Back in March former Dragon Gate wrestler Kotoka reemerged after a multiple year long absence away from the ring to be a part of Kazuki Hirata’s 15th Anniversary show. Then he sort of disappeared again but now he’s back to wrestle on a Super Japan show. Wrestling hasn’t been his priority in years because he has a career managing many, many gyms across Tokyo and Osaka (he currently has 24 gyms according to his Instagram account) so he is now going to use the name Gym Leader Kotoka, at least for this match. Kotoka will be part of a “Dragon Gene” tag team with Mac Matsushita to take on the super indie tag team of monk wrestler Fuminori Abe and Filipino wrestler Bryan Ishizaka.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ADDITIONAL ATTACK ’25”, 18/10/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Yuna Manase & Toga
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Aino

It’s all new champions across Tokyo Joshi Pro and two of them have defences lined up for the October Korakuen Hall show. Miu Watanabe is putting the newly won Princess Of Princess Title on the line against Yuki Aino in order to see how much passion Aino can bring to the match.

Yuna Manase & Toga were already the next challengers for the Princess Tag Team Titles and now they will face Ober Eats instead of Kyoraku Kyomei. The dynamic to watch out for here is how Yuki Kamifuku and Yuna Manase will fight each other. They used to team together as Cat’s Pye and one of Kamifuku’s failed attempts to win the tag titles came from that team.

The first show will consist of “Team TJ” wrestlers and the second show will have “Team PW” wrestlers. Miyu Yamashita is on neither because she will be touring overseas during that period. Both shows will have around 4 or 5 matches each.

GANBARE☆PRO “LES AMANTS DU PONT-NEUF 2025” Results

September 16, 2025

GANBARE☆PRO “LES AMANTS DU PONT-NEUF 2025”, 15/09/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
149 Fans

1. Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Sentaro Motoshima with (9:09).
2. Moeka Haruhi & Makoto defeated YuuRI & Misa Kagura when Haruhi submitted Kagura ith the 79.5MHz 2.0 (9:36)
3. Takumi Tsukamoto & Takeru Inoue defeated Mizuki Watase & Shota Kawakami when Tsukamoto pinned Kawakami with the Brainbuster Slam (13:06).
4. Tyson Maeguchi defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with a Buzzsaw Kick (13:06).
5. GanPro Vs FREEDOMS: Takashi Sasaki, Toru Sugiura & Dragon Libre defeated Yumehito Imanari, Keisuke Ishii & Yuna Manase when Sasaki pinned Manase with a Lariat (15:21).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title Next Challenger Decision Match: Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Ken Ohka by Referee Stoppage with the Triple Three 3 Lock (23:52).

There was a dispute over who the No. 1 Contender for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title but now it is clear. Masaaki Mochizuki’s original nominee Shuichiro Katsumura beat Ken Ohka to earn the title shot. The ref was forced to stop the match when Ohka was trapped in the Triple Three 3 Lock but wouldn’t (or couldn’t) give up. After the match Katsumura spoke about how much he’s looked up to Ohka for the last ten years because Ohka protected Ganbare☆Pro from all invaders. In that time more people joined GanPro and became strong enough to do their part in protecting the company. Ohka was fired up from the speech and promised to continue leading GanPro for as long as there are people who will follow him.

Emotions over the GanPro Vs FREEDOMS feud are getting even hotter. The match didn’t even start when the two teams started fighting each other. The FREEDOMS side won thanks to Takashi Sasaki pinning Yuna Manase with a Lariat but the fighting continued after the match had ended. When things started looking too dangerous, YuuRI showed up to protect Manase from Sasaki. His taunting also made her mad enough to spray him in the face. He still declared while leaving that FREEDOMS had successfully taken over the GanPro ring.

GanPro also have attacks from BASARA to worry about. When Takumi Tsukamoto’s team won in Match #3, Mizuki Watase held up his Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Title at him and said he wants to defend the belts against BASARA wrestlers. He then said he and Shigehiro Irie can face Tsukamoto and Ryota Nakatsu for their next title defence on 27th September! Tsukamoto liked the idea but did not agree to it straight away because he will need to check with Nakatsu first.

When the show had ended, YuuRI & Manase went back to the ring to rally the fans. YuuRI said she doesn’t want to be limited to the Ganbre☆Joshi division because she wants to join the fight against FREEDOMS! Sasaki and his team overheard her and came up with an idea. Both promotions are busy running their own shows on 20th September but Shin-Kiba 1st RING recently informed him that they have a slot vacant for 16th October. So let’s have the two sides take part in a full scale battle that day! Every match will be FREEDOMS Vs GanPro and Sasaki can even organize it to have the FREEDOMS fans fill up one side of the building and the GanPro fans fill up the other side. Michiyoshi Mishima agreed to the idea but started having doubts when Sasaki told him the FREEDOMS side will include Jun Kasai and Mammoth Sasaki. However Manase and YuuRI are both excited to finally join the fight.

Moeka Haruhi announced she will miss the next several shows to rest and take care of her physical health.

GANBARE☆PRO “MIZUKI WATASE 10TH ANNIVERSARY – IT’S A SUMMER FILM 2025” Results

August 26, 2025

GANBARE☆PRO “MIZUKI WATASE 10TH ANNIVERSARY – IT’S A SUMMER FILM 2025”, 26/08/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
707 Fans

1. Sentaro Motoshima Debut Match: Rukiya, Kazumasa Yoshida & Takeru Inoue defeated Munetatsu Nakamura, Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motoshima when Yoshida submitted Motoshima with a Crab Hold (11:29).
2. Yuna Manase & YuuRI defeated Moeka Haruhi & Hanako Nakamori when YuuRI pinned Haruhi with the Swanton Bomb (7:48).
3. GanPro Vs FREEDOMS: Takashi Sasaki, Toru Sugiura & Dragon Libre defeated Ken Ohka, Shuichiro Katsumura & Shinichiro Tominaga when Sugiura pinne Tominaga with the Swift Driver (8:26).
4. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Takuya Wada defeated Fuminori Abe, MAO & Tyson Maeguchi when Ishii pinned Maeguchi with the High-Angle Double Arm DDT (9:12).
5. Double Main Event I ~ Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki defeated Yumehito Imanari (c) with a Dragon Suplex (12:49).
*Yumehito Imanari fails in V6. Masaaki Mochizuki becomes the 9th Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Champion!
6. Double Main Event II ~ Mizuki Watase 10th Anniversary Match – Fluorescent Lighttube Death Match: Jun Kasai defeated Mizuki Watase with the Cross-Arm Stimulation (19:24).

To celebrate ten years of being a pro wrestler Mizuki Watase dared to challenge Jun Kasai to a Lighttube Death Match. The reason for this was in 2016 Watase challenged Kasai to a Hardcore match at a DNA show and in the aftermath Watase wanted to challenge Kasai to a rematch with death match rules! The two lived up to their promise and Kasai quipped about how these matches aren’t easy while he was cutting up Watase with the lighttubes. He also dug some skewers into Watase’s head then sat down on a chair asking Watase to give the fans something exciting to watch. Watase then dug a bunch of skewers into Kasai’s head. Watase kicked out of the Pearl Harbor Splash as well as a Headbutt through lighttubes and also the Reverse Tiger Driver. Kasai had to pull out the Cross-Arm Stimulation Piledriver to finally get the three count on Watase.

After the match Kasai told fans the story about their DNA match. At the time he turned down the rematch because he didn’t want to see a young wrestler like Watase rush through his life. But Kasai is 50 now and is hitting his ceiling. He completely forgot about the death match request until Watase approached him to remind him of it. It impressed Kasai that Watase remembered it in a world where there are people who easily break promises to others. Since 23rd August is the anniversary of Watase’s pro wrestling debut, Kasai declared that 26th August will become the anniversary of Watase’s death match debut! When Watase heard that he quickly came up with a request to wrestle at the FREEDOMS show in Korakuen Hall happening in two days time. His request was accepted so Watase then called over to Michiyoshi Mishima and asked him to get Ganbare☆Pro four dates at Korakuen for next year instead of just three. Watase closed the show telling everyone that so many people had helped him in his first ten years. With the start of his eleventh year it is now his turn to help others.

Yumehito Imanari’s reign as Spirit Of Ganbare World Champion has come to an end at the hands of Masaaki Mochizuki. Everything that worked for Imanari in his recent matches from Lariats to Tiger Drivers to Lou Thesz Presses couldn’t put the Dragongate wrestler away. He was able to kick out of the Twister at one but and also block the Triangle Kick with a Lariat but a missed charge led to Mochizuki pinning Imanari with a Dragon Suplex. Mochizuki said he expected to win more easily but he understands how carrying the weight of a promotion on your shoulders makes you stronger. He then said as the new champion he is open to any challenge but he already has a first opponent in mind, Shuichiro Katsumura! However when Katsumura accepted the challenge, Ken Ohka entered the ring pleading to challenge Mochizuki first. Mochizuki called him stupid because he already beat Ohka back in April. He then said out loud that Ohka would at least need to beat Katsumura first to be considered for a title shot. Ohka took that statement to heart and said he will fight Katsumura and the winner will become Mochizuki’s first challenger!

The GanPro and FREEDOMS teams kept brawling with each other after Match #3 ended. That included Yuna Manase who was at ringside as GanPro’s flag bearer.

The debuting rookie Sentaro Motoshima is feeling nothing but regret over how his first match went. He knew he had a high wall to climb but he wanted to win and instead he tapped out to a Crab Hold. But he has an image of what kind of pro wrestler he wants to be. Since Munetatsu Nakamura and Shota Kawakami use flashy moves, Motoshima wants to go the opposite direction and wrestle a strong style similar to Riki Choshu or Genichiro Tenryu.

2. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Miu Watanabe

The Princess and The Monster are going to war over the Princess Of Princess Title again! Miu Watanabe has won this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup and has quickly marked Mizuki so she can take back the title she lost to her on 4th January.

A second chance has also been given to Ober Eats because they are going to challenge Kyoraku Kyomei for the Princess Tag Team Titles again. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao were victorious when the two teams clashed in Las Vegas this past April but Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara have grown as a tag team since then. Uehara even has a pinfall win over Misao which is what got Ober Eats the rematch.

Priscilla Kelly returns to Tokyo Joshi Pro on this show for the first time since 2018.

Mizuki Watase’s 10th Anniversary show is now playing more into the summer rivalry between Ganbare☆Pro and FREEDOMS. Watase was warned by the FREEEDOMS side that his work in GanPro is too amateur for him to be prepared for a Lighttube Death Match with Jun Kasai. However he is confident that he can beat Kasai in a normal match so isn’t scared to fight him in a more dangerous environment.

The trainee Sentaro Motoshima has earned his debut spot on the show. He is being added to the rookies match that was already on the card with another extra wrestler to be announced once it has been decided who it shall be. Motoshima was born in Kagoshima on 4th October, 2001. He is 167cm tall and weighs 74kg. He has a background in basketball and volleyball. He also participates in strength training as a hobby.

-. Exhibition Match: Yumehito Imanari Vs Sentaro Motoshima ended in a Time Limit Draw (5:00).

The first battle in this summer feud between Ganbare☆Pro and FREEDOMS goes to GanPro! They were the home team for today’s main event but the visitors aren’t going to take defeat lying down. After Mizuki Watase pinned Daisuke Masaoka for the victory, Takashi Sasaki told the GanPro team not to let their guard down because this rivalry has only just begun. The next inter-promotional match will be at a FREEDOMS show in Shuichiro Katsumura’s hometown of Yokohama on 17th August. Sasaki promised he will embarrass Katsumura in front of his own people! He then told Watase that GanPro’s “amateur” training cannot prepare him for a Fluorescent Lighttube Death Match with Jun Kasai on 26th August. Ken Ohka defended Watase by saying everybody has a first time for everything! Watase and nobody else in GanPro for that matter are going to fight FREEDOMS with the intention of losing. Watase then said if it he was just going to have a normal rules match with Kasai he would definitely beat him right now! He is going to put everything he’s learned during his 10 year career into this match so don’t underestimate him.

The Ken Ohka Vs Thanomsak Toba was put together as a tribute for the late Tomohiko Hashimoto. Both wrestlers spoke about their memories of him after the match.

The GanPro trainee Sentaro Motoshima was given plenty of chances to do stuff in the ring today. At the start of the show he had a five minute exhibition match with Ken Ohka. The intent of the match was to last the full five minutes so it continued even though Ohka made Motoshima submit to a Crab Hold halfway through. Ohka criticised Motoshima after the match by telling him he did no good and has to try harder. Yumehito Imanari joined in and told Motoshima he is taking his debut match set for 26th August for granted which means he is also underestimating GanPro as a whole. Imanari then decided that Motoshima would have an exhibition match with him at the end of the show!

The bonus exhibition did go ahead after the FREEDOMS team made their exit. Imanari attacked Motoshima with a chair leading to them fighting out in the crowd. Back in the ring Motoshima escaped from a Crab Hold and kept Imanari back with Dropkicks until the time expired. The bell rang but the two continued fighting for another two minutes. When they finally stopped, Imanari asked the audience if they could understand Motoshima’s feelings and if he deserves to have make his pro debut? The audience applauded his efforts. Imanari told him pro wrestling is tough and scares him because he has seen so many people get injured but the determination to overcome those fears is why he is here with Ohka supporting GanPro. For the last 12 years they’ve been waiting for a guy like Motoshima to join them. Ohka confirmed the debut is going ahead and he advised the trainee never to forget to be grateful to the fans.

During the show Michiyoshi Mishima announced more matches for the 26th August Korakuen Hall show. MAO is coming to GanPro to team with Fuminori Abe & Tyson Maeguchi to take on Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Takuya Wada. Also the Ganbare☆Joshi match for the show will be Yuna Manase & YuuRI Vs Moeka Haruhi & Hanako Nakamori.

GanPro also announced that their next Korakuen show after August will be on 27th December.

GANBARE☆PRO “WILD AT HEART 2025” Results

July 19, 2025

GANBARE☆PRO “WILD AT HEART 2025”, 19/07/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
172 Fans

0. Exhibition Match: Ken Ohka Vs Sentaro Motoshima went to a Time Limit Draw (5:00).
1. Moeka Haruhi & Yuna Manase defeated Makoto & Chika when Manase pinned Chika with the Lariat (9:16).
2. Tyson Maeguchi defeated Shota Kawakami with the Ago Shitsurei Itashimasu (8:33).
3. YuuRI defeated Mio Shirai with the Swanton Bomb (10:15).
4. Shuichiro Katsumura & Takuya Wada defeated Keisuke Ishii & Leatherface when Katsumura pinned Ishii with the KKB (11:40).
5. Masaaki Mochizuki & Ken Ohka defeated Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga when Mochizuki pinned Tominaga with the Twister (14:00).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Mizuki Watase & Shigehiro Irie (c) defeated Toru Sugiura & Munetatsu Nakamura when Watase pinned Nakamura with the Venetian (19:03).
*V5 for Mizuki Watase & Shigehiro Irie.

Toru Sugiura & Munetatsu Nakamura wanted to be a big deal going into the main event so they made their entrance by driving a car into Shin-Kiba 1st RING! In the preview match last month Mizuki Watase used an Arm Lock submission he named the NAGISA to take Nakamura to the brink of injury. He used the move on Nakamura again in this match but this time Nakamura was able to escape it. He tried to gain some momentum on Watase but Shigehiro Irie was there to stop that from happening. Watase had to beat the determination out of Nakamura before he could get a three count with the Venetian. He bowed after the match to show respect but Nakamura was in such an emotional state he slapped Watase in response. Watase took it in his stride and told the fans Nakamura is a talent that Ganbare☆Pro is proud of. However Watase wants GanPro to grow and fill bigger buildings than Shin-Kiba. He will be facing Jun Kasai at Korakuen Hall on 26th August to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his debut. He believes when he beats Kasai it will blow up GanPro to even greater heights!

Sugiura also had praise to give Nakamura backstage. As far as he sees it, Nakamura is no longer Young Ganbare or the future of GanPro. He is a star for GanPro now! Nakamura agrees because new rookies have arrived and he does not want to be lumped in with them. He wants to continue teaming with Sugiura so they can go win the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles together.

The first time Masaaki Mochizuki & Ken Ohka have teamed up could not have gotten any better for them. When their tag match broke down into chaos, Ohka went and gave Shinichiro Tominaga the Flame Spear and Mochizuki finished him off with the Twister Brainbuster. With a 100% victory record (they’ve only had one match) Ohka thinks the two of them can go straight into challenging for the SOG Tag Titles. Mochizuki couldn’t believe it is that easy to challenge for a title in GanPro but he decided the team isn’t going to work out and he declined the offer. The reason is because Mochizuki has his eyes on a bigger prize. He wants to fight Yumehito Imanari for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title! Imanari quickly agreed to it and Michiyoshi Mishima was overjoyed to book the match for 26th August as long as Dragongate gives him permission. Mochizuki assured him that they don’t have a show that day so he is 99.999999% certain they will approve it.

Keisuke Ishii took a big risk in teaming with Leatherface and it blew up in his face. They ended up getting in each other’s way once too often and Leatherface ended up attacking Ishii instead of the other team! When the monster left the ring in anger, Shuichiro Katsumura picked up the pieces and pinned Ishii to win.

It was a big day for YuuRI because not only did she wrestle in a new outfit but she defeated Mio Shirai all by herself too. The result completely rips up the plan Shirai had to stay in GanPro. Had she won the match she would have thrown out a challenge to anyone in the promotion to fight her at Korakuen on 26th August. But in the aftermath of losing today’s match she hasn’t received any further booking offers from GanPro. She doesn’t want to believe it because GanPro is built on losers getting second chances. She wonders if she needs to go have a talk with Ohka to get another booking.

The name of Tyson Maeguchi’s finisher is a phrase that’s normally used to politely asked to be excused. The actual move is a Pumping Knee Strike to the face and there’s not really a polite way to do that.

There was a public exhibition involving the trainee Sentaro Motoshima before the show began. He fought a five minute practice match with Ohka where the aim was simply to last the time limit rather than win or lose. Motoshima still tried to pin Ohka after giving him a Body Slam but only got a one count out of it. Ohka then did a Body Slam of his own and held Motoshima in a Crab Hold until the time expired.

GanPro’s sort of friendly rivalry with FREEDOMS is not ending here. At the end of the show Takashi Sasaki confronted Ohka and Katsumura telling them there is still a lot to happen between the two groups. He likes the inter-promotional matches and wants more to help liven up the indies. There will be GanPro Vs FREEDOMS matches taking place on the 11th August GanPro show, the 17th August FREEDOMS show and the 26th August Korakuen show.

Nao Kakuta will be at Yoshiko Hasegawa’s graduation show as a special guest commentator. Another special guest will be Teppei Arita, a Japanese comedian who has written several books about pro wrestling and also hosts his own Youtube series about current stories from around the industry. In fact Hasegawa was interviewed on a recent episode that was uploaded last week.

BASARA “BASARA 283 ~UTAGE~”, 08/07/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Daiki Shimomura Vs Takeru Inoue
2. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Gouma Ryu Vs Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga
3. Daichi Kazato & Munetatsu Nakamura Vs SAGAT & Minoru Fujita
4. Isami Kodaka & Ryota Nakatsu Vs Takumi Tsukamoto & Takato Nakano
5. Ryuichi Sekine, FUMA & Ayumu Honda Vs Masato Kamino, Lil’ Kraken & Fuminori Abe

Last month Ayumu Honda joined forces with Hyakusho Ikki even though he didn’t really want to. Blame Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi for that. We’ll see how much of a united force they can be in a few days time.

GANBARE☆PRO “WILD AT HEART 2025”, 19/07/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Moeka Haruhi & Yuna Manase Vs Makoto & Chika
2. YuuRI Vs Mio Shirai
3. Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Masaaki Mochizuki & Ken Ohka
4. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Mizuki Watase & Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs Toru Sugiura & Munetatsu Nakamura

High hopes are fueling Toru Sugiura & Munetatsu Nakamura’s challenge for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles. Nakamura would have gotten injured by Mizuki Watase last month if it wasn’t for Sugiura throwing in the towel. Watase gets needing to preserve yourself for the big title match but he and Shigehiro Irie want the challengers to not say die once the actual match takes place.

Bad tension is building up between YuuRI and Mio Shirai. Will it spill over into something worse when they have their singles match?

Chika is coming over from Pro Wrestling Evolution.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25”, 21/07/2025
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Andreza Giant Panda & Raku Vs Kyoko Inoue & Pom Harajuku
2. Special Tag Match: El Desperado & Maki Itoh Vs Chris Brookes & Emi Sakura
3. Special Single Match: Miyu Yamashita Vs Billie Starkz
4. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Moka Miyamoto
5. Princess Tag Team Titles: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe
6. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Yuki Arai

What’s the most chaotic pair of opponents you can find for Chris Brookes & Emi Sakura? How about El Desperado & Maki Itoh! The two originally met in America while working the same GCW show and have been tweeting back and forth for a while about teaming up. Now looks like the perfect time to make it happen. Itoh wants Desperado to learn the Itoh Respect Army dance for their entrance. He didn’t expect that to be part of the deal.

TJPW say a health issue is preventing Max The Impaler from participating at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25” so Pom Harajuku needs a new tag team partner. Luckily for her TJPW has decided to bring in Kyoko Inoue as the replacement! The joshi legend currently wrestles for Diana, a promotion that just so happened to join the UJPW recently so I wonder if that new connection helped put this deal together.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GARAFES DASH!! ~UENO KITEKITE DAI SAKUSEN~”, 26/07/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Miu Watanabe, Haru Kazashiro & Uta Takami Vs Yuki Arai, Raku & Shino Suzuki

Yuki Arai will wrestle at a Garafes show for the first time.

BASARA “BASARA 285 ~CONTINUATION IS POWER~”, 03/08/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. GRACE PROJECT Sponsored Match: Toru Sugiura, Captain Grace, Shigehiro Irie & Daiki Shimomura Vs Tomoya Hirata, Mizuki Watase, Ultra Soki & HIROYA
2. Special Tag Match: Isami Kodaka & El Desperado Vs Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino
3. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs X

A couple of weeks after Despy appears in TJPW he will then show up in BASARA to team with Isami Kodaka. The two of them were specifically put together for Aijin Tag to fight against.

The Grace Group bus company have their own independent wrestling promotion called GRACE PROJECT. They don’t really have their own roster, save for Captain Grace who is the man in charge of the whole thing. Instead their shows are filled with indie wrestlers from across Japan including those who compete in BASARA. So a lot of familiar faces are showing up in their offer match for the show.

SUPER JAPAN “SANSHIRO TAKAGI 30TH ANNIVERSARY PROJECT ~SUPER JAPAN PRO WRESTLING HATAAGE-SEN”, 19/08/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Special Single Match: Yasu Urano Vs Mikiya Sasaki
2. Special Single Match: TAKA Michinoku Vs MIKAMI
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Brahman Yuji, Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei Vs Fuminori Abe, Takuya Nomura & Ippanjin Munenori Sawa

Looks like Sanshiro Takagi and The Brahman Brothers are going to get their way. For one night Yuji Nagata is going to become Brahman Yuji! That’s bad news for Astronauts and Munenori Sawa because Nagata does look like he has a good bowling arm.

What can I write about a Yasu Urano Vs Mikiya Sasaki match? Nothing much.

Kuroshio TOKYO Japan will also be on the show.

GANBARE☆PRO “BLUE VELVET 2025” Results

June 22, 2025

GANBARE☆PRO “BLUE VELVET 2025”, 22/06/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
196 Fans

1. Ken Ohka & Choun-Shiryu defeated Shinichiro Tominaga & Ali Najima when Ohka pinned Najima with the Flame Spear (9:05).
2. Keisuke Ishii defeated Shota Kawakami with a Knee Drop (6:40).
3. GanPro Ultimate Rules: Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Thanomsak Toba by Referee Stoppage with a Body-locking Sleeper Hold (2:20).
4. Yoshiko Hasegawa’s Last Ganbare☆Pro Wrestling Match: Moeka Haruhi, Yuna Manase & Banny Oikawa defeated YuuRI, Yoshiko Hasegawa & Riara when Manase pinned Hasegawa with the Suzuki Dynamic (12:22).
5. Mizuki Watase defeated Munetatsu Nakamura by TKO when Watase used the NAGISA on Nakamura and Toru Sugiura threw in the towel (12:54).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Yumehito Imanari (c) defeated Tyson “Ultimate” Maeguchi with the Power Bomb (12:36).
*V5 for Yumehito Imanari.

Given that Tyson “Ultimate” Maeguchi is digging deep into his combat sports roots he aimed to beat Yumehito Imanari by knockout. But Imanari’s faith in pro wrestling won out in the end. He was reminded of the time Keiji Muto fought Don Frye and Muto said he had no choice but to prepare for his Frye’s punches. Imanari was able to beat the 10 counts, block Maeguchi’s punches and drop him with a Power Bomb to get the win in the end. Imanari gave praise to Maeguchi after the match for being who he wants to be, which is a goal of Ganbare☆Pro. He found a way to mix together kickboxing with pro wrestling and take it all over the indies. Imanari brought up that they recently wrestled a match together at a okonomiyaki restaurant in Suidobashi. He congratulated Maeguchi on becoming a real kickboxing pro wrestler and told him they should wrestle each other in that restaurant again.

Mizuki Watase kept taunting Munetatsu Nakamura with the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Title belt which fired Nakamura up for to fight him. Watase taunted him again by screaming Nakamura will never win the belt like this. He put Nakamura in a Front Neck Lock with an Arm Lock added on but Nakamura wouldn’t give up. His tag partner Toru Sugiura threw in a towel from ringside to forfeit the match. Nakamura complained about it but Sugiura explained afterward, asking him what if he broke his arm? If it was a title match he’d understand losing one or two arms behind but it’s not worth doing it for this match. Watase understood Sugiura’s point and told both of them to bring this same feeling with them for the title bout next month. Sugiura & Nakamura promised that when they win the SOG Tag Titles they will be all over Shukan Puroresu and Wrestle Universe!

All of the Ganbare☆Joshi division gathered together for Yoshiko Hasegawa’s final match in GanPro before she retires from pro wrestling. Riara returned to GanPro for the occasion and even HARUKAZE showed up to be the ring announcer. Hasegawa got to start off the match with Moeka Haruhi. Then YuuRI & Riara helped beat down Yuna Manase so Hasegawa could put her in the Muffler Hold but Banny Oikawa cut her off. Manase was able to get the pin on Hasegawa by giving her the Suzuki Dynamic, a move she hasn’t used for a while in GanPro. After the match Manase said she was so nervous about today that she forgot her wrestling boots and had to borrow Ken Ohka’s boots for the match. She told Hasegawa she will always be a part of GanJo as long as she keeps trying. So if she doesn’t feel like trying anymore she will always be allowed to come back and wrestle matches to find her strength again. Hasegawa then surprised Manase with a roll up and everyone else did a three count so they could all call Hasegawa the winner.

Ken Ohka has been inspired recently by Masaaki Mochizuki challenging for the Open The Dream Gate Title at the age of 55 years old. He wants to put the message out there that he would like to team with Mochizuki for a match on 19th July.

In his post-show comments, Imanari brought up that today has been a busy day for the Ibushi Wrestling Institute. He and Maeguchi fought each other in GanPro, Kota Ibushi returned to AEW and shootboxer Yukimitsu Takahashi won his fight today. So in Imanari’s mind today was like a birthday for the Ibushi Wrestling Institute.
