BASARA “BASARA 290 ~UTAGE~” Results

October 15, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 290 ~UTAGE~”, 15/10/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – B Block Final: Kyu Mogami & Naka Shuma defeated Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA by Disqualification after a Weapon Attack (11:26).
2. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – A Block Final: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Daichi Kazato when Kamino pinned Kazato with the Lariat (11:01).
3. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (w/ Gouma Ryu) defeated Isami Kodaka, Lil’ Kraken & Takeru Inoue when Hiroshi pinned Inoue with the Perfect Plex (8:57).
4. SAGAT, Minoru Fujita & Tomoki Hatano defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, Daiki Shimomura & Tatsuya Hanami when SAGAT pinned Shimomura with a Spinning Bearhug Slam (12:34).
5. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – Final: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Kyu Mogami & Naka Shuma when Nakano pinned Shuma with the Takagari (18:30).

This year’s IRON FIST Tag Tournament winners are Aijin Tag! They got past Shitamachi Rocket in the semi final, mostly because Daichi Kazato’s constant backfiring moves was too much for even Ryota Nakatsu to make up for. Their opponents in the final were the two delinquints from MJ2. They got past Hyakusho Ikki by tricking Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA into using weapons in front of the ref so they would get disqualified. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino were able to defeat Kyu Mogami & Naka Shuma to win the final but they told the fans afterwards that is only half of MJ2 they have beaten. The other half Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda also happen to be the Iron Fist Tag Team Champions so Aijin Tag want to face them next with the belts on the line! Honda was in the corner for Mogami & Shuma during the show. He didn’t say anything but did shake hands with Nakano & Kamino to accept their challenge. The title match will happen on 31st October.

All that has done is made Yamashita angry enough to want the championship back even it it means ruining Kiryu’s moment!

Hot Shot, IRON FIST Semi Final, Extreme Title 4 Way

October 3, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN VICTORY IN SHINAGAWA”, 04/10/2025
Tokyo Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX

1. Next Generation Tournament ’25 – Round 1B: Uta Takami Vs Ren Konatsu
2. Next Generation Tournament ’25 – Round 1A: Kira Summer Vs Chika Nanase
3. Rika Tatsumi Vs Raku
4. Arisu Endo, Suzume & Mahiro Kiryu Vs Miyu Yamashita, Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami
5. Yuna Manase & Toga Vs Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida
6. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara Vs Mizuki & Pom Harajuku
7. Miu Watanabe & Shino Suzuki Vs Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro

Yuna Manase & Toga have chosen a name for their tag team. They can now be called Hot Shot whenever they team together. They think it is the perfect name for them because it’s a phrase used for athletes who both excel in sports and can attract attention.

A fan vote that was done on Tokyo Joshi Pro’s Twitter has Uta Takami as the favorite to win the Next Generation Tournament ahead of Kira Summer. Although Chika Nanase didn’t finish last in the vote (that was Ren Konatsu), her low score as well as being left out of TJPW’s second season of the Next Generation Youtube series and also not having a homecoming show yet is convincing her she is the tournament underdog.

DDT “ECHIGO CHIN CRUSHER”, 05/10/2025
Niigata Higashi Ward Plaza

1. Special Single Match: To-y Vs Ilusion
2. Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku Vs HARASHIMA & Kazuki Hirata

4. Special Tag Match: Jun Akiyama & Daichi Sato Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida
5. Yuki Ueno & Kazuma Sumi Vs Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada
6. Special Tag Match: Super Sasadango Machine & Danshoku Dieno Vs MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO)

This is the match order for Sunday’s DDT show.

BASARA “BASARA 289 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~” Results

October 2, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 289 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~”, 02/10/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. 3 Way Match: SAGAT defeated Banana Senga and Ryuma Sekimo when SAGAT pinned Sekio with the Goregrind (8:58).
2. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – B Block Round 1: Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA defeated Isami Kodaka & Takumi Tsukamoto when Sekine submitted Kodaka with the Let’s Combine (14:21).
3. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – A Block Round 1: Ryota Nakatsu & Daichi Kazato defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Tsutomu Oosugi when Nakatsu pinned Hiroshi with an Inverted Hurricanrana (11:47).
4. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – B Block Round 1: Kyu Mogami & Naka Shuma defeated Daiki Shimomura & Lil’ Kraken when Mogami pinned Kraken after a Weapon Attack (10:47).
5. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – A Block Round 1: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano when Nakano pinned Inoue with the Takagari (15:59).

This year’s IRON FIST Tag Tournament begins and Aijin Tag are feeling unstoppable. Their opponents Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano both have a background in volleyball and used volleyball inspired moves. They even name their team the Death Volleyball Club. Although they lost to Aijin Tag today, Inoue & Hatano claim just need to beat them the next two times they meet in order to become the real winners in the end.

The MJ2 domination in BASARA slightly increases with one half currently holding the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles and the other half here advancing past the first round. Kyu Mogami & Naka Shuma cheated to be Daiki Shimomura & Lil’ Kraken by attacking them with a chair. Neither of them thought the win was anything special and they felt like their opponents were missing for the entire match. They warn everyone that MJ2 is in BASARA to take it over!

Ryota Nakatsu got one back on Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi after getting pinned by him in Gunma last week. This time Nakatsu avoided the Spinebuster and used an Inverted Hurricanrana to get the three count on his upcoming Union MAX Title challenger. Daichi Kazato also thinks he and Nakatsu won because Gouma Ryu, the brains of WizRYU, wasn’t there to be with his team today. Shitamachi Rocket feel like they still need to improve as a team but if they have a score for today it is 95 out of 100.

The winners of the very first IRON FIST Tag Tournament decided to enter it again but couldn’t make it past the first round this time. Instead Ryuichi Sekine rolled up Isami Kodaka into a position for FUMA to kick him so Sekine could then apply the Let’s Combine to make Kodaka give up without Takumi Tsukamoto being able to stop it.

The IRON FIST Tag Tournament semi-finals on 15th October will be Shimatachi Rocket Vs Aijin Tag in the A Block and Hyakusho Ikki Vs MJ2 in the B Block. The final will take place on the same show.

BASARA “KANRA PRO WRESTLING FESTA 2025” Results

September 28, 2025

BASARA “KANRA PRO WRESTLING FESTA 2025”, 28/09/2025
Gunma Kanra Junior High School Gymnasium
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Masato Kamino defeated Lil’ Kraken with the Lariat (8:53).
2. Minoru Fujita & MAZADA defeated Takato Nakano & Takeru Inoue when MAZADA pinned Inoue with the Shoda Otoshi (15:07).
3. Takumi Tsukamoto & Yasu Urano defeated Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura when Tsukamoto pinned Shimomura with the Zudon (11:54).
4. Daichi Kazato defeated SAGAT with the Modified OPA! (9:31).
5. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Ryota Nakatsu, Ryota Hama & Kotaro Nasu when Hiroshi pinned Nakatsu with a Spinebuster (11:29).
6. Masato Tanaka & Daisuke Sekimoto defeated FUMA & Ryuichi Sekine when Tanaka pinned FUMA with the Sliding D (15:43).

BASARA returned to the area FUMA has called home for quite a few years now. Their annual visit to Gunma pits FUMA against some big name opponents in the past and it was the same here. He & Ryuichi Sekine wore new matching gear for their tag match against the two outsiders Masato Tanaka & Daisuke Sekimoto. While their teamwork took them far, including a tandem that had Sekine give Tanaka the Kamikaze after FUMA hit them with a Missile Dropkick from behind, victory escaped from their grasp. Sekimoto grabbed both Tanaka and FUMA to do a Double German Suplex and Tanaka got up first to hit FUMA with the Sliding D for the win.

Ryota Nakatsu tried to impress the locals by bringing along the three championships he currently holds (BASARA’s own Union MAX Title, the Dove Tag Title from Dove Pro and the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Title from Ganbare☆Pro) but Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi spoiled his day by getting the pin over him!

The match placement for the card has not been decided yet other than the main event. Kazuki Hirata now has some backup in the form of Danshoku Dieno and Antonio Honda. Will Akito defend him from wrestlers cashing in their title shots too?

The current Right To Challenge Arm Cover holders are Yuki Ishida (Green), Hideki Okatani (Blue) and Yuki Iino (Red). So far Hirata has been finding different ways to avoid having to defend his KO-D Openweight Title against wrestlers cashing in their title shots.

Shin-Kiba 1st RING

She never returned to TJPW but decided she should make one more appearance in the promotion before she calls it quits. Her one night only return puts her in a match with three wrestlers who all mean a lot to her for one reason or another: Shoko Nakajima, Miyu Yamashita and Yuki Kamifuku.

IRON FIST Tag Tournament 2025

September 2, 2025

BASARA’s tag team tournament hasn’t really followed a solid schedule for the last while. When the promotion had its management change one of the early ideas they came up with was to hold another tag tournament this October. It’s only just recently that they revealed it is the next edition of the IRON FIST Tag Tournament. To mark the occasion of the tournament’s return after missing last year, the very first winners of the competition are among the participants. There are also wrestlers from 2AW and HEAT-UP taking part this year. The eight teams entering the tournament are:

Hyakusho Ikki (Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA)
Aijin Tag (Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino)
Isami Kodaka & Takumi Tsukamoto
Ryota Nakatsu & Daichi Kazato
WizRYU (Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Tsutomu Oosugi)
Daiki Shimomura & Lil’ Kraken
Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano
MJ2 (Kyu Mogami & Naka Shuma)

Super Japan Continues, Is Hiroshi Too Scary for Nakatsu?

August 21, 2025

Heads up but I will be travelling over the next few days to see some wrestling in London, which includes “FORBIDDEN DOOR”. However it is kind of a light weekend of shows within the DDT circle so there should not be any delay in getting results and writing a report for the Tokyo Princess Cup semi finals on Saturday. I might be able to at post results of tomorrow’s Baka Gaijin + Friends show in the Philippines too. If not then that will be saved for the next DDT Around The World article at the end of the month.

GANBARE☆PRO “MIZUKI WATASE 10TH ANNIVERSARY – IT’S A SUMMER FILM 2025”, 26/08/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yuna Manase & YuuRI Vs Moeka Haruhi & Hanako Nakamori
2. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Takuya Wada Vs Fuminori Abe, MAO & Tyson Maeguchi
3. Sentaro Motoshima Debut Match: Munetatsu Nakamura, Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motoshima Vs Rukiya, Kazumasa Yoshida & Takeru Inoue
4. GanPro Vs FREEDOMS: Ken Ohka, Shuichiro Katsumura & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Toru Sugiura, Takashi Sasaki & Dragon Libre
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Yumehito Imanari (c) Vs Masaaki Mochizuki
6. Mizuki Watase 10th Anniversary Match – Fluorescent Lighttube Death Match: Mizuki Watase Vs Jun Kasai

An injury to Tomoya Hirata has taken him off the show. Takashi Sasaki will be taking his place in the Ganbare☆Pro Vs FREEDOMS match. Which he should have been part of in the first place because he’s been a frontal figure of this rivalry from the start.

BASARA “BASARA 287 ~TAKAGARI 29~”, 31/08/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Takeru Inoue Vs Shota Kawakami
2. Daichi Kazato 15th Anniversary Match: Daichi Kazato Vs X
3. Isami Kodaka & Keisuke Ishii Vs Lil’ Kraken & Munetatsu Nakamura
4. 4 Way Match: SAGAT Vs Daiki Shimomura Vs Takato Nakano Vs Yasu Urano
5. 4 Vs 4 Elimination Match: Ryota Nakatsu, Ryuichi Sekine, FUMA & Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Masato Kamino, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga

BASARA has a path set towards Halloween for their next big Union MAX Title match. Ryota Nakatsu says he isn’t scared of defending the title against anybody but Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi thinks the champion has been ducking him. Hiroshi has recently formed a quartet with Speed Of Sounds and Gouma Ryu called WizRYU but Ryu isn’t a guy you can rely on for an Elimination Match so Masato Kamino is taking part instead. Nakatsu is relying on Hyakusho Ikki and Takumi Tsukamoto to back him up in the meantime.

BASARA “BASARA 288 ~UTAGE~”, 17/09/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda (c) Vs SAGAT & Minoru Fujita

Two members of the Super Family are challenging for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles because SAGAT is already fed up with Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda invading BASARA. He called upon Minoru Fujita to be his partner.

0. Exhibition Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Munenori Sawa
1. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs Shinya Aoki

So there wasn’t actually plans for Super Japan to last past the first show but Sanshiro Takagi was happy enough with how the launch did to run another event under the name. Yuji Nagata is still his pick to be the ace and he’ll get a far more serious match this time because his opponent is Shinya Aoki! There is a little bit of history here because Aoki defeated Yuji’s brother Katsuhiko Nagata in the DREAM Middleweight Grand Prix back in 2008.

Takagi himself is confident he can make a full return to the ring by the end of the year. However he isn’t sure if he can make it back in time for November’s Sumo Hall show. He also is only currently cleared by his doctor to do light exercises. With that being said, Takagi wants to shake off some ring rust so he will take part in an Exhibition Match with his old tag team partner Munenori Sawa. The bout is only scheduled to have a five minute time limit but Sawa has told Takagi he wants the two of them to go as wild as they can and cause some trouble!

MIKAMI and DJ Nira will be on the show.

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

Nakatsu has successfully defended the MAX Title against Hiroshi one time before back in February 2022. That was Hiroshi’s second time challenging for the belt. The other time was when it was revived to be used as BASARA’s top championship all the way back on Christmas Day of 2016.

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.
