TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR IN SPRING ’23”, 24/06/2023
Kobe Art Center
316 Fans – Super No Vacancy
1. Kaya Toribami defeated Haru Kazashiro with the Bird Cage (5:43).
2. Nao Kakuta defeated Toga with the Homare (5:36).
3. 3 Way Match: Yuki Kamifuku defeated Hikari Noa and Shino Suzuki when Kamifuku pinned Suzuki with the Famouser (5:42).
4. Yuki Arai defeated HIMAWARI with the Sasori Katame (8:18).
5. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Raku & Pom Harajuku when Nakajima pinned Harajuku with the Northern Lights Suplex (11:32).
6. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Yuki Aino & Mahiro Kiryu when Tatsumi pinned Kiryu after the Daydream Eternity (12:27).
7. Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh & Moka Miyamoto defeated Mizuki, Suzume & Arisu Endo when Itoh submitted Endo with the Itoh Deluxe (14:39).
The return of Maki Itoh from her American tour means her program with Mizuki finally gets back on track. Today’s show was in Mizuki’s hometown of Kobe and she rallied the fans to be behind her instead of Itoh and Miyu Yamashita. As Itoh would go on to tell everybody after the match, the booing pissed her off and flicked the switch inside her. She fired up and submitted Arisu Endo to win for her team.
Backstage Yamashita told reporters her three month stay in America has made her more open minded because she discovered how much anything goes in American wrestling. Itoh said she got tougher in America because she was able to wrestle around 10 matches in the space of a month. Moka Miyamoto told the two of them she felt lonely while they were gone but she also got tremendously stronger too. Mizuki is now left figuring out what is missing from her game that prevented her from winning today’s match.
Match #5 was a preview of the 3 Way Tag Match happening at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’23”. Future opponents Raku and Pom Harajuku had to team up against Kyoraku Kyomei. Next month Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao will face both of them again but this time Raku will be with Aja Kong and Harajuku will have Max The Impaler with her!
Yuki Arai got to have a singles match against a lesser experienced opponent for the first time when she took on HIMAWARI. She doesn’t know if she looked like a veteran out in the ring but she was able to win with a Scorpion Deathlock.
The next “TJPW INSPIRATION” will be held on 17th August. The first match announced for the show is Mizuki Vs Aiger.

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO FIGHTING SPIRITS ’23”, 16/07/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
1. Banny Oikawa Comeback Match: Banny Oikawa Vs X
2. Special Single Match: YuuRI Vs Misa Kagura
A singles match three years in the making. Both YuuRI and Misa Kagura had their debut wrestling match in JTO on 11th November, 2020. Less than a year later YuuRI jumped over to GanPro without ever getting to have a singles match against her classmate. This past weekend the tag match they had in Ganbare☆Joshi brought their feelings for each other bubbling to the surface. It pushed YuuRI to finally challenge Kagura one on one. Kagura accepted so she can beat GanPro’s YuuRI while representing the company she stayed loyal to.
Also happening over the weekend was Banny Oikawa’s return to the wrestling scene. The former Ice Ribbon wrestler took a hiatus after leaving the promotion last summer. Her return brought her to GanJo thanks to some advice from Miyako Matsumoto. Oikawa has seen the GanJo wrestlers take part in intergender matches on GanPro shows and that is a big reason why she wants to wrestle again. However GanJo no longer does mixed tag matches on their own shows. An offer was made by Michiyoshi Mishima to have Oikawa’s return match take place in GanJo first while he tries convincing Ken Ohka to start booking her for GanPro afterwards.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “PRECIOUS TIME”, 29/04/2023
Tokyo Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX
273 Fans
-. Nivea Presents Shinagawa 3-Woman Festival – Round 1: Suzume, Arisu Endo & Haruna Neko defeated Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta & Wakana Uehara by Forfeit.
1. Nivea Presents Shinagawa 3-Woman Festival – Round 1: Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Maki Itoh, Haru Kazashiro & Runa Okubo when Aino pinned Kazashiro with the Venus DDT (9:25).
2. Nivea Presents Shinagawa 3-Woman Festival – Round 1: Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & HIMAWARI defeated Mizuki, Yuka Sakazaki & Shino Suzuki when Tatsumi pinned Suzuki with the Twist Of Fate (10:22).
3. Nivea Presents Shinagawa 3-Woman Festival – Round 1: Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Mahiro Kiryu & Toga when Misao pinned Toga with the Hypami Returns (?:??).
4. Hikari Noa defeated Wakana Uehara with the Blizzard Suplex (5:27).
5. Nivea Presents Shinagawa 3-Woman Festival – Semi-Final: Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & HIMAWARI when Raku pinned HIMAWARI with the Doctor Yellow (9:31).
6. Nivea Presents Shinagawa 3-Woman Festival – Semi-Final: Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami defeated Suzume, Arisu Endo & Haruna Neko when Nakajima pinned Neko with an Inverted Hurricanrana (7:32).
7. Sawyer Wreck defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Choke Slam (6:20).
8. Nivea Presents Shinagawa 3-Woman Festival – Final: Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami when Harajuku pinned Toribami with the Pom de Justice (15:05).
The “Love Triangle” of Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku showed off the strength of their bond by winning today’s trios tournament! Aino’s use of the Venus DDT got them past the opening round. Raku’s pillow was a key item in winning the semi-final because it was used to block Rika Tatsumi’s Hip Attack. Then came the final where the spotlight was put on Pom Harajuku. Aino got rid of Shoko Nakajima with the Venus DDT, Raku used the Doctor Yellow on Hyper Misao and it all led to Harajuku pinning Kaya Toribami with the Pom de Justice. It was the biggest win in Harajuku’s career. She promised not to cry during their victory speech but did so anyway.
Meanwhile the other team in the final called themselves Kyoraku Torimei but Misao thinks it may have been a mistake to use that name. Both Nakajima & Misao agreed it was time to disband the trio with Toribami but insist it is not Toribami’s fault. They praised her for showing guts and tenacity today but feel it is time for them to flap their wings towards their own bright futures.
The American death match wrestler Sawyer Wreck won her Tokyo Joshi Pro debut against Moka Miyamoto by throwing and slamming her around the ring. Backstage Wreck said she always dances with death and she will show her love of violence in the Lighttube Death Match against Hikari Noa on Monday. Wreck also took part in the Princess Of Princess Title contract signing with Mizuki that was held after the show. She asked if lighttubes would also be allowed in that match too? Mizuki said she will do her best because she thinks Wreck is underestimating her.
Tatsumi and Suzume also took part in the signing ceremony for their International Princess Title match. Suzume spoke about how much she admires Tatsumi. It was enough to make her become a pro wrestler without any experience in martial arts or entertainment. Tatsumi wants to defend her title 100 times. She is not taking this reign for granted so there is no room for her to make any mistakes again. She also thinks Suzume was knocking on the forbidden gate when she choked her in their last match together. Suzume does not believe she is stronger than Tatsumi but she proved in last year’s Tokyo Princess Cup she can beat her.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STAND ALONE ’23”, 15/04/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
620 Fans
1. Moka Miyamoto defeated Kaya Toribami with the Korokan (7:31).
2. Suzume, Arisu Endo & Runa Okubo defeated Yuki Aino, Haruna Neko & Haru Kazashiro when Suzume pinned Kazashiro with the Ring A Bell (10:15).
3. Maki Itoh, Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Toga defeated Miu Watanabe, Hikari Noa, Raku & Shino Suzuki when Itoh submitted Suzuki with the Itoh Deluxe (13:22).
4. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Yuki Arai & HIMAWARI when Nakajima pinned HIMAWARI with the Northern Lights Suplex (9:02). (Special Referee: Shiori Aoki)
5. Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku defeated Yuka Sakazaki & Mahiro Kiryu when
Harajuku pinned Kiryu after the Wasteland War Justice (9:02).
6. International Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) defeated Vert Vixen with the Torso Choke Dragon Sleeper (10:55).
*V2 for Rika Tatsumi.
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) defeated Nao Kakuta with the Modified Face Lock (15:45).
*V1 for Mizuki.
The brand new Princess Of Princess Title run for Mizuki is off to a good start with a successful defence against Nao Kakuta. Unlike previous Princess Title matches in the past, this one featured fighting at ringside with Kakuta throwing Mizuki into the front row of chairs. Kakuta also used the Avalanche Hair Whip to thrown Mizuki back into the ring from the top rope. However Kakuta took a beating throughout the match too and was too hurt to cover Mizuki when she gave her the Shiden Kai. She went for another version of the move but Mizuki countered it and Double Stomped onto Kakuta’s shoulder when she was left sitting on the canvas empty handed. Mizuki then landed a Flying Double Stomp before taking her opponent’s arm and applying a Modified Face Lock for the submission victory.
After the match Mizuki said she was really happy that she and Kakuta got to main event a Tokyo Joshi Pro show together. She had wanted Kakuta to show new sides she has never seen before but instead the opposite happened. It’s a kind of fighting relationship she wants to continue with her. Mizuki’s next Princess Title defence is against Sawyer Wreck on 5th May but before then The Magical Sugar Rabbits have a Princess Tag Team Titles defence on 22nd April. So Mizuki’s next priority is to focus on defending the Tag Titles with Yuka Sakazaki because she only wants to concentrate on one goal at a time.
Rika Tatsumi had a brand new opponent for her second International Princess Title defence. Vert Vixen was able to withstand the attacks to her legs and fire back with powerful moves like the Stunner and Blue Thunder Bomb. She also continued using Super Kicks and Big Boots to block Tatsumi’s Hip Attack. Tatsumi switched her attack over to the Dragon Sleeper and despite some resistance at first, she was able to lock in the Body Choke and make Vixen tap out. The two bowed to each other after the match.
Tatsumi praised her challenger and told the fans she wants her title reign to bring her on an even more interesting journey. Suddenly Suzume entered the ring. She said Tatsumi is the reason she became a pro wrestler and changed her life. And it’s because of Tatsumi that it may change again because Suzume is challenging her for the title on 5th May! Tatsumi accepted, bringing up her loss to Suzume at last year’s Tokyo Princess Cup. It’s time for her to avenge the loss and get her win back. Suzume admits it is almost impossible for her to become a champion given her previous attempts to get opportunities all ended in failure. But Tatsumi inspired her to do the impossible and become a wrestler so Tatsumi can make her do the impossible again and become a champion!
The odd couple of Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku might have something going for them after all. Harajuku was understandable scared of the experience, especially when Max lifted her above their head with the intention of throwing her onto the other team. Sakazaki used the team’s lack of cohesion to run circles around them while Mahiro Kiryu focused on beating Harajuku. However Max blew away both Sakazaki & Kiryu with attacks. They then grabbed Harajuku and threw her so she landed on top of Kiryu Pom de Justice style for the surprise three count. After the match Max raised a confused Harajuku’s hand in victory and then pulled her backstage shoulder to shouler. The two are facing The Magical Sugar Rabbits for the Princess Tag Titles on 22nd April. One thing for sure is Sakazaki didn’t figured out how to beat them today.
Being a pro wrestling referee can be a tough job. Shiori Aoki found that out first hand when the SKE48 idol was tasked with officiating a tag match. One with Hyper Misao in it. Misao immediately accused Aoki of bribery because she heard she had a meal with Yuki Arai that Arai paid for a couple of days ago. Misao then ordered her to give Arai a thorough inspection for illegal objects. Aoki did so and completely missed Misao blinding HIMAWARI with a spray can. Misao cradled HIMAWARI and Aoki counted to three. However Daisuke Kiso revealed the result did not count because Aoki never called for the ring bell to start the match. The match restarted with Aoki trying to catch up with Misao’s cheating. Misao’s spray ended up in Arai’s hands. When Aoki grabbed the can and took it away, she accidentally pressed it and sprayed into Aoki’s eyes! HIMAWARI and Shoko Nakajima tried to pin each other with flash moves so for some reason Aoki did a cartwheel before counting the pin. Aoki counted to three for the Northern Lights Suplex and correctly declared Nakajima the winner. Aoki said she felt comfortable in the role and would like to come back as an even stronger referee. HIMAWARI said she will bring her own referee next time so she can win. Meanwhile Arai is trying to figure out if buying a meal for her bandmate counts as bribary then does that mean she should stop eating dinner with her? Kyoraku Kyomei thought she did a good job and she can now be their referee friend. Nakajima encouraged her to go look up footage of Shiro Abe on Youtube so she can imitate him.
An 8-Woman Tag Match put all of the active members of The Up Up Girls together. Wakana Uehara was the unlucky girl to get the full fledge Oyasumi Express attack from all four opponents. She tagged in Toga to get out there but the other rookie didn’t fare much better. Yuki Kamifuku turned things around by resisting the Giant Swing from Miu Watanabe and putting her in a Manjigatame instead. Watanabe countered that into a Front Neck Lock Giant Swing. Kamifuku got her way back into the match by giving both Hikari Noa & Raku the Famouser at the same time. However Watanabe grabbed both her & Uehara in a Double Body Slam. The match came down to Maki Itoh pressuring Shino Suzuki into fighting back against her. Itoh countered a Sleeper Hold with a Chincrusher, landed a DDT and made Suzuki submit to the Itoh Deluxe.
The two youngest rookies Haru Kazashiro and Runa Okubo started off Match #2 against each other. They soon switched out to Haruna Neko and Suzume respectively. Yuki Aino and Arisu Endo then had their exchanges back and forth. Kazashiro tried beating Suzume with a Low Cross Body but Suzume turned things around with a Top Rope Facebuster. She then hit the Ring A Bell for the win.
A missed Overhead Kick may have been what cost Kaya Toribami the match against Moka Miyamoto. It was from that point when Miyamoto took control and kept the attacks up. Toribami was able to hit the Overhead Kick on another attempt but then she missed the Rolling Senton off the second rope. Miyamoto took back the advantage and pinned Toribami with the Korokan.
Hyper Misao is producing her own one-off event called “HYPE!” in Kitazawa Town Hall on 25th May. Misao cannot guarantee that all members of the TJPW roster will be on the show but she wants to create and exciting show for everybody.
A one day trios tournament sponsored by Nivea will take place in Shinagawa on 29th April. The winning team receives a year’s worth of cream care body wash as their prize. Moka Miyamoto Vs Sawyer Wreck will also be on the show in a non-tournament bout.
The Up Up Girls will be holding a solo event in Shinjuku FACE on 10th June.
The 10th annual Tokyo Princess Cup will take place across seven shows this year. The early rounds will be at Ryogoku KFC Hall on 15th, 16th, 17th & 22nd July. The Quarter Finals are at Korakuen Hall on 29th July, the Semi Finals in Korakuen on 12th August and the Final in Korakuen on the 13th.
Yuki Arai & Maki Itoh Vs Yuka Sakazaki & Shoko Nakajima was announced for 5th May to celebrate Arai’s 2nd anniversary of her wrestling debut.

7. International Special Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita & Samuray Del Sol Vs Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada
Coming out of the anniversary show, Pheromones are demanding that Yuki Iino be chosen as the No. 1 Contender for the KO-D Openweight Title. It has been refused by Hisaya Imabayashi and Yuji Hino agrees with the decision. Hino knows Iino is a strong man but he wants nothing to do with that character. At first he said he will only consider giving Iino a title shot if he becomes a serious heavyweight again. Then Makoto Oishi came up with an idea called the World Hino Classic. Pheromones will go through a couple of trial matches and if they win them all then Iino gets his title match. The opening match is being called the Group Of Death because Iino & Danshoku Dieno have to fight the Ω team of Oishi and Bambi. All Pheromones need to do is win this match and they will go straight to the WHC final. What the final is will be revealed if Pheromones make it out of the Group Of Death.

Both Miyu Yamashita and Maki Itoh are missing the show to wrestle in Canada this weekend.
DDT “APRIL FOOL 2023”, 09/04/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Rukiya Ikeda Debut Match: Yuya Koroku Vs Rukiya Ikeda
2. Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Yuni
3. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Keigo Nakamura
A new tag team of HARASHIMA & Keigo Nakamura are next to challenge ShunMao for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. It is the addition of Nakamura to the match that excites MAO & Shunma Katsumata. The two of them have fought HARASHIMA a lot so he’s nothing new. But Nakamura is from the new generation of DDT wrestlers who are all hungry to climb up the ladder. It was Nakamura who wanted to challenge the champions. That took HARASHIMA off guard but he quickly came around on the idea when he realised it is making Nakamura want to work hard.
The elementary school wrestler Yuni finally revealed he was El Unicorn all along and has ditched the mask to start a new chapter in his career. Now in high school, Yuni wants to make a fresh start in wrestling and thinks showing his real face is the best way to go about it. He is back to using the name Yuni but it is now written in katakana instead of hiragana. He is training to grow bigger and stronger for his goal to win the KO-D Title while still in high school. He sees his match against Yuki Ueno as a huge opportunity he does not want to miss.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STAND ALONE ’23”, 15/04/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao Vs Yuki Arai & HIMAWARI (Special Referee: Shiori Aoki)
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Nao Kakuta
Last December Mizuki chose Nao Kakuta to be part of her 10th Anniversary match. This week Kakuta returned the favour by telling Mizuki she wants to fight her for the Princess Of Princess Title. It is a challenge Mizuki says she cannot refuse.
SKE48 idol Shiori Aoki gets to be a pro wrestling referee. There’s a conflict of interest though because Yuki Arai will be wrestling in the match. Does Aoki go on to play favorites or even go the complete opposite way and screw over her fellow idol? Even if she calls everything fair and square, having to officiate a Kyoraku Kyomei match sounds way too much for a rookie referee to handle.
DDT “YAMADA FISHERIES PRESENTS 4.23 SHIBUSHI FISH MEAT DECISIVE BATTLE @ UNAGI STATION”, 23/04/2023
Kagoshima Shibushi City Unagi Station
1. Fish Vs Meat Full-Scale Battle! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shishamo Power, Unagi Mask & Super Unagi Mask Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida
The war between fish eaters and meat eaters went lopsided after Kazusada Higuchi betrayed Shishamo Power & Unagi Mask last month. Higuchi revealed he prefers meat over seafood so jumped over to side with Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida for the next match in the feud. The seafood team looked to be in trouble until the president of Yamada Suisan revealed the company has been developing another Unagi Mask wrestler to even the odds. According to the president, Super Unagi Mask is more well-trained than the regular Unagi Mask. He thinks the two of them would work well together in a seafood wrestling Tag League. Sanshiro Takagi likes the idea and will consider launching Yamada Suisan Pro Wrestling if the seafood team wins their battle against the meat eaters.
Shiro Koshinaka and Rayne Leverkusen will both be on the show.
DDT “MEGA MAX BUMP 2023 IN YOKOHAMA”, 03/05/2023
Yokohama Budokan
1. Chiitan☆Debut Match: Chiitan Vs X
2. International Special Single Match: Saki Akai Vs Rayne Leverkusen
3. DDT Extreme Title: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs Shunma Katsumata
4. DDT Universal Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs MAO
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuji Hino (c) Vs X
So at the moment Hino will be defending the KO-D Title at Yokohama Budokan. He just does not have an official opponent yet. It might be Iino if Pheromones win the World Hino Classic.
Things are going well again for Tetsuya Endo now he is the new DDT Universal Champion. He considers Naruki Doi a friend and wants to see him sticking around in DDT. What Endo does not like is having MAO as his first defence. However the pride of the Miyagi prefecture is on the line with Endo representing Shiroishi City and MAO representing Osaki City. This side will determine which city is the best!
Both ShunMao wrestlers have a chance of becoming double champions at the same time. Shunma Katsumata challenges Jun Akiyama for the DDT Extreme Title. It will be back to the crazy stuff for Akiyama after having such a nice, normal and relaxing match with Kotaro Suzuki.
Rayne Leverkusen is debuting for DDT in April but her only match announced so far is a singles bout against Saki Akai in May.
The insane mascot Chiitan makes its pro wrestling debut. Its presence has already driven Chris Brookes into a murderous rage so he’ll probably be involved in the match. Maybe Pokotan can be a part of it too.
Nick Wayne will be on the show making his first appearance in Japan for DDT.
DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2023”, 23/07/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan
1. Dramatic Dream Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs El Desperado
Turns out Daisuke Sasaki kept himself busy while he was out from injury. Instead of staying around in bed he went out, did the work and signed up a dream match for himself against El Desperado from New Japan! Desperado is an interesting figure, constantly referring to the wider pro wrestling scene in Japan on his social media. At times it looked like that was the only interactions with other wrestlers that the public would get to see. But as the scene opens up more in order to get fans back into the arenas Desperado is at the forefront of getting into matches with wrestlers outside of NJPW. In a past life he’s had a little bit of involvement in DDT related shows. He’s been part of a few Monthly Young Communication shows that happened back in 2011. Only recently Sasaki and Desperado fought each other in a tag match that ended in a DQ so there is some bad blood between the two going into this dream bout.

*Yuka Sakazaki fails in V3. Mizuki becomes the 12th Princess Of Princess Champion!
A clean sweep of title changes marked Tokyo Joshi Pro’s big day at Ariake Coliseum. In the main event Mizuki added her name to the short list of people to hold the Princess Of Princess Title, beating her closest friend Yuka Sakazaki. It was an emotional match for both Magical Sugar Rabbits because neither wanted to fight each other but knew it had to happen. Sakazaki used a top rope version of the Magical Merry-Go-Round before doing the regular kind but Mizuki was barely able to kick out. Mizuki missed the Whirling Candy the first time but eventually caught Sakazaki with the move. She landed the Diving Foot Stomp a few times but Sakazaki became dead weight that Mizuki struggled to roll over, giving her enough time to kick out of the pin. In the end it took one rolling strike to counter another with Mizuki stopping Sakazaki in her tracks with a Back Elbow. It then took two Cutie Specials for Mizuki to finally become the new champion.
The two hugged after the match and Mizuki received her title belt. She got on the microphone and told the audience how much she loves everyone in TJPW. She will hold onto the Princess Title and do her best to be like the previous champions who she all admires. Now that she is champion she promises to work with everyone to make TJPW even more exciting. She also won’t let anybody take Sakazaki away from her. In regards to any title defences she said backstage she wants to fight anyone but her tag partner.
The Princess Tag Team Titles have been rescued from The Wasteland War Party but it could be going on a new adventure around the world. 121000000 entered the arena with new ring costumes and an extra pep in their step. The contract signing for the title match only took place an hour before the show began. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh got fired up during it after Heidi Howitzer called both of them weak. The match got off to a rough start for the challengers when Howitzer & Max The Impaler ambushed them. However the tide changed when Yamashita got Max with a High Kick and German Suplex combo. The champions targeted Itoh and had her set up for the Master Blaster when she got out of the way, giving Yamashita an opening to hit the Return Crash. Max was given the Skull Kick and Itoh landed the Flying Big Head on Howitzer to get the three count. Yamashita is about to embark on a three month expedition to America. She made it clear she wants 121000000 to defend the titles around the world. Backstage they again tried to get the media to join along in their “One To…” “…Million!” catchphrase but again they kept silent.
Rika Tatsumi can now call herself the one and only grand slam champion in TJPW! She defeated her Daydream partner Miu Watanabe to win the International Princess Title, becoming the only wrestler to have won that, the Princess Of Princess Title and the Princess Tag Team Titles in their career. She made her entrance sporting a new short haircut and focused on using submission holds like the Figure 4 and Dragon Sleeper. Watanabe countered it with her strength, lifting Tatsumi out of the Sleeper and spinning her around into a Neck Hanging Giant Swing! But the Dragon Sleeper came back as a way for Tatsumi to counter the Tear Drop. Tatsumi then switched it into the White Dragon Sleeper to make Watanabe submit. Backstage Tatsumi said she saw a version of Watanabe she never knew before and experienced a daydream she never knew existed. She went into this match thinking it could result in Daydream splitting up but she would rather stay together with Watanabe and continue teaming with her. Watanabe agrees and is looking forward to seeing how her tag partner’s title reign will go. Now that Tatsumi has the IP Title and the grand slam, she now wants to recapture the other belts so she can truly become the Triple Crown King!
It was a good effort from Yuki Arai but she just couldn’t beat Aja Kong. She took some risk by using a Missile Dropkick for the first time to rock her opponent. The size difference rendered both the Sharpshooter and the Full Nelson Buster uselss so Arai found ways to hit the Finally kick from higher ground, whether it was from standing on the ropes or standing on the ring apron while Kong was outside. The tactic almost got Kong counted out but she made it back by 19. Kong launced the counter attack with her steel can. Arai took a Piledriver and kicked out of a Back Drop. She dodged the Diving Back Elbow and started throwing kicks to fight Kong off. A Short-Range Lariat knocked Arai down and she was able to kick out at one but the Vertcial Drop Brainbuster brought her spirited performance to an end. Kong gave Arai some words outside the ring afterwards before leaving. Kong’s words were “Let’s do it again.”
Match #6 featured a few returns. Billie Starkz is back and she got to form an American Midwest tag team with Yuki Kamifuku. Their opponents NEO Biishiki-gun were not flattered by Starkz’s appearance. Sakisama stared her down while Mei Saint-Michel got annoyed by Starkz ignoring her. That didn’t last long especially at that moment when Starkz did a Swanton Bomb out of the ring towards Saint-Michel’s direction. NEO Biishiki-gun regrouped and scored the win when they got Kamifuku with La Revolucion. Backstage Sakisama said she isn’t sure how long she will be around TJPW this time. It all depends on what mood she and Saint-Michel are in. Also Saint-Michel wants to go visit Odaiba because she heard there’s a giant robot there.
Have no fear, citizens. The threat of a rampaging Andreza Giant Panda destroying Ariake Coliseum has been squashed by Kyoraku Kyomei! Andreza’s tag partner Haruna Neko made the mistake of entering the ring while the panda was still walking down the ramp at slow speed. Hyper Misao attacked Haruna while Shoko Nakajima stood on the top turnbuckle shooting at it with a laser cannon. When Andreza got to enter the ring Misao sprayed it with a fire extinguisher. Andreza fought back with massive Headbutts. Misao tried attacking it with a glowing Kyoraku Saber but it didn’t have any effect. Andreza missed a Headbutt, hitting Neko by mistake. Misao then crashed the Hyper Mobile in the panda outside the ring while Nakajima pinned Neko with the Northern Lights Suplex. Backstage Neko said she would like to team with Andreza again. She knows the rest of Andreza’s family have wrestled in matches before so they can join in too.
Ryo Mizunami was feeling the groove in her return to TJPW. She even surprised Yukinori Matsui with a hearty slap on the back during the in-ring inspection before the bell rang. Moka Miyamoto took some heavy hits from her before getting to make a comeback. Mizunami took her best shots though and held her guard. The gap in experience was too much for Miyamoto and she ended up getting pinned with the Diving Guillotine Drop. Backstage Mizunami praised Miyamoto for still having life in her eyes after getting beaten. She’d like to fight her again when Miyamoto gets stronger.
A new double team finisher called the 5G was shown off by Free WiFi, but it’s a move that comes from Hikari Noa’s past. Noa & Nao Kakuta both picked up Pom Harajuku in a Double Argentine Backbreaker and then flipped her over into a Facebuster for the pin. The move was used by Noa before when she was in Pandemic Boo-Boo but now it belongs to her & Kakuta. The match also showed some trouble in the relationship between Raku and Ram Kaichow. When they were in the ring together, Raku accused Kaichow of cheating on her! Kaichow got the last word in by hitting Raku with the Rainmaker before Free WiFi did their finish. Even though Kaichow was on the winning team, she couldn’t help but do the Goodnight Express pose to the cameras while leaving the ring. She stopped once she noticed Free WiFi saw her doing it. Backstage Kaichow tried explaining to everyone that she’s not cheating on Raku because she would never do that to a girl that cute. She also thinks Raku is a genius for bringing in a pillow to do her nap spots. This entire drama took all then attention away from Yuki Aino’s new outfit too. She doesn’t mind though. In fact she brought up an idea to team with Kaichow as The Raku Lovers Alliance!
The 2023 class was put on full display for Match #2. Both Haru Kazashiro & Runa Okubo made their debuts teaming with Kaya Toribami & Toga. Both Kazashiro and Okubo got to show off on HIMAWARI. Kazehiro hit a Shoulder Blow while Okubo did a Waterwheel Drop. Wakana Uehara & Shino Suzuki played their parts to cut off the other team while Mahiro Kiryu pinned Toga with the Spinebuster. Backstage Toribami apologised to the rest of her team because she wanted to give them all their first win. Okubo said she was nervous but had fun. She wants to become a cute and cool wrestler that people will admire. Kazashiro has been watching TJPW since primary school and felt honored when she heard Sayuri Namba announce her name. She wants to be the kind of wrestler who will inspire people to work harder.
The first match of the show was the Daisy Monkey showdown. Suzume and Arisu Endo fought their hearts out against each other, ending with Suzume hitting the Ring A Bell for the victory. Backstage Suzume said Endo is the girl she would like to be: bright, straightforward and loved by everyone. Suzume can see a future where the two of them are champions together. Endo thinks the two of them were able to convey their feelings for each other through wrestling.
The show began with a musical performance from The Up Up Girls. It included the debut of their brand new song “SHINING MARK”.
There will be three more “big match” TJPW events taking place later this year. “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’23” will be at Ota Ward Gymnasium on 8th July. Then “WRESTLE PRINCESS IV” will be held in Tama Mirai Messe on 9th October. Lastly, the 10th anniversary show “WE ARE TJPW” is happening in Korakuen Hall on 1st December.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’23”, 18/03/2023
Ariake Coliseum
1. Suzume Vs Arisu Endo
2. Haru & Momo Debut Match: Mahiro Kiryu, Wakana Uehara, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki Vs Kaya Toribami, Toga, Haru & Momo
3. Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta & Ram Kaichow Vs Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku
4. Ryo Mizunami Vs Moka Miyamoto
5. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao Vs Andreza Giant Panda & Haruna Neko
6. Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Billie Starkz
7. Special Single Match: Aja Kong Vs Yuki Arai
8. International Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi
9. Princess Tag Team Titles: Max The Impaler & Heidi Howitzer (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh
10. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki (c) Vs Mizuki
At the time of writing The Wasteland War Party have successfully defended the Princess Tag Team Titles twice in America. They have at least one more defence on their schedule before they return to Japan but odds are real good they will get to defend the belts against 121000000 on this show.
It’s only fitting that the smallest person on the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster gets to team up with Andreza Giant Panda. As long as Haruna Neko does not scratch the panda everything will be ok. No wait, we can’t be trusting Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao not to come up with something dangerous for the match. After all when something that giant comes along it would attract the attention of a kaiju and a superhero.
Good to see Ryo Mizunami back. This time she gets to put Moka Miyamoto to the test.
Ram Kaichow returns to TJPW too, which makes me wonder would Triple Six have more coverage if they got Free WiFi more often? Also the trio of Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku should get a team name at this point. The three of them have been inseperable for months now.
Shove all of the rookies into the same match! Good luck to Mahiro Kiryu and Kaya Toribami for having to keep that one together. Shino Suzuki and Toga will have already debuted by then. It’s Haru & Momo who will be having their first match.
For the first time since Arisu Endo’s debut match, Daisy Monkey are fighting against each other! Can Suzume stay ahead of her partner or has Endo progressed enough to catch up to her?

13. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Ryota Nakatsu
14. DDT Extreme Title – Regular Pro Wrestling Rules: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs Kotaro Suzuki
15. DDT Universal Title: Naruki Doi (c) Vs Tetsuya Endo
16. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuji Hino (c) Vs Yukio Naya
Sixteen matches in five hours. What is this, an AEW Dark taping? Yukio Naya faces his tag partner and bigger brother figure Yuji Hino for the KO-D Openweight Title. For years now so much has been expected of Naya to become a big player in pro wrestling. Has he finally put it all together to become the champion of DDT? If that is not enough, Kenta Kobashi will be at the show as a special guest commentator for the main event.
The spirit of DNA can be found in the KO-D Tag Team Titles match. ShunMao were feeling good after defending the titles twice in three days but that mood changed once their next opponents showed up. Kazuasada Higuchi & Ryota Nakatsu were some of their toughest rivals back in the DNA days. Higuchi won his matches against Shunma Katsumata more often than not while Nakatsu was the first person to hand MAO his first loss. While ShunMao do not like having Harimao as their next challengers, they know they must beat them in order to carry on their plans to change the landscape of pro wrestling.
A “Super Powerhouse Tag Team” is coming over to take on Super Sasadango Machine & Antonio Honda. No other clues about the team’s identity have been found yet.
Now that Drew Parker is giving up death match wrestling maybe he will find more time to wrestle in DDT more often. Him and Chris Brookes teaming together as the Baka Gaijins will add a little freshness to the tag team division.
Both Saki Akai and Kazuki Hirata are getting matches to celebrate their pro wrestling anniversaries. Both matches feature wrestlers who have been close to Akai and Hirata respectively throughout their entire careers.
We say goodbye to the DDTeeeen!! project with Ilusion & El Unicorn both moving up to the main roster. Raimu Imai was a part of the short lived project so he gets to be in the match. Munetatsu Nakamura is a new face for the three of them to be in the ring with.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 3RD “FUTARI WA PRINCESS” MAX HEART TOURNAMENT”, 11/02/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
657 Fans – Super No Vacancy
1. Wakana Uehara defeated HIMAWARI with a Sleeper Hold (6:26).
2. Yuki Kamifuku, Nao Kakuta & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Raku, Haruna Neko & Kaya Toribami when Kamifuku pinned Toribami with the Famouser (11:32).
3. Arisu Endo defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Camel Clutch (9:27).
4. Yuki Arai defeated Pom Harajuku with the Finally (6:40).
5. Hikari Noa & Janai Kai defeated Rika Tatsumi & Yuki Aino when Kai pinned Aino with the Tornado Kick (12:30).
6. Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated Miu Watanabe & Suzume when Sakazaki pinned Suzume after the Toy Story 4 (12:58).
7. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Final: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh defeated Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao when Itoh submitted Nakajima with the Itoh Deluxe (25:35).
The result of this Max Heart Tournament final is historic for two reasons. First, Maki Itoh is now the first woman to win both the Max Heart Tournament and Tokyo Princess Cup. And second, Miyu Yamashita has finally won a tournament after almost ten years of trying! 121000000 had to fight their biggest challenge in the end, Kyoraku Kyomei. Before the match began Hyper Misao got on the microphone and said she is happy these were the two teams in the final. Of course it was to set up a sneak attack and 121000000 saw it coming. They blocked the ambush and took control of the opening minutes. Misao briefly had her mask fall off during the match but she ignored it to hit Yamashita’s leg against the ring post. She put the mask back on and continued targeting the leg. Itoh tagged in but her momentum was cut off by Shoko Nakajima. Kyoraku Kyomei kept trying to isolate Itoh until Yamashita came to the rescue leading to all four wrestlers being falling down on the canvas. 121000000 got up first and fired each other up by headbutting each other. Yamashita countered the Hypami Returns with the Skull Kick to get rid of Misao. Nakajima was then given a Flying DDT/Wheelbarrow German Suplex combo. Itoh followed up by locking in the Itoh Deluxe, making Nakajima tap out!
Nakajima gave Itoh a nod of respect after the match before being helped to the back by Misao. 121000000 were then presented with the trophies and gave out a victory speech. Itoh said after seeing the look on Nakajima’s face, she understands how she feels. It makes her want to do her best for Nakajima and everyone else in Tokyo Joshi Pro. That leads to their next challenge. It is now up to 121000000 to take the Princess Tag Team Titles from The Wasteland War Party and it’s going to happen at Ariake Coliseum on 18th March! Yamashita said it was frustrating that her team with Itoh wasn’t able to produce good results for this long because they are so great together. It’s fun to work with Itoh and fight with Itoh so they are perfect business partners. No matter how long Yamashita lives for, Itoh will always be her partner business or otherwise. They then tried to close out the show by saying “One To…” “…Million!” expecting the fans to chant along. It didn’t really catch on so they spent their post-match interview backstage workshopping it in front of the reporters. The professional media did not join in.
Fresh off of her American expedition, Yuka Sakazaki reunited with Mizuki and you wouldn’t tell there is any tension between them as we get closer towards “GRAND PRINCESS ’23”. They were just as happy to be teaming together as The Magical Sugar Rabbits as they always are. Their teamwork was on par and led to them beating Miu Watanabe & Suzume with the Toy Story 4. Backstage Mizuki said she watched Sakazaki’s matches in America and saw how different they are compared to over here. The deal meant Mizuki was able to wrestle a lot of singles matches too so she is preparing for their Princess Of Princess Title match on 18th March. Sakazaki said she can tell TJPW is even better than before because everyone cherishes each and every match they take part in. She also wants MagiRabi to be the next wrestlers collaborating with Idolmaster Cinderella Girls because they just beat the current girls involved with the marketing campaign. Speaking of that franchise, Watanabe & Suzume were hoping to get a lot of Idolmaster fans supporting them today because there was an Idolmaster concert going on next door in the Tokyo Dome.
Welcome to TJPW, Janai Kai! Not everyone gave Kai a happy hello in her first match with the promotion. Rika Tatsumi pretty quickly tried to strangle her. Kai did get along with her tag partner Hikari Noa. Tatsumi missed a Hip Attack and hit Yuki Aino by mistake. Noa & Kai did their trademark moves alongside each other and Kai pinned Aino with the Tornado Kick. Backstage Kai said she’s been studying Watanabe’s matches and is ready to fight her for the International Princess Title on 18th February. Tatsumi now thinks she is friends with Kai. Aino didn’t believe her because she doesn’t choke people she wants to be friends with. Tatsumi explained her attempt to strangle Kai was just a baptism ceremony in order to establish friendship.
Before Yuki Arai gets to fight Aja Kong in Ariake she had to deal with another dangerous monster today… Pom Harajuku! Arai’s opponent today came out dressed in SKE48 merchandise and looked like she wanted to enjoy a concert rather than wrestle. Harajuku asked Arai to perform SKE48’s new single instead of doing the match. Arai agreed when the audience began clapping along so she danced to the song until Harajuku rolled her up for a nearfall. Harajuku targeted Arai’s shins but her tactics didn’t work. Arai was able to hit her with the Finally and get the win. She has two matches with Kong coming up and wants to make sure Kong sees how good she has become.
It was a day of firsts across the board. Yamashita won her first tournament, Kai had her first match in Japan, SKE48 had their new song played in the Kanto region for the first time and Arisu Endo earned her first ever singles win! She was able to beat Moka Miyamoto by trapping her in the Camel Clutch and keeping the pressure up until Miyamoto submitted. She said it was a big deal she was able to get her first win by herself. She wants to get stronger and win more often. She also promised to send an update about her big achievement over to Reika Saiki when she gets the chance. She inherited the Camel Clutch from Saiki which is why she is always so determined to win with it.
If you forgot that Yuki Kamifuku is a dog person she made it clear by stomping on Haruna Neko a lot. Neko recovered after Mahiro Kiryu’s Apology Knee Drop to tag in Raku. Neko returned later to take out both Kiryu & Nao Kakuta with a Double Neckbreaker Drop. She was stopped with a Big Boot from Kamifuku who then went on to give Kaya Toribami a Brainbuster. She then won with the Famouser.
Wakana Uehara gets her first ever wrestling win too! She caught HIMAWARI in a Sleeper Hold and kept it on to drag her opponent down into submission. The result makes Uehara really happy because whenever she trains with her seniors she feels like she is not ready yet. Today’s result makes her want to work even harder so she can compete against more of the TJPW roster. HIMAWARI said this loss is more frustrating than the others but she will treat it as a lesson she has to learn. She will now go train her mind to become so strong she will never give up to a Sleeper Hold again!
There were several announcements throughout the show, many of them related to “GRAND PRINCESS ’23”. One of them is the return of NEO Biishiki-gun! The team of Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel will go against Yuki Kamifuku & Billie Starkz on the show.
Juria Nagano gave everyone an update on her finger injury. She fractured her left index finger during her most recent match on 29th January. There wasn’t a date given for her return but she promised the fans she is definitely coming back to the TJPW ring.
Watanabe & Suzume promoted their crossover merch with Idolmaster Cinderella Girls at the start of the show. They were then surprised with the unexpected appearance of Andreza Giant Panda! After the panda struggled to get into the ring it was then announced Andreza will be part of “GRAND PRINCESS ’23”.
Three trainees will make their pro wrestling debuts in March. Toga will have her first match in Shinjuku on 6th March. Haru and Momo will both make their debuts at “GRAND PRINCESS ’23”.
Last but not least a few new shows were added to the schedule, each of them being a homecoming show for a TJPW wrestler. Kamifuku is getting a show in Kanagawa on 27th May. Yamashita & Itoh are getting a show in Fukuoka on 25th June.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT WINTER ~OSAKA PERFORMANCE~”, 04/02/2022
Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall
166 Fans
1. Kaya Toribami defeated HIMAWARI with the Bird Cage (6:43).
2. Suzume defeated Wakana Uehara with the Ring A Bell (7:06).
3. Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta & Yoshiko Hasegawa defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko when Kakuta pinned Neko with the Shiden Kai (11:26).

The main event preview of the Max Heart Tournament final went to a time limit draw. Kyoraku Kyomei started the match asking for a serious fight only to attack 121000000 before they could respond. Arisu Endo was took out a roll of tape with a aim of wrapping it around her opponents but couldn’t find the line on the tape to pull from. She had to ask Yukinori Matsui to find it for her. Shoko Nakajima got the tape and wrapped Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh together outside the ring. Yamashita & Itoh were able to get back into the ring together and somehow do a few of their signature moves while still being stuck to each other. The tape was eventually broken and the two were freed. Endo turned her attention to Moka Miyamoto while the two tag teams still battled each other. After 20 minutes no winner could be determined.
After the match Yamashita said she is happy to face Kyoraku Kyomei at the final on 11th February. Itoh acted like she was closing out the show and asked the audience who the cutest in the world is? Hyper Misao stopped her because her team didn’t win the match. Nakajima agreed and said it doesn’t matter who the cutest in the world is because she is the biggest in the world! Misao claimed she didn’t get to show even half of her ability today and Kyoraku Kyomei will win the Max Heart Tournament. Endo then said she will go and beat Miyamoto on the same show.
Raku was able to counter Mizuki’s Cutie Special with a Front Neck Lock. However Mizuki pulled out her own counter by turning that hold back into the Cutie Special for the win.
Kaya Toribami now has a finisher! The Bird Cage is a Double Chickenwing submission hold.

1. KO-D Tag Team Titles – Falls Count Anywhere Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Fuminori Abe
It’s like something out of Sega’s Yakuza series. The KO-D Tag Team Titles are being put on the line in a Falls Count Anywhere match because two teams of crazy wrestlers. Where is it taking place? At the glitzy and glamoruous Burlesque Tokyo club in Roppongi! The idea from Sanshiro Takagi & Fuminori Abe brings back memories of Takagi’s adventures with Munenori Sawa when they were the champions. ShunMao are up for the challenge.

4. KO-D Openweight Title Next Challenger Decision Match: HARASHIMA Vs Yukio Naya
The No. 1 Contender for the KO-D Title will either be HARASHIMA or Yukio Naya. HARASHIMA wants to be the one who challenges for the championship in the main event of DDT’s 26th Anniversary show. Naya has become a stronger wrestler thanks to Hino so it will mean so much to him if he can beat Hino for the KO-D Title.
Whoever leaves Roppongi as the KO-D Tag Champions will have to defend the belts at this show three days later.
Three wrestlers who have very little in common are joining up to challenge BURNING for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. The one thread that connects Shinya Aoki, Yuki Ueno & Super Sasadango Machine is they all do regular radio appearances outside of wrestling. Sasadango convinced DDT to give the three of them a title shot because they can all promote it on the radio in the lead up to the show.

2. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki (c) Vs Mizuki
The second match announced for “GRAND PRINCESS ’23” is a real doozy. Yuki Arai gets a second shot against Aja Kong but this time she will be on her own. Their first match against each other was a tag match that took place five months into Arai’s wrestling career. It was so long ago in Arai’s mind that she will no rewatch the match because she is a different wrestler now. She thinks her head has gotten harder so she is not scared of being hit by Kong’s steel cans again.
