Tomorrow’s match order for the final DDT show in Korakuen Hall for 2025 has been decided on. Takeshi Masada has not done a good job convincing fans he has a chance of beating Yuki Ueno for the KO-D Openweight Title. I don’t think Christmas miracles can work that hard either.

Not long after the dust settles from Watanabe Vs Suzume, a new challenger will be decided for the Princess Title. The match format and number of participants has not been decided yet.

1. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs X
What has been confirmed is the next No. 1 Contender will get their title match at Sumo Hall for “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”! Watanabe’s current goal is to keep her title reign lasting long enough for her to be the defending champion at Ryogoku. If she gets past Suzume she will then be all clear to make that dream come true.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE IN BANGKOK”, 13/12/2025
The Circus Studio, G Village, Bangkok, Thailand
327 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House
1. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Uta Takami with the Famouser (7:57).
2. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Yuki Arai & Shino Suzuki when Suzume pinned Suzuki with the Ring A Bell (11:08).
3. MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) defeated Alexis Lee with the Diving Senton (9:05).
*V6 for Shoko Nakajima.
4. IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami (c) defeated Raku & Pom Harajuku when Yamashita pinned Raku with the Skull Kick (14:27).
*V1 for Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami.
5. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) defeated Matcha with the Spinning Tear Drop (17:47).
*V3 for Miu Watanabe.
The last few years of Tokyo Joshi Pro and SETUP working together has all led to this, the first TJPW show to be held in Thailand! Such an important show needed an important match so Match, the current SETUP All Asia Women’s Champion challenged Miu Watanabe for the Princess Of Princess Title. The hometown challenger winning would lead to severe consequences for 4th January and rob that show of a main event title match but Watanabe took the match and won through in the end. A late pin after the Saito Suplex gave Watanabe enough recovery time to kick out. She was then able to block another Saito Suplex, hit Matcha with the Laserbeam strike and finish her off with the Spinning Tear Drop. She told Matcha after the match she is glad they got to show each other their love for pro wrestling in a place that Matcha holds so dear. While Matcha couldn’t win the title, she thinks today was a huge victory for the Thailand wrestling scene because this was the first all-women wrestling show to take place in Southeast Asia.
The connections between TJPW and SETUP also runs deep because a TJPW team currently hold one of SETUP’s championships. Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami were here to defend the IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles and their opponents were two TJPW wrestlers who have already made their mark in SETUP by being champions there in the past. Raku & Pom Harajuku got the jump on the champions at the start by using Raku’s nap trick, then Raku tried to suffocate Toribami with a pillow while Yamashita chased Harauku around ringside. Harajuku armed herself with boxing gloves so she could punch Yamashita but ended up bumping into Raku when they missed some attacks. Toribami knocked Harajuku away with a Shining Enzuigiri while Yamashita set Raku with the Skull Kick for the succesful defence. Toribami was thrilled because this was her first time defending a championship while Yamashita was relieved because she couldn’t predict what Raku & Harajuku would get up to. It’s complicated because on the one hand she doesn’t want to have another title match against them but on the other she thinks they should have a rematch back in Japan. Harajuku is disappointed because if her team won, she wanted to take the black title belt and Raku would get the red one.
The MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title was also defended on this show when Shoko Nakajima put the belt on the line against a regular name around these parts Alexis Lee. When it was clear that Nakajima had the upper hand in ability, Lee resorted to cheating. The referee Shivam was accidentally taken out by Nakajima’s Rider Kick and when Lee gave her the Sister Abigal, nobody was around to count it. Lee then grabbed the belt and hit Nakajima with it before hitting her No Lee Way finisher but Shivam’s slow recovery gave Nakajima enough breathing room to kick out at two. Nakajima then avoided the Sister Abigail to hit Lee with the 619 then followed it up with the Double Arm DDT and Diving Senton for the victory. Nakajima said she now has the right to go and wrestle in Lee’s home country of Singapore so next time they can go fight over there.
Shino Suzuki led the way in Match #2 by giving everyone else in the match a “tour” of Bangkok in the ring. She & Yuki Arai worked together to wear down Suzume but Arisu Endo was there to save her tag partner. Daisy Monkey then went ahead on the attack with Endo taking care of Arai so Suzume could pin Suzuki with the Ring A Bell.
The height difference of Yuki Kamifuku and Uta Takami was shown throughout the opening match. Kamifuku kept using Big Boots and other moves that relied on her long legs. Takami worked hard to try and avoid the Famouser but her own Koala Clutch was blocked so Kamifuku could win with her finisher anyway.
The show began with a performance from all four members of The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling). Also earlier in the day there was a SETUP show in the venue that featured Watanabe and Matcha signing their contracts for the title match.

Last month Daiki Shimomura got to face MJ2 for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles at a 2AW show. He and Lil’ Kraken lost the match and the champions have no interest in fighting him again despite his demand for another shot. However Shimomura will have Takumi Tsukamoto as his partner this time and he is the kind of wrestler Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda like to fight.

Another DDT throwback shows back for Super Japan’s next show. In the early 2000s Phantom Funakoshi wrestled in DDT using a masked gimmick called “Showa”. Now many years later Super Japan is debuting a “Showa” II who has inherited the gimmick alongside a new tag team partner named “Reiwa”. The two of them will be MIKAMI & Takashi Sasaki’s opponents.

Recently Chris Brookes and Shota got to hang out in Malaysia together and got to reminisce about Brookes coming to Japan back in 2020. Both have grown a lot since then and they are approaching six years of being friends so they’re going to have a match against each other to celebrate.
A masked wrestler from India named Tokyo Ganesha first appeared last year in Michinoku Pro for their signature Fukumen World League tournament. He has made a handful of appearances in both M-Pro and ChocoPro (oh, I wonder why?) since then and will next make his debut for Baka Gaijin + Friends. His opponent will be Princess Ram.
Mr. Bueno, MAO and Dark King Ueki will all be on the show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW X OCHA NORMA – OCHA PRO☆KORAKUEN”, 07/12/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
910 Fans – No Vacancy
1. HIMAWARI & Haru Kazashiro defeated Arisu Endo & Uta Takami when Kazashiro submitted Takami with the Izayoi (11:01).
2. Ryo Mizunami, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Mahiro Kiryu, Shino Suzuki & Chika Nanase when Mizunami pinned Nanase with the Spear (9:31).
3. Ochanor Mask & Kaya Toribami defeated Wakana Uehara & Ren Konatsu when Ochanor pinned Konatsu with La Ochastral Cradle (8:32).
4. OCHA Pro Seikigun Vs Coffee Breakers: Miyu Yamashita, Rika Tatsumi & Mifu Ashida defeated Hyper Misao, Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer when Tatsumi pinned Summer with the Missile Hip (11:45).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Mahiro Kiryu defeated Rika Tatsumi (c) by Pinfall (1:17 pm).
*Mahiro Kiryu becomes the 1,787th champion.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Natsume Nakayama defeated Mahiro Kiryu (c) after a Choke Hold from Rika Tatsumi (1:18 pm).
*Natsume Nakayama becomes the 1,788th champion.
5. Mizuki, Suzume & Yuki Arai defeated Miu Watanabe, Yuki Aino & Toga when Suzume pinned Toga with the Ring A Bell (16:37).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Ocha defeated Natsume Nakayama (c) by Submission (2:44 pm).
*Ocha becomes the 1,789th champion.
A crossing of idol worlds took place for Tokyo Joshi Pro’s final Korakuen Hall show for 2025. They collaborated with the group OCHA NORMA for a special one-off show mixing wrestling matches with an idol concert. For the matches, different members of OCHA NORMA would play a role whether it was as a ring announcer, a commentator or simply to cheer on the wrestlers from ringside.
The show did still push forward towards 4th January. The main event had Miu Watanabe and Suzume cross paths again. Watanabe gave Suzume & Mizuki a Double Body Slam followed by the Double Giant Swing. Yuki Arai cut her off from doing the Canadian Backbreaker and Suzume wore her down to the point where she could do a low hanging Ring-A-Bell. Yuki Aino & Toga worked together to double team Suzume but Mizuki came in to give Watanabe the Whirling Candy. Suzume then singled out Toga to hit the Ring-A-Bell and win the match for her team. After the match Suzume said she is happy to see so many people’s love come together here, whether it is for OCHA NORMA or for pro wrestling. She promoted the 4th January show along with her match with Watanabe for the Princess Of Princess Title. Watanabe told Suzume they will meet here in Korakuen on 4th January to clash over what they love.
Tea is a strong concept that follows everything OCHA NORMA does but not everyone in TJPW are into that sort of stuff. There’s a group of wrestlers who think coffee is the superior drink and will fight to prove it! Hyper Misao, Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer joined forces to become the Coffee Breakers and promised to paint Korakuen Hall pitch black! They entered to the music from a Japanese coffee commercial then attacked the other team with coffee mugs. Misao also spat coffee into Rika Tatsumi’s face like it was the Poison Mist. However Misao also pulled out a spray can and accidentally blinded Kamifuku when Tatsumi ducked the attack. Tatsumi then sprayed all of the Coffee Breakers. Mifu Ashida threw Misao away with a German Suplex, Miyu Yamashita hit Kamifuku with the Skull Kick and Tatsumi finished off Summer with the Missile Hip.
With Tatsumi victorious the path was now clear for her to achieve her dream. For months now she has been winning and defending the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title just so she can give it as a gift to Natsume Nakayama, her favorite member of OCHA NORMA. After the match Tatsumi invited Nakayama into the ring and laid on the canvas with her eyes closed so she could be pinned. However Mahiro Kiryu entered the ring and pinned Tatsumi to win the title instead! When Tatsumi realised what happened, she got mad and choked Kiryu unconscious. She then invited Nakayama to pin Kiryu but she declined. Tatsumi wouldn’t take no for an answer though and she made Nakayama sit on Kiryu to pin her and become the new champion. Tatsumi’s dream came true and she hopes everyone took lots of cute pictures of them together with the belt.
A special guest from Mexico was booked from the show to make up for Shoko Nakajima being absent due to what was only described as “various circumstances”. Taking her place was Ochanor Mask and she made an odd first impression by deciding to dance instead of shaking her opponents’ hands before the match began. Wakana Uehara & Ren Konatsu didn’t know what to make of the Ocha Libre wrestling style and then things got even more odd when Konatsu accidentally unmasked Ochanor, possibly unveiling that it was really Shoko Nakajima all along! Ochanor tried to keep her face hidden and was still able to pin Konatsu before putting the mask back on in the hopes that no one noticed. Kaya Toribami was happy to win with her new Mexican friend but being a masked wrestler herself, she understands how scary a moment like that can be.
Ryo Mizunami was just as confused as the OCHA NORMA fans in attendance when her match began with Raku & Pom Harajuku taking a nap in the ring, causing their opponents to do the same thing. She woke Raku up and got attacked by her by mistake so the match could go ahead. Mizunami’s team eventually got on the same page and she was able to pin Chika Nanase with the Spear to win.
With a Princess Tag Team Titles shot coming up around the corner, Haru Kazashiro unveiled an upgraded version of her Arm Stretch submission hold. She can now set it up like a Codebreaker and then keep it applied in a way that looks like the Sol Naciente that Masato Yoshino from Dragon Gate used to do. The move that Kazashiro used is now called the Izayoi, which refers to the 16th night of the month that takes place after a full moon… Oh wait, there’s also something here that says it’s a Tokustatsu reference so that’s probably where she got the name from. Anyway, even though Arisu Endo took care of HIMAWARI and left the match up to Uta Takami, Kazashiro turned the tables and used the Izayoi to make Takami give up.
Midway through the show there was a special challenge that pitted TJPW against OCHA NORMA. It was an all out Rock Paper Scissors battle between the two sides. Haru Kazashiro and Pom Harajuku lost their games but Shino Suzuki saved the day for the TJPW team, winning the final game that was worth three points so TJPW ended up beating OCHA NORMA 3-2.
There were three musical performances held throughout the show in between the matches. OCHA NORMA performed for the majority of them but The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) took part in the opening segment. They played two of their own songs along with an OCHA NORMA cover that the actual OCHA NORMA then joined in for at the end.
Nakayama’s reign as the Iron Man champion ended not that long after the show had finished. She was approached by Mahiro Kiryu and Shino Suzuki backstage along with the referee Fumirin. Kiryu convinced Nakayama to give up the championship because Nakayama herself does not want to worry about defending the title. However when she declared she was giving up the title, Fumirin noticed she was holding a bottle of ocha tea next to the belt. Fumirin then decided that Nakayama had given up to the ocha tea which means Ocha is now the champion, not Kiryu!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STEP FORWARD ’25”, 29/11/2025
Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall
288 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House
1. Toga defeated Chika Nanase with the Rock Bottom (8:28).
2. Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Uta Takami & Ren Konatsu defeated Harajuku pinned Konatsu with the Pom de Justice (8:23).
3. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated Mizuki & Mifu Ashida when Aino pinned Ashida with the Venus DDT (10:40).
4. 3 Way Match: Hyper Misao defeated Yuki Arai and Mahiro Kiryu when Misao pinned Kiryu with La Magistral Cradle (8:04).
5. Arisu Endo defeated Shino Suzuki with the Ju no Okite (8:39).
6. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Kaya Toribami & Kira Summer when Kamifuku pinned Summer with the Famouser (11:28).
7. Miu Watanabe & Shoko Nakajima defeated Suzume & HIMAWARI when Nakajima pinned HIMAWARI with the Northern Lights Suplex (15:42).
Today’s victory was a given for Miu Watanabe & Shoko Nakajima because according to Nakajima they are Mega Double Champions when they team together. Watanabe taunted Suzume by holding up the Princess Of Princess Title for her to see after the match but she acknowledged how much of a “nimble bee” she is and is being careful not to get stung by her. The winning team also gave thanks to Osaka because today’s show is the last to be held in this part of Japan in 2025. Suzume did throw her support behind Watanabe for her Princess Title defence against Matcha in Thailand next month. She appreciates that Watanabe is not putting her own title reign on hold just because Suzume has the big title shot scheduled for 4th January. She believes in herself too and can see herself beating Watanabe to become the new champion in the new year.
A new tag team has been established and they are already gunning for the Princess Tag Team Titles. Right after Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro won their match, Kazashiro asked if they could become a proper tag team. She said she isn’t Nodoka Tenma or Ryo Mizunami but she wants to be by Aino’s side forever. Aino said she’s been waiting for Kazashiro to ask her and she needs to make a promise that they go wild in Tokyo Joshi Pro and both become stronger in the process. YukiHaru then reappeared at ringside after the Ober Eats match to challenge them for the Princess Tag Titles. While Yuki Kamifuku was in the middle of thinking about it, Wakana Uehara couldn’t contain her excitement at being challenged for the first time and quickly accepted it. Kamifuku then decided they should do the match on 4th January because Uehara will get to eat a lot of food during the New Year period, which means she will be at her strongest by the time the match takes place. She also warned Uehara not to accept a challenge like this on her own again.
Pom Harajuku spent a lot of her match holding her hand out like it was a gun and threatening to shoot her opponents with it.

The Princess Of Princess Title match buildup is getting more serious with the big guns now starting to appear. Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi are teaming up as Daydream again for the first time since July to give Suzume a big challenge ahead of the title match. Suzume isn’t teaming with Arisu Endo to reform Daisy Monkey though. Maybe that will happen down the line. Instead she is teaming with HIMAWARI.
Miyu Yamashita won’t be on the show because she is still on her European tour.

It’s been a while since Mecha MAO and Takagi Sanshirobo fought their epic mecha battles in front of everyone. Now a third mecha is entering the fight. The X in the The Great Baka Mecha Wars has been greatly hinted to be something in the form of Minoru Suzuki. The possibility of it brings my memories back to Suzuki’s infamous match with Mecha Mummy at a MUSCLE show where a Gotch-Style Piledriver into a shallow lake caused a massive explosion that destroyed Mecha Mummy while leaving Suzuki with a significant piece of technology embedded in his eye. Imagine thinking we would ever get a follow up to that ending 16 years later?

The two masked women are being paired together as a tag team. Surely Kaya Toribami will find something in common with the newcomer Ochanor Mask.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE IN BANGKOK”, 13/12/2025
The Circus Studio, G Village, Bangkok, Thailand
1. IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami (c) Vs Raku & Pom Harajuku
2. MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs Alexis Lee
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Matcha
Two more title matches are added to the Thailand show, one of which clears up a piece of reporting from Fightful’s paywall that ended up being unintentionally sloppy. Their Patreon page reported that MLW are expecting Shoko Nakajima to defend the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title in Asia again in the next coming months. The problem is they reported this just days after she had a title defence in Japan for Tokyo Joshi Pro and they clearly had no idea that had happened, so it came off as both a late slip as well as “No shit, Sherlock.” Now we see that the title defence being talked about is this match against Alexis Lee that is happening at TJPW’s Thailand show but again, Fightful’s never gave any detail like that so their reporting still comes off like nobody over there pays attention to the product (and continues my gripes over MLW news often being just glorified press releases). Considering part of their audience for a time thought Marigold closed down because they hadn’t heard anything about the company from the site since its first Sumo Hall event shows how bad their general Japan coverage is. Even their recent report that many of New Japan’s deals with their wrestlers no longer default to January every year is old news to the die hard fans.
The new IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Champions will hold their first defence of the titles in Thailand. Yamashita & Toribami’s opponents are two wrestlers who have held championships in SETUP before and even fought over it in TJPW. Do Raku & Pom Harajuku have it in them to win more gold in Southeast Asia?
There will also be a small scale SETUP show taking place the same afternoon before this show although I don’t know if anyone from TJPW will be on it.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW KAKUKAKU FESTIVAL PART 1 TEAM TJ”, 24/11/2025
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
173 Fans – No Vacancy
1. Kaya Toribami defeated Chika Nanase with the Bird Cage (8:05).
2. Hyper Misao defeated HIMAWARI with La Magistral Cradle (9:34).
3. Arisu Endo defeated Kira Summer with the Camel Clutch (9:27).
4. Miu Watanabe defeated Rika Tatsumi with the Tear Drop (13:18).
5. Yuki Kamifuku & Yuki Aino defeated Yuki Arai & Uta Takami when Aino pinned Takami with the Venus DDT (11:39).
An uncommon doubleheader held at Itabashi Green Hall today split the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster into two camps. The first show of the day featured wrestlers from “Team TJ“. It also happened to have all of Yuki Yuki Yuki taking part in the main event. Yuki Kamifuku & Yuki Aino got to team up as Double YUKI, leaving out Yuki Arai so she had to team with Uta Takami. At one point Double YUKI wound up switching bodies so Kamifuki wrestled like Aino and vice versa. When they turned back to normal, Kamifuku blamed Takami for causing it to happen. Kamifuku admitted after the match she lost track of what happened but learned the important lesson that you should love yourself because everyone is unique. Aino said it’s a miracle that there are so many Yuki’s in TJPW.
Mahiro Kiryu’s scheduled match with Rika Tatsumi was called off because Tatsumi was feeling unwell and couldn’t be at the show. Miu Watanabe was brought in to work double duty for the day, becoming Kiryu’s new opponent on the day show before moving on to wrestle again in the evening event. Both of them tried to imitate Tatsumi’s “Let’s Go!” Elbow Drop but both of them also missed the move. Kiryu tried to apologise over it while Watanabe stopped her. Kiryu then got angry because you never interrupt an apology and the two started arguing while kneeling to each other. When they went back to fighting, Watanabe’s knees became numb from the kneeling so Kiryu took her out of the ring and made her kneel on the floor in an attempt to count her out. Watanabe struggled but made it back into the ring at the 19 count. She recovered from the unusual leg work to win the match with the Tear Drop.
It’s been a busy week for HIMAWARI as she has been performing in a stage play when not wrestling in matches. Hyper Misao wanted to see HIMAWARI show off her talent and made her recite some of her lines from the play but it was just so she could roll her up from behind to try and get an early victory.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW KAKUKAKU FESTIVAL PART 2 TEAM PW”, 24/11/2025
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
190 Fans – Super No Vacancy
1. Raku defeated Ren Konatsu with the Front Neck Lock (7:33).
2. Wakana Uehara defeated Mifu Ashida with the Sushi Tornado (9:09).
3. Mizuki defeated Shino Suzuki with the Face Lock (10:34).
4. Shoko Nakajima defeated Pom Harajuku with the Northern Lights Suplex (11:58).
5. Miu Watanabe & Toga defeated Suzume & Haru Kazashiro when Watanabe pinned Kazashiro with the Tear Drop (14:27).
Watanabe wrestled again on the evening show as part of the “Team PW” half of the roster. She had to be more focused for this one because Suzume, her next opponent for the Princess Of Princess Title was facing her in the main event tag bout. Suzume got to land the Ring A Bell on Watanabe but Toga was there to run in and keep her partner out of trouble. Haru Kazashiro tried to take on Watanabe in Suzume’s place but ended up getting pinned with the Tear Drop for her troubles. After the match Watanabe talked about the fun day she had in Itabashi while Toga reminded her she was only here for the evening show. Watanabe now has to concentrate on her title defences with both Suzume and Matcha. She’s going to do her best to give 120% in those matches. Although Suzume lost today, she feels her skills and attitude are currently on par with Watanabe. From now until 4th January she is only going to think about fighting her.
Today is the 7th Anniversary of Pom Harajuku’s debut match. To celebrate the occasion she decided to get a brand new costume to wrestle in and since her opponent was the “Big Kaiju” Shoko Nakajima, she walked out wearing an inflated T-Rex suit! The costume doubled her power and made Headbutting very effective against Nakajima. She chased her around ringside where Nakajima used Mifu Ashida and Ren Konatsu as human shields only for them to bounce off of Harajuku. Back in the ring Nakajima found the suit’s weak spot and with a well aimed punch it began to deflate. Nakajima continued to pound on the suit unaware that Harajuku crawled out of it to safety. A sneak attack from Harajuku didn’t last and Nakajima instead beat her with the Rider Kick, 619 and Northern Lights Suplex combo. Harajuku thanked everyone for helping her make it to seven years in wrestling because she wouldn’t have gotten here on her own. She’ll continue to work hard as a pro wrestler. She also said all of that while wearing the T-Rex costume.
Ashida and Wakana Uehara spent part of their match having a cheerleading contest. It ended when Ashida rolled up Uehara from behind for a nearfall.
Raku wore a sheep hat to look like the sheep doll that Konatsu keeps on her belt buckle. Both sheep greeted each other before the match began.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “UTA TAKAMI TRIUMPHANT RETURN ~HYAKUMANGOKU SMILE IN KANAZAWA~”, 22/11/2025
Kanazawa Ryutsu Kaikan
256 Fans – No Vacancy
1. Shino Suzuki defeated Ren Konatsu with a Modified Cobra Clutch (7:07).
2. Suzume defeated Mifu Ashida with the Ring A Bell (8:01).
3. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Rika Tatsumi, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Hyper Misao, Mahiro Kiryu (c) & Kaya Toribami when Tatsumi submitted Kiryu with the White Dragon Sleeper (9:46).
*Rika Tatsumi becomes the 1,786th champion.
4. Yuki Arai defeated Kira Summer with the Scorpion Death Lock (6:53).
5. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Yuki Aino & Chika Nanase when Uehara pinned Nanase with the Sushi Tornado (11:23).
6. Mizuki & Toga defeated Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro when Mizuki pinned Kazashiro with the Cutie Special (12:55).
7. Shoko Nakajima & HIMAWARI defeated Miu Watanabe & Uta Takami when Nakajima pinned Takami with the Northern Lights Suplex (16:36).
Today was Uta Takami’s day in the spotlight with the show taking place in her home of region of Ishikawa. She put up a spirited fight in the main event, particularly with Shoko Nakajima near the end. However Nakajima kept breaking out of the Koala Clutch, hit Takami with some Rider Kicks and pinned her with the Northern Lights Suplex. Nakajima told everyone that she’s been wrestling twice as long as Takami but today’s match was so fun she is giving her a perfect score! While Takami was happy from seeing so many people turn out for her today, she admits she still has a long way to go. She promised that Tokyo Joshi Pro will grow even bigger so they can come back to Ishikawa again. Miu Watanabe also praised Takami in their backstage interview for having a strong desire to improve.
An Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title change happened on the show when Rika Tatsumi submitted Mahiro Kiryu in a 6-Woman Tag Match. It was a match where Tatsumi, Raku & Pom Harajuku all pretended to be crabs at the start because crabs are a local delicacy in Ishikawa. After Tatsumi won the title, Raku tried to obscure her vision with an eye mask and rolled her up for a nearfall. Tatsumi escaped and once she was safe she gave an interview to a backstage reporter. She didn’t plan to win the title back from Kiryu today but it just happened to go that way. In another coincidence, Ishikawa is where her favorite OCHA NORMA idol Natsume Nakayama is from so maybe this is fate playing out. Her goal to gift Nakayama the Iron Man Title at the “OCHA PRO☆KORAKUEN” show next month is back on track! However, Kiryu says she is going to get her championship back at Itabashi Green Hall tomorrow because it just so happens that she and Tatsumi have a singles match against each other scheduled there.

Not everyone will be welcoming OCHA NORMA in with open arms though. The group is often associated with tea but there are wrestlers in TJPW who much prefer to drink coffee instead. They are Yuki Kamifuku and Hyper Misao and they will be showing up to the event as the Coffee Breakers!

SETUP/IWA THAILAND “A NEW DAWN”, 14/11/2025
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi
270 Fans
2. SETUP All Asia Women’s Title – 3 Way Bangkok Death Match: Matcha (c) defeated Ram Kaichow and Pom Harajuku when Matcha pinned Harajuku with the Saito Suplex (9:52).
*V3 for Matcha.
4. IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles – 3 Way Match: Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami defeated Andruew Tang & Jake De Leon (c) and Kappa Kozo & Kappa Jr. when Toribami pinned Kozo with the Sento Choryu (9:23).
*RGT fails in V1. Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami become the 15th IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Champions!
5. Double Main Event I – Ace Vs Ace: HARASHIMA defeated Shivam with the Somato (12:17).
Note: The results and attendance number was given to me by SETUP Thailand Pro Wrestling themselves.
After a long time of planning, SETUP was able to land in Tokyo to hold their very first full show in Japan. Through their working relationships with several wrestlers and promotions (they took over the IWA Japan lineage after Tatsukuni Asano passed away last year, hence IWA Thailand now existing) they put together a card inside TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi and were able to draw in quite a big crowd to it. DDT and Tokyo Joshi Pro had some presence on the shows and while I normally would have saved this for the next DDT Around The World article at the end of the month, some timely news coming out of the show means it is best for me to post it now.
DDT was represented in the first of two main events on the show. HARASHIMA was called in to face SETUP’s top wrestler Shivam in an Ace Vs Ace showdown. He was able to keep on his toes by relying on the Somato to cut off Shivam’s momentum. He hit the move out of nowhere after taking a Sit Down Power Bomb and then used it a few more times on route to victory.
TJPW were involved in two matches on the day with high risks leading to mixed results. The good news for TJPW fans is Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami are now champions together! The two of them won the IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles in a 3 Way Tag Match. Fighting them were the defending champions Real Global Threat and pestering nuisance that is the Kappa World Order. Given the environment, things got out of control and it ended up costing RGT their belts. Andruew Tang & Jake De Leon were on track to winning the match when a third Kappa at ringside grabbed and pulled them out of the ring. The TJPW team then took down the kWo, using a combo of the Skull Kick from Yamashita followed by the Sento Choryu from Toribami for the surprise title change.
The other 3 Way with a championship on the line didn’t go as well for Pom Harajuku. She was thrown into a Bangkok Death Match against Matcha and Ram Kaichow with the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title on the line. It was a chance for Harajuku to take the belt from Matcha for a second time in their career but this time things went differently. Some of the Bangkok themed moments in the match included the women playing Kra-dòht yan with a rope until Kaichow snipped it in half with scissors, Harajuku wearing muay thai cosplay and everyone hitting each other with metal trays. Harajuku’s muay thai cosplay dragged Thanomsak Toba into the match where he ended up putting a glove on at ringside and knocked out both Matcha and Harajuku with punches. Matcha was able to recover and used the Saito Suplex to pin Harajuku back inside the ring for a successful title defence.
Now that Matcha got revenge on Harajuku and is gathering momentum on her side, she is now looking towards the distant future. TJPW will be coming to Thailand for their own show on 13th December and Matcha will be a part of it. She wants to get a title match on that show but it won’t be her defending her own championship. She is challenging Miu Watanabe for the Princess Of Princess Title in Bangkok next month!
