BASARA “BASARA 318 ~TAKAGARI 35~”, 12/10/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
??? Fans – Unannounced
-. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – B Block Final: Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida by Forfeit.
1. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – A Block Final: SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Shota Nakagawa when SAGAT pinned Nakagawa with the Gore Grind (11:40).
2. Chicharito Shoki defeated Daichi Kazato with an Inside Cradle (8:34).
3. 4-On-4 Elimination Match: Takumi Tsukamoto, Isami Kodaka, FUMA & Seiya Morohashi defeated Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino, Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano (19:57).
3a. Seiya Morohashi eliminated Takato Nakano by Ring Out (10:41).
3b. Takeru Inoue eliminated Seiya Morohashi with a Cradle (12:55).
3c. FUMA eliminated Masato Kamino with an Armbar (14:10).
3d. Tomoki Hatano eliminated FUMA with the Diving Guillotine Drop (14:21).
3e. Isami Kodaka eliminated Tomoki Hatano by Ring Out (16:05).
3f. Takeru Inoue eliminated Takumi Tsukamoto by Ring Out (17:08).
3g. Isami Kodaka eliminated Takeru Inoue with the Isamiashi Zan (19:57).
4. Tantan Menso defeated Judo Master with a Gedo Clutch (7:37).
5. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – Final: Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura defeated SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken when Shimomura pinned Kraken with the Swanton Bomb (14:01).
Earlier today at a Ganbare☆Pro show in the same venue, Shuichiro Katsumura talked about how potentially wrestling three matches in one day is a piece of cake for him. He ended up only having to wrestle in two. He and Daiki Shimomura received a bye into the IRON FIST Tag Tournament final because Ayato Yoshida suffered a left knee sprain at a 2AW show earlier in the day and had to be pulled from this show. The Super Family defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Shota Nakagawa in the only semi final to happen on the show. In the final SAGAT was able to break out of Katsumura’s Ninja Choke but Shimomura scored the win by pinning Lil’ Kraken with the Swanton Bomb.
After they were rewarded with the trophy, Shimomura thanked Katsumura for teaming with him on short notice before calling Aijin Tag to come into the ring. They made fun of the Iron Fist Tag Team Champions for getting eliminated in the first round and then asked when they are getting their title shot? Takato Nakano pointed out that Shimomura & Katsumura only reached the final because of a bye and it doesn’t sit right with him that they won the tournament without having to wrestle Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida first. He decided the title match will happen on 27th October and Masato Kamino promised they won’t lose to a pair of scrawny little runts!
Judo Master and Tantan Menso spent their match arguing whether or not tantanmen ramen is a Japanese dish or a foreign dish. It is based on a Chinese recipe but Menso claims it is a domestic product because the ingredients come from Chiba. Master tried to attack Menso with a pair of nunchucks but ended up getting pinned with a Gedo Clutch.
By being the sole survivor of the Elimination Tag Match, Isami Kodaka challenged Takumi Tsukamoto for the Union MAX Title. Kodaka explained that he usually isn’t very good with Elimination Tag stipulations so winning one today should definitely earn him a title shot. Tsukamoto accepted and also allowed Kodaka to choose the date and location of the match. Kodaka picked Takashimadaira Kumin Center, the venue they are in right now and the match will happen at BASARA’s next show here on 23rd November. Tsukamoto warned that he is incredibly strong right now and Kodaka is completely aware of that.
With Yoshida pulling out due to a sudden injury, 2AW sent over Chicharito Shoki to the show as a last minute replacement. BASARA decided to eliminate Kazato & Yoshida from the tournament so Kazato’s new match was a singles bout with Shoki. During the match Shoki started imitating Yoshida by finding different ways to bully Kazato. It reached a point where Kazato had to convince Shoki he wasn’t Yoshida while speaking as if Yoshida was no longer among them. The two wrestlers hugged and Shoki suddenly cradled Kazato for the three count. Both of them then encouraged the fans to chant for Yoshida.

BASARA “BASARA 317 ~UTAGE~”, 02/10/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Takumi Tsukamoto, Minoru Fujita & Yasu Urano defeated Gouma Ryu, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga when Tsukamoto submitted Ryu with a Crab Hold (8:46).
2. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – A Block Round 1: SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken defeated Judo Master & Muscle Master when Kraken pinned Judo with the Period. (11:23).
3. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – B Block Round 1: Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Isami Kodaka & FUMA when Shimomura pinned Kodaka with the Asai DDT (16:30).
4. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – A Block Round 1: Ryota Nakatsu & Shota Nakagawa defeated Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano when Nakagawa pinned Inoue with the Swanton Bomb (12:16).
5. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – B Block Round 1: Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida defeated Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Kazato pinned Nakano with the Rocket Punch Body Press (14:11).
The first round of this year’s IRON FIST Tag Tournament sees some big teams already getting eliminated including the reigning Iron Fist Tag Team Champions! That’s right, Aijin Tag lost to the odd couple team of Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida. The result is disastrous for Aijin Tag because Yoshida spent just as much time trying to fight Kazato as he did with them. He even put Kazato through a table and left him for Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino to pick up the scraps. However Kazato wouldn’t give up and seemed to finally win over Yoshida when he bit the bullet for one of the opponent’s double team moves. Kazato then took advantage of the confusing chaos to land the Rocket Punch Body Press on Nakano and pin him for the victory. Aijin Tag blame themselves for the loss and will watch the rest of the tournament from the sidelines to see who will challenge them for the tag titles next. Meanwhile Kazato thanks the fans for their support while Yoshida said the fans should be thanking him because he’s the only reason why he and Kazato won today.
Ryota Nakatsu & Shota Nakagawa joked that they used the power of baseball to defeat the Death Volleyball Club. In reality the admit they didn’t rely on a lot of teamwork between them and even suffered some friendly fire that could have cost them the match. They also think if Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano can be called a volleyball club then maybe Nakatsu & Nakagawa can call themselves The Walk Club.
On paper the team of Isami Kodaka & FUMA should be competitive enough to run the bracket but they’ve been knocked out in the opening round thanks to Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura. FUMA got caught up in Katsumura’s Ninja Choke while Shimomura used the Asai DDT on Kodaka to pin him. The winning team thought they were facing Aijin Tag in the next round and were surprised to find out that won’t be the case. They agreed not to get pulled into Kazato’s world of playing games and instead go for a quick victory. It will be a busy day for Katsumura because he will be wrestling at Ganbare☆Pro too.
The first match in the bracket had to be changed when Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Seiya Morohashi both fell ill with love sickness. The team replacing them were the masked men of Judo Master & Muscle Master. The team introduced themselves as the “Master Of Softness” and the “Master Of Hardness”. SAGAT responded by calling the two of them hard to deal with. He also seemed to recognise Muscle Master was really Morohashi judging by his body shape. SAGAT unmasked him and discovered that Morohashi had his face painted like The Great Muta underneath! Morohashi gave SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken some Dragon Screws then sprayed water instead of Poison Mist. The water missed and got Judo Master by mistake. Krake then gave Judo the Period. for the three count. The Super Family think they won the match but also believe the could have been just a fever dream.
The semi finals on 12th October will be SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken Vs Ryota Nakatsu & Shota Nakagawa and Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida.

CASPA Presents Falls Count Anywhere Survival 4 Way 8-Man Tag Match ~FACE FINAL~: MAO, KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI) defeated Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion and Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai and Yuki Ueno, To-y, Kazuma Sumi & Yuni (26:15).

6b. HARASHIMA eliminated Ilusion with the Somato (21:21).
6c. MAO eliminated Kasai with the Cannonball 450° (26:15).
Earlier today Tokyo Joshi Pro said its goodbyes to Shinjuku FACE. When the evening came around it was DDT’s turn to do the same. Their idea of a grand sendoff was to do a massive 4 Way Elimination match between four teams of four wrestlers each. Strange Love Connection, DAMNATION T.A and FANTÔMES DRAMATIC made up three of the teams while the fourth was an alliance of The 37KAMIINA & NωA Jr. Originally, Danshoku Dieno was meant to be on that team but he had to pull out on short notice due to illness. The match itself was held under Falls Count Anywhere rules and some really wanted to take that rule to the extreme. MAO and Chris Brookes tried to bring the fight out of the building out to the streets of Shinjuku but nearby security prevented them from making it far past the building’s entrance. When the dust settled, SLC were the last team standing with MAO scoring the final elimination.
A week ago Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki agreed to give paleyouth a shot at the KO-D Tag Team Titles as long as Yuya Koroku lost some weight. Aoki continued to give Koroku a hard time over his alleged heaviness in the match by targeting his midsection. However Koroku was there to make the save for Takeshi Masada when the match was on the line. Aoki took him out with a Topé Suicida but Miyawaki wasn’t able to put Masada away by himself. Instead Masada made a comeback and pinned Miyawaki with his finisher to win the titles! After the match Soma Takao appeared in the ring alongside his ROMANCE DAWN tag partner Shota. Today was Takao’s last match under contract to DDT and he is now a freelancer. That doesn’t mean DDT won’t stop booking him though. Since both members of ROMANCE DAWN are now freelancers they are hungrier than ever to challenge for the KO-D Tag Titles! Masada wasn’t sure about accepting the challenge but Koroku wants to avenge last week’s defeat to Takao so the title match will happen on 18th October.
A variation of the Lumberjack Match was used for the DDT Extreme Title bout. Shunma Katsumata and Ryota Nakatsu brought along their own lumberjacks who were allowed to attack the opponent should he be knocked out of the ring. Katsumata had Kazuma Sumi, Yuni and Yuki Ishida while Nakatsu brought along Takumi Tsukamoto and Masato Kamino from BASARA. The lumberjacks carried both wrestlers on their shoulders for a “cavalry” fight at ringside at one point. Back in the ring, Nakatsu grabbed hold of Katsumata for Kamino to hit with a Lariat along the ring apron but Katsumata ducked and Nakatsu got him instead. Katsumata then capitalized with a German Suplex to pin Nakatsu and remain the champion. Katsumata then decided to nominate Yuki Ueno as his next challenger for Sumo Hall on 3rd November! They just fought for Katsumata’s 10th Anniversary match and he does not want to wait until the 20th Anniversary to wrestle him again. Ueno refused at first but he was just joking. He accepted the challenge and said it is not just so he can wrestle his friend again. He also wants to show everyone he can do entertaining Extreme Title matches too.
Today was also Gota Ihashi’s final appearance under a DDT contract before going freelance. Unlike Takao, he did not find a way to still get a title shot or other further DDT bookings in the short term. But he did get to say goodbye along with Takao and thank everyone for supporting him over the last 17 years.
Due to Dieno’s absence, Sumi took his spot in the main event and Tomomitsu Matsunaga filled in for Sumi in the dark match. Also at the end of the show To-y put on a pair of Danshoku tights so Dieno could have some kind of presence for DDT’s final Shinjuku FACE show.
Everyone gathered together at the end of the show to say farewell to Shinjuku FACE. Sanshiro Takagi said DDT has been indebted to the venue for 21 years and they were never reprimanded for anything they did here. He’s certain nothing they did today would get them in trouble too. No other venue treated DDT so generously. With that being said, Daisuke Sasaki broke off a piece of one of the walls with the intention of auctioning it off for 200 million yen. If he makes that much he’ll use the money to build a new Shinjuku FACE by himself.

Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Isami Kodaka defeated Sentaro Motojima with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (9:12).

4. Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Yasu Urano defeated Takeru Inoue, Tomoki Hatano & Hajime when SAGAT pinned Inoue with the Lariat (15:07).
5. Ryota Nakatsu & Lil’ Kraken defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura when Nakatsu pinned Shimomura with the V Slider (13:15).
Pretty soon BASARA will be saying goodbye to Shinjuku FACE and after today Ryota Nakatsu feels like he has nothing left to say to Takumi Tsukamoto. The two of them are ready to fight each other for the Union MAX Title on 23rd September so they decided to shake each other’s hand after the match rather than talk up the title bout. Lil’ Kraken was allowed to close out the show instead and he talked about all of the wonderful footage he’s watched of the various wrestling shows that took place in Shinjuku FACE recently. They’re all great promotions but if you ask Kraken, BASARA is the best one! Backstage Nakatsu talked about being the first wrestler to walk down to the ring in Shinjuku FACE for the inaugural BASARA show. It moves him that over a decade later he became president of the company and will headline BASARA’s final show in the venue. But it will mean nothing to him if he cannot beat Tsukamoto for the MAX Title. Tsukamoto said he knows Nakatsu inside out and vice versa. The match will all come down to whether or not Tsukamoto can figure out how to beat Nakatsu in time. However the gameplan he has in mind is to just fight Nakatsu head on.
Aijin Tag have the advantage over the Death Volleyball Club going into the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles match later this month. Both Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino agreed that their challengers were let down by their third partner Hajime today. They think he was nothing more than a benchwarmer when Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano needed more than that to help them. Nakano wants Death Volleyball Club to remember they are in a wrestling ring but Kamino reminded him that the Club likes to treat the top rope like it is a volleyball net. Nakano doesn’t get that at all and does not want to lose to that team. Hateno said his team lost a set today but in volleyball losing a set does not mean you lost the match. He believes his teamwork with Inoue worked perfectly and next time they’re going to score 25 points to win the Iron Fist Tag Titles! But first they’re going to focus on pro wrestling training in the lead up to the match because they’ve already got the volleyball side of things sorted.
Before Match #3 could begin, SAGAT got on the microphone and pre-emptively accused Gouma Ryu of plotting to interfere in the action. Ryu admitted he would so SAGAT demanded he be added to the match proper. Banana Senga agreed to swap places with Ryu so he ended up becoming the manager who interfered in the match. The referee refused to count the pinfall for Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi after that so more changes were made. Senga agreed to wrestle in the match again but now Minoru Fujita complained about the two sides being misaligned. That somehow ended up with the match becoming Senga Vs SAGAT with everyone else acting as a manager for someone. SAGAT got fed up and demanded everyone be part of the match as a wrestler. Fujita was supposed to be on SAGAT’s team but he decided to join the other side so SAGAT was now fighting everybody else all by himself. Ryu tried to attack him with his law book but SAGAT redirected him into hitting Hiroshi by accident. SAGAT was then able to beat Ryu with the Gore Grind to win despite having the 4-on-1 disadvantage.

1. Masato Kamino defeated Takeru Inoue with the Lariat (8:25).
2. Banana Senga (w/ Gouma Ryu) Vs Antonio Honda ended in a No Contest (8:25).
3. 4 Way Tag Match: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Tsutomu Oosugi Vs Daichi Kazato & Seiya Morohashi Vs Takato Nakano & Yasu Urano Vs Lil’ Kraken & Minoru Fujita ended in a Draw when Hiroshi and Kazato pinned each other with a simultaneous Backslide Pin, Kraken and Morohashi pinned each other with a simultaneous Backslide Pin, Nakano and Fujita pinned each other with a simultaneous Backslide Pin and Oosugi and Urano pinned each other with a simultaneous Backslide Pin (9:02).
4. Isami Kodaka & FUMA defeated Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT when FUMA submitted SAGAT with an Armbar (13:25).
5. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) defeated Daiki Shimomura with the Dragon Kicker (16:54).
*V1 for Takumi Tsukamoto.
With Daiki Shimomura now taken care of, Takumi Tsukamoto can move on to focus on defending the Union MAX Title against Ryota Nakatsu on 23rd September. That show will be the last time BASARA will be inside Shinjuku FACE and it will be part of the opening day of the Shinjuku FACE Countdown Series. Nakatsu describes the upcoming title match as Tsukamoto’s big mountain facing against Nakatsu’s vast ocean. Tsukamoto claimed he was an island so both the mountains and the sea belong to him. Nakatsu disagrees because Tsukamoto only used the “mountains” to beat Shuji Ishikawa. Tsukamoto admitted Nakatsu has a point but at Shinjuku FACE next month he will show him there is a bigger side to him.
Match #2 was confusing from the beginning as Antonio Honda walked to the ring dressed in Banana Senga’s gear and then Senga appeared wearing Honda’s outfit. Gouma Ryu was at ringside for the match and only noticed halfway through that the wrestlers had swapped personalities. One thing let to another and Gouma started making fun of both wrestlers for being bald. Suddenly the UWF theme began playing and the ring announcer Yoshiro Yabu came down to tell Ryu that baldness is hereditary. The three bald people all attacked Ryu with Bionic Elbows and Yabu pinned him with the Shining Wizard. The bald people all left the ring singing along to Antonio Inoki’s theme song and the referee called for a no contest.
Although Takeru Inoue lost to Masato Kamino in the opening match, he still wanted to fight Aijin Tag so he can get revenge for losing matches against both Kamino & Takato Nakano. He already has a partner in mind and it is somebody he has teamed with before. It is Tomoki Hatano from HEAT-UP and their team is the Death Volleyball Club! Kamino praised Inoue for showing spirit but Inoue took that to mean the match will also be for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles! Kamino tried to correct him that it wasn’t but Inoue wouldn’t listen and left ringside. Kamino later explained what happened to Nakano and Nakano also came to the conclusion that Kamino had accepted a challenge for the titles so they will have to go through with it. They want to set the record for most title defences anyway and will set up the bout for 23rd September.

6. KING OF DRUNK 2026 ~August Basho~: Yuki Ueno & Chris Brookes Vs Kazuki Hirata & Hinata Kasai
It’s nice of DDT to finally be more considerate towards the non-alcoholic wrestlers on the roster during Beer Garden shows. The tee-total wrestlers are getting a match for themselves attached to the KING OF DRUNK series, even if some of the participants don’t drink only because they aren’t allowed to yet.
Time is ticking away for the Anytime Anywhere Anytime Anywhere Gauntlet to be used. If KANON waits too long it may end up becoming too late to use it. While he has that to worry about, he will also have to defend it against Antonio Honda.

5. DDT Extreme Title: Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Kumadori
6. DDT Universal Title: Ryusuke Taguchi (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki
7. KO-D Openweight Title: MAO (c) Vs Daichi Sato
The upcoming Korakuen Hall show has some changes, the most important of which applies to the KO-D Tag Team Titles bout. Rukiya has been diagnosed with acute pharyngitis and acute tonsillitis so DDT has pulled him from their shows up until early September. That means his title match with Jun Akiyama against Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki has to be cancelled. In response to this announcement, both Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata have offered to step in on short notice on behalf of Rukiya because he recently passed the audition to join the DDT Variety Team (without ever taking part because he is ill) and become their new ace (which he might be completely unaware of). Dieno has even upped the ante by claiming the Variety Team will disband if they lose! Hirata also happens to be fishing buddies with Rukiya away from wrestling so he is motivated to catch a belt-sized trophy for his buddy.
The new tag title match has a knock on effect on the rest of the card beneath it. Jun Akiyama will now be taking part in a different tag match, teaming up with Fuminori Abe. That means Abe is no longer involved in the Smile Squash 8-Man Tag match built around Soma Takao. Abe’s spot is now taken up by Kazuma Sumi making his team now an all D GENERATIONS affair. Viento Levante gets bumped out of the dark match to take Sumi’s place in the 3 Way trios match and Tomomitsu Matsunaga is added to the dark match to make everything look neat and tidy.

BASARA “BASARA 313 ~SUPER BRILLIANCE~”, 02/08/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. FUMA, Ryuichi Sekine & Seiya Morohashi defeated Daiki Shimomura, Takeru Inoue & Yasu Urano when FUMA pinned Inoue with the Atomic Bomb (11:32).
2. Grace Project Presents – 3-Way 6-Man Tag Match: SAGAT, Lil’ Kraken & Minoru Fujita defeated Captain Grace, Yusaku Ito & Violento Jack and Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (w/ Gouma Ryu) when SAGAT pinned Hiroshi with the Dynamic Bomb (9:16).
3. Ayato Yoshida defeated Daichi Kazato with the Leg Clutch Back Drop (12:39).
4. Dosukoi no Tsudoi Presents: Ryota Nakatsu defeated Shunma Katsumata with the V Slider (13:58).
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) defeated Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto when Nakano pinned Kodaka with the Takagari (15:15).
*V5 for Aijin Tag.
6. Union MAX Title – Clutch Supporters Association Presents: Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Shuji Ishikawa (c) with the Zudon (18:41).
*Shuji Ishikawa fails in V5. Takumi Tsukamoto becomes the 25th Union MAX Champion!
After eight months the Union MAX Title is now back around the waist of a BASARA wrestler. Takumi Tsukamoto kicked out of the Giant Driver and went on to pin Shuji Ishikawa with the Zudon to cause the title change. There were no hard feelings over the result and Ishikawa wrapped the title around Tsukamoto after the match. The new champion said when he stepped into the ring today it felt like his opponent was 4 metres tall but a real man always wants to hunt the big ones. Tsukamoto told Ishikawa he was the first person he ever had a Lighttube Death Match with and today he is happy to beat him in an important Korakuen Hall main event. He also thanked him for doing his part to make BASARA more exciting over the last year.
Tsukamoto invited the rest of the BASARA locker room into the ring for the closing speech. Ryota Nakatsu brought up the upcoming closure of Shinjuku FACE next month and reminded everyone the venue held BASARA’s first show ten years ago. He challenged Tsukamoto for the MAX Title at BASARA’s final show in Shinjuku FACE on 23rd September. However, Daiki Shimomura interrupted him and said that date is still a while away. He brought up how he was the only person to beat Tsukamoto in Tsukamoto’s 7-Match Trial last month so he should be getting a title shot first. Tsukamoto agreed to put the MAX Title on the line against Shimomura in Shin-Kiba 1st RING on 21st August. The winner and therefore the champion will then go on to defend the title against Nakatsu at September’s Shinjuku FACE show.
Aijin Tag are marching on towards their goal of breaking the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles record for most defences. They are now at five wins after beating Yankee Two Kenji. The win came from Masato Kamino giving Isami Kodaka a Lariat before Kodaka could lift up Takato Nakano for a Power Bomb. Then while Kamino took care of Yuko Miyamoto, Nakano climbed the top turnbuckle and hit the Takagari on Kodaka for the three count. Kamino called it a decisive win which means Aijin Tag has now surpassed Yankee Two Kenji! Miyamoto admitted the goal he and Kodaka put forth today was quite high for them to reach. They’re both becoming old men but they are still going out there because they are strong.
Former rivals and classmates from the DNA days met each other again when Nakatsu took on Shunma Katsumata. Since this match was happening in BASARA that meant Katsumata’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet was not on the line (the rule was changed to being DDT exclusive a few years ago). The match came close to ending in a Double Knockout but they both got back up to continue fighting until Nakatsu won by using the V Slider. Nakatsu later said he was really grateful that Katsumata wrestled here today given that he is also booked for a DDT show in Osaka later this evening. He thinks it was fun to have two people who have worked so hard in the last ten years clash against each other.

BASARA “BASARA 312 ~UTAGE~”, 24/07/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Ali Najima defeated Takeru Inoue with a Crab Hold (9:10).
2. Daiki Shimomura & Kota Sekifuda defeated Lil’ Kraken & Yuki Kanzaki when Shimomura pinned Kraken with the Swanton Bomb (15:02).
3. FUMA defeated SAGAT with a Chickenwing Arm Lock (10:01).
4. Ryota Nakatsu defeated Thanomsak Toba with a Rear Naked Choke (7:58).
5. Isami Kodaka, Yuko Miyamoto & Shuji Ishikawa defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Miyamoto pinned Nakano with the Moonsault Press (16:22).
20 years of connective bonds and experience between Shuji Ishikawa, Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto was the difference maker in today’s BASARA main event. While the result focuses more on Yankee Two Kenju beating Aijin Tag, it was Ishikawa who got on the microphone afterwards to ask Takumi Tsukamoto thinks he really can climb the mountain and win the Union MAX Title? Tsukamoto said he can do it but Ishikawa warned that Tsukamoto will feel the pain to the fullest on 2nd August. Isami Kodaka then asked Aijin Tag if they really think they fought like champions today? Takato Nakano said the only reason why Kodaka is standing out right now is because Yuko Miyamoto is with him. Kodaka claimed that even though he is a BASARA wrestler, on 2nd August he will be wrestling like an outsider with Miyamoto.
Ryota Nakatsu called his match with Thanomsak Toba a warm up for the Shunma Katsumata bout on 2nd August. With the Korakuen Hall show coming up, Nakatsu spoke to media after the show and talked about last summer’s BASARA show at Korakuen. That was when BASARA management went through a change and while they were worried about the state of the company, they ended up drawing their largest crowd in history. This year Nakatsu thinks his hunger for success has diminished a little and the company still isn’t stable yet but everyone there is giving it their all. He won’t know how the Korakuen show will go until he sees the results of everyone’s hard work.

BASARA “BASARA 309 ~UTAGE~”, 23/06/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament Block A – Semi Final: Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Daiki Shimomura with a Spinning Cradle (5:44).
2. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament Block B – Semi Final: Lil’ Kraken defeated FUMA with the Period. (8:03).
3. Isami Kodaka, SAGAT & Minoru Fujita defeated Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Takeru Inoue when Kodaka pinned Kamino with a Modified Cradle (11:33).
4. 3 Vs 4 Vs 2 Tag Match: Ryota Nakatsu, Daichi Kazato & Seiya Morohashi defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga& Gouma Ryu and Shuji Ishikawa & Yasu Urano when Nakatsu submitted Ryu with an Armbar (7:25).
5. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament – Final: Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Lil’ Kraken with the Dragon Kicker (13:08).
Out of all the BASARA wrestlers who want to be the next challenger for Shuji Ishikawa, it is Takumi Tsukamoto who is the last one standing. He used Daiki Shimomura’s Hurricanrana against him to get a three count and advance to the final. Meeting him there was Lil’ Kraken who scored an upset win over FUMA earlier in the show. Tsukamoto beat him down and almost won by countout but Kraken made a last gasp comeback. That wasn’t enough though and Tsukamoto put him away with the Dragon Kicker to win the tournament. He will now face Ishikawa for the Union MAX Title on 2nd August. He heard that Ishikawa wants to remain champion for ten years Tsukamoto will not allow that to happen because that would mean Ishikawa is champion until he’s 60!
Isami Kodaka got to beat his recent string of bad results in BASARA although he was in a tired heap by the end of his match. He got to pin Masato Kamino by dodging his Lariat and then cradling him for the three count. Kamino was pissed off to lose to someone that was pretty much beaten, so much so that Takato Nakano joked he was lying dead on the mat. Kodaka said there is nothing wrong with collapsing after a match and there is nothing wrong about getting old either. After all, he thought Takato & Kamino were both young and here they are already turned 30. He then announced he invited a friend to come to the 2nd August show and the two of them would like to fight Aijin Tag for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles. Kodaka’s partner is going to be Yuko Miyamoto! Aijin Tag accepted the challenge because it will be their chance to surpass Yankee Two Kenju!
The 3 Way Trios match was changed into a irregular 3 Way Match because of Gouma Ryu. He decided to team with the other members of WizRYU instead of Shuji Ishikawa & Yasu Urano. So the match ended up being between one team of three wrestlers, one team of four wrestlers and one team of two wrestlers.
The 2nd August show will be at Korakuen Hall and Ryota Nakatsu revealed he is trying to put together a special match with an outside wrestler. BASARA have already decided which wrestler they want to appear but have not made an offer to them yet. But according to Nakatsu it is somebody he has not wrestled many singles matches against and he would consider this person to be a rival of his.
