May 11, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2025 IN FUJISAWA”, 11/05/2025
Fujisawa City Shonandai Cultural Center
384 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Miu Watanabe & Mifu Ashida defeated Haru Kazashiro & Kira Summer when Watanabe submitted Summer with the Canadian Backbreaker (8:14).
2. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Arisu Endo and Ivy Steele when Tatsumi pinned Steele with the Twist Of Fate (8:21).
3. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Suzume, Haruna Neko & Chika Nanase when Raku pinned Nanase with the Doctor Yellow (10:27).
4. Yuki Arai & Moka Miyamoto defeated HIMAWARI & Uta Takami when Arai submitted Takami with the Scorpion Death Lock (10:16).
5. Yoshiko Hasegawa & Kaya Toribami defeated Mizuki & Shino Suzuki when Hasegawa pinned Suzuki with the Diving Double Knee Attack (11:46).
6. Aja Kong defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the Back Drop (7:30).
7. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (w/ Fujikyun♡) defeated Maki Itoh & Toga when Kamifuku pinned Toga with the Diving Famouser (13:02).

As is usually the case when Tokyo Joshi Pro visits Yuki Kamifuku’s neck of the woods, the show was a charity event sponsored by Fujisawa City. Part of the proceeds were donated to a university scholarship fund made to support local children. In the main event Ober Eats were accompanied by the city mascot Fujikyun♡ who cheered them on and even helped Kamifuku reach a rope break at one point. Maki Itoh was in a cheeky mood for the match because she wanted to beat up Fujikyun♡. Then when she found out where Kamifuku’s parents were sitting she dragged Kamifuku over to them in a Headlock and got them to spank Kamifuku! Wakana Uehara took out Itoh with a Snap Suplex, allowing Kamifuku to Dropkick Toga and pin her with the Diving Famouser.

Kamifuku thanked everyone for coming to the show even with a disruption to the Odakyu Line today. This is the fourth time TJPW put on a show like this for her which means a lot because Fujisawa City is an important part of her identity. She told a story of meeting her middle school teacher recently. The teacher told Kamifuku they remembered she always wanted to be in showbiz and it must have been tough to take such a difficult path to get there. Kamifuku told the teacher that children aren’t as weak as they think and anyone can make their dreams come true. She also reminded everyone today is Mother’s Day so remember to thank your parents. She later told Uehara she hopes today encourages her to liven up Ebina just like how Kamifuku livens up Fujisawa. Elsewhere Itoh told Toga they just lost what was supposed to be her triumphant return match in Japan.

Before the Aja Kong Vs Mahiro Kiryu match could begin, Kiryu noticed Kong brought along an 18 gallon steel can and asked if she was going to hit her with it? Kong says so what, it counts as part of her body so what’s the problem? The response must have stirred something within Kiryu because she then claimed she will not apologize today and will beat Kong instead! She then apologized for saying that and when the match began apologized again for telling everyone she wasn’t going to apologize only to immediately go back on her promise. She gave it a good go after that but Kong treated her like a small fry. She hit Kiryu over the head with the steel can and then knocked her down with a Lariat. Kiryu kicked out of the pin, earning her a chant from the fans but Kong then pinned her with the Back Drop. After the match Kong patted Kiryu on the head and told her she wasn’t a small fry after all. Her lesson was if Kiryu can work that hard against her then she is capable of working hard in general. She thanked TJPW for booking her today then started talking about wanting a singles match with Kamifuku because Kamifuku keeps running away from the idea!

Today was Fumirin’s first day working with TJPW as a referee. She was the official for the first, third and fifth matches on the show while Daisuke Kiso was the ref for the other matches on the card. Fumirin had to deal with Pom Harajuku’s screaming in Match #3 which was described as her being baptised into the company.

Hyper Misao missed the show due to a right hand injury so some of the undercard matches had to be changed around.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR 2024 SPRING” Results

May 25, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR 2024 SPRING”, 25/05/2024
Kanagawa Fujisawa City Shonandai Cultural Center
347 Fans

1. Nao Kakuta defeated Haru Kazashiro with the Shiden Kai (7:08).
2. Kakeru Sekiguchi & Uta Takami defeated Toga & Runa Okubo when Sekiguchi submitted Okubo with the SG Clutch (9:51).

Today was the third annual Tokyo Joshi Pro homecoming show for Yuki Kamifuku in Fujisawa City. A portion of the proceeds from the event was donated to local scholarship funds and other education related charities. Even the mayor of Fujisawa City was at the show to congratulate Kamifuku. In the main event Kamifuku wrestled in a new costume and teamed with Aja Kong to beat Rika Tatsumi & Moka Miyamoto. The teamwork was not always smooth because Kamifuku accidentally hit Kong with a Big Boot that was aimed for Miyamoto, but Kamifuku kept her resolve and went on to win the match. She said she never thought she would be teaming with Kong in her hometown and is happy to see so many locals show up today. Kong said they were opponents at last year’s show and she is glad they teamed up and won today. It was worth the pain of getting accidentally kicked in the face! She is also tempted to challenge Kamifuku for one of her championships because the belts are purple and purple is her colour.

Miu Watanabe has developed a new submission move to win her match. It was created to be something that will beat Vert Vixen on 9th June. The move looks similar to the Kondo Clutch but her name for it is currently a secret. She says she came up with a very special and wonderful name for the move. Next time she uses it she will tell everyone what it is called.

9. Tetsuya Naito Vs Jake Lee

Hey, remember when UJPW said they were holding a second show to include all of the companies that were left out of the first one? Well that’s not happening here! No All Japan, TJPW or GanPro wrestlers here. Also DragonGate is missing this time around too. What we have is a mostly New Japan and NOAH show with a sprinkling of DDT and Big Japan talent as well as Stardom in the token joshi spot. The one thing in defence of no TJPW talent, and it’s a big one to be fair, is because TJPW have a show in Kobe on the same day and are going to Fukuoka the day after. That’s a far, far distance away from Sapporo. It’s a bit similar for GanPro having a show in Saitama that weekend too. It’s still disappointing to see though. This month’s “ALL TOGETHER” show in Budokan Hall bombed at the box office so I’m wondering if plans are changing and these events are going to get shelved. UJPW will be sticking around for behind the scenes logistical stuff but as a series of massive co-promoted supershows it already looks like it is not going to work out.

They don’t get to team up as often as they used to but after reaching the final of a tag tournament in Germany last September, RENEGADES believe they have what it takes to become champions together. They don’t want to waste this opportunity to win the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles.

361 Fans

Yuki Kamifuku’s homecoming was a big occasion with some of the sales from the show being donated to a Fujisawa City scholarship program. The mayor of the city was in attendance and Kamfuku’s good friend Asuka was also featured on the undercard. Kamifuku teamed with Shoko Nakajima in the main event to take on Aja Kong & Mahiro Kiryu. Kong used her tin can as a weapon on her opponents but missed a vital shot that hit Kiryu instead. Kamifuku then landed the Diving Famouser on Kiryu to win the match.

After the match she thanked Kong for taking part in the show. Kong told Kamifuku that next time they should team up together and then after that they should do a singles match against each other! She suggested they can even do the singles match at the Akibadai Cultural Gymnasium nearby. Kamifuku wasn’t sure if it is possible to set up the singles match without management’s approval but Kong insisted she consider the idea. Kamifuku replied that if it ever does happen she will do her best to sell every ticket she can.

Meanwhile Kong had some words for Kiryu backstage, mainly to motivate her. She wanted to show everyone that Kiryu is not a small fry and encouraged her to show no fear when fighting to catch up with Kamifuku. This isn’t a friendly competition, it is all about getting to the top.

2. International Special Single Match: Tetsuya Endo Vs Nick Wayne
3. DDT Extreme Title: MAO Vs Kazuki Hirata
4. KO-D Tag Team Titles: X & X Vs X & X

MAO and Kazuki Hirata have been chosen to compete in the vacant DDT Extreme Title match. MAO thinks it is fitting to be the next person to hold the title after Katsumata. Hirata understands that would be lovely story telling but that doesn’t matter because he is going to win it instead! He expects the match to be so exciting it will help Katsumata recover quicker.

Now in his 30s, Tetsuya Endo is starting to notice it takes longer for him to recover from his matches so it motivates him to see the next generation rise. That is why he wants to face Nick Wayne in a singles match for Wayne’s DDT debut in Japan to keep him sharp for Matt Cardona in July.

Sanshiro Takagi wants to team up with Eruption one time before Saki Akai’s retirement takes place. His King Of DDT match against Sakaguchi also inspired him to come up with the idea. Ryota Nakatsu is looking forward to facing Takagi because he likes fighting his bosses. Just ask Isami Kodaka in BASARA.

5. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuji Hino (c) Vs Chris Brookes

One of Akai’s requests before she retires is try and win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles with Eruption one more time. Takagi immediately put the match together for “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2023”.


Peter Pan Main Event, Shunma Injured, KO-D Tag And Extreme Titles Vacated

May 22, 2023

Not sure what this bit of news will end up being but DDT will have a “big announcement” revealed on their Youtube channel this Wednesday. What it is or if they are being honest by calling it big I do not know. The synopsis on the video’s page does not provide any clues as far as I can see. A previous kind of tease they did like this was the announcement of “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022” last year so maybe this one could be related to “ULTIMATE PARTY 2023” in November?

BASARA “BASARA 219 ~KOO~”, 23/05/2023

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2023”, 25/06/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title: X Vs X
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: X & X Vs X & X

The original plan was for ShunMao to defend the KO-D Tag Team Titles on this show. However Shunma Katsumata injured his foot during yesterday’s DDT Extreme Title defence and has since been diagnosed with a fractured talus bone. He is going to get surgery for it and agreed to vacate both the KO-D Tag Titles and the Extreme Title. New champions for both titles will be crowned on the Korakuen Hall show instead.

Nick Wayne will be on the show, kicking off his tour of Japan with DDT.

DDT “DDT YOKOHAMA UNLIMITED SPECIAL”, 01/07/2023

2. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Maki Itoh

Miyu Yamashita’s first match back in Tokyo after three and a half months will be against the returning Sawyer Wreck. Yamashita has hit the Skull Kick on tall opponents before so she is confident she can hit Wreck with it too.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2023”, 23/07/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Special Tag Match: Chiitan☆ & Pokotan Vs Andreza Giant Panda & Super Sasadango Machine
2. Dramatic Dream Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs El Desperado
3. DDT Universal Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Matt Cardona (w/ Steph De Lander)
4. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuji Hino (c) Vs Chris Brookes

In today’s press conference Brookes said all four people he beat to win the King Of DDT (HARASHIMA, Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Akiyama and Kazusada Higuchi) all mean a lot to him and are also big parts of DDT’s history. The cheers of the fans also pushed him to victory which makes him feel even happier to be with DDT. The last time he wrestled in Sumo Hall was a year ago when he and Masahiro Takanashi won the KO-D Tag Titles. His parents were there to see him wrestle and he remembers telling them the next time he has a match there it will be in the main event with the KO-D Title on the line! He knows how strong Hino is but has become confident he can beat him.

Tetsuya Endo was not pleased to find out the big ex-WWE wrestler coming to challenge him is Matt Cardona. He heard Cardona is being paid 30 million yen for the booking and he thinks that kind of money is better off being spent on someone else. Like himself for example. Cardona is also bringing along Steph De Lander to be in his corner. She’s been described as his Sensational Sherri equivalent (since WWE took away his “Miss Elizabeth“, aka Chelsea Green) and will certainly add an extra threat towards Endo’s DDT Universal Title reign.

DDT is running a competition for fans to come up with a tag team name for Chiitan & Pokotan.

Kanagawa is home to Yuki Kamifuku so she is getting a big main event match for the show. She has to face Aja Kong in a tag match! If that turned out to be Mahiro Kiryu’s idea then she’ll really have to apologize for that. Shoko Nakajima once teamed with Kong but this time they are opponents.

Kanagawa Fujisawa City Shonandai Cultural Center Citizen’s Theater
335 Fans

2. 3 Way Match: Hyper Misao defeated Pom Harajuku and Mahiro Kiryu when Misao pinned Harajuku with La Magistral Cradle (8:28).

6. Maki Itoh & Yuki Kamifuku defeated Miyu Yamashita & Nao Kakuta when Kamifuku pinned Kakuta with the Diving Famouser (11:54).

Today’s show was a homecoming for Yuki Kamifuku in Fujisawa City. When the show began she presented the mayor of Fujisawa City with a donation made out of a portion of the event’s earnings. The donation will go towards local scholarships. The main event itself was Kamifuku forming the MakiYuki Happy team with Maki Itoh to take on Miyu Yamashita & Nao Kakuta. Kamifuku welcomed her opponents to her town and when she gave them Eye Pokes she told them it was “The Fujisawa Way”. MakiYuki Happy ended up shining brightly in the end. Kamifuku got rid of Yamashita with the Famouser and then pinned Kakuta with the Diving Famouser.

She thanked the audience for coming to see Tokyo Joshi Pro because she loves the company as much as she loves her hometown. When she was a student she had difficulty finding a hobby to be passionate about. When she joined TJPW she found her dreams and one by one made them come true. This show was the biggest one and she is happy to come back here with her friends and colleagues from Tokyo.

Upcoming Tokyo Princess Cup opponents Yuka Sakazaki and Suzume faced off in a tag match on the undercard. After the match Sakazaki said in her backstage interview that she is not feeling any danger when she wrestles against Suzume. She is looking forward to their semi final match but right now she doesn’t feel threatened at all.

The 3 Way Match was summer themed. Hyper Misao and Pom Harajuku came out wearing straw hats, swimming goggles and playing with a beach ball. The referee even wore a tie dye shirt over his regular uniform. Only Mahiro Kiryu showed up looking normal and got mad over being left out.
