7. D GENERATIONS CUP 2025 – Final: Takeshi Masada Vs Yuya Koroku

A press conference was held by DDT today to promote the D GENERATIONS CUP final. It was there when Takeshi Masada and Yuya Koroku were told that the final is going to main event Korakuen Hall! The surprise completely threw Masada off guard because up until now he had everything calculated and going to plan. The final being moved to the main event wasn’t part of those calculations. He tried to play it cool and still thinks he will win and move on to challenge Chris Brookes for the KO-D Openweight Title. Koroku does not care who the KO-D Champion will be if he wins the final and gets the title shot instead.

Super Sasadango Machine takes Iino’s place in the Pheromones reunion match. That means the 3 Way Match he was originally booked for is now just Kazuki Hirata against Antonio Honda.

Daisy Monkey are going to explode! One of the other mainstay tag teams in Tokyo Joshi Pro have an important match going on too. Suzume and Arisu Endo will be facing each other for the International Princess Title!

A match two and a half years in the making will finally happen. Willow Nightingale was supposed to face Miu Watanabe one on one back at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’22” but travel issues cancelled her tour. While she eventually did get to wrestle in Japan with TJPW, the singles match with Watanabe never happened. It’s been a long wait but it’s finally going to take place next month!

BASARA “BASARA 270 ~SOUEN~” Results

February 10, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 270 ~SOUEN~”, 10/02/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takumi Tsukamoto & Yasu Urano defeated Daichi Kazato & Tsutomu Oosugi when Tsukamoto pinned Kazato after an Moroashigari Otoshi (10:22).
2. Turnabout Pro Wrestling Trial: Lil’ Kraken defeated Gouma Ryu and Banana Senga when Kraken pinned Ryu with La Bufadora (9:50).
3. SAGAT & Ryota Nakatsu defeated Munetatsu Nakamura & Shota Kawakami when Nakatsu pinned Kawakami with the V Slider (10:40).
4. Isami Kodaka, Ryuichi Sekine & Daiki Shimomura defeated FUMA, KUBITO & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi when Sekine submitted Hiroshi with the Let’s Combine (14:06).
5. Union MAX Title: Masato Kamino (c) defeated Takato Nakano with the Lariat (18:39).
*V1 for Masato Kamino.

Masato Kamino won the Aijin Tag battle against Takato Nakano to remain the Union MAX Champion. Nakano accepted defeat and will move to the back of the line. In the meantime he wants to see Kamino become even stronger to lead BASARA forward. They can also start teaming up again because it’s been a while since Aijin Tag last had a tag match together. Ryota Nakatsu then climbed into the ring. He praised Kamino for his victory but can also sense just how much Kamino loves himself. It’s enough to overshadow his love for BASARA and the MAX Title. Nakatsu however thinks his own love for BASARA and the MAX Title is clear to see so he wants the next title shot. Kamino accepted the challenge and the match will happen on 2nd March.

Today was the final match of Sento Minzoku as a unit. It was a 6-Man Tag match with the three active members all teaming together while Minoru Fujita was in their corner at ringside. After they beat Asian Kung Fu Revolution, all four members posed for the fans, laid their towels down on the canvas and all removed their monkey tails to place on top of the towels. Isami Kodaka then officially declared Sento Minzoku has disbanded. Backstage he said his desire to promote BASARA has not changed and he will continue to find ways to make it more exciting. Ryuichi Sekine said because he had reliable partners looking over him he was able to do whatever he wanted during his time in the unit. He will use that experience to step up in the future. Daiki Shimomura wonders if he would have been able to grow as he did if he never joined the unit and worn the tail. He thanked the others for teaching him so much. Fujita felt like he was able to become a part of BASARA thanks to Sento Minzoku. The unit disbanding does not mean he will be leaving BASARA. He’ll be back from his break eventually.

BASARA “BASARA 267 ~9TH ANNIVERSARY BOX OFFICE~” Results

January 21, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 267 ~9TH ANNIVERSARY BOX OFFICE~”, 21/01/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Daiki Shimomura defeated Shota Kawakami with a Half Crab Hold (7:29).
2. Takato Nakano & Lil’ Kraken defeated Yasu Urano & Banana Senga when Nakano pinned Urano with the Takagari (12:15).
3. Ryota Nakatsu & Masato Kamino defeated Daisuke Sekimoto & Kuma Arashi when Nakatsu pinned Arashi with a Jackknife Pin (19:06).
4. Inaugural Rumble: Ryuichi Sekine defeated Daichi Kazato by Ring Out (24:21).
Order Of Elimination: Gouma Ryu, Gouma Ryu, Isami Kodaka, Tsutomu Oosugi, KUBITO, SAGAT, Gouma Ryu, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Takumi Tsukamoto, FUMA and Daichi Kazato.

Look at how fast time flies. Today is BASARA’s 9th anniversary of their launch and they celebrated by holding a Rumble match with nostalgic elements included. Daichi Kazato wore the costume he wrestled in nine years ago, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi showed up as Hiroshi Fukuda again in full USA gear plus a blonde wig, FUMA started acting like a heavy metal rocker again and Gouma Ryu kept getting eliminated over and over. Ryuichi Sekine was the last man standing and he told everyone how lucky he felt today. He also felt touched fighting with FUMA again and suggested they team up more often. In fact, the two of them should go challenge Astronauts for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles! FUMA was still feeling the heavy metal energy and accepted the offer. He started having second thoughts later backstage when he found out Sekine is a fake heavy metal fan but Sekine reminded him they still have a bond together because they are both farmers.

Masato Kamino wasn’t satisfied with his team winning today’s match. He and Ryota Nakatsu were able to beat Daisuke Sekimoto & Kuma Arashi but that’s only because Arashi missed Nakatsu with the Diving Senton and was then accidentally hit by a Lariat from Sekimoto. Nakatsu ended up pinning Arashi with a Jackknife Pin. Kamino had wanted himself to get a definitive win against either opponent and that didn’t happen.

The injured Takeru Inoue was in attendance to greet the fans at the start of the show and apologize for being unable to compete today. Isami Kodaka later pointed out Inoue must have only been 10 years old when BASARA was created. Kodaka also said he wants BASARA to be more fun for the wrestlers because if they’re not enjoying it, then the fans won’t either. Looking back Kodaka said BASARA struggled to survive during the Covid-19 pandemic so the company cannot take the future for granted.

Title Matches Added To DDT Korakuen, GanJo X Kitsune, Grand Princess Main Event

January 14, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 267 ~HIEN~”, 21/01/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Inaugural Rumble: Isami Kodaka Vs Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Ryuichi Sekine Vs FUMA Vs KUBITO Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Daichi Kazato Vs SAGAT Vs Gouma Ryu Vs Tsutomu Oosugi
2. Daiki Shimomura Vs Takeru Inoue
3. Takato Nakano & Lil’ Kraken Vs Yasu Urano & Banana Senga
4. Ryota Nakatsu & Masato Kamino Vs Daisuke Sekimoto & Kuma Arashi

There are two strong opponents who Masato Kamino lost to in singles matches last year that he wants to fight again. They are Daisuke Sekimoto & Kuma Arashi. Kamino wants to settle the score in one match so he asked BASARA to bring them back together as a tag team for him to fight. Kamino also decided he won’t team with Takato Nakano because they will soon fight each other for the Union MAX Title. Instead, Ryota Nakatsu will be Kamino’s partner for this match.

It’s Royal Rumble season so add BASARA to the growing list of companies that are doing their own version of the match this year.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 19: INVESTIGATION OF A CITIZEN ABOVE SUSPICION”, 21/01/2025
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

2. Special Single Match: Ram Kaichow Vs Chris Brookes

Trust Baka Gaijin + Friends to still come up with first time matchups with a limited size roster. Chris Brookes and Ram Kaichow have fought each other plenty of times before in multi-person matches. This will be their first one on one matchup together.

DDT “NEW YEAR, NEW HERO. 2025 ~A NEW STORY BEGINS~”, 26/01/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title: Danshoku Dieno (c) Vs Gorgeous Matsuno
2. DDT Universal Title: Gringo Loco (c) Vs Yuki Ueno
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

According to both DDT and Gringo Loco he has defended the DDT Universal Title twice in North America. One was in Canada for Demand Lucha and I cannot for the life of me find where or when the second one took place. For his third defence he is nominating Yuki Ueno because he stands out the most to Loco. It will be Loco’s first time defending the title in Japan.

Danshoku Dieno made the decision to defend the DDT Extreme Title against Gorgeous Matsuno because he does not know if they will ever get another chance to do the match. Matsuno is still known to the public for a public divorce he went through in the 1990s where he was accused by his wife at the time of abuse. The divorce was finalised but it was also ruled by the court that there was no evidence to support the accusation. Dieno only knows Matsuno through his wrestling career and feels the need to have a heart to heart match while he still holds the Extreme Title. Dieno also wants a contract signed that says no one will be responsible for anything that happens in the ring during the match.

In the main event Yuna Manase gets her rematch with MICHIKO with the Kitsune World Title once again on the line.

BASARA “BASARA 266 ~SOUEN~”, 10/01/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. SAGAT defeated Takeru Inoue with the Gore Grind (10:13).
2. FUMA defeated Ryuichi Sekine with the Jawbreaker (12:37).
3. Turnabout Pro Wrestling Trial: Minoru Fujita defeated Gouma Ryu and Banana Senga when Fujita pinned Ryu after a Double Kawazu-gake Otoshi (8:51).
4. 3 Way Tag Match – No Tag Rules: Daiki Shimomura & Tsutomu Oosugi defeated KUBITO & Daichi Kazato Yasu Urano & Judomaster when Shimomura pinned Kazato after a Standing Moonsault/Jackknife Pin Combo (10:04).
5. Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Lil’ Kraken defeated Isami Kodaka, Takumi Tsukamoto & Ryota Nakatsu when Kamino pinned Nakatsu with the Lariat (15:34).

After the main event Lil’ Kraken started a rap and was about to challenge Masato Kamino for the Union MAX Title. However Takato Nakano stopped Kraken with a Dropkick and decided to challenge Kamino instead! He sees Kamino currently has three indie championships (the other two are a TTT Indie Unified Six Man Tag Team Title and the Shinjuku Nichome ILNP Title) but the MAX Title is the only one he wants. Kamino said it will be a rare match where Aijin Tag fights each other. He will crush his partner because he is creating a new era and he’s not asking Nakano to follow him.

Backstage after the show Kamino said there are two wrestlers who beat him last year that he wants to get revenge on. So on 21st January he wants a match against Daisuke Sekimoto & Kuma Arashi! He’ll go through that match first and then have his title bout with Nakano on a later date.

Minoru Fujita is on a break from wrestling in BASARA but he was still called in for a Turnabout Pro Wrestling Trial. Banana Senga spent more time trying to speak like Kenny Omega and also wishing Tsutomu Oosugi a happy birthday than talking about the trial. He eventually accused Fujita of fraud because BASARA was still paying him during his time off. Fujita easily defeated Senga and Gouma Ryu to convince the ref/judge he is not guilty.

After the trial Isami Kodaka announced that Sento Minzoku is splitting up! The unit is disbanding in order to let Ryuichi Sekine fight more often without them as well as to help Daiki Shimomura’s future development. He and Fujita came to the decision on the car ride home after Fujita lost the MAX Title. Their last match as a group will be on 10th February.

FUMA told Sekine after their match that he woke up today at 5am to work on his farm before coming over to Shin-Kiba 1st RING. He’s proud to be a pro wrestler and asks if Sekine feels the same? He wants the two of them as part-time farmers to continue working hard in BASARA.

BASARA “BASARA 265 ~UTAGE~” Results

December 29, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 265 ~UTAGE~”, 29/12/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated SAGAT & Antonio Honda when Senga pinned SAGAT after the Shining Gongitsune Mistaken Attack from Honda (8:07).
2. Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Gouma Ryu with a Front High Kick (9:10).
3. Takato Nakano & Shota Kawakami defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Takeru Inoue when Nakano pinned Inoue with the Ken Katabami (13:15).
4. Isami Kodaka, Ryuichi Sekine & Daiki Shimomuta defeated FUMA, KUBITO & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi when Sekine submitted FUMA with the Let’s Combine (13:38).
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura (c) defeated Daichi Kazato & Lil’ Kraken when Abe pinned Kazato after the Period. Misfire from Kraken (13:32).
*V4 for Astronauts.
6. Union MAX Title: Masato Kamino defeated Minoru Fujita (c) with the Lariat (18:32).
*Minoru Fujita fails in V8. Masato Kamino becomes the 22nd Union MAX Champion!

BASARA in 2024 began with Minoru Fujita winning the Union MAX Title and ends with him losing it. Masato Kamino was able to kick out after taking the SAYONARA twice and hit the Lariat only for Fujita to kick out of that too. Kamino fought hard to hit another Lariat and when he finally did he was able to win the match with it. He wished Fujita to rest well for the great job he did as champion and thanked the fans for supporting BASARA this year. Ten years ago in Chiba he never imagined he would ever win a singles championship and now he is the man on top for a company. He will treat the belt like it is a baton Fujita passed over to him and will not give it up easily. He then nominated his tag partner Takato Nakano to be his first challenger.

Some miscommunication at the worst time cost Daichi Kazato & Lil’ Kraken their chance to become the new Iron Fist Tag Team Champions. Kazato was switching positions back and forth with Fuminori Abe and they paused in front of Lil’ Kraken. Abe was in front so Kraken charged in to use his finisher called the Period. Abe ducked the move and Kazato took the blow, causing both of them to fall back with Abe landing on top for the pinfall. At least there is no anger between Kazato & Kraken over what happened. Abe thinks Kazato has evolved as a wrestler while Takuya Nomura thinks he is brainwashing everyone. Astronauts also noticed there were some foreign fans in attendance today. Abe wonders what those fans think BASARA wrestling is like compared to what they will see in the Tokyo Dome next week?

The match between Sento Minzoku and Asian Kung-Fu Generation was heated from the get go and continued after the match ended. Both sides continued fighting after the finish and had to be kept apart.

There was also continued fighting between Takeru Inoue and Shota Kawakami after Match #3. Both are rookies who debuted this year and wanted to see who was better. They started trading Elbow Strikes after the match and Inoue then chased Kawakami away from ringside.

Takumi Tsukamoto purposely dressed up like an office worker to throw shade at Gouma Ryu. He said before their match that Ryu is only good for doing trials. Ryu disagreed and wanted to prove he can wrestle too. Then when Tsukamoto took a breather outside the ring during the match Ryu taunted him for running away from pro wrestling. Tsukamoto got back in to finish the match and ended up winning with a couple of Front High Kicks. Ryu kicked out of the first one at the one count but was beaten with the second kick.

5. 4 Vs 4 Elimination Match: Isami Kodaka, Ryuichi Sekine, Daiki Shimomura & Minoru Fujita defeated FUMA, KUBITO, Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (24:42).
5a. Masato Kamino eliminated Isami Kodaka after the Aijin Itakedaka (14:10).
5b. Daiki Shimomura eliminated KUBITO by Ring Out (16:14).
5c. Masato Kamino eliminated Daiki Shimomura by Ring Out (19:22).

5e. Ryuichi Sekine and FUMA eliminated each other by Double Ring Out (22:40).
5f. Minoru Fujita eliminated Masato Kamino with the Modified Samson Clutch (24:42).

In the big warm up for the Union MAX Title bout on 29th December, Minoru Fujita scored the pin on Masato Kamino to win the Elimination Tag. Fujita went into the match with his right hand bandaged for injury but he was still able to catch Kamino in the Samson Clutch for the three count. He said he was happy to stop Kamino’s momentum and is certain have 2024 finish completely as year of Minoru Fujita. He then asked Kamino to promise him their title match will be one that burns from their hearts so they can cap off an unforgettable year. Kamino told him of course it will be like that.

Ryuichi Sekine thanked everyone for their congratulations to the news that he and Nodoka Tenma recently had their first child. He said he will still do his best in the ring and everyone should support BASARA.

Daichi Kazato & Lil’ Kraken called out Fuminori Abe because they want to challenge Astronauts for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles on the last BASARA show of the year. Ayato Yoshida was still nearby when the challenge was made so he asked Kazato if he could challenge him if he wins the belts? He doesn’t believe Kazato & Kraken are going to win but he’ll be rooting for them.

Everyone in Match #4 had beaten each other up so much that all four of them couldn’t answer a 10 Count. The match was ruled a draw but when everyone recovered and got back up, Kosuke Sato continued to throw Dropkicks at whoever was in his way.

The 3 Way Match was mostly SAGAT and Yasu Urano fighting each other because Gouma Ryu was too tired from his day job to wrestle properly. Ryu tried to act as the second referee but started arguing with the real one over who’s in charge. They came to an understanding though and the ref fast counted Ryu pinning SAGAT.
