TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN VICTORY IN TAKASAKI” Results

October 19, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN VICTORY IN TAKASAKI”, 19/10/2025
Gunma G-Messe Main Hall (Takasaki City)
258 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Toga defeated Ren Konatsu with a Face Lock (7:47).
2. Next Generation Tournament ’25 – Losers Bracket: Chika Nanase defeated Kira Summer with an Elbow Butt (7:18).
3. Miu Watanabe defeated Mifu Ashida with the Canadian Backbreaker (8:38).
4. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Yuki Aino & Raku when Nakajima pinned Raku with the Diving Senton (10:50).
5. Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Kaya Toribami defeated Yuki Arai, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami when Toribami pinned Takami with the Sento Choryu (12:53).
6. Arisu Endo & Alice Crowley defeated Mizuki & Haru Kazashiro when Endo pinned Kazashiro with the Ju no Okite (11:40).
7. Mahiro Kiryu & Suzume defeated Miyu Yamashita & Pom Harajuku when Kiryu pinned Harajuku with the Spinebuster (13:02).

Not only did Mahiro Kiryu make it back to Gunma with the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title still in her grasp but she got to win the main event in front of her hometown crowd too! It almost didn’t go that way though. Pom Harajuku tricked her into dropping her guard so she could get a roll up nearfall. Kiryu used her apology spot to say sorry for getting carried away because she is so excited to wresting in her hometown. Miyu Yamashita made things worse by kicked Kiryu around the ring but Suzume got in with a hot tag. The other team then turned out not to be on the same page because Harajuku blind tagged her way back into the match so she could try and win the Iron Man Title instead of Yamashita. However Kiryu got her second wind and put Harajuku down with the Spinebuster to win the match and remain a champion. Kiryu told the fans she definitely wants to wrestle in Gunma again and she hopes people from outside the area will discover what is so great about the place. She thinks she will still be the Iron Man Champion when Tokyo Joshi Pro returns here too.

Matches #5 and #6 had two wrestlers swap around because Arisu Endo & Alice Crowley wanted to team up with each other after yesterday’s International Princess Title bout. Crowley and Shino Suzuki swapped places to make the changes happen.

Yuki Aino & Raku brought a duvet into the ring for their match and even used it to trap Kyoraku Kyomei together back to back outside the ring. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao needed some assistance to get back to their feet but were able to roll back into the ring to avoid a countout.

She wasn’t considered one of the favorites to win the Next Generation Tournament but Chika Nanase is defying the odds to reach the final! She avenged her earlier tournament loss to Kira Summer by beating her today with an Elbow Smash. The result means Summer is now knocked out of the running and Nanase moves on to the final where she will need to beat Uta Takami twice in a row back to back in order to be crowned the tournament champion. Nanase considers Summer to be her best friend so she wants to continue fighting, teaming up and improving each other. Summer will support Nanase but admits it hurts her so much that she couldn’t reach the final instead.

The type of death match for tomorrow’s FREEDOMS Vs Ganbare☆Pro main event has been decided. Lighttubes are the recommended item on the menu but other weapons will be featured too.

GanPro has a secret weapon up their sleeve for the semi-main event. Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase will be accompanied by Nobita as their ringside attendant. Nobita is the nickname of Takahiro Nakayama, a GanPro staff member who was a pro wrestler for a very brief amount of time back in 2014. The FREEDOMS wrestlers had been bullying him around whenever they showed up at GanPro shows, unaware of his background. If Takashi Sasaki & Toru Sugiura are not careful he might decide to start fighting back!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN VICTORY IN RYOGOKU”, 26/10/2025
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Next Generation Tournament ’25 – Final: Uta Takami Vs Winner Of Losers Bracket

Takami is in the driver’s seat because she will need to be beaten twice due to the double elimination format. Summer and Nanase cannot afford to lose at all for the rest of the tournament.

BASARA “BASARA 291 ~KOO~”, 31/10/2025
Shinjuku FACE

2. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’25”, 09/11/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs J-Rod

The next wrestler from America has been chosen to go on tour with Tokyo Joshi Pro this November. J-Rod has around three years of experience since graduating from the NJPW Academy in America with Ohio Valley Wrestling being her current most regular promotion. The “Ultimate Athlete” will debut in TJPW on the 1st November show but the big match of her tour will be fighting either Miu Watanabe or Yuki Aino for the Princess Of Princess Title at November’s Korakuen show.

I don’t mind this trend of tag teams getting themselves in line for a future Princess Tag Team Titles shot while the champions still have other challengers to get through. HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki have teamed on and off together this year but both are feeling left behind by other wrestlers from their class. The two are taking their team to the next level by challenging the winners of Ober Eats Vs Hot Shot for the titles.

SUPER JAPAN “NEVER MIND”, 29/12/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Tag Match: MIKAMI & Takashi Sasaki Vs X & X
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Kasai & Ippanjin Munenori Sawa Vs Yuji Nagata, Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Fuminori Abe

The last Super Japan show of the year is being advertised as the season finale of year one. Sanshiro Takagi is so happy with how Yuji Nagata has turned out as his chosen ace that he wants to wrestle Nagata himself. He also wants to team with Munenori Sawa again and expected Nagata to get more plenty of people offering to team with him so Jun Kasai was brought in to even up the numbers. Nagata has both Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Fuminori Abe wanting to join his side so the two teams are now set.

Super Japan serves as an alternate take of what DDT could have turned into if Takagi chose that name instead of Dramatic Dream Team back in 1997. In DDT, MIKAMI & Takashi Sasaki were more like rivals than partners despite once holding the KO-D Tag Titles together back in 2002. So Takagi wants to see what it would be like if the two of them were a tag team from the beginning instead of opponents. MIKAMI & Sasaki are both curious to find out for themselves as well.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN VICTORY IN TAKASAKI”, 19/10/2025
Gunma G-Messe Main Hall (Takasaki City)

1. Next Generation Tournament ’25 – Losers Bracket: Winner Of Losers Bracket Vs Loser Of Winners Bracket
2. Mahiro Kiryu & Suzume Vs Miyu Yamashita & Pom Harajuku

Kiryu’s goal is to make it to her homecoming show as the Iron Man Champion. Yamashita briefly put that goal on hold when she won the title from her but Kiryu quickly won it back with a post-match roll up. All that has done is made Yamashita angry enough to want the championship back even it it means ruining Kiryu’s moment!


Next Generation Tournament ’25

September 22, 2025

Now in its third year the Next Generation Tournament has become established as Tokyo Joshi Pro’s annual showcase for its rookie wrestlers. The first two tournaments were put together particularly to highlight the wrestlers who debuted in 2023 but Tetsuya Koda reckons that group has now graduated past their rookie status so this year’s tournament only focuses on wrestlers who debuted in 2024 and 2025. Personally I agree with the idea that this should only be open to wrestlers with less than two years of experience.

That leaves a small field of four competitors: Kira Summer, Chika Nanase, Uta Takami and Ren Konatsu. For that reason Koda is taking inspiration from both the World Baseball Classic and also esports by adopting a double elimination bracket. That means wrestlers need to be beaten twice in order to be knocked out of the tournament. The opening bracket will be determined by a lottery and the tournament winner will be granted a title shot of their choice out of the three TJPW championships.

Those who lose a match will move down into the Losers Bracket while the two winners qualify for the final of the Winners Bracket. By the end of the tournament, the grand final will be between the Winners Bracket Champion and the Loser’s Bracket Champion but due to the double elimination rule, the Losers Champion must beat the Winners Champion twice to win the tournament. The Winners Champion will only need to beat the Losers Champion once.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “MAHIRO KIRYU TRIUMPHANT RETURN ~TOKYO JOSHI SHINOYABO~” Results

November 3, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “MAHIRO KIRYU TRIUMPHANT RETURN ~TOKYO JOSHI SHINOYABO~”, 03/11/2024
Gunma G-Messe Main Hall C (Takasaki City)
262 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Yoshiko Hasegawa defeated Uta Takami with the Muffler Hold (7:14).
2. Kaya Toribami & Toga defeated Suzume & Haruna Neko when Toribami pinned Neko with the Sento Choryu (8:47).
3. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Pom Harajuku and Arisu Endo when Tatsumi pinned Harajuku with the Sliding Hip (8:04).
4. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Round 1: Wakana Uehara defeated Chika Nanase with the Banana Pillow (8:23).
5. Maki Itoh & Kira Summer defeated Shoko Nakajima & HIMAWARI when Itoh submitted HIMAWARI with the Itoh Deluxe (11:07).
6. Mizuki, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated Miu Watanabe, Raku & Shino Suzuki when Mizuki pinned Suzuki with the Cutie Special (12:09).
7. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Miyu Yamashita & Moka Miyamoto when Kiryu pinned Miyamoto with the Spinebuster (12:40).

Even in her hometown Mahiro Kiryu cannot help but take responsibility for everything that happens around her. She aplogised early in the match for her part in promoting the show to make Gunma a more appealing place to visit. Yuki Kamifuku then instructed her to bow to all four sides of the room. Kamifuku was also there to even the odds when Kiryu had to fight Miyu Yamashita. Kamifuku poked Yamashita in the eyes and took her out with the Famouser. It was all up to Kiryu from that point on and she was able to beat Moka Miyamoto with the Spinebuster.

Kiryu was happy to see so many people from Gunma come to see the show today because it is her first time wrestling here. When she first started her wrestling career she made so many people worry for her and today she got to prove to them she is doing well. Kamifuku praised her for working so hard and also thinking of ways to repay her hometown. The Toyo Mates then decided to apologize in the ring together to end the show. Kiryu is very sorry about today and she loves Gunma! Backstage Kamifuku said when she saw Kiryu from a distance today she looked like Shohei Ohtani. She likes to think Kiryu is a two-way player too by being a kind person as well as a pro wrestler, so she might start calling her “Shohei From Gunma” from now on.

Things are currently on track for Wakana Uehara to become a repeat winner of the Next Generation Tournament. She had to fight off Chika Nanase from using the Inari Torii to spin her into the Banana Pillow for the win. She’ll be facing Haru Kazashiro in the semi-finals and does not know what to expect in their first singles match against each other. One thing’s for sure is she thinks she definitely won’t lose. Nanase was disappointed because she thought she gave it her all but it wasn’t good enough. She’ll have to start from scratch so when she does her best the next time, she will win.

6. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Kohei Kinoshita

Seattle is where MAO will have his first defence of his latest DDT Universal Title reign. It’s going to be a 3 Way Match and Yamashita is one of the opponents, making it her first time she will be properly fighting for a DDT championship (other than the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title). The other opponent is a mystery for now.

One of the other new matches on the show is on the DEFY end of things. Cody Chhun & Guillermo Rosas are known together as C4 and they are the current DEFY Tag Team Champions. One of the other regular teams is Eddie Pearl & Ricky Gibson, aka Midnight Heat. The third team have previously been opponents against each other. Bryan Keith was somebody that Shota faced during one of his American excursions two years ago.

Marina Shafir will be on the show. If Kazuki Hirata isn’t her opponent then what are we doing here (I’m predicting Yoshihiko is in the 3 Way Match)?

The teams will be drafted this Sunday before that day’s show begins.

BJW “KING OF DEATHMATCH WORLD GP TOURNAMENT”, 31/12/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

The annual New Year’s Eve show that Big Japan, DDT and others have held together for almost two decades is not going ahead this year. Instead of doing a Shuffle Tag Tournament with DDT, Big Japan will instead hold their own one night international death match tournament. BJW’s president Eiji Tosaka wants to show the power of Japan’s death matches to the world especially since next year will be the company’s 30th Anniversary. He asked DDT for their blessing and they agreed to let him do this show at Korakuen Hall instead of the usual Shuffle Tag Tournament.

It’s a disappointing decision but also one I understand. DDT will be running Sumo Hall a few days before New Year’s Eve so that will be their priority for the end of 2024. Also the New Year’s Eve show itself has been dwindling in popularity and interest over the last few years, particularly coming out of the covid pandemic where the show can’t even be held close to midnight anymore. So while I will miss the Shuffle Tag Tournament, the truth is it’s time to try something different. Big Japan’s idea kind of reminds me of the annual “BLOOD X’MAS” shows that FREEDOMS and Jun Kasai both produce every Christmas. Can they reach the same heights though? If there are any DDT wrestlers entering the tournament (Shunma Katsumata would be the likely choice) I will post updates and the show results when they happen. If not then at least that’s less stuff for me to worry about on New Year’s Eve.

1. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Round 1A: Toga Vs HIMAWARI

One of last year’s finalists opens up the tournament this time around. HIMAWARI is nervous but fired herself back up after Toga said she can only see herself winning this match. Toga also said the tournament feels fresher this year because of the inclusion of the 2024 Class.

1. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Round 1B: Shino Suzuki Vs Kira Summer

The announcement of this year’s tournament is bittersweet for Shino Suzuki because it reminds her that she watched last year’s final from ringside. It will be her first time wrestling somebody from the 2024 Class in a singles match and she is certain she has skills that Kira Summer does not have. Summer agrees that she is lacking in experience but believes in her own strength that she can win.

1. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Round 1C: Haru Kazashiro Vs Uta Takami

Just like Suzuki, Haru Kazashiro does not want to be standing in the sidelines watching the final again. She is determined not to lose in the 1st Round again and the reveal that the tournament winner gets a title shot is motivating her even more. Uta Takami is excited to enter her first tournament. It also makes her happy that her first opponent is Kazashiro and the match will be at Ryogoku KFC Hall because she loves both of them. She also said she is good at Rock-Paper-Scissors and that’s a good thing because luck might be a factor in who goes through.

1. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Round 1D: Wakana Uehara Vs Chika Nanase

Round 1 closes out with last year’s winner Wakana Uehara aiming to go two in a row. She wrestled Chika Nanase in a singles match back in June and sensed she has a hidden power, so she can be a threat. Nanase felt scared of this match at first but realised how big of an opportunity it is. You never know what will happen in pro wrestling so Nanase made it her goal to beat Uehara and knock her out of the tournament!

2. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Semi Final: Winner Of Match 1C Vs Winner Of Match 1D

The first semi-final will be the winner of Toga/HIMAWARI against the winner of Suzuki/Summer. The second semi-final is the winner of Kazashiro/Takami against the winner of Uehara/Nanase. We could get a rematch from last year’s tournament depending on how the results go. HIMAWARI Vs Suzuki perhaps?

1. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Final: X Vs X

The final will determine who will be the next challenger for one of the Princess Championships. Uehara and HIMAWARI could meet each other in the final again for the second year in a row. What if Toga gets a chance at revenge on Uehara or maybe even Kazashiro settles the score with HIMAWARI?
