has bad taste if he is making her team up with “a cabaret girl who makes about 1,200 yen an hour.”

A video message from Shota was sent in revealing his American excursion will soon be coming to an end. His return to Ganpro will be on 27th December.

GANBARE☆PRO “TOKIMEKI NISHISU 2022”, 03/12/2022
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. GanPro Vs P.P.P: Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase Vs Kentaro Hachisu & Echika Miyabi
2. Tokimeki Nishisu 2022 Special Tag Match: Hartley Jackson & Seiya Morohashi Vs Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase

This is one last chance for Watase to prove he will be some kind of threat against Hartley Jackson. The Spirit Of Ganbare Champion suddenly turned sour on the idea he could be welcomed into the Ganpro family because of Watase’s recent weak efforts against him. So this time Watase is calling in his buddy Shigehiro Irie to provide back up against the champ and Seiya Morohashi. The power of RENEGADES may be just what Watase needs.

Yuna Manase and Echika Miyabi are in another match together after the two enjoyed their first rendezvous. This time the match is attracting other members of Ganpro and P.P.P Tokyo because Yumehito Imanari and Kentaro Hachisu are getting involved too.

DDT “D-OU GRAND PRIX 2022 THE FINAL”, 04/12/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title: Joey Janela (c) Vs Jun Akiyama

Why does Eddie Kingston get to have all the fun? Joey Janela wants to fight Jun Akiyama too and is willing to put the DDT Extreme Title on the line for it to happen.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Selfishly For The 2nd Time In 20 Years, A Single Match That Danshoku Dieno Just Wants To See: Yuki “Sexy” Iino Vs Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari
2. Selfishly For The 1st Time In 20 Years, Danshoku Dieno’s Self-Satisfaction Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Muscle Sakai

A book launch to celebrate 20 years in the business is a good enough reason to give Danshoku Dieno some match making powers for the event. He is happily being selfish with the power by booking himself against his old friend Muscle Sakai. He also wants to see what Yuki Iino versus Yumehito Imanari would be like.

GANBARE☆PRO “GIRI GIRI CHOP! 2022”, 27/12/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Munetatsu Nakamura Debut Match: Munetatsu Nakamura Vs X
2. Kouki Iwasaki Ganbare☆Pro Wrestling Last Match: Keisuke Ishii Vs Kouki Iwasaki
3. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Hartley Jackson (c) Vs Mizuki Watase

The new rookie Munetatsu Nakamura is a 21 year old college student from Chiba. He is 168cm tall, weighs 65kg and his athletic experience is with wrestling and Judo. Nakamura originally trained for the DDTeeeen!! project but never wrestled a match (unless he was Ilusion all along but I have no evidence to back that up). Instead he switched his training over to Ganpro earlier this year and will make his pro debut with them.

DDT “NEVER MIND 2022”, 29/12/2022
Tokyo Dome City Hall

1. Pheromones Vs “Miyako & Ward” Pheromones Subjugation Allied Forces: Yuki “Sexy” Iino, Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari & Koju “Shining Ball” Takeda Vs Akito, Osamu Nishimura, Shinichiro Kawamatsu & Shunma Katsumata
2. Special Tag Match: Saki Akai & Yuki Arai Vs Saori Anou & Riko Kawahata
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs X

The KO-D Title shot at the end of the year is not the automatic prize for the D-Ou winner but it’s clear Ueno or Naya is going to get it.

Akito needs some powerful and influential people to help him keep Pheromones under control or else DDT is at risk of being banned from Korakuen Hall and probably all the other venues within Tokyo Dome City. Who could be more powerful and influential than politcians? Osamu Nishimura & Shinichiro Kawamatsu are here to help. Shunma Katsumata is also getting dragged into the fight.

It’s already been announced but here’s a reminder that Konosuke Takeshita and Cara Noir will be on the show. Takeshita is still part of the DDT roster along with his new affiliation with AEW.

GANBARE☆PRO “GUNHED 2022” Results

November 19, 2022

GANBARE☆PRO “GUNHED 2022”, 19/11/2022
Chiba 2AW Square
84 Fans

1. GanJo Three Big Singles Match: Moeka Haruhi defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa with the 79.5MHz (8:59).
2. GanJo Three Big Singles Match: YuuRI defeared HARUKAZE with a Locomotion School Boy (8:53).
3. Soma Takao & Tyson Maeguchi defeated Shuichiro Katsumura & Shinichiro Tominaga when Takao pinned Tominaga with a Cradle (11:10).
4. GanJo Three Big Singles Match: Yuna Manase defeated Echika Miyabi with the Lariat (7:47).
5. Original GanPro Tag Vs Last Teacher-Student Tag: Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki defeated Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari when Ishii pinned Imanari with the Double Arm Driver TURBO (18:34).
6. Gunhed 2022 Special Tag Match: Hartley Jackson & Seiya Morohashi defeated Tatsuhito Takaiwa & Mizuki Watase when Jackson pinned Watase with the Jumping Piledriver (16:41).

It could not be any more obvious how much of an underdog Mizuki Watase is going against Hartley Jackson. The size and power difference is bad enough but Watase also had to fight against Seiya Morohashi and his cheating ways. Tatsuhito Takaiwa did what he could to even the odds but when it came down to Watase versus Jackson, Jackson won. After the match Jackson asked Watase if he still wants to fight him for the Spirit Of Ganbare Title? Jackson has beaten him in two tag matches now and can do it a third time. Instead Jackson wants to defend the belt against the boss of Ganbare☆Pro if there is one. He thought he wanted to be part of the Ganpro family but fuck that! He now realises he is better off being on his own. Watase blamed himself for losing not because of skill or size but because he isn’t carrying the Ganpro spirit.

Yuna Manase feels the need to take the lead of the Ganbare☆Joshi division in order to make it more active. She described Echika Miyabi as being talented and wants to make more new friends like Miyabi to liven up Ganpro even more. Miyabi said she wants to compete here and get stronger so is hoping to get invited back.

A can of Chuhai was placed in the middle of the ring for Match #3 for everyone to fight over. Late in the match Shinichiro Tominaga stepped on the can and slipped, causing Soma Takao to roll him up for the pinfall.

YuuRI scored her first victory in Ganpro today due to HARUKAZE being over eager. HARUKAZE targeted YuuRI’s arm and was determined to beat her with a Cross Armbreaker. YuuRI found a way to counter the move by rolling HARUKAZE over locomotion style until she finally got to pin her shoulders to the mat for a three count. YuuRI said the win comes close to her entering the third year of her wrestling career. It was frustrating to lose so much but that time in her life helped her gain self-confidence. Winning for the first time today is not YuuRI’s end goal so it is still only the beginning of her journey.

A new trainee will be making his debut for Ganpro soon. Munetatsu Nakamura is a 21 year old college student from Chiba with a background in both Wrestling and Judo. He is 168cm tall and weighs 65kg. In 2021 he was part of the DDT Teenage Project (now called DDTeeeen!!) and has spent the last year and a half training. This year he began training with Ganpro and will make his pro debut under their banner on 27th December.
