TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SPRING TOUR ’19 ~ READY SET, GO!”, 13/04/2019 Shin-Kiba 1st RING 250 Fans – No Vacancy
1. Rika Tatsumi & Haruna Neko defeated Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Tatsumi submitted Kiryu with the Dragon Sleeper (8:57).
2. Reika Saiki defeated YUMI with the Tower Bridge (7:20).
3. Natsumi Maki & Hikari Noa defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Mina Shirakawa when Maki pinned Shirakawa with the Backlash (7:41).
4. Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated Yuna Manase & Himawari Unagi when Sakazaki pinned Unagi with a Missile Kick (12:02).
5. Sakisama & Misao defeated Miu Watanabe & Raku when Misao pinned Watanabe with the Vanitas (14:09).
6. Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima & Marika Kobashi defeated Maki Itoh, Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino when Nakajima pinned Aino with a Frankensteiner (14:46).
A High Kick from Miyu Yamashita to Yuki Aino gave Shoko Nakajima the opening to pin Aino with a Frankensteiner. She congratulated Yamashita on becoming a double champion but asked when she would next defend the TOKYO Princess Title because she wants a shot! Yamashita silently agreed to it and left Nakajima in the ring. Nakajima said Yamashita is like Godzilla and Yuka Sakazaki is like Mothra. This makes Nakajima feel like Anguirus (the kaiju that came after Godzilla and is kind of forgotten about). On 3rd May at Korakuen Hall, Nakajima will face Yamashita and this time Anguirus will win!
Misao is now using a Reverse Tiger Driver which she has named Vanitas. She ran down the Up Up Girls on the microphone, telling them their hard work, sweat, tears and friendship are all meaningless. Rika Tatsumi entered the ring and stood up to Misao. She tried to convince Misao that she is Hyper Misao, the hero that protects love and peace in Tokyo Joshi Pro! Misao denied that and said she executed the weak the same way one would remove weeds from a garden. Tatsumi told Miu Watanabe she will team with her to battle NEO Biishiki-gun on 3rd May.
Marika Kobashi will be taking another break from pro wrestling after 25th May to focus on her education. Her goal is to go to university so she is studying a lot to pass her exams.

7. TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) defeated Reika Saiki & Marika Kobashi when Mizuki pinned Kobashi with the Diving Foot Stomp (14:34). *V4 for The Magical Sugar Rabbits.
8. TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) defeated Nodoka Tenma with the Crash Rabbit Heat (11:57). *V8 for Miyu Yamashita.
Nodoka Tenma was able to hit the Killswitch but this time Miyu Yamashita kicked out of the pin. Tenma then missed a Flying Body Press and Yamashita took control with a Reverse Attitude Adjustment. She was then able to get the three count with a Buzzsaw Kick and the Crash Rabbit Heat. Yamashita said the match was more fun than she expected. Her goal now for her current TOKYO Princess Title reign is to bring her number of title defences up to double digits. After today she now has eight defences and for her ninth she wants to take on Yuka Sakazaki! However Sakazaki turned down the offer because she is focusing on going overseas to bring more attention to Tokyo Joshi Pro. Yamashita asked her for a match before she goes because everyone will want to see it. Sakazaki changed her mind and agreed. The title match will be at Hakata Star Lane on 31st March. Yamashita said it will be the last joshi match to be held in the venue before it closes down for good.
In the earlier TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles match, Sakazaki used the Merry-Go-Round to get rid of Reika Saiki while Mizuki hit the Diving Foot Stomp onto Marika Kobashi. Sadly for Kobashi this ends her dream of regaining the Tag Titles she never lost with Saiki. She is stronger and more confident today than she was when she won the titles a year ago. She hopes to team with Saiki again and wants to continue training with her.
The big story coming out of the show involves Hyper Misao. First she lost to Rika Tatsumi in Tatsumi’s return match from injury. Before the match begun Misao talked on the microphone about being bound by fate to Tatsumi. Misao has never gotten a chance to win a championship so she asked Tatsumi if she would like to team up and go after the Princess Tag Titles. Tatsumi agreed and they had their match. Misao looked upset after she lost but she still gave Tatsumi a fist bump and all looked alright. Later, Sakisama started attacking Miu Watanabe after their match, complaining about nobody in Tokyo Joshi taking pro wrestling seriously while she was gone. Tatsumi ran in to stop her but Sakisama attacked her too. Misao then entered the ring but instead of stopping Sakisama, she instead hit Tatsumi with a chair! Sakisama was confused. This wasn’t her idea. Misao told her she does not want to laugh while she is crawling on the ground anymore. She wants to turn the world upside down. If what Misao is now is the result of the justice she believed in, it was all a mistake and she will destroy it to become stronger. She needs Sakisama to help her become stronger. Sakisama asked her to show how serious she wants to do this. Misao proved it by taking off her mask and cutting in half with a pair of scissors! They exited the ring together, leaving Tatsumi alone with the remains of Hyper Misao’s mask.
Both Maki Itoh and Natsumi Maki tried their hardest to appeal for cheers during their match. Tensions were getting so bad between the two that they both spat water in each other’s faces as the match went on. Maki escaped from the Itoh Special and went for the Backlash but Itoh blocked it and pressed down for the pinfall. Itoh has now given Maki her first pinfall loss in Tokyo Joshi! Itoh said Maki is more popular than her, is faster, has more skill and longer stamina. But that just motivated Itoh to win even more. Itoh admits she is jealous of Maki and she would like to live her life. Maki said she would never want to live Itoh’s life even if she is reborn. When Maki left the ring, Itoh shrugged off the insult. When Itoh is reborn again she will be reborn as Itoh!
The debuting Mahiro Kiryu lost and took the fall as expected. She said her life changed when she discovered pro wrestling. She hopes someday her wrestling can change another person’s life the same way.
Yuna Manase is now using the Dodon as her finishing move. Her version of the move is called the Suzuki Dynamic.
The result in the opening match means Pinano Pipipipi has won by pinfall for the first time in her career!
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2019 WINTER ~HIGH SCORE~”, 02/02/2019 Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall 250 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House
1. Shoko Nakajima defeated Himawari Unagi with the Northern Lights Suplex (8:09).
2. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Pom Harajuku with the Fame Asser (6:45).
3. Yuna Manase defeated YUMI with the Neck Screw Hold (6:31).
4. Natsumi Maki & Hikari Noa defeated Maki Itoh & Raku when Maki pinned Raku with the Backlash (12:50).
5. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Pinano Pipipipi defeated Reika Saiki, Marika Kobashi & Mina Shirakawa when Mizuki pinned Kobashi with the Cutie Special (11:52).
6. Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino defeated Miyu Yamashita & Miu Watanabe when Tenma pinned Yamashita with the Killswitch (11:41).
Nodoka Tenma scores a big win over Miyu Yamashita! Tenma and Yamashita were duelling back and forth to hit their finishers when Yuki Aino got behind Yamashita and lifted her up on her shoulders in the Doomsday position. Tenma was then able to hit a Flying Bulldog from the top rope then finished Yamashita off with the Killswitch. The Bakuretsu Sisters celebrated while Yamashita quietly left the ring in defeat. Tenma said she’s been able to win her last two matches because of Aino’s power. Since they are sisters that means Aino’s power is also Tenma’s power. Tenma knows that she has to face Yamashita alone to win the TOKYO Princess Title. Aino assured her that she will win.
Mizuki was happy to wrestle against Marika Kobashi again. Today was a chance for her to discover if Kobashi has become stronger coming back from injury. Mizuki also wanted to cut off any momentum Kobashi has, which she did with the Cutie Special. The Magical Sugar Rabbits are confident they are a better team than Muscle JK but they realise they cannot be careless against them. Reika Saiki promises to refine her teamwork with Kobashi to prepare for the TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles match.
Who is cuter, Natsumi Maki or Maki Itoh? That’s the question both women want the answer to. After their tag match Maki asked Itoh if she had a mirror in her house. Itoh says she spends more time looking in the mirror than she does looking at the TV. Itoh did a crowd poll asking who was cuter. She was taken aback when Maki got the louder crowd response. Itoh demanded a singles match with Maki on 23rd February to settle this argument.
The fifth and final trainee from the current class of Tokyo Joshi Pro rookies is ready to make her debut. Mahiro will have her first match on 23rd February. She promises to try her hardest to meet everyone’s expectations.
Hyper Misao returns to Tokyo Joshi on 10 February. Rika Tatsumi returns on 23rd February. Tatsumi told everyone to prepare for the Dragon’s Revival!

6. Shoko Nakajima, Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino defeated Miyu Yamashita, Yuki Kamifuku & Miu Watanabe when Tenma pinned Watanabe with the Killswitch (11:22).
When Nodoka Tenma got the pin in the main event it was Miyu Yamashita who asked her to be the next challenger for the TOKYO Princess Title. Tenma didn’t expect this and with encouragement from Yuki Aino and Shoko Nakajima she accepted it. The title match will take place at the 23rd February Shinjuku FACE show.
Muscle JK are back in business and ready to reclaim the TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles! They won today’s No. 1 Contender match when Marika Kobashi locked Hikari Noa into a Front Necklock for the submission victory. The Magical Sugar Rabbits came out after the match and told Muscle JK that their title match will happen on 23rd February. Kobashi told them she is not crying today and she will not cry anymore.
In the match between Yuka Sakazaki and YUMI, Sakazaki was put off by YUMI’s height and tried to leave the match when she couldn’t reach her hand for a test of strength. Sakazaki was able to counter a Full Nelson into an Omoplata to make YUMI submit. YUMI said that in training Sakazaki is always kind but she is different when it comes to the actual wrestling match.
A new referee named Ishiguro is now working with Tokyo Joshi Pro. Several of the girls gave him a handshake before their matches to welcome him into the promotion.
Sakisama returns to Tokyo Joshi for a match on 23rd February.

With Marika Kobashi back in the groove she wants to team up with Reika Saiki again and regain the TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles. The Muscle JK team won the belts last May but had to vacate them three months later when Kobashi went down with her injury. They did not get an immediate title shot for two reason. One, Saiki already had a chance to win them back when she teamed with Maki Ito during Kobashi’s absence but lost the match. And two, another team wants to be in the next title match. Natsumi Maki & Hikari Noa are that other team. In her short time here in Tokyo Joshi Pro, Maki has spent most it in the ring with Noa both as teammates and opponents.

The impersonators Hiroshi Tanabota and Monooki Goto approached Chinsuke several times to try and win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Chinsuke chased them off each time until the venue’s manager Mr. Sato opened a door and accidentally knocked Chinsuke out. Mr. Sato unintentionally pinned Chinsuke while he checked on him and ended up becoming the champion. Chinsuke won back the title a little while later when he ambushed Sato inside the building and trapped him under a ringside mat. Tanabota and Goto applauded from the bleachers.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “BE UPDATED TO THE FUTURE, THE FUTURE, THE FUTURE”, 23/02/2019 Shinjuku FACE
1. TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Winners Of 26/1 Tag Match
Yuka Sakazaki stood beside the arguments going on between the two teams vying for a title shot. She misread the situation and thought they were asking for a 4 Vs 2 match of some sort. To her credit, that kind of thinking might have avoided putting the Magical Sugar Rabbits in a situation where they would defend the titles against both teams in a 3 Way Tag Match. Instead they will go head to head with the better team out of the two potential challengers.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI X BELLE EPOQUE BEAUTY COLLEGE BOX OFFICE – I WANT TO BECOME BEAUTIFUL, I WANT TO BE POPULAR”, 19/01/2019 Tokyo Belle Epoque Beauty College Event Hall 215 Fans – No Vacancy

6. Miyu Yamashita, Miu Watanabe & Raku defeated Mizuki, Yuna Manase & YUMI when Yamashita pinned YUMI with the Attitude Adjustment (13:01).
This Tokyo Joshi Pro show was a collaboration with the Belle Epoque Beauty College. Each wrestler taking part had their hair and make up done by one of the college students. Azusa Takigawa was involved as the show’s adviser. After the main event Miyu Yamashita said her make-up turned messy from the match. But she sees that as evidence for how hard she worked in the ring.
Marika Kobashi has only worked a handful of matches since her return from injury this month. With that said, she wants to continue teaming with Reika Saiki so Muscle JK can regain the TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles! Saiki said she already tried to win back the titles with Maki Ito last year and failed. But now that Kobashi is back she too wants the pair of them to challenge for the belts they never lost. Yuka Sakazaki entered the ring and accepted the challenge. However Natsumi Maki & Hikari Noa came out and said that they should get the next title shot instead. Sakazaki doesn’t want to defend the titles against both teams at the same time so instead a No. 1 Contenders Match with Saiki & Kobashi against Maki & Noa will take place on 26th January. Sakazaki is excited to see everybody on the roster doing their best to increase the value of Tokyo Joshi’s championships. But she and Mizuki will never lose the Tag Titles to anybody!
Yuki Kamifuku was accompanied by her pet dog Zac for her match against Himawari Unagi. She says Zac brings her good fortune. Kamifuku also said that with her makeup she was now the “Mariah Carey of Fujisawa”.
The girls in the 3 Way Match all had their faces painted to look like cats.
Aja Kong, Mika Iwata from Sendai Girls and Rina Shingaki from K-DOJO will all compete on the 31st March show in Hakata Star Lanes. They are coming in as special guests because the show will be the last joshi wrestling event to take place in the venue before it closes down.
The Tokyo Joshi Offer match on the “JUDGEMENT 2019” pre-show will be Yuna Manase, Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino Vs Natsumi Maki, Hikari Noa & Miu Watanabe.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’19”, 04/01/2019 Tokyo Korakuen Hall 1,381 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House
1. Marika Kobashi Return Battle: Raku, Hikari Noa, Pinano Pipipipi & Miu Watanabe defeated Marika Kobashi, Mina Shirakawa, Haruna Neko & Pom Harajuku when Noa submitted Harajuku with the Modified Cobra Twist (12:54).
2. The 2nd Queen Of U.S.A. Decision Battle: Veda Scott defeated Hyper Misao and Yuna Manase with the U.S.A. (6:45). *Veda Scott becomes the 2nd Queen Of U.S.A.
3. Millie McKenzie & Natsumi Maki defeated Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino when Maki pinned Aino with a German Suplex (10:24).
4. Himawari Unagi Debut Match: Saki Akai & YUMI defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Himawari Unagi when Akai submitted Unagi with the Foot Choke (8:39).
5. Special Single Match: Meiko Satomura defeated Reika Saiki with the Death Valley Bomb (14:49).
6. TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) defeated Shoko Nakajima & Riho when Sakazaki pinned Nakajima with the Magical Magical Girl Splash (17:13). *V3 for The Magical Sugar Rabbits.
7. TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) defeated Maki Itoh with the Crash Rabbit Heat (17:47). *V7 for Miyu Yamashita.
Determination by itself can only get you so far. Maki Itoh went into Korakuen Hall determined to beat Miyu Yamashita no matter the skill gap. She was determined to become the TOKYO Princess Of Princess Champion against all odds. Sadly it just couldn’t happen. The Inverted Crab Hold and Flying Big Head couldn’t beat Yamashita. Then when momentum switched sides and Yamashita started hitting the big moves it was only a matter of time until Itoh fell and wouldn’t get back up. Itoh had one last chance with a Jumping DDT counter for the Crash Rabbit Heat but Yamashita recovered. The champion then overwhelmed Itoh with Kicks and the Crash Rabbit Heat to come out on top.
Yamashita brought up on the microphone Ito’s goal of becoming the champion and bringing in a new era for Tokyo Joshi Pro. The problem is the Yamashita era is not even close to ending yet! Yamashita is the champion because she is strong. There are others in Tokyo Joshi who are getting stronger and one day she will lose the title to someone like them. Yamashita wants Itoh to be one of them. She stuck her hand out for a fist bump but Itoh gave her the middle finger in return. When Itoh left the ring Yamashita admitted she didn’t expect to face such a difficult struggle today. But she cannot afford to lose the championship now. As far as she is concerned Tokyo Joshi is not just Number 1, it’s the only one! Backstage Itoh was crying over the loss but isn’t feeling sorry for herself. She is weak now but she will be a champion! Even if it means starting all over from the beginning, she will not give up. She also thought headlining Korakuen isn’t that big of a deal. She wants Yamashita to stay as the champion so she can beat her for the belt.
The Magical Sugar Rabbits were put up against the strongest possible combination put together to beat them and they persevered. The Twin Cam Monsters of Shoko Nakajima & Riho did what they could including the Northern Lights Suplex and Somato. In the end Mizuki softened up Nakajima with the Cutie Special, leaving Yuka Sakazaki to finish her friend off with the Magical Magical Girl Splash. The Sugar Rabbits’ new goal is to keep the TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles all the way up to the 2020 Olympic Games. They think they can qualify for the Olympic wrestling events that way.
From the start Meiko Satomura wanted to fight the power of Reika Saiki. She was able to escape from the Tower Bridge by applying a Sleeper Hold onto Saiki. A Shining Wizard to the back of the head put Satomura in danger. But Saiki was unable to hit the Jackhammer. Satomura regained control and hit the Death Valley Driver for the win. Saiki called this match the most painful one of her career. She has a strong body and a strong mind but today she discovered she doesn’t have a strong heart. It seems that her pro wrestling life starts again here. Satomura on the other hand is paying notice to her emerging competition. She wants to wrestle against women like Saiki as many times as possible.
The debuting Himawari Unagi didn’t wait to face the biggest challenge available to her. She wanted to face off with Saki Akai straight away when their tag match began. Meanwhile Yuki Kamifuku berated YUMI for wrestling instead of doing her homework. YUMI got rid of Kamifuku with a Full Nelson Buster while Akai submitted Unagi with the Foot Choke. Unagi has two goals she wants to achieve as a wrestler. One, she wants to beat every Tokyo Joshi wrestler in single matches and two, she wants to be in somebody’s best match on the roster.
With the controversy surrounding her entry into Toyko Joshi now behind her, Natsumi Maki had her first match in the promotion along with Millie McKenzie. Together they defeated The Bakuretsu Sisters. McKenzie threw Nodoka Tenma aside with the German Suplex so Maki could focus on Yuki Aino. Maki used the ropes to flip backwards over Aino from a Reverse DDT position and pinned her with her own German Suplex. Maki said that winning her first match of the year inside Korakuen Hall is a sign she is going to have a good 2019.
Hyper Misao brought back the Queen Of U.S.A. match for herself and Yuna Manase to fight over. This time Veda Scott was invited to join in the fun. The goal of the match is to wear a US flag hat and do the Shoot Dance as seen in the music video for “USA” by DA PUMP. Scott was able to do the dance after hitting the Spear to her opponents.
The opening match was a big occasion for a lot of the girls involved. It was Marika Kobashi’s first match back in almost eight months. It was also the first time the entire Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) got to team together since getting their new ring personas. The rest (Mina Shirakawa, Haruna Neko & Pom Harajuku) all got to wrestle in Korakuen for the first time.
Rika Tatsumi sang her entrance theme to the audience after intermission.
The Bakuretsu Sisters get to wrestle in their hometown of Okayama on 14th October. Tokyo Joshi Pro will have a show based around Tenma & Aino’s return there.
