It has been just under one year since BASARA last held a show at Korakuen Hall. Now under new management, today’s show is the next chapter for the company. Even though they did not announce an attendance number, the word going around from them and wrestling reporters is this was the biggest crowd they have ever had! The new president Ryota Nakatsu credited everyone involved with the show from those signed with the company to those who wrestle freelance for all of the hard work they did to promote it. The next goal Nakatsu has in mind is to sell enough tickets to open up the north side of Korakuen and then fill that up too. He also promised to openly talk about the positives and negatives happening in BASARA because there is no point in a company like this trying to look cool.

In the main event Nakatsu defeated the new sales manager Takumi Tsukamoto in his first defence of the Union MAX Title. Nakatsu said it felt amazing for both of them to be BASARA’s main focus today. Tsukamoto agreed and is a litle worried he may have lost his mind during the match because it felt so good. Nakatsu then promoted the next show on 20th August until he was interrupted by Daichi Kazato and Ayato Yoshida. Kazato climbed the turnbuckle and held onto a large rubber strap. Yoshida then pulled the strap back and snapped it back into Kazato’s face. Nakatsu was confused until Kazato explained that is his way of challenging him for the MAX Title.

Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA named themselves Hyakusho Ikki because they wanted to defend the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles a hundred times. They couldn’t even make it to three. Instead Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda are the new champions after Honda made FUMA submit to the Jumping Armbar. FUMA later told Sekine that they were sent back down to rock bottom but that just means it’s time to start preparing for the next harvest. The challengers brought along Naka Shuma and Kyu Mogami to be their cornermen because all four of them are part of a unit in 2AW called MJ2. But when Mashimo & Honda won the titles Honda (through Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi) told Shuma & Mogami that they weren’t needed anymore! Backstage Shuma & Mogami said it’s boring to just be cornermen so they decided maybe they will come liven up BASARA too!

The first appearance of El Desperado in BASARA had a little extra backstory to it involving one of his opponents. Masato Kamino took the New Japan entrance exam back in October 2012 where he gave up on the test halfway through. But he remembers the sight of Kyosuke Mikami watching him in the crowd that day. They were opponents today with Desperado teaming up with Isami Kodaka while Kamino was part of the Aijin Tag with Takato Nakano. Desperado ended up winning when he gave Nakano the Reverse Tiger Driver followed by the Pinche Loco. Desperado praised his opponents and would like for more fans to discover them. He thinks Aijin Tag would even win over NJPW fans if they were to ever wrestle over there. Kodaka said he would love to team with Desperado again because it would be a shame for them to stop after just one match. Nakano said it was a dream come true to fight a New Japan champion because his mother loves NJPW. His next dream is to beat El Desperado! Kamino called this match a milestone in his life and he will be starting again from here. Aijin Tag are now thinking about entering a Jr. Tag tournament to make a new impact.

BASARA “BASARA 284 ~UTAGE~” Results

??? Fans – Unannounced

4. Isami Kodaka defeated Takato Nakano with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (12:44).
5. Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls Match: Ryuichi Sekine, FUMA & Ryota Nakatsu (2) defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda (1) (26:43).
5a. Takumi Tsukamoto pinned Nakatsu with an Ouchi-gari (15:53).
5b. Ryuichi Sekine submitted Ayumu Honda with the Let’s Combine (21:57).
5c. Ryota Nakatsu pinned Takumi Tsukamoto with a Back Roll Clutch Hold (26:43).

The Korakuen Hall preview was a Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls Match featuring the participants of both the Union MAX Title and Iron Fist Tag Team Title bouts. Ryuichi Sekine attacked Kengo Mashimo from the get go with FUMA and Ayumu Honda joining in the brawl. Meanwhile Takumi Tsukamoto did his best to block Ryota Nakatsu’s big moves and used an Ouchi-gari throw from Judo to pin him. In the second fall Honda was cut off by FUMA from giving Sekine an Arm Lock. That allowed Sekine to put him in the Let’s Combine to win this round by submission. In the final fall Tsukamoto aimed to beat Nakatsu again but Nakatsu caught him in a Back Roll Clutch instead to get the victory. The two got along after the match and agreed that they cannot wait until 3rd August. Honda also spoke out loud for the first time on a BASARA show but simply said he and Mashimo will take the Iron Fist Tag Titles from Hyakusho Ikki. Nakatsu called for all of the wrestlers to get into the ring for the end of the show and said it would be a big loss for the planet if fun things like BASARA disappeared. So they’re going to make the Korakuen Hall show a great one!

Isami Kodaka said it’s been a while since his last singles match with Takato Nakano but he could see how much he has grown since then. Kodaka is confident that if Nakano was at his mercy today then he isn’t worried that Aijin Tag can beat him and El Desperado at Korakuen. Nakano said whether his team wins or loses, the biggest thing in pro wrestling is presence. Masato Kamino pointed out that he and Nakano will always be together while Kodaka & Desperado do not have that kind of loyalty to each other. He is confident their strength together will win out at the end.

BASARA “BASARA 285 ~CONTINUATION IS POWER~”, 03/08/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. GRACE PROJECT Sponsored Match: Toru Sugiura, Captain Grace, Shigehiro Irie & Daiki Shimomura Vs Tomoya Hirata, Mizuki Watase, Ultra Soki & HIROYA
2. Special Tag Match: Isami Kodaka & El Desperado Vs Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino
3. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA (c) Vs Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda
4. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Takumi Tsukamoto

You know I should have seen this coming. BASARA gets new management with Ryota Nakatsu and Takumi Tsukamoto becoming the two most powerful figures in charge. So when Nakatsu went looking for someone to challenge him for the Union MAX Title, Tsukamoto was standing right there until Nakatsu chose him as his next challenger.

The Iron Fist Tag Team Champions have made new enemies. Hyakusho Ikki thought Ayumu Honda wanted to join them but what he really wants is to take the tag titles from them! Honda already had it planned out because he had a tag partner chosen and everything. Kengo Mashimo is back in BASARA and wasted no time in starting a fight with Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA.

BASARA “BASARA 283 ~UTAGE~” Results

July 8, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 283 ~UTAGE~”, 08/07/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Daiki Shimomura defeated Takeru Inoue with the Swanton Bomb (8:59).
2. Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Gouma Ryu when Oosugi pinned Ryu after a Double Brainbuster (7:52).
3. SAGAT & Minoru Fujita defeated Daichi Kazato & Munetatsu Nakamura when SAGAT pinned Kazato with the Gore Grind (10:56).
4. Masato Kamino, Lil’ Kraken & Fuminori Abe defeated Ryuichi Sekine, FUMA & Ayumu Honda when Kraken pinned Sekine with the Period. (13:41).
5. Isami Kodaka & Ryota Nakatsu defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & Takato Nakano when Nakatsu pinned Nakano with the V Slider (14:13).

During the main event Takumi Tsukamoto taunted Ryota Nakatsu in a bid to provoke the Union MAX Champion. But his attempt to hive him the Zudon was stopped by Isami Kodaka and Nakatsu went on to beat Takato Nakano with the V Slider. After the match Nakatsu told Takeru Inoue to hand him over an envelope because inside it was the name of his next MAX Title challenger. He then crumpled up the envelope and decided Tsukamoto will face him for the title at Korakuen Hall on 3rd August! The two of them are now the highest ranked management in BASARA so Nakatsu thinks the promotion’s biggest match of the year should be between those two. Tsukamoto said he will do his best to win the title and write BASARA’s next page.

It turns out Ayumu Honda really didn’t want to join forces with Hyakusho Ikki. He betrayed Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA and helped Lil’ Kraken with the match for the other team. Honda whispered into Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi’s ear after the match and had him interpret his message. Hiroshi told Hyakusho Ikki that Honda would never join a lame team like them. He only went near them because he wants the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles. He already has a partner ready and he’s at the show today. Suddenly out walked Kengo Mashimo and he started fighting Hyakusho Ikki with Honda that made its way to the back! Later when things calmed down FUMA said Honda had made fun of farmers. Sekine warns that when you make fun of farmers you will see hell! They’re going to fight Honda & Mashimo fair and square with the Iron Fist Tag Titles on the line.

After Match #3 several wrestlers all got in the ring trying to figure out what match they should have on 3rd August. Daichi Kazato completely lost track of who he wanted to team with so Gouma Ryu suggested they do a 3 Way Trios Match. Ryu himself isn’t going to wrestle. Instead he wants to be in the corner of Speed Of Sounds & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi. Kazato decided he will team with Yasu Urano and a third person. Both Minoru Fujita & SAGAT agreed to team with each other and go find another partner. Later in the day Hiroshi, Ryu & SOS all decided to form a new unit called with-kai.

BASARA “BASARA 282 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~” Results

June 25, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 282 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~”, 25/06/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Masato Kamino defeated Shota Kofuji with the Lariat (11:12).
2. Isami Kodaka & Shiori Asahi Vs Yasu Urano & Hagane Shinno ended in a Draw when Asahi and Urano pinned each other (11:58).
3. Thanomsak Toba & Tyson “Ultimate” Maeguchi defeated Daiki Shimomura & Takato Nakano when Toba pinned Nakano with the Back Blow (11:16).
4. Ryota Nakatsu defeated Takeru Inoue with a Wrist Lock (12:32).
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA (c) defeated Lil’ Kraken & Akira Jo when FUMA submitted Kraken with an Armbar (14:39).
*V2 for Hyakusho Ikki.

The new bond between the Super Family is not as strong as the farmer’s bond that Hyakusho Ikki have. Lil’ Kraken missed a Frog Splash, giving FUMA the opening to submit him with an Armbar. He called Kraken & Akira Jo tough opponents after the match but he and Ryuichi Sekine are hard workers from the countryside. They spent the morning preparing for this Iron Fist Tag Team Titles by feeding chickens and cleaning out their coops before travelling to the venue. FUMA doesn’t understand why young people today think working hard is uncool but he and Sekine are going to cherish today’s successful title defence. They now have two wins with 98 to go until they reach their goal of 100 title defences.

Takeru Inoue lost to Ryota Nakatsu in his return match from injury. He shook Nakatsu’s hand afterwards and Nakatsu twisted Inoue’s healed arm as a joke. He said he only did it to show Inoue survived having his injured limb targeted. Inoue said the pain he felt in the match was something he hadn’t felt in a long time but he is happy to wrestle again. Nakatsu is still decided who the next Union MAX Title challenger should be. He said he got a few challenges from other promotions after he won the Chouten ~Itadaki~ but his time is now being taken up by his new role as BASARA’s president.

Match #2 ended in a draw when both teams all got tangled up with each other from a back and forth Double Brainbuster spot. Isami Kodaka, Shiori Asahi, Yasu Urano and Hagane Shinno all ended up rolling their shoulders onto the canvas and they were all pinned for the three count.

Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino opened up the show with an announcement for BASARA’s return to Korakuen Hall on 3rd August. Aijin Tag will team up to face Isami Kodaka & El Desperado! Kamino is aware that Desperado and Nakano already know each other but does Desperado know who he is? He sent out a warning that despite his muscular look, he is still a junior heavyweight so he is going to overwhelm the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion with his muscles!

BASARA “BASARA 280 ~TAKAGARI 28~” Results

June 7, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 280 ~TAKAGARI 28~”, 07/06/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takumi Tsukamoto & Banana Senga defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Fuminori Abe when Tsukamoto pinned Hiroshi with the Osotogari (7:16).
2. 3 Way Match: Tsutomu Oosugi defeated Daichi Kazato and Daiki Shimomura when Oosugi pinned Kazato with the Tsuki no Ishi (7:57).
3. Lil’ Kraken & Akira Jo defeated SAGAT & Isami Kodaka when Kraken pinned SAGAT with the Period. (12:42).
4. Ryota Nakatsu defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with the V Slider (15:56).
5. Ryuichi Sekine, FUMA & Ayumu Honda defeated Isami Kodaka, Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Sekine submitted Nakano with the Let’s Combine (17:44).

The winners of the main event Hyakusho Ikki made an offer to Ayumu Honda to join their team, thinking his addition will make them even better. Honda didn’t want to but was afraid to turn them down directly so he whispered his decision into Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi’s ear and asked him to tell them. Hiroshi lied to Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA, telling them that Honda loves the idea and wants to join the team! Suddenly Lil’ Kraken walked down to the ring leading a train of Akira Jo, SAGAT and Minoru Fujita lined up behind him. Kraken heard Hyakusho Ikki call themselves the best team but he has his own family, a Super Family if you will, which is even better. The four of them created a strong bond together in their tag match today (a lot of the match was the two teams both struggling to get along) and they would all like to challenge for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles as one unit. They were convinced to whittle their team down to just Kraken & Jo in order to get the title match. Jo then told Kraken they will need to coodernate by wearing the same colours on the day. He suggests red and wasn’t going to argue any further because he has to bring his daughter to see Lilo & Stitch once this show was over. FUMA agreed to have the title match on 25th June.

After beating Munetatsu Nakamura in a BASARA Vs Ganbare☆Pro battle, Ryota Nakatsu continues to be on the lookout for his next Union Pro Title challenger. Nakatsu taunted Nakamura throughout the match and even pulled back his hand when he offered his a handshake after the bout. He praised Nakamura for being an amazing young wrestler and said a guy like him would be a great choice to be his next challenger. So he wants Nakamura to help him find his actual next challenger.

During the show opening introductions an argument broke out between Hiroshi and Takato Nakano. Hiroshi claimed martial arts is the best while Nakano threw his support behind sports instead. The solution to this is to have the 15th June show be dedicated to pitting Team Martial Arts against Team Sports!

BASARA “BASARA 278 ~KOO~” Results

May 14, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 278 ~KOO~”, 14/05/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino, Lil’ Kraken & Yasu Urano defeated Ryuichi Sekine, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Ayumu Honda & Reiya Igarashi when Nakano pinned Igarashi with the Takagari (14:01).
2. SAGAT & Minoru Fujita (w/ Takeru Inoue) Vs Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (w/ Gouma Ryu) ended in a Double Countout (3:07).
2a. Rematch – 3 Way Tag Match: SAGAT & Minoru Fujita and Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Gouma Ryu & Takeru Inoue when SAGAT pinned Ryu and Oosugi pinned Inoue (1:35).
2b. Rematch: Takeru Inoue defeated Gouma Ryu by Pinfall (1:53).
3. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 2 Block B: Daiki Shimomura defeated Tomoki Hatano with the Shimomura-Style Hurricanrana (11:55).
4. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 2 Block A: Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Daichi Kazato when Tsukamoto pinned Kazato with the Spinning Zudon (11:55).
5. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 2 Block B: Ryota Nakatsu defeated FUMA with the V Slider (12:50).
6. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 2 Block A: Keisuke Ishii defeated Isami Kodaka with the High Angle Double Arm DDT (13:38).

Four wrestler remain in the Chouten ~Itadaki~ tournament. The outsider Keisuke Ishii dumped BASARA’s own Isami Kodaka out of the bracket in the main event. It was their first singles match against each other in 12 years. Kodaka told Ishii afterwards they shouldn’t have to wait that long again to have a rematch. Ishii will face Takumi Tsukamoto in the semi final in what will be their first singles match together in around 15 years. Tsukamoto couldn’t beat Daichi Kazato with the regular Zudon so he had to use a spinning variant to get the three count. Daiki Shimomura is on a tournament run that could end up becoming his redemption for the year long suspension he went through. He eliminated Tomoki Hatano and will now face Ryota Nakatsu who he has beaten before in the 2021 tournament. Nakatsu defeated FUMA to reach the semi finals and is currently feeling in top form. He thinks Shimomura hasn’t got any heart and the two almost got into a fight backstage during the post-show interviews.

BASARA “BASARA 277 ~UTAGE~” Results

April 30, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 277 ~UTAGE~”, 30/04/2025

6. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 1 Block B – 2 Count Fall Rules: Ryota Nakatsu Vs Minoru Fujita ended in a Draw after a Double Pinfall from an Inside Cradle (5:03).

7. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 1 Block A – 2 Count Fall Rules: Keisuke Ishii defeated Ryuichi Sekine with a Jackknife Power Bomb (6:43).
8. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 1 Block B – 2 Count Fall Rules: FUMA Vs Ayumu Honda ended in a Time Limit Draw (10:00).
8a. Overtime – 1 Count Fall Rules: FUMA defeated Ayumu Honda with an Arm Bar (1:21).

After taking a year off the Chouten ~Itadaki~ returned for 2025 with an opening round full of shortened matches to encourage wrestlers to go at a sprint pace. Every bout needed only a 2 Count Pinfall to win. There was also a 10 minute time limit with any draws going into sudden death overtime where just a 1 Count Pinfall won the match. FUMA and Tomoki Hatano both made it to Round 2 by reaching the time limit and winning in extra time. Ryota Nakatsu and Minoru Fujita ended up pinning each other from an Inside Cradle so even though it wasn’t a time limit draw, they still went into overtime rules. Fujita very quickly went for the Samson Clutch but Nakatsu blocked it and say on top for the 1 Count Pin. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi used a Judomaster doppelganger to distract Daiki Shimomura but his plan didn’t work in the end.

The 2nd Round matches on 14th May will be Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Daichi Kazato, Isami Kodaka Vs Keisuke Ishii, Daiki Shimomura Vs Tomoki Hatano and Ryota Nakatsu Vs FUMA. Nakatsu accused BASARA of coming up with a conspiracy to stop him from winning the tournament because he had to fight Minoru Fujita instead of KUBITO (who was too injured to compete). He would like to have a rematch with Fujita under normal rules though. Hatano admits he was saved by the rules today and he remembers fighting Shimomura before. Shimomura doesn’t though.

FUMA said he will treat his Round 2 match with Nakatsu as if it was for the Union MAX Title itself. Kodaka remembered when he was invading Ganbare☆Pro he thought he would cross paths with Ishii but never did. They did have a tag match against each other last year but that was long after Kodaka was an enemy of GanPro. Ishii has never beaten Kodaka in a singles match so he is only focused on that instead of any inter-promotional feud. Tsukamoto is confident he will beat Kazato without needing a gameplan because his previous wins against him were all done with feeling instead of strategy. Kazato normally thinks Tsukamoto is scary but for some reason he thinks he is looking cute lately so he isn’t worried about fighting him.
