8. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Final: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Mizuki & Uta Takami when Uehara pinned Takami with the Sushi Tornado (14:25).
It took until the sixth year for the reigning Princess Tag Team Champions to go all the way and win the Max Heart Tournament for the first time ever. Ober Eats now have that bragging right after defeating Mizuki & Uta Takami in today’s final. As the match broke down into a frantic finish, Mizuki sacrificed herself to pull Takami out of the way from a step-up elevated Big Boot by Ober Eats and take the blow by herself. Her last heroic act was to counter a Double Flapjack into a Double Stomp that landed on both Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara. Takami tried to end things by putting Uehara into the Koala Clutch but Uehara fought out of it with a Snap Suplex and rolled Takami into the Sushi Tornado to win the match.
After the match Kamifuku got on the microphone and brought up the criticisms Ober Eats get for being the Princess Tag Champions. She remembers there were comments about hoe it was too soon for them to win the belts and Uehara wasn’t ready to be in that position yet. Then Kamifuku admitted those were actually her own opinions and she apologised to Uehara because she proved her wrong. Uehara knows her tag partner wasn’t always excited about them challenging for the titles but she is grateful to fight alongside her the entire time. Now Ober Eats are looking forward to “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” where Kamifuku wants to defend the tag titles against a team that surpasses them in every way from coolness and sexiness to the amount of social media followers they have. Uehara promised the fans that Ober Eats will deliver the best match to them at Sumo Hall on 29th March! Backstage Kamifuku gave some examples of the kind of challengers they want to fight. They need to be on the level of Suzu Hirose, Britney Spears, Nicki Manaj, Mana Ashida or Vivian Hsu. Takami is still happy with the overall experience despite losing because she created so many miracles with Mizuki. She doesn’t think they are finished making miracles yet either. Mizuki said she wants them to work hard together so when they challenge for the tag titles and win them, they will finally decide on a team name. Mizuki also said she always respected Kamifuku and now they have definitely become rivals.
This International Princess Title reign that MIRAI is going through is starting to turn into Tokyo Joshi Pro Vs Michinoku Pro in a way. The champion was again accompanied by Michinoku Pro wrestlers for her match, this time the pair of seconds at ringside were Yapper Man #1 & Yapper Man #2 (the masked gimmicks Speed Of Sounds use over there). The challenger Toga did invite her Hot Shot tag partner Yuna Manase to attend the show but she watched in the crowd since Toga’s title shot in the first place came from her wanting to take on a big challenge all by herself. Her right arm was targeted by MIRAI but she was able to hit her big Elbow Smash with it. But MIRAI got to pulled her down into the MIRAI☆Lock to make Toga fight for a rope break. Toga was then given an Olympic Slam for a nearfall before throwing back another Elbow Strike. MIRAI absorbed the blow and hit back with a Lariat to win the match.
MIRAI praised Toga after the match for being really strong and showing sides that MIRAI never knew she had. She’s impressed given this was Toga’s first time challenging for a singles championship. She encouraged Toga to keep finding herself step by step and they can then fight again some day. MIRAI then switched to talking about defending the IP Title at Sumo Hall, something she previously put out there without telling Tetsuya Koda. She already has an opponent in mind and wants to challenge her right here. It’s Suzume! The two were classmates in TJPW and even teamed up as BeeStar. Since then they both found their own ways to become stronger but Suzume admits she wouldn’t be who she is today without MIRAI. However she doesn’t want this match to happen just because of their history together. The IP Title is precious to her and she will fight to hold it again. Meanwhile MIRAI promises to bring the fight to her while carrying the weight of Michinoku Pro on her shoulders!
As we get closer to 29th March, things are getting a little more serious between Miu Watanabe and Yuki Arai. The two have the big Princess Of Princess Title match to look forward to but if things continue like they did today there’s the risk one of them might not make it to Sumo Hall. The two fought each other on the ring apron during their tag match, both aiming to use one of their signature moves on each other. Arai won out and used the Full Nelson Buster to throw Watanabe to the floor! Watanabe was able to get back in the ring before the 20 count and had Rika Tatsumi there to help by giving Arai the Twist Of Fate to get rid of her. Watanabe got to recover from the scary bump and pinned Mifu Ashida with the Tear Drop to get Daydream the victory. Watanabe took it as a good preview for “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” while Tatsumi got a sense of how dangerous Arai really is, although she hasn’t figured out if this is the kind of “madness” that Super Sasadango Machine told her to go search for. Over at Kyoto Tag, Ashida was upset over losing the match because she could really feel Arai’s desire to win. Even giving her a Valentine’s Day cheer during the match didn’t work. Arai assured her they will still team together and Ashida will continue to be part of Arai’s future plans. Arai also doesn’t regret giving Watanabe the Full Nelson Buster from the ring apron to the floor. She needed to do something big against her and in the moment knew just slamming her onto the ring apron would have put herself in harm’s way with the drop to the floor.
Suzume’s day was spent teaming up with Arisu Endo to take on Shoko Nakajima & Sara Phoenix. The guest from Chile got plenty of opportunity to go at it against Daisy Monkey while Nakajima remains a tricky opponent for the team to overcome. A bridging Regal Plex almost resulted in Phoenix pinning Suzume but Endo broke the pin at the last second. Phoenix then missed a Missile Dropkick, allowing Suzume to give her a Rope Walk Facebuster followed by the Ring A Bell to get the win.
For the second month in a row, Aja Kong has won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title at a TJPW Korakuen Hall show! She got to keep it this time too. Mahiro Kiryu needed all of the encouragement she could gather to fight Kong but it led to some setbacks. She had the werewithal to use the Iron Man Title belt as a weapon to counteract Kong’s steel can and even attempted to guard herself from an attack. But Kong paused long enough for Kiryu to drop her guard to get the headshot in anyway. Kiryu found someway to get in control and even roll up Kong for a nearfall. But Kong kicked out and gave Kiryu a slap before pinning her with the Back Drop to win the title. Backstage Kong said in the end the belt chooses her so she’s not going to leave anytime soon. Kiryu then confronted Kong alongside her lookalike Kakeru Sekiguchi and a referee. Sekiguchi spoke for Kiryu and moved her around like a puppet but it was only so Kong would be distracted for Kiryu to roll her up. The plan didn’t work and neither did the twin magic trick. Kong ran both of them off and currently remains the champion.
If Max The Impaler had their way, Pompaler would have teamed with Yuki Aino instead of Raku today. That didn’t happen because the entire point of the other team was so Aino could get Yukiniki and Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed to join forces for one day only. The match went ahead as planned and Max threw Pom Harajuku at the opposition after Ryo Mizunami dared to throw a Chop at Harajuku. Raku used her pillow to block Mizunami’s Chop but Max had enough of the shenanigans and threw the pillow away. Aino later got to do her double team moves with both Mizunami & Haru Kazashiro on the way to beating Harajuku with the Venus DDT.
Because today is Valentine’s Day, Hyper Misao wanted to confess her feelings to someone special by giving Miyu Yamashita some chocolates as a gift. However Chika Nanase interrupted her because she wanted to give Yamashita chocolate too. Kira Summer also had chocolates for Yamashita as did Kakeru Sekiguchi who explained she suddenly had a case of love at first sight. Yamashita thanked all of them but couldn’t accept anyone’s chocolate because she loves them all as TJPW’s Leader. It then turned out to be a trap by Misao’s team so they could jump Yamashita while her guard was down. Misao blinded Shino Suzuki with her Hero Spray while Sekiguchi fought with Kaya Toribami. Misao later led her team in a train attack on HIMAWARI but Suzuki came to the rescue so Bumping gRitters could take down Nanase together. That cleared the ring for HIMAWARI to pin Nanase with the Sunflower Tempest.
The opening match was a chance for Ren Konatsu and Shion Kanzaki fight over who would get their first singles win as a wrestler. Konatsu was able to fight out of a Sleeper Hold and get herself up to the middle rope. From there she did a hop onto the top rope that launched her into hitting a Missile Dropkick on Konatsu. That was enough for a three count and Konatsu got her first win eight months after her debut. She came up with the move because she’s been using sheep-like movements along with some trampolining practice and wanted to combine the two ideas together. Kanzaki was feeling upset because she felt like she couldn’t do anything against Konatsu. It makes her wonder how long it will take for her to catch up when she currently feels like she is at her limit. She promised to practice even harder after this.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHOKO NAKAJIMA NIIGATA HOMECOMING – SHOKO QUEST IV: THOSE GUIDED BY THE SNOW COUNTRY”, 11/02/2026 Niigata Dúo CEREZO 215 Fans
1. Arisu Endo defeated Shion Kanzaki with the Camel Clutch (6:41).
2. Suzume defeated Mifu Ashida with the Ring A Bell (7:25).
3. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – 3 Way Match: Miyu Yamashita defeated Raku and Mahiro Kiryu (c) when Yamashita pinned Kiryu with the Skull Kick (7:55). *Miyu Yamashita becomes the 1,801st champion.
4. Max The Pompaler & Pom Harajuku defeated Hyper Misao & Chika Nanase when Max pinned Nanase with the Short-Range Lariat (8:10).
5. Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi defeated Sara Phoenix & Kira Summer when Tatsumi pinned Summer with the Twist Of Fate (11:44).
6. Mizuki, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Ren Konatsu when Takami submitted Konatsu with the Koala Clutch (12:06).
7. Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated Yuki Arai, HIMAWARI & Toga when Nakajima pinned HIMAWARI with the Diving Senton (14:46).
Niigata’s own Shoko Nakajima led the ToJo Tokusatsu Club to victory despite the setback of failing to combine into one Megazord several times throughout the match. After picking up the win, Nakajima told everyone a story about the time she went to the Tokamachi Snow Festival as a child and she along with her siblings got to meet the heroes from Gekisou Sentai Carranger. She still keeps the group photo they took in her home back in Tokyo and it is something she treasures. She’s been worried about her family back here because of the heavy snowfall this year and wants to become a hero to be a source of inspiration for everyone to keep working harder. The ToJo Tokusatsu Club don’t borrow the power of heroes, they fight alongside them!
In a preview of this Saturday’s Max Heart Tournament final, Mizuki & Uta Takami got the better of Ober Eats in a 6-Woman Tag Match. Mizuki landed a Diving Cross Body onto Wakana Uehara and then helped Takami take down Yuki Kamifuku with a Dropkick. Ren Konatsu tried to beat Takami using different roll ups but Takami Dropkicked her as well and made Konatsu give up to the Koala Clutch. She later declared that a girl from the Hokuriku region has conquered the land of snow! Mizuki said she doesn’t normally believe in momentum but she can really feel there is a lot of it behind Takami. Shino Suzuki is also thrilled to have teamed with them again and be on the winning team today. Kamifuku encouraged Uehara by telling her the most important thing today is she worked hard. It’s all about being able to help each other, which was proven when Kamifuku forgot to bring her kneepads today and needed to borrow a pair from Shion Kanzaki. Uehara said she loved the warm atmosphere in the building today and she wants to bring it with her all the way to Korakuen Hall.
Before Pompaler made their entrance for Match #4, Hyper Misao got on the microphone to tell Chika Nanase what their gameplan will be. Misao admits Pompaler are too experienced of a tag team for a first time pairing to beat so she asked Super Sasadango Machine to give her some sasadango treats to distract Max The Impaler with. Then they could double team Pom Harajuku and throw her at Max for once. The plan didn’t work well enough. Max fell for the distraction but easily caught Harajuku when she was thrown at them. Max then threw Harajuku at the other team but they both dodged out of the way and Sasadango took the impact instead. Max went on to pin Nanase with the Short-Range Lariat and proceeded to take her scrunchie as a trophy.
An alliance between Raku and Mahiro Kiryu was unable to stop Miyu Yamashita from becoming the new Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. She hit Raku with the Return Crash then pinned Kiryu with the Skull Kick for the victory. Later after the show there was a fan event that featured the roster competing in different games. One of them was a challenge where several wrestlers all tried to pause a stopwatch at exactly the ten second mark. Whoever got the closest time would be the winner. Since Yamashita took part in it that meant the Iron Man Title was put on the line. The ring announcer Rise Shirai ended up winning the contest to become the new champion. Then later in the event everyone surprised Shion Kanzaki by giving her a cake for her birthday. While they were all celebrating, Kiryu attacked Shirai in front of everybody and used the stopwatch’s cord to choke her into submission. The referee called it a title change but decided the Stopwatch was now the champion! Kiryu then grabbed the Stopwatch, ran away to an empty room where only the referee could follow her and she pinned it to become the champion again.
Sasadango was at the event as the PR Ambassador for “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”. The last time he was at a TJPW show he gave some people challenges to help promote the Sumo Hall show. Today he was looking to get some updates along with giving out more marketing ideas for the roster to take part in. He heard about the ToJo Tokusatsu Club’s request to fight alongside the Super Sentai. He told them that CyberFight actually are working hard on trying to make a collaboration happen but it will be a challenge to make it a reality. So in the meantime he instructed the Club to take part in secret training to prepare for Sumo Hall. Sasadango then asked Tetsuya Koda if there was any progress in him finding a big celebrity to wrestle on the show. He had to remind Koda that this task is seperate from the Super Sentai one. That made Koda admit he’s made zero progress and he doesn’t know where to start. Sasadango told Koda if he can’t do this task then they might as well cancel “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” and nobody wants that to happen. According to Sasadango, if Koda looks hard enough he can find 20 people who are famous enough to fill Sumo Hall by themselves.
When Sasadango was done with catching up on the current challenges, he went to find Rika Tatsumi so he could give her one too. He approached Daydream after they won their tag match and asked Tatsumi what is her most unique quality? Tatsumi said she is a classic idol wrestler but Sasadango corrected her. Her best quality is her madness! Tatsumi refused to believe him but Sasadango brought up how she always strangles her opponents and he doesn’t understand why everyone in Tokyo Joshi Pro ignores it. His challenge to Tatsumi is to hone the insanity inside herself to help liven up Sumo Hall! Tatsumi needs to face the madness within herself but she doesn’t understand what Sasadango means by that. She isn’t a psychopath and she wants to prove it by shaking Sasadango’s hand. But as the handshake was happening, Sasadango encouraged her to try and strangle him. She wouldn’t so he simply told her to do her best and then left. Tatsumi doesn’t know what to do about this. Miu Watanabe however is looking forward to seeing what side of Tatsumi everyone will see at Sumo Hall, the classic idol wrestler or the psychopath?

The Super Family are hitting some sort of rough patch after failing to win the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles on the last show. Lil’ Kraken wonders if they should split up but SAGAT still wants to team with him. After taking a day to think about it, the decision was made to have the two face each other in a singles bout. Is this just something to get their frustrations out or will it be a (super) family rift that cannot be healed?
Yuki Ishida from DDT makes another appearance here. He’ll take on BASARA’s young prospect Takeru Inoue in the opener.

8. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Final: Mizuki & Uta Takami Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara
It’s new territory for the Max Heart Tournament because the current Princess Tag Team Champions have reached the final for the first time. Ober Eats are now just one win away from winning the whole thing and living up to the votes they got for the Best Tag Team category in the recent Tokyo Sports Awards. Meanwhile Mizuki & Uta Takami are on something of a miracle run as a tag team, although they want to prove they deserve to be here through hard work and well earned success instead of luck and good fortune.
There’s an alternate timeline where Daydream and Kyoto Tag could have been a semi final match in the tournament. Instead they’re facing each other on the undercard to help build up March’s Princess Of Princess Title match between Miu Watanabe and Yuki Arai.
Opponents have now become tag partners. Shoko Nakajima liked wrestling Sara Phoenix so much she wants to team with her. They may end up being a bounce back team for Daisy Monkey though.
A first win awaits for either Ren Konatsu or Shion Kanzaki.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 6TH “FUTARI WA PRINCESS” MAX HEART TOURNAMENT”, 25/01/2026 Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall 347 Fans – Super No Vacancy

7. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida when Uehara submitted Ashida with the Banana Pillow (12:05).
With Round 2 out of the way now every team in this year’s Max Heart Tournament have had a match. Ober Eats are currently the team to be since they are the reigning Princess Tag Team Champions. They also knocked out the team featuring one half of the upcoming Sumo Hall main event. Kyoto Tag had their moment of taunting Wakana Uehara with some cheerleading but Yuki Kamifuku and her Big Boots were there to keep things in favour of the champions. While Yuki Arai was able to get rid of her with a Brainbuster, Mifu Ashida wasn’t able to capitalise. Instead Uehara trapped her in the Banana Pillow to get the win and advance Ober Eats into the semi finals. Uehara really wants to win the Max Heart trophies and she’s noticing that Kamifuku is becoming hungry for success too even though she’s not showing it. Ashida said if Kyoto Tag would have won today, they would have revealed their official tag team name. Unfortunately it’s going to be kept secret for a while longer. Ashida even thought up lyrics for a new entrance song. The only line she would reveal is “I love you, Arai♪ Let’s try harder♪” and it took up a lot of her brain power to come up with it.
The other half of the Sumo Hall main event was also knocked out of the tournament today despite her best efforts with her tag partner. Daydream walked out armed with their sasumata poles in an attempt to trap Pompaler with them. The poles worked on Pom Harajuku but Max The Impaler was able to power their way out of the trap. Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi did what they could to slow Max down, even by using Harajuku as a weapon against them. But Max did the same to Daydream before pinning Tatsumi with the Reverse Splash for the victory. Daydream are both relieved they are still alive after the match but are disappointed to be knocked out so early. Both of them want to achieve a lot together this year whether if it is Daydream winning Best Tag Team Awards or Tatsumi becoming the Dragon God of everything. Pompaler now face Ober Eats in the semi final and the champions are not looking forward to that.
Only one team of former winners remain in the final four and that’s Daisy Monkey. They had to go through the kick heavy team of K!SS// to get here. Arisu Endo was able to block Kaya Toribami from going for the Sento Choryu while Suzume took out Miyu Yamashita with the Ring A Bell. Toribami tried to kick her way out of trouble but Endo stunned her with a Super Kick before getting the win using her Ju no Okite finisher. Daisy Monkey are feeling confident together now they are reunited and they really want to win this tournament again. They also now wonder if they can challenge K!SS// for the IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles? Would they have to go to Thailand to make it happen? K!SS// already have a title defence lined up over there happening next month though.
In something of an upset, the makeshift team of Mizuki & Uta Takami have eliminated Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed in the 2nd Round! Mizuki’s craftiness won out in the end when she saw an opening to do a Double Stomp onto Haru Kazashiro while she was trying to bridge a pin on top of Takami. Kazashiro didn’t notice that Takami rolled out of the way and definitely didn’t expect Mizuki to come in and stomp her flat. Takami immediately jumped on top for the pin and got the three count. Yuki Aino apologised for not being there to stop the pin but Kazashiro told her neither of them are to blame for losing. Mizuki said that since the team has made it this far, they should make a miracle happen and go even further. They have to beat Daisy Monkey in the semi final if they want to make that miracle a reality.
Super Sasadango Machine was in attendance for the show to help promote “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” happening at Sumo Hall on 29th March. He is the PR Ambassador for the show but wants everybody in Tokyo Joshi Pro to do their part in promoting the big event. That includes Tetsuya Koda who received a big request from Sasadango. Koda was told to go find an important special guest from outside of wrestling to come to the show and have a debut match! The guest needs to be such a big name that her appearance by itself can fill up Sumo Hall. Koda agreed to take the request and will find someone famous to compete in their pro wrestling debut.
Sasadango was brought back out later in the show because he was part of another important announcement. Hyper Misao declared that she is going to take on Yuka Sakazaki & Konosuke Takeshita at “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” and Sasadango will be her tag team partner! Sasadango was confused because he thought the newly married couple of Shingo Takagi & Natsupoi were going to be the mystery team facing Sakazaki & Takeshita. Misao told him to shut up and explained the better opponents for them would be the most incomprehensible tag team the wrestling world can come up with, which is Misao & Sasadango. Misao also wanted to fire up Sasadango because his efforts to promote “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” lately haven’t been up to his usual standards. Even if Sasadango’s appearance on the show only sells one ticket, how can he expect to sell out Sumo Hall if he can’t even take care of the one precious fan who bought that ticket? She also explained that the PR in TJPW PR Ambassador means Pro Wrestling Ring, not Public Relations. That means Sasadango has no choice but to accept this match! Misao also has another goal she wants to achieve out of this. She wants to beat Sakazaki & Takeshita so she can earn four contracts across DDT, TJPW, AEW and New Japan all at the same time! Sasadango is thinking even bigger and wants to get contracts with every wrestling company out there.
Details for three of the four shows Tokyo Joshi Pro will be holding in Texas in March have been revealed. We now know there are two dates in Austin on the 17th and 18th followed by a show in Arlington happening on the 21st. The Houston show currently does not have a date or venue attached. Since the original promoted dates were from the 17th to the 22nd, I reckon it will end up being held on the 22nd but nothing has been confirmed yet.
The list of TJPW wrestlers taking part on the tour are Miu Watanabe, Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara, Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima, Mizuki, Rika Tatsumi, Hyper Misao, Raku, Yuki Aino, Suzume, Pom Harajuku, Arisu Endo, Yuki Arai, Kaya Toribami, Shino Suzuki, Mifu Ashida and Uta Takami. There will also be non-Japanese wrestlers taking part and they will be revealed soon.

There’s one more thing I want to slip in at the end here and it is about WrestleMania Week in Las Vegas. Right now there is nothing DDT or TJPW related announced to be happening. MAOput out a tweet a few weeks back expressing his disappointment that he (and Yoshihiko) won’t be returning to Vegas this year which is more evidence that DDT won’t be doing anything. However I am hearing conflicted stories over TJPW putting out some kind of presence there during the week. One side says the Texas tour is the only US shows they are doing for the next couple of months. However I’ve also heard that TJPW is organizing something for Vegas in April that will eventually be revealed. Whether it is a full fledged show or a collaboration with another indie that will only involve a portion of the roster I do not know. The only other info I’ve seen is it will not be attached to GCW or The Collective. So yeah, I just wanted to pass along that rumour for the weekend.
This list was revealed back on New Year’s Day but I was busy on holiday. Only got around to doing this now almost three weeks later. Over 340 fans from around the world voted for their favorite Tokyo Joshi Pro matches of 2025. Nearly 140 matches received votes. There was also a correction to some of the scores originally posted in their tweet thread but none of the matches changed places because of it.

BASARA “BASARA 298 ~10TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW~”, 31/01/2026 Shinjuku FACE
1. Daichi Kazato Vs X
2. GRACE PROJECT Offer Match: Tomoya Hirata, Captain Grace & Violento Jack Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga
3. Ryuichi Sekine, Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino Vs Ryota Nakatsu, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida
4. Isami Kodaka & Takeru Inoue Vs Minoru Fujita & Yasu Urano
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura (c) Vs SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken
6. Union MAX Title: Shuji Ishikawa (c) Vs FUMA
The Union MAX Title is throwing itself back to its origins now that Shuji Ishikawa is the new champion. His first challenger is FUMA who has held the title both in Union Pro and in BASARA. Ishikawa joked they should bring back an old Union gimmick and have this be a 1,000 Roses Death Match for old time’s sake. He’s taking things a bit more seriously after FUMA said he hunts down boars that are heavier than Ishikawa.
When it comes to dominant factions in BASARA, the Super Family has not been one of them. But they’ve become tenacious enough to earn SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken a shot at the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles. The new champs Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura don’t want to lose the belts to anybody and they especially don’t want to lose to the Super Family!
As he promised a while back, Isami Kodaka returns from his absence in time for BASARA’s anniversary.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 6TH “FUTARI WA PRINCESS” MAX HEART TOURNAMENT”, 14/02/2026 Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Mahiro Kiryu (c) Vs Aja Kong
2. International Princess Title: MIRAI (c) Vs Toga
3. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Final: X & X Vs X & X
The prodigal daughter of TJPW MIRAI has come back to win the International Princess Title that was beyond her grasp in the past. Now she’s looking to the future where she sees an opponent with a similar smash heavy style as hers waiting to challenge her. Toga wants to show everyone she can get the job done without needing help from Yuna Manase or anyone else so she was the first one to ask MIRAI for a title shot.
The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title just can’t get away from Mahiro Kiryu. Every time she loses the belt, fate makes sure she finds a way to win it back. She now has a pinfall over Aja Kong because of this but that means Kong now wants to fight Kiryu one on one! She knows she can easily take the belt from her whenever she wants but she has enough pride to do it in the ring with a proper wrestling match. The bout will still go ahead if Kiryu loses the title to someone else beforehand.
The two title matches booked for this show are why Toga and Kiryu are not competing in this year’s Max Heart Tournament.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026 Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan
1. Special Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki & KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs X & X
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Arai
Second time’s the charm for Yuki Arai. She avenged her squash to Miyu Yamashita in the recent 6-Woman Elimination match and will now get to face Miu Watanabe for the Princess Of Princess Title. She couldn’t win the belt at Ota Ward Gymnasium last year but can she do it in Sumo Hall this year?
There are so many ways the Special Tag Match can go. It will be Konosuke Takeshita’s first time wrestling in TJPW (he was meant to be part of their US debut in 2020 but that show was cancelled due to covid) and he will be teaming up with his wife Yuka Sakazaki to make it a bigger deal. Their opponents have not been announced yet. The recent news of Shingo Takagi & Natsupoi led to some jokes about them being the other team in a battle of the happy couples. I think enough time has passed that the issue Sakazaki had with Natsupoi leaving TJPW years ago is now water under the bridge. The opponents are likely another mixed pair tag team though, one that doesn’t have to be romantically attached to each other.
The current list of guests who will wrestle on the show are Sareee, Lei Ying Lee, Aja Kong, Andreza Giant Panda and Minimo-chan with Mari Yaguchi accompanying it. Also Max The Impaler will be at the show.
The sixth annual Max Heart Tournament is continuing the 12 team single elimination format from last year. Four established teams have a buy into the 2nd Round while the other eight entries need to fight through the opening day to advance. Toga is not taking part in the tournament because she will be focusing on her upcoming International Princess Title shot. Kyoraku Kyomei are continuing their streak of being the only team to enter every Max Heart Tournament. They are among three teams aiming to become the first two-time winners. The other possible candidates are Daydream and Daisy Monkey. There is also a chance for Miyu Yamashita to be the first two-time winner but with two different partners.
