TOKYO JOSHI PRO “READY TO EXPLODE ~SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26~”, 04/07/2026 Shin-Kiba 1st RING 275 Fans – Super No Vacancy
1. Haru Kazashiro & Chika Nanase defeated Ren Konatsu & Shion Kanzaki when Nanase submitted Kanzaki with the Inari Torii Kai (11:28).
2. 3 Way Match: Yuki Kamifuku defeated Raku and Kira Summer when Kamifuku pinned Summer with the Famouser (6:25).
3. Mizuki & Uta Takami defeated Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Mizuki submitted Harajuku with the Southern Cross (8:25).
4. Wakana Uehara & Toga defeated Suzume & Arisu Endo when Uehara submitted Suzume with the Banana Pillow (12:37).
5. Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & HIMAWARI defeated Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Yuki Aino when Watanabe pinned Nakajima with the Tear Drop (13:41).
6. Miyu Yamashita & Sakura Hattori defeated Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida when Yamashita submitted Ashida with the Modified Cobra Clutch (14:54).
There is now two weeks to go until “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26” and today was the go home show for the event. Yuki Arai had Mifu Ashida cheering her on despite having her pompoms thrown away by Sakura Hattori. The ninja later played her part in keeping Arai held back so Miyu Yamashita could beat down on Ashida. However Arai broke through to try and rescue her Kyoto Tag partner only to get Skull Kicked for her troubles. With her out of the way, Yamashita then whipped Ashida down onto the mat to submit her with the Modified Cobra Clutch. After the match Yamashita said this isn’t all that Arai has got but she’s still going to kick her down and win the Princess Of Princess Title. Hattori gave her support to her K!SS// partner and the two of them promoted “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26” to end the show.
Last week Rika Tatsumi claimed she lost in the 8-Woman Tag main event on purpose to help ignite Kyoraku Kyomei into finally wanting to fight Daydream for the Princess Tag Team Titles. That claim had stuck with Hyper Misao all week so she got her hair cut to be 30cm shorter before today’s match. Misao told everyone this on the microphone and joked that she is now totally ready to win the title. This likely was a reference to the time in 2018 when Tatsumi dramatically cut her own hair as part of a failed Princess Title challenge because as soon as she heard Misao’s joke, she immediately lost her temper and choked her with the mic cable to start the match. Miu Watanabe later won the match by pinning Shoko Nakajima with the Tear Drop. Then for a little added boost of momentum, Daydream stopped Kyoraku Kyomei from stealing the title belts after the match. In an ironic turn of events backstage, Kyoraku Kyomei are now claiming that they lost on purpose today in order to motivate the champions for the title match.
A misfire between Daisy Monkey has all of a sudden given Wakana Uehara some motivation heading into her International Princess Title match. Arisu Endo tried to Super Kick Toga but it was dodged and Suzume took the hit instead. Toga gave Endo the Absolute Zero then rallied Uehara to finish the match. Suzume fought back using a low level Ring A Bell but Uehara kicked out of it and then blocked the regular version of Suzume’s finisher. Uehara then jumped onto Suzume and rolled her into the Banana Pillow, keeping her away from the ropes and wrenching in the hold until Suzume tapped out. Suzume has considered her challenger a threat from the beginning but admitted today is the first time she’s really seeing her strength up close. She now wants to fight Uehara more than ever before and is starting to feel hungry about it.
Next week is the Tanabata festival so Pom Harajuku carried down a bamboo branch to stick onto one of the ring corners. She then asked Mizuki & Uta Takami to write down their wishes to stick onto the “tree”. Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu then attacked them from behind to start the match. Harajuku pulled Mizuki away from ringside during this and trapped her in another part of the building. She then went back to the ring and ripped apart Takami’s wish in front of her. Mizuki eventually broke free from her imprisonment and got the hot tag. She made Harajuku tap out to the Souther Cross while Takami held Kiryu in the Koala Clutch.
Today was Kira Summer’s last match in Tokyo Joshi Pro before she travels home to Australia for the rest of the summer. Her return will be happening around the middle of August. So Australia, go and get ready for Kira Summer’s Summer Of Kira!
A roster of 24 participants will be competing in the 13th annual Tokyo Princess Cup this summer and unlike last year there is no qualifying round needed for the junior members of the roster to earn their spot. Instead an extra round has been tacked onto the bracket so it is possible that the eventual winner of the tournament would have needed to win five matches rather than four depending on where their starting point is. The bracket will be randomly determined by a lottery to be held at a future date.
It was decided that Yuki Kamifuku will not be taking part in the tournament because she is going to retire at the end of the year. Kira Summer will also not be taking part because she will be in Australia during the first half of the tournament.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 23/08/2026 Tokyo Korakuen Hall
We’re in the middle of the World Cup so I’m very distracted right now. Konosuke Takeshita got into a big AEW gang war, Jun Akiyama took a trip to Germany, Miyu Yamashita won another championship in EVE and Daisuke Sasaki had an unsanctioned Hardcore match over in Thailand. Now as we go deeper into the summer there is not a lot happening on the horizon. Next month’s article might turn out to be a quick one.

EVE “EVE 150: HISTORY MAKERS RULE BREAKERS!”, 05/06/2026 Big Penny Social, London, England
1. EVE International Title: Miyu Yamashita defeated Kris Statlander (c) with the Skull Kick (17:30). *Kris Statlander fails in V4. Miyu Yamashita becomes the 12th EVE International Champion!
Yamashita is a champion in EVE again two and a half years after her dominating run as EVE Champion. Now she holds the EVE International Title with a hard fought victory over AEW’s own Kris Statlander. She kicked out of the 450 Splash and rolled through a Chaos Theory to hit Statlander from behind with the Crash Rabbit Heat. Statlander blocked the Skull Kick and did a Package Piledriver for a nearfall leading to a scramble to get the upper hand. Statlander spun around for a Rolling Elbow only to be met with the Skull Kick knocking her down so Yamashita could pin her to win the title.
WXW “DRIVE OF CHAMPIONS 2026”, 06/06/2026 Turbinenhalle 1, Oberhausen, Germany
1. Ahura & Jun Akiyama defeated 1 Called Manders & Thomas Shire when Akiyama pinned Shire with the Wrist-Clutch Exploder Suplex (23:03).
The German promotion wXw welcomed Jun Akiyama into their corner of the world to pair him up with one of their top wrestlers to take on a tag team of American cowboys. Ahura took a big beating from Cowboy Way for a lot of the match both inside and out of the ring. But once Akiyama was tagged in he became a house on fire and dished it out to 1 Called Manders as much as he could. Thomas Shire came to his partner’s aid to use the numbers game against Akiyama but Ahura tagged back in after gaining his second wind. Manders turned him inside out with a Lariat but Ahura kicked out much to his opponent’s dismay. Ahura then ducked Mander’s second Lariat, causing Shire to get clobbered by accident. Akiyama ran in to throw Manders away with the Exploder then tagged himself in to give Shire the Wrist-Clutch version of his finisher. He got the three count while Ahura did a spinning Springboard dive out of the ring onto Manders for the finish.
ROH/CMLL “GLOBAL WARS CINCINNATI”, 10/06/2026 (Aired 18/06/2026) The Andrew J Brady Music Center, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
1. AEW International Title: Konosuke Takeshita (c) defeated Lee Johnson with the Powerdrive Knee (9:30). *V2 for Konosuke Takeshita.
Takeshita got to fit in a couple of title defences this month including an extra one for the AEW International Title. He put the belt on the line against Lee Johnson in ROH as part of their Global Wars weekend. Johnson put up a decent fight but there was no risk of Takeshita losing here. The Blue Thunder Bomb led to the Powerdrive Knee and that was it. Takeshita had a bigger challenge for this championship coming up later in the month.
AEW “DYNAMITE”, 17/06/2026 Smart Financial Centre At Sugar Land, Sugar Land, Texas, USA
1. MJF, Kevin Knight, Jake Doyle, Kazuchika Okada, Kyle Fletcher & Andrade El Ídolo defeated Mark Briscoe, Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong, Darby Allin & Konosuke Takeshita when MJF submitted Strong with the Salt Of The Earth (17:21).
The rest of the month had Takeshita getting dragged into a big gang war between The Conglomeration and The Don Callis Family with Mark Briscoe and MJF leading the packs against each other. Not much to talk about when it came to his role in the preview match. His team lost and he was part of the post-match beatdown as well.
CMLL “FANTASTICA MANIA 2026”, 19/06/2026 Arena Mexico, Mexico City, Distrito Federal, Mexico
1. Konosuke Takeshita & Hechicero defeated Ultimo Guerrero & Gran Guerrero when Takeshita pinned Ultimo with the Raging Fire (12:29).
Takeshita then travelled to Mexico to wrestle in CMLL again but he had to team up with Hechicero. The two aren’t meant to be seeing eye to eye because of Takeshita’s exit from the Callis Family but they tried to put aside their differences in order to beat Los Guerreros. The team started to fall apart near the end when Takeshita or Hechicero would duck attacks from Ultimo Guerrero & Gran Guerrero only for their partner to get hit with the move by accident. It reached the point where Takeshita got fed up and knocked Hechicero away so he could beat Ultimo Guerrero and take the win for himself. Hechicero then attacked Takeshita after the match.
AEW “DYNAMITE”, 24/06/2026 Rio Rancho Events Center, Rio Rancho, New Mexico, USA
1. AEW International Title: Konosuke Takeshita (c) defeated Ricochet with the Raging Fire (13:47). *V3 for Konosuke Takeshita.
Takeshita had some time to clear his head and deal with other things before the big PPV match at the end of the month. He put up another AEW International Title defence this time taking on Ricochet in a clash between power and agility. A big spot that happened during the match was when Ricochet jumped off the ring apron Shooting Star Press style only for Takeshita to catch him and then do an Exploder Suplex onto the floor! Ricochet made a comeback in the ring and hit Takeshita with his own Powerdrive Knee, even pulling down his kneepad so he could hit the move raw. The Shooting Star Press couldn’t put Takeshita away so he pulled the referee into Takeshita’s way to cheap shot the champion with a headbutt. However Takeshita still kicked out of the Ricosault afterward and met an incoming Spear Gun with a Lariat that turned Ricochet inside out. He then defeated Ricochet by giving him the Powerdrive Knee followed by the Raging Fire.
SETUP “HELLRAISER”, 27/06/2026 The Circus Studio, G Village, Bangkok, Thailand
1. Hardcore Unsanctioned Anything Goes Match: Daisuke Sasaki defeated Jonathan Johnson with the Chair-Assisted Diving Elbow from the Ladder (?:??).
Chaos followed Daisuke Sasaki over to Thailand where he fought Jonathan Johnson in a Hardcore Match that was unsanctioned by SETUP. The two brawled all over the venue and that included going up to a balcony where Sasaki Super Kicked Johnson back down to the ground floor onto a group of people below! Chairs and a ladder were then brought into the ring. Johnson had a sudden burst of adrenaline and kept fighting despite being Suplexed by Sasaki from the top of the ladder. However Sasaki still got the upper hand and went right back up the top of the ladder with a chair in hand. From there he jumped right off to land a Super Diving Elbow with the chair onto Johnson. There was no way Johnson was kicking out of that and he didn’t.
AEW/NJPW/CMLL/STARDOM “FORBIDDEN DOOR”, 28/06/2026 SAP Center At San Jose, San Jose, California, USA
1. Steel Cage Match: Mark Briscoe, Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong, Kyle O’Reilly, Darby Allin & Konosuke Takeshita defeated MJF, Kevin Knight, Jake Doyle, Kazuchika Okada, Kyle Fletcher & Andrade El Ídolo when Briscoe pinned Doyle with the Jay Driller (31:45).
A big circle shaped cage surrounded the ring for Takeshita’s last match of the month. He was now in a 12-Man Steel Cage war between Team Briscoe and Team MJF. With all of the violence and explosions going on around him, Takeshita lightened the situation a little bit when he reached into Orange Cassidy’s backpack and only pulled out his middle finger to flip off Kazuchika Okada. He later got some measure of revenge on Kyle Fletcher for last month’s turn by giving him the Blue Thunder Bomb from the ring apron through a table.

KITSUNE “STAY WITH ME!”, 26/07/2026 Xander Sports Complex, Carson, California, USA
Ok this might be an interesting turn of events to keep in the back of your mind. Apparently Sayuri Namba will be moving back to Japan soon and her final ring announcing gig in North America will be with Kitsune at the end of the month. Now I’m not expecting her to go back to her old ring announcer job with TJPW since Rise Shirai is still there doing fine work in that role. But maybe she might start popping up somewhere familiar every once in a while during the latter half of 2026.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ FINAL”, 27/06/2026 Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall 347 Fans – Super No Vacancy
1. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated HIMAWARI & Kira Summer when Aino pinned Summer with the Venus DDT (10:24).
2. Toga & Uta Takami defeated Arisu Endo & Shion Kanzaki when Toga pinned Kanzaki with the Absolute Zero (10:40).
3. Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Mahiro Kiryu & Mifu Ashida when Raku pinned Ashida with the Doctor Yellow (9:18).
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Sakura Hattori defeated YuuRI & Chika Nanase when Kamifuku pinned Nanase with the Famouser (10:10).
5. Mizuki defeated Ren Konatsu with the Cutie Special (9:37).
6. Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Wakana Uehara defeated Yuki Arai, Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Suzume when Nakajima pinned Tatsumi with an Inverted Hurricanrana (17:59).
Several paths all leading to “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26” merged together in today’s main event pitting all of the Princess Champions against their upcoming challengers in an 8-Woman Tag Match. Hyper Misao got on the microphone to tell everyone she would win this match in a flash because she already beat Miu Watanabe last week. She then immediately removed the blue turnbuckle pad but was stopped by Watanabe and Rika Tatsumi used it as a weapon on Misao instead. Wakana Uehara focused on Suzume by trying to trap her in the Banana Pillow but was eventually taken out of action with a Facecrusher. Yuki Arai showed how dangerous her Scorpion Death Lock has become by using it on Miyu Yamashita to great effect but Misao was able to break it up. The match came down to Daydream against Kyoraku Kyomei with Misao saving Shoko Nakajima from being pinned with the Daydream Eternity and then leading Watanabe out of the ring. Tatsumi knocked Misao off the apron but when she turned around, Nakajima caught her in a Hurricanrana and scored the pinfall.
After the match Nakajima had a confession to make. She lied when she said it was not the right time for Kyoraku Kyomei to challenge Daydream for the Princess Tag Team Titles. Now that she found the courage to admit it, she wants to win the belts back. Misao agreed and the two of them signed the contract for the title match scheduled for 18th July. They offered to shake Daydream’s hands and Tatsumi responded by slapping their faces. That was only because she’s had to wait this long for them to finally agree. When they left, Suzume spoke to Uehara with some unexpected concern in her voice. Her team of champions didn’t win today and she feels both herself and Uehara weren’t good enough to compete with everyone else in the ring. Uehara couldn’t find the words to respond so Suzume just raised the International Princess Title up and left the ring. Yamashita admitted that Arai in her current form as Princess Of Princess Champion is strong but this July she is going to kick her down! Nakajima gave Uehara some motivation during the show ending speech and promised the fans that Kyoraku Kyomei, Yamashita and Uehara will all shine bright enough to wear the championships.
Today’s show went ahead over warnings of two typhoons hitting Tokyo over the weekend. Raku & Pom Harajuku came to the show prepared for the weather by wearing raincoats and carrying umbrellas down for their match.
It was announced that the trainee Momo Sato will make her pro debut for Tokyo Joshi Pro on 18th July. Sato is an idol from Harajuku Gakuen and also the younger sister of DDT wrestler Daichi Sato. She also has previous experience in wrestling including entering the Battle Royal that was held at “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” back in April. Sato promised she will do her best and give it her all when she debuts.

2. Union MAX Title: Shuji Ishikawa (c) Vs Takumi Tsukamoto
BASARA’s recent tournament ended with Takumi Tsukamoto becoming the No. 1 Contender for the Union MAX Title. He said he will stop Shuji Ishikawa from being the champion for the next ten years because that means Ishikawa will be holding onto the belt until he is sixty.
A big name tag team is reuniting in BASARA, giving Aijin Tag a big target to take down in order to prove they are the promotion’s best ever duo. Isami Kodaka has stopped his recent losing streak while Yuko Miyamoto is all of a sudden getting a couple of title matches in different places. We should pay attention because Yankee Two Kenju might be back and better than ever.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ IN NAGOYA”, 21/06/2026 Aichi Chunichi Hall 444 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House
1. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated Toga & Chika Nanase when Kazashiro pinned Nanase with the Fisherman Suplex (10:13).
2. 3 Way Match: Sakura Hattori defeated Pom Harajuku and Mahiro Kiryu when Hattori pinned Harajuku and Kiryu with a Simultaneous School Boy (8:00).
3. Mizuki & Uta Takami defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Raku when Mizuki pinned Raku with the Diving Foot Stomp (9:36).
4. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Wakana Uehara & Kira Summer when Suzume pinned Summer with the Ring A Bell (11:03).
5. Hyper Misao defeated Miu Watanabe with a School Boy (4:52).
6. Rika Tatsumi Vs Shoko Nakajima ended in a Time Limit Draw (15:00).
7. Yuki Arai & Ren Konatsu defeated Miyu Yamashita & Shion Kanzaki when Konatsu pinned Kanzaki with the Aries Comet (14:32).
Ren Konatsu has entered her second year as a pro wrestler by returning to the venue of her debut and winning in the main event for the first time! She got to beat her junior Shion Kanzaki with the Aries Comet while Yuki Arai used a Full Nelson Buster to make sure Miyu Yamashita was out of the way. Konatsu said she wants to team up with Arai a lot more as well as also have matches against her. The way Arai praised Konatsu after the match makes Konatsu think she has now gone from Arai’s fan into Arai’s angel. As for the upcoming title match, Arai thinks today was an important warmup because she got to show Yamashita her true potential. She wants to master the Scorpion Death Lock and is thinking carefully of different ways to put Yamashita in it in every match they will be in together.
The two Daydream Vs Kyoraku Kyomei singles matches couldn’t have turned out any differently. Rika Tatsumi and Shoko Nakajima fought each other to a 15 minute stalemate where Tatsumi’s tactical wrestling clashed with Nakajima’s speedy style. The other match devolved into chaos pretty quickly. Hyper Misao tried to leave when she realized it was meant to be a preliminary bout for the Princess Tag Team Titles match that her team still denies is going to happen. However she was already locked in the room and had to wrestle the match. Miu Watanabe wrapped Misao up in the ring apron and gave her the Giant Swing on the floor. Misao blinded Watanabe with the Hero Spray and started detaching the turnbuckle posts to use as weapons. Watanabe ended up charging right into an exposed buckle and was rolled back into a School Boy to get pinned by Misao. Kyoraku Kyomei still hold the contract for the title match and Nakajima pointed out that if she cannot beat Tatsumi one on one then she clearly isn’t ready to fight for the tag titles right now. On the other side, Tatsumi cannot believe that Watanabe lost her match so she ordered her to go train at a gym by herself without using her Hot Pepper app points to make the reservation. Tatsumi doesn’t need to join the training because a draw is not a loss. She also doesn’t believe Nakajima when she says now is not the right time to do the title match.
While Japan was beating Tunisia 4-0 in the World Cup, Mahiro Kiryu brought along a gigantic football so she could play the sport with her opponents in the 3 Way Match. She also had red and yellow cards prepared for Daisuke Kiso to use if anyone committed a foul (that blew up in her face when Kiso booked her for being too aggressive towards him). Pom Harajuku wasn’t interested in playing and Sakura Hattori threw the ball away but both of them were eventually drawn into Kiryu’s game. Harajuku threw the ball around which made Kiryu stop the match so she could show her how to play properly. The two then tried to kick the ball into the red corner goal but Hattori used her ninja skills to save almost every shot. She finally let one in by accidentally leaving an open goal but then remembered they were in a wrestling match so she rolled both opponents over with a Double School Boy for the win. At least Kiryu and Harajuku got more shots on goal than Tunisia did.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26”, 18/07/2026 Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Aja Kong Vs Arisu Endo
2. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Wakana Uehara
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita
A contract signing ceremony took place today for the three championship matches taking place at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26” next month. Miyu Yamashita talked about how long its been since she last challenged for the Princess Of Princess Title and she hasn’t felt tension like this in a long time. She only wants to fight for that title when she has a vision of what she would be like holding it. She’s been in the ring with Yuki Arai plenty of times even going back to Arai training for her debut match. She loves seeing the fighting spirit in Arai’s eyes but when they had the singles match at the end of last year that only lasted a minute, Arai’s eyes were not filled with fighting spirit and Yamashita felt no excitement from beating her so quickly. Arai made up for it by submitting Yamashita with the Scorpion Death Lock a month later and that is the wrestler Yamashita wants to fight again when the title is on the line.
Arai talked about her debut match five years ago happening on the same show where Yamashita successfully defended the Princess Title. It was the first time Arai watched a title match in person and it left a strong impression on her. As champion Arai wants to become the kind of presence that Yamashita has but she is aware there are many things she needs to improve to get there. She knew one day she would fight Yamashita for a championship but never thought she would be the champion and Yamashita the challenger. She promises to excite Yamashita next month and show everyone she has become one or two levels stronger. Arai also told a story from her first year as a wrestler. She had hurt the inside of her mouth and didn’t want to eat food because it stung too much. However Yamashita kept offering her food like soup and making her take it. At the time Arai thought it was Yamashita being very strict until she realised it was being done out of love because Yamashita didn’t want Arai to starve herself and lose weight.
The weird situation over the Princess Tag Team Titles match is only getting weirder. Kyoraku Kyomei boycotted the press conference in their continued protest of being put in the match against their will. Rise Shirai had to tell Daydream to sign the contract first and then it would be signed by the challengers at a later date. Both Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi expressed their disappointment in the no show but they are certain the boycott will end and the title match will go ahead. Suddenly they were asked a question from Hasegawa an unknown reporter from a magazine called “Monthly Throwaway German”. Afterward came a question from someone named Hero Oka from the “Daily Hero” newspaper. The two reporters then insisted on asking more and more questions until they were suddenly standing face to face with Daydream. The disguises were then pulled off and the reporters were revealed to be Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao! Nakajima stole the contract from Shirai while Misao blinded Daydream with her Hero Spray. Since the contract currently only has Daydream’s signatures on them, that means the title match cannot go ahead. Kyoraku Kyomei will keep the contract for themselves to make sure it won’t take place until they say so!
When it comes to living her life, Wakana Uehara puts her full effort into everything that she wants to do. But lately she’s become interested in eating all of the rare delicacies she can find in the world. Things like crocodile feet, camel meat, tuna bone marrow or what she’s most interested in at the moment… wasp lava. She heard that wasp lava is soft, incredibly creamy and has a rich nuttiness that tastes great when cooked with rice. They can also taste like shrimp when deep fried and sprinkled with salt. When Uehara challenged Suzume for the International Princess Title, Suzume later made a tweet referencing The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Uehara promises to devour Suzume so much she will get a stomach ache but just like in The Very Hungry Caterpillar she will then turn into a beautiful butterfly in the end. Suzume joked that she’s been called delicious before because her outfits are bee and honey themed but this is the first time someone is threatening to fry her crispy. But she is too big to be eaten and her strong point is how she can beat opponents who are bigger than her.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ IN YOKOHAMA”, 13/06/2026 Yokohama Radiant Hall 273 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House
1. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Shion Kanzaki with the Shonandai Manji (6:52).
2. Toga & Uta Takami defeated HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida when Toga pinned Ashida with the Absolute Zero (10:03).
3. 3 Way Match: Mizuki defeated Pom Harajuku and Arisu Endo when Mizuki submitted Harajuku with a Southern Cross (7:22).
4. Suzume & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Wakana Uehara & Chika Nanase when Suzume pinned Nanase with the Ring A Bell (11:00).
5. Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Raku defeated Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Ren Konatsu when Misao pinned Konatsu with the Hypami Returns (14:55).
6. Yuki Arai, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated Miyu Yamashita, Sakura Hattori & Kira Summer when Arai submitted Summer with the Scorpion Death Lock (11:41).
Yuki Arai has advanced far enough that it’s now going to take more than Miyu Yamashita’s usual kicks to take her down. When Arai was going to give the Finally to Kira Summer, Yamashita ran in to kick her away. However Arai fired back with a Big Boot of her own to knock Yamashita away. With the coast cleared, Arai went on to give Summer the Full Nelson Buster and then the Scorpion Death Lock to win. After the match Arai said Yamashita kicked her so much today but in a month’s time Arai is going to win the Princess Of Princess Title match against her! On a lighter note, Haru Kazashiro joked that if you took the blue from her outfit and the red from Yuki Aino’s outfit then mix them together, you get Yuki Arai! The three of them (nicknamed YukiHaru Arai) then closed the show out by talking about the food in Yokohama’s Chinatown. Aino likes to eat fried rice together with white rice because both are often served at Ota Ward Gymnasium. However “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS” will not take place in that venue this year so she needs to find a place somewhere else to get them.
The Challenge Cancellation Community (aka Kyoraku Kyomei) have begun their protest over becoming the No. 1 Contenders for the Princess Tag Team Titles. Both Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao entered their match carrying signs saying they absolutely refuse Daydream’s challenge to them. Misao then got on the microphone to announce the tag title match has been cancelled. During today’s match they tied Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi to chairs at ringside. Daydream found ways to get into the ring while still tied to the chairs and break free. A fight broke out over one of the chairs, knocking the ref out in the process. Tatsumi grabbed the chair but missed Misao and hit Watanabe over the back by mistake. Raku then hit Tatsumi with the Diving Poppo Chop while Misao beat Ren Konatsu with the Hypami Retuns. After the match Daydream tore up the protest signs and later backstage they attacked Kyoraku Kyomei with sasumata poles again to try and convince them they did agree to the tag titles match.
Suzume & Mahiro Kiryu teamed up after previously being opponents over the International Princess Title. If there’s one thing Kiryu can take solace in from losing it’s she has played a part in making Suzume even stronger. Suzume says she now has a burning desire inside of her and Wakana Uehara got a sample of it today. However she wants to keep calm and beat Uehara at her own pace once the title is on the line. After getting a portion today, Uehara says Suzume tastes pretty sharp and slightly spicy. She describes Suzume as a high mountaint like Mt. Fuji or Mt. Everest. She has a month until the title match so she will train hard for it and cherish every attack she can throw at Suzume in the meantime. Fighting Suzume will be like eating a 10kg portion of food so she needs to prepare for a meal of that size.
There will be a show on 29th August called “BECOMING” and it will be held at TOKYO SQUARE IN Itabayashi. The concept of the show will be every match only has wrestlers who debuted from 2023 onwards. Tokyo Joshi Pro has ten wrestlers from their roster announced for the show.

6. Miu Watanabe Vs Hyper Misao
7. Yuki Arai & Ren Konatsu Vs Miyu Yamashita & Shion Kanzaki
After passing her first year in pro wrestling, Ren Konatsu is being rewarded with a main event spot teaming up with Yuki Arai! However Shion Kanzaki is only six months into her career though and she’s in the same spot teaming with Miyu Yamashita so who is to say which is the better reward for the respective amount of time in the business.
The two singles matches underneath could end up being previews for a non-existent match down the line. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao don’t have a problem with wrestling Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi under normal circumstances but they’re not so enthusiastic over the reason why the these matches are happening here.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ FINAL”, 27/06/2026 Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
It’s a champions versus challengers 8-Woman Tag Match once again.
DDT “CHARISMANIA IV”, 02/07/2026 Shinjuku FACE
1. Special Single Match: MJ Paul Vs Ryunosuke Nagai
2. O-40 Title – 3 Way Match: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa Vs Keisuke Ishii
The further Daisuke Sasaki moves on from Best Of The Super Jr. the better. At least he doesn’t have to think about the tournament again for another 14 years. Now he can think about defending the O-40 Title with two opponents now chosen for the next title bout. Shuji Ishikawa and Keisuke Ishii both fit the bill so Sasaki will be fighting both in a 3 Way Match.
Ryunosuke Nagai is the 29 year old son of Mitsuya Nagai. He his pro debut last December and is showing up to “CHARISMANIA IV” for a match against MJ Paul.
The remaining lineup of the show at the moment is Hideki Okatani, Ilusion, Minoru Fujita, Yasu Urano, Sangre Aztca Jr. and Naohiro Katsumi.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26”, 18/07/2026 Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Aja Kong Vs Arisu Endo
2. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Wakana Uehara
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita
We’re approaching the match that will either break the cycle or just start it all over again. Yuki Arai will be next defending the Princess Of Princess Title against Miyu Yamashita. In recent memory Yamashita once beat Arai in just over a minute but Arai then got to make Yamashita tap out in a 6 Way No. 1 Contender’s match that eventually led Arai to becoming the champion. With that said, Arai does not feel like she can call herself the true champion unless she can beat Yamashita one on one. Yamashita is coming into this match having just won the EVE International Title in England. Doing that made her want to win back the Princess Title even more. Is there no end to her insatiable desire for winning that championship again?!?
Last year’s “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS” had Kyoraku Kyomei beating Daydream in a defence of the Princess Tag Team Titles. This time around Daydream are the champs and they want a rematch at the show to avenge that defeat. The only problem is Kyoraku Kyomei do not want to challenge for the belts right now because they do not feel it is the right time to do so. They couldn’t win the titles in Las Vegas earlier this year and they don’t feel ready to climb that mountain again this soon. Daydream wants the match to happen anyway and it looks like they got their way. Protests from Nakajima & Misao may be on the way unless something happens to change their minds.
There’s no such trepidation in regards to the International Princess Title match though. Wakana Uehara is hungry to become the champion and isn’t shy about making puns about her appetite when it comes to challenging Suzume for the championship.
DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026”, 11/08/2026 Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan
1. Hinata Kasai 1st Anniversary Debut Match ~ Special Tag Match: Jun Kasai & Hinata Kasai Vs X & X
2. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Time Delayed Entry Battle Royal: Daichi Sato (c) Vs X
3. Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & X Vs Antonio Honda & X
4. Dramatic Dream Match: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Kaisei Takechi
It is only a matter of time until Hinata Kasai gets to team up with his dad Jun Kasai. It’s going to happen right when he celebrates the end of his first year as a pro wrestler. In the meantime, Hinata made it his goal to get his first direct win in a match before this show takes place.
