Shivam is a wrestler I’ve written about a lot in the DDT Around The World articles for a good while now whenever a DDT wrestler travelled over to compete on SETUP shows. DDT finally gets to return the favour although wouldn’t Shivam fit in more with DAMNATION T.A rather than against them, given the whole REAL GLOBAL THREAT gimmick?

BASARA “BASARA 319 ~UTAGE AOI – SOUEN~”, 27/10/2026

It’s a little suspicious how Shota Nakagawa suddenly just showed up in BASARA one day to take part in the IRON FIST Tag Tournament so I’m not surprised he’s ending up in court next. What do Banana Senga and Gouma Ryu have on him?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION” Results

October 14, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 14/10/2026
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi
202 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Next Generation Tournament ’26 – Round 1: Shion Kanzaki defeated Chieri Sakimori with the Midnight Blues (5:13).
2. MIRAI defeated Momo Sato with the Lariat (8:15).
3. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi/Great Wakabayashi-kun defeated Pom Harajuku and HIMAWARI when Wakabayashi-kun pinned HIMAWARI with the Great Wakabayashi-kun Bomb (8:50).
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Zac (Battle Mode) defeated Shoko Nakajima & Pokotan when Kamifuku pinned Pokotan after the Zac And Famouser (13:28).
5. Suzume & Arisu Endo Vs Haru Kazashiro & Uta Takami ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).

Has Daisy Monkey met its match from the new generation? Haru Kazashiro & Uta Takami have already found their own tag partners among the Tokyo Joshi Pro senpais but they got to show they could be something of an effective tag team together if their paths had gone different directions. The two of them were able to fight Daisy Monkey to a twenty minute time limit draw. Suzume and Takami were the ones fighting each other in the final moments and even though the bell rang to end the match, Takami still went and put Suzume in the Koala Clutch thinking it wasn’t over yet. Suzume understood Takami’s attitude and smiled at her instead of retaliating when they were broken up. Takami then got on the microphone to challenge Suzume for the International Princess Title. Suzume agreed because she wants to keep fighting Takami to a conclusive finish and she wants the title match to happen on 8th November. Arisu Endo then spoke to Kazashiro but resisted the urge to challenge her for the Princess Tag Team Titles. Endo admitted her back is a wreck right now and she doesn’t want to challenge for a championship until she is in 100% condition again. Kazashiro promised she will wait for Endo’s challenge but she already has a title defence set for 8th November.

Yuki Kamifuku had promised everyone that her pet dog Zac would activate Battle Mode and team up with her for a match. She carried Zac down to the ring for their entrance only to bring him back up to the stage. Then behind the curtain, Zac transformed into the Battle Mode, looking more pro wrestler like than his normal self. He’s still a dog though and was unaware of some of the usual actions one would do in a wrestling match. Shoko Nakajima got him to do a lock up by making him do the handshake trick with his paw. From that point Zac understood what to do and showed off a lucha libre type of agility. Kamifuku gave Zac instructions as the match progressed although at some points Zac got distracted, like when he ignored Kamiyu to go urinate on the corner post. Nakajima also distracted Zac with a dog toy but Zac made a Roman Reigns comeback by hitting a Superman Punch and a Spear. When Nakajima was outside the ring, Kamiyu threw the dog toy at her, causing Zac to dive through the ropes onto her. He then went back in an Kamifuku used him as a launch pad to do the Famouser on Pokotan for the win. Backstage she talked about how long Zac has looked after her, going far back to before her debut match. He’s an old dog now that’s been through a lot but also incredibly cool. She thinks TJPW has helped Zac become a fine gentleman too.

Things could have gotten out of hand quickly when Rika Tatsumi in her Great Wakabayashi-kun persona pulled out a fork weapon on HIMAWARI. Thankfully the ref discarded the weapon and Pom Harajuku got to intervene. Harajuku & HIMAWARI then lured Tatsumi into a wheeled cage near ringside, locking her in and spinning the cage around in circles. Wakabayashi-kun eventually escaped and grabbed her weapon again, this time turning it into a nunchuck to choke her opponents with. Both of her opponents started to choke her back out of instinct until all three wrestlers were down. Wakabayashi-kun was able to get the advantage from there and pin HIMAWARI with a Neck Hanging Bomb.

The current GHC Women’s Champion paid TJPW another visit, this time for a match against the youngest wrestler on the roster. MIRAI put Momo Sato through her paces but the rookie was able to show some power by Body Slamming her opponent and putting her in a Crab Hold. MIRAI got out of it and stayed on the defensive until she could trap Sato in the Sea Rider and then the Miraimare Shock submission holds. Sato got another Body Slam in and tried to pin MIRAI several times but a Lariat knocked her down and out in the end. MIRAI said she discovered a great “Peach” today and is looking forward to seeing her ripen until she becomes delicious enough to have a rematch.

The first round of the Next Generation Tournament is now complete. Shion Kanzaki moves onto the Winner’s Bracket after she made Chieri Sakimori tap out to the Midnight Blues. She will now face Ren Konatsu next with the winner advancing to the final. Kanzaki only has memories of losing to Kanzaki so she is determined to beat her this time. Sakimori said this was her first ever singles match and she had fun despite losing. She at least got to use her entrance song for the first time and hopes the fans will come to love it as much as they’ll love her. Sakimori moves down to the Loser’s Bracket for an all or nothing match against Momo Sato.

At the start of the show Rise Shirai brought the trainee Yui out to hype up her debut match on 8th November. She said she’ll give it her all and asks for the fans to support her.

5. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro (c) Vs Raku & Pom Harajuku
6. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima

Love Triangle by name, love triangle by nature. The first challengers for Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed are Raku & Pom Harajuku. The two of them have been very close with Yuki Aino for many years now with Aino at one time promising the three of them would somehow all hold the Princess Tag Team Titles at the same time. So now that Aino is champions with Haru Kazashiro, the pair known as RakuPom wants to know what gives? It will be Aino and her new love fighting against her old loves. Both the championships and Aino’s fiery heart will be on the line!

So not only are we getting the idol Shiori Futaba making her wrestling debut but TJPW will also be debuting their latest trainee Yui on the same show! I think they may have jumped the gun on holding the Next Gen Tournament right now because if they had waited a month they could have added two or even three more entries to it. All depends on if Futaba will be sticking around after her match.

279 Fans – Super No Vacancy Hull House

1. Next Generation Tournament ’26 – Round 1: Ren Konatsu defeated Momo Sato with the Shoulder Bites (6:58).
2. Mahiro Kiryu & Sakura Hattori defeated Rika Tatsumi & Chieri Sakimori when Hattori pinned Sakimori with the Rakkateicho (10:23).
3. Hyper Misao defeated Mifu Ashida with the Hypami Returns (7:06).
4. Suzume & HIMAWARI defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer when Suzume pinned Summer with the Ring A Bell (11:33).
5. Mizuki, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Yuki Aino, Haru Kazashiro & Chika Nanase when Raku pinned Aino with the Hurricane Turn (11:11).
6. Miyu Yamashita, Wakana Uehara & Toga defeated Yuki Arai, Arisu Endo & Shino Suzuki when Yamashita pinned Suzuki with the Attitude Adjustment (13:02).
7. Shoko Nakajima & Uta Takami defeated Miu Watanabe & Shion Kanzaki when Nakajima pinned Kanzaki with the Northern Lights Suplex (17:34).

Not even a year into her wrestling career and Shion Kanzaki already gets a homecoming show. She was given the main event spot, teaming up with Miu Watanabe. Kanzaki got to apply the Midnight Blues armbar on both Shoko Nakajima & Uta Takami but ultimately fell to Nakajima’s Northern Lights Suplex. After the match Nakajima told Kanzaki she grew up in an amazing place because the big wave and rock formation from the Toei Company opening logo is in the area and Nakajima got to visit it today! Kanzaki got to tell everyone how happy she is to wrestle in the main event against the senpais she admires so much. She promised to keep coming back to her home as a stronger wrestler over and over.

The antics of RakuPom unexpectedly got the better of Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed today. They stopped Yuki Aino from doing a Diving Shoulder Block then climbed up the ropes to her so the Love Triangle could all jump off together. RakuPom both hit diving attacks on Haru Kazashiro at the same time while Aino was in the middle of it unable to do anything. Aino was then stunned when Raku & Pom Harajuku suddenly told her they love her. After that, Raku pinned Aino with the Hurricane Turn. After the match Raku asked why is Aino holding the Princess Tag Team Titles with Kazashiro because she once said she would split the belts three ways with Raku & Harajuku? Kazashiro snapped back and said the belts are part of the love between her and Aino. She wanted Aino to explain what’s going on then decided Prism Greed will defend the Princess Tag Titles against RakuPom on 8th November. Not only will the tag titles be on the line but so too will Aino’s love!

The fourth annual Next Generation Tournament began with Ren Konatsu submitting Momo Sato with the Shoulder Bites. With it being a double elimiation tournament, Konatsu just has to win one more match to reach the final while Sato now has to climb up from the bottom without losing again. Konatsu said she has her sights set on winning the tournament and plans to win her next match in a decisive manner. Sato has to deal with her frustration from losing today and do her best in the next round.

As homecoming shows go in Tokyo Joshi Pro, today was one of the bigger experiments. TJPW collaborated with the Choshi Electric Railway to have a special train journey bringing fans from Choshi Station to Inuboh Station. Raku and Shino Suzuki were both on board the train as special guest conductors. Raku got to stamp tickets and give train trivia while Suzuki provided sightseeing commentary throughout the ride. Raku said her time there was like a dream while Suzuki thought it was fun to be a tour guide again after such a long time.

10. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) defeated Suzume with the Finally (21:51).
*V5 for Yuki Arai.

The bee has been kicked down to the ground. Yuki Arai continues her Princess Of Princess Title reign with a clean victory over Suzume, the current International Princess Champion. Suzume’s big moves to try and unseat the Princess Champ included a Flying Facebuster from the ring apron to the floor, the Hachinosu Eight Knot submission hold and Ring A Bell. When all of those failed, she resorted to Rolling Cradles but couldn’t pin Arai with them. Arai tried to submit Suzume with the Scorpion Death Lock but Suzume fought her way to grab a rope break. Eventually Arai got to throw Suzume down with the Full Nelson Buster and hit the Finally kick to get the victory and her fifth successful title defence.

Arai called Suzume a genuinely scary wrestler and she learned so many new sides to her through their matches together in the last few weeks. She’s happy to have somebody the same age as her become her rival. When Suzume left the ring, Shoko Nakajima got in and demanded Arai face her next so she can win the Princess Title from her. Arai remembers losing to Nakajima in the Tokyo Princess Cup so she accepted her challenge for 8th November. She raised the title high above Nakajima’s head, causing Nakajima to storm off. Arai then said she has gotten so big as champion she will go take down the Big Kaiju next! Meanwhile, Suzume backstage said she is now going to make the International Princess Title shine just as brightly as the Princess Title so Arai will want to fight her for it next time.

Today was the rude awakening that Daydream feared was coming. They lost the Princess Tag Team Titles to Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro! The lead up to the match had the champs bickering with each other like an old couple but they got back on the same page in time to take the title match seriously. However Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed were on great form as a team too and were constantly rescuing each other from harm’s way or cutting off the other team from doing the same. The gameplan worked out as Kazashiro trapped Miu Watanabe in the Izayoi hold on the ring apron while Aino made Rika Tatsumi submit to the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire Z. This now makes Aino a three time tag champion with a different tag partner every time. She said she isn’t surprised by the result because her team kept on believing in themselves. Kazashiro thinks it took more than luck to win because she chose this path with Aino and it was meant to be. She also dyed part of her hair from blue to red in order to show off her fighting spirit. Daydream cannot believe they lost the titles way before they could break the record for most defences. Watanabe feels like she’s woken up from a dream while Tatsumi swears it does not change that Daydream is the best team out there.

Let’s face it, the result of this was never in doubt. Especially since around 12 hours before this match happened, EVE announced Miyu Yamashita’s next appearance in England to defend the EVE International Title against Marina Shafir. Anyway, Yamashita successfully defended the belt here against Arisu Endo, knocking down her scrappy opponent with a running Skull Kick. The move didn’t come out of nowhere either. Endo went to do the Ju no Okite but Yamashita landed on her feet and flipped Endo upside down to give her the Wheelbarrow German Suplex instead. Endo kicked out of the Buzzsaw Kick and hit a Thrust Kick but that was what set up the Skull Kick finish. Yamashita said she anticipated Endo’s moves this time and had a built-in strategy ready for them, which is unusual for her to do. However that strategy went out the window when Endo got the first attack in so Yamashita fought the rest of the match just through sheer determination. Endo thinks getting to fight Yamashita for a title is proof that she’s gotten stronger. She also wants to speak up about everything she wants to do and turn her path into the most colorful journey imaginable.

Nakajima now has a chance of becoming a double singles champion because earlier in the show she retained the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title against the returning Zara Zakher. Nakajima did a Topé Suicida only for Zakher to fight fire with fire and immediately do the same move when Nakajima threw her back into the ring. Zakher then made the same mistake of rolling Nakajima back in so Nakajima could immediately hit her with a Topé Con Giro. Back in the ring Nakajima avoided the Control Z by landing on her feet and then got Zakher into the Locomotive Northern Lights Suplex to score her first defence of the All Asia Women’s Title. Nakajima said when she won this title in Thailand the cheers of the fans there left her with a wonderful memory so she wants to make this title the best it can possibly be. Zakher calls Tokyo Joshi Pro her home away from home and if the fans want her to be here, they just have to say it to TJPW.

It is a crazy enough sight to have Jushin Liger stand in a TJPW ring wearing a referee shirt. The craziness is amped up even more when the match he had to officiate was Hyper Misao against Mizuki. Before the match began, Misao told Liger that she is a superhero and the most honorable wrestler in TJPW while Mizuki is a bad person with a pitch black heart. Liger wanted to call the match fair and square, which meant he stopped Mizuki from using her Pico Pico Hammer as a weapon. Misao tried to do the Romero Special in front of Liger but couldn’t pull it off. Outside the ring Misao got on the Hypami Go but ran over Mahiro Kiryu with it after Mizuki got out of the way. Misao then tried to trap Mizuki in the ring apron but she escaped and hit under the ring while Misao unknowingly rolled up Liger into the corner post inside the apron. Mizuki then successfully lured Misao into crashing the Hypami-Go into Liger! More mishaps happened in the ring when Liger accidentally got sprayed in the eyes by Misao. Mizuki then missed the Pico Pico Hammer swing and hit Liger by mistake. She was able to frame Misao for it by passing the hammer to her so Liger saw Misao with hit. Misao complained that Liger wasn’t officiating the match properly so he hit her with the Palm Strike and put her in the Romero Special. Mizuki climbed the top rope to do the Diving Foot Stomp onto Misao while she was in the hold and Liger counted the pinfall. Liger said it’s been a while since he moved this much in the ring so he was impressed by the styles Misao and Mizuki showed off. He admitted he wanted to steal the show by doing the Romero Special but didn’t expect Mizuki to have the quick thinking to do a Double Stomp onto that and steal the spotlight for herself. Liger wouldn’t mind coming back to watch or even officiate TJPW matches more regularly.

Today was the last time VENYU would team up together and they got to right a wrong from the past. They’ve never won a tag match together in Ota Ward Gymnasium until today! They were joined by two members of O-MENZ for their entrance and then went on to beat Wakana Uehara & Toga. For once Toga got to experience what it’s like to be on the other side of a deadly Elbow Strike when VENY knocked her down with a loud one early in the match. Uehara tried her hardest to try and make Yuki Kamifuku submit to the Banana Pillow but a long struggle ended with Kamiyu getting the rope break. VENYU used the Magic Killer on Toga to get rid of her and Kamifuku went on to pin Uehara with the Diving Famouser. Kamifuku said she went into the match with the mindset that she absolutely won’t lose. It turned out the plan worked. VENY will keep that mindset for any future matches in TJPW. Uehara is coming to terms that this may actually be her last big match with Kamifuku before Kamifuku’s retirement at the end of the year. She’s going to cherish everything Kamiyu said to her in the ring today and move on forward.

O-MENZ were also involved in a big entrance for Match #4. They all danced for the combined entrance of Aja Kong, Sakura Hattori & Kumadori. Then for an added bonus Kong and Hattori joined the dance routine inside the ring! Meanwhile Kira Summer & Chika Nanase were there to learn from Chris Brookes. Summer took after him by mocking Hattori’s ninja posing. She also got to knock down Kong with a Shoulder Block after stomping on Kong’s foot to tip her off balance. Summer & Nanase were able to double team on Nanase but couldn’t do the same to Kong. She Back Suplexed Brookes away and then Double Shoulder Blocked the other two. Summer was able to delay Kong from using the steel can so she ended up hitting Hattori by mistake instead of Nanae. But Hattori survived a 2nd rope Diving Elbow from Nanase thanks to a rope break. Hattori fought out of Nanase’s finisher to stun her with an Enzuigiri and then hit the Sento Choryu for the pin while Kumadori held Brookes back from breaking it up. Kong joked her biggest challenge today was to not screw up the entance dance. Even though Brookes and his team lost he said he would like to team up with Summer & Nanase again. They can all go to DDT and fight for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles as the trio of “Normal Legs”, “Slightly Short Legs” and “Super Short Legs”.

The 3 Way Tag Match went ahead with no tag rules attached and the bottom rope loosened up in order for the mascots to get into the ring easier. Tama brought a kitchen knife to the ring but agreed to hand it over to Yukinori Matsui before the match began. It then got into a three way strike off with Pokotan and Minimo that ended in a stalemate. Pom Harajuku brought out a piece of merchandise that is a towel of both Tama and Tojojo then stomped on it to taunt Kiryu. Tama got its knife back but wasn’t eager to tag in when Kiryu needed its help. The other teams instead dragged Tama into the ring and attacked it until Kiryu tried to stop them. Finally Tama stepped in to Clothesline everyone. Kiryu held onto Raku for Tama to charge in but Raku moved and Tama instead stabbed Kiryu! Harajuku then pulled off Pokotan’s head and placed it over Raku only for Raku to use it for a Headbutt. Pokotan got its head back but Raku used the Doctor Yellow to twist it around before using the same move on Harajuku to get the win. She celebrated by dancing with Minimo in the ring.

The debut of Chieri Sakimori took place in Match #2 as part of a 6-Woman Tag Match. She started off fighting Shino Suzuki and Suzuki got to show her a “tour” of the arena while applying a Headlock. HIMAWARI carried Mifu Ashida on her shoulders to charge at the other team only for them to get out of the way. The two still got their hands on Momo Sato and made it a struggle for her to tag out. Shion Kanzaki focused on using her Side Armlock move which is now called the Midnight Blues. Most of Sakimori’s ring time was spent fighting HIMAWARI where she got a nearfall with a Cross Body Block. HIMAWARI got the better of her in the end by applying an elevated version of the Half Crab Hold for the submission victory. Sakimori felt she was able to go all out for her first match and showed what she is capable of. Sato is happy to already have her first junior below her and Kanzaki is confident the 2026 Class will build a great relationship together. When asked if there are any TJPW wrestlers she looks up to, Sakimori said she wants to be dazziling like Kamifuku and Uehara.

For the opening match both Uta Takami and Ren Konatsu were brought down to the ring on moving carts so they could wave to the crowd on the way to the ring. Only Arai got to use the same cart at the very end of the show. In the match itself, Konatsu got to slow down Takami enough to hit the Aries Comet and apply the Shoulder bite. Takami got out of it with a rope break and hit her own Missile Dropkick to Konatsu. She then applied the Koala Clutch, forcing Konatsu to collapse and submit. Konatsu was hoping to win before the Next Generation Tournament begins next week but she will just have to channel her frustration into that instead. Takami believes the opening match of the show is crucial and was happy the company left it to her to pull it off today.

After intermission had finished, Rise Shirai introduced everyone to Shiori Futaba from the idol group Congrazie! Futaba will be making her pro wrestling debut on 8th November. She promised everyone she will give it her all and show off her cool side in the ring.


Next Generation Tournament ’26

September 30, 2026

The fourth annual Next Generation Tournament is open to the members of Tokyo Joshi Pro who have debuted in 2025 or 2026. That means the field is made up of four wrestlers: Ren Konatsu, Shion Kanzaki, Momo Sato and the yet to debut Chieri Sakimori. Just like last year it will be a Double Elimination tournament so wrestlers would have to lose two matches in order to be knocked out of the running. The schedule is laid out for a final to take place where one wrestler only needs to win once while their opponent would have to beat them twice.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW FALL TOUR ~RAY OF HOPE IN SHINKIBA~” Results

September 14, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW FALL TOUR ~RAY OF HOPE IN SHINKIBA~”, 12/09/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
280 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. HIMAWARI defeated Shion Kanzaki with the Half Crab Hold (9:39).
2. Mizuki, Uta Takami & Mifu Ashida defeated Raku, Pom Harajuku & Chika Nanase when Mizuki pinned Nanase with the Diving Foot Stomp (9:02).
3. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Wakana Uehara & Momo Sato when Nakajima pinned Sato with an Inside Cradle (8:10).
4. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Shino Suzuki with the Famouser (9:20).
5. Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Toga defeated Yuki Aino, Haru Kazashiro & Ren Konatsu when Watanabe submitted Kazashiro with the Reverse Paradox (15:51).
6. Yuki Arai, Miyu Yamashita & Sakura Hattori defeated Suzume, Arisu Endo & Kira Summer when Yamashita pinned Summer with the Attitude Adjustment (17:27).

A fire has been lit up beneath Arisu Endo and it’s all because of Miyu Yamashita and the EVE International Title! She interrupted Yamashita’s victory speech after the main event to tell her she wants the two of them to be on equal footing. She’s beaten Yamashita the last time they had a singles match at last year’s Tokyo Princess Cup but that wasn’t enough to make her become her rival. So Endo now wants to win the EVE International Title from Yamashita in order to surpass her! Yamashita told Endo she is late because she’s had all these years to let her know how she feels. Just challenging her for the title isn’t enough to get on her level. Endo asserted herself and confirmed she will beat Yamashita and win the title from her. The two shook hands to confirm the match until Endo hit Yamashita with an Elbow Strike across the chin. Yamashita didn’t expect that and told her partners today is the first time she ever saw Endo have that look of determination on her face. The title match is set for “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII” at 3rd October.

While all of this was going on, Yuki Arai came to the conclusion that her current level isn’t good enough yet to beat Suzume based on how Suzume’s been wrestling against her lately. Watching Endo stand up to Yamashita right in front of her made Arai think she cannot afford to lose against wrestlers from her own generation. Sakura Hattori almost feels left out because the match announced for “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII” with her and Kira Summer in it has nothing at stake. However she made a guarantee to the fans that her match will not only be entertaining but also so intense it will make their eyes water! Backstage Endo admitted she doesn’t know much about EVE the British wrestling promotion or what value Yamashita’s championship has over there. She just thought the belt looked so cool when Yamashita came back to Japan with it. But if she wins the title she will go defend it in the UK even if she has to travel there by herself. She also denies ever hitting Yamashita with an Elbow Strike after the match.

Today felt like a breeze for Daydream. They were victorious over Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed in a 6-Woman Tag and know what to expect of their next challengers. They are well aware of what Yuki Aino brings to the table and Miu Watanabe felt Haru Kazashiro fought within her expectations. She noticed how dejected she looked after losing the match though and wants Kazashiro to step up for the Princess Tag Team Titles match next month. Rika Tatsumi agreed and thinks the only way Prism Greed can beat them is if they fight with a burning and fierce intensity. They need to stir up a storm instead of a breeze!

Shino Suzuki altered her tour guide spot for Yuki Kamifuku during their match. When she pointed over to her spot, she said it was the bright future of Kamiyu who is racing towards retirement while staying beautiful to the very end.

We are a few days away until “HYPE! 4” and Hyper Misao did something very rash. She had already completed her draft for the script but decided to wipe it clean and start again from scratch! She brought her laptop to the ring so she would type out her new script and left Shoko Nakajima to wrestle Wakana Uehara & Momo Sato by herself. Luckily for Nakajima, Misao finished her new draft midway through the match and got back to the ring to even the odds. The rookie Sato got the upper hand and gave Misao a Body Slam only for the pin to not count because Misao was not tagged in. Nakajima then rolled up Sato from behind for the three count, giving Kyoraku Kyomei the victory.

It was announced earlier in the day that Mizuki and Hyper Misao will face each other at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII” in a match that has Jushin Liger as the special guest referee! Misao is especially excited about it because she is also a masked wrestler with a cape like Liger is. She claims to always fight fair and square so she has high hopes that Liger’s officiating will meet her standards. Mizuki was baffled by the idea at first but has come around to thinking that Liger’s officiating will work out in her favor in the end. After all, she’s such a good girl while Misao is a villainous hero.

A brand new wrestlers will make her debut on “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII”. Chieri Sakimori is from Fukuoka and she discovered Tokyo Joshi Pro from attending the OCHA NORMA collab show that took place last December. She then took part in TJPW’s Women’s Pro Wrestling Camp that runs in their dojo several times a month and made the decision to become a pro wrestler.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP” Results

August 23, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 23/08/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
927 Fans

1. Shion Kanzaki defeated Momo Sato with an Arm Lock (5:09).
2. Sakura Hattori defeated Haru Kazashiro with the Kitcho Kagome (8:53).
3. Enjoy Summer To The Fullest! Bon Odori Dance Match: Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Hyper Misao, Mahiro Kiryu & Shino Suzuki when Aino submitted Suzuki with the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire (11:41).
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Sumire Natsu & Mifu Ashida when Kamifuku pinned Ashida with the Famouser (12:23).
5. HIMAWARI & Toga defeated Chika Nanase & Kira Summer when Toga submitted Nanase with the Modified Muffler Hold (12:41).
6. Mizuki, Mei Suruga & Uta Takami defeated Miu Watanabe, Arisu Endo & Ren Konatsu when Mizuki pinned Konatsu with the Cutie Special (12:59).
7. Yuki Arai & Miyu Yamashita defeated Hiroyo Matsumoto & Shoko Nakajima when Arai submitted Nakajima with the Scorpion Death Lock (15:51).
8. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: Suzume defeated Rika Tatsumi with the Spring Ring A Bell (20:46).

This year’s winner of the Tokyo Princess Cup is someone who is also on track to becoming the queen bee of Tokyo Joshi Pro! All it took was for Suzume to surpass the very person who inspired her to become a pro wrestler in the first place. She faced Rika Tatsumi in the final with both women fighting to win the tournament for the first time. Tatsumi used the fan streamers to her advantage by wrapping them all over Suzume, throwing her into the front row and then jumping into her with a Hip Attack. She then targeted Suzume’s legs in an effort to put a stop to any comebacks. Suzume fought off the persistant Hip Attacks and Choke Holds to catch Tatsumi with a counter attack. There was almost a double knockout when Tatsumi did the Twist Of Fate only for Suzume to hit back with a last ditch Ring A Bell. Tatsumi caught another Ring A Bell to turn it into the Dragon Sleeper but Suzume was able to eventually roll out of it. She then gave Tatsumi a taste of her own medicine by grabbing her neck to choke her! Tatsumi overpowered it and tried to put Suzume in a Sleeper Hold until Suzume used the ropes to bounce herself free and then launch herself into the Spring Ring A Bell for the three count!

After the match Suzume said she became stronger because she admires how much Tatsumi lives her life to the fullest. Today they got to fight each other with all of their might and Suzume couldn’t be happier. She remembers when Tatsumi would call her her arch-nemesis and she is now never going to let that go. Tatsumi gave Suzume a cheeky poke to the head and then hugged her before leaving the ring. Next, Suzume said she has now conquered the hot summer and won’t be stopping there. She called out Yuki Arai to challenge her for the Princess Of Princess Title! She thought Arai is the person who is shining the brightest in TJPW but after today Suzume thinks she can shine even brighter! She is still going to defend her International Princess Title in the meantime but she also wants to fight Arai for the Princess Title too! Arai said she wants to fight Suzume so she can also pour out her love for TJPW. She will give her the title shot at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII” on 3rd October! Suzume ended the show by telling everyone the day after tomorrow will be the 7th Anniversary of her debut. Before she became a pro wrestler she thought the only dreams she could hold onto were those she had when she was a child. But TJPW has taught her she can have as many dreams as she wants at any age! Meanwhile Tatsumi backstage complained about working so hard this summer that she should be rewarded for it with a raise in salary plus other special bonuses from the company.

Hiroyo Matsumoto was one of the guests paying a visit to TJPW today. Next month she is going to team up with Miyu Yamashita at a “TAKAYAMANIA” show but today they were on opposite sides of the semi-main event tag match. Matsumoto also used this time to get a feel for Yuki Arai, taunting the champion to give her her best shot. Matsumoto would later do her part in holding back Yamashita, lifting her up into a Torture Rack while Shoko Nakajima tried to finish off Arai. But Arai dodged the 619 and threw down Nakajima with the Full Nelson Buster. She then put Nakajima in the Scorpion Death Lock and used all of her strength to make Nakajima tap out to the move. Arai said she is going to sleep well tonight because she avenged her loss to Nakajima in the tournament. As for fighting Matsumoto again, Arai thinks that is kind of a scary idea but she would like to fight her again and again to grow strong enough to beat her. Nakajima was disappointed because she considers Matsumoto to be a pioneer for kaiju wrestlers and Nakajima ended up becoming a punching bag like Anguirus in front of “Lady Godzilla”. Matsumoto admitted she doesn’t know a lot about Anguirus and promised to look it up for Nakajima.

There’s no official name yet for Mizuki, Mei Suruga & Uta Takami but the report on the TJPW website refers to them as The KAWAII Trio so let’s go with that for now. They were all a handful for their opponents. Takami accidentally snapped off Ren Konatsu’s toy sheep then annoyed her even more when she said she didn’t want it in the first place. Suruga stopped Miu Watanabe from giving Takami the Giant Swing and copied her ponytail pose. She then tried to do the Apple Mutilation on Watanabe but Watanabe powered out of it and gave her the Giant Swing instead. Arisu Endo went on a roll against Takami & Mizuki then helped Watanabe set Mizuki up for Konatsu’s Aries Comet. A scramble led to Mizuki taking out Watanabe with the Whirling Candy and then joining Takami in double teaming Konatsu until the Cutie Special ended the match.

Kira Summer spent the last month back in her home country of Australia and now has to catch up with her contemporaries in her first match back in TJPW. HIMAWARI greeted her with Hair Whips while Toga welcomed her back with Body Slams. Chika Nanase tried to even the playing field but ultimately failed. Her effort in avoiding the Absolute Zero was rewarded with an Elbow Smash from Toga that knocked her down. Toga then submitted her with the Muffler Hold that almost bent her over backwards.

For her debut in TJPW, Sumire Natsu told Yuki Kamifuku that she came here wanting to be treated like a serious wrestler. She then immediately contradicted herself by avoiding the opening lock up to gyrate for the fans instead. Kamifuku later said she wouldn’t allow the Bronco Buster to be used in TJPW so she and Natsu got into a Big Boot battle over it. Natsu eventually got to do the move on Kamifuku with Mifu Ashida cheering her on. Ober Eats were finally able to get rid of her when Wakana Uehara lifted Kamifuku up to do an Elevated Big Boot to knock Natsu out of the ring. Kamifuku then went on to pin Ashida with the Famouser. Kamifuku said backstage that as part of her retirement road she asked TJPW to bring in Natsu because she is a character unlike anyone else in the company. In the ring she is flamboyant, intense and over the top but away from that she is kind, considerate and has a strong sense of professionalism. She also thinks Uehara and Ashida could learn a lot about the various possibilities of pro wrestling just from experiencing 0.2% of Natsu. Wrestling in TJPW for the first time made Natsu so nervous, she forgot to bring her makeup bag which she admits is very unlike her. She came here with the goal of becoming a legend in one appearance rather than auditioning for a regular spot but now she is convinced she can make it here. She wants TJPW management to consider booking her more often even if it’s just as a favour to Kamiyu.

Both teams in Match #3 came up with a special rule to celebrate the end of summer. In order for a pinfall to be counted, the wrestlers would have to do a Bon Odori dance beforehand. Music played and everyone danced until Hyper Misao’s team attacked Pom Harajuku’s team from behind. Raku led her partners in the Oyasumi Express while the music played. Mahiro Kiryu used her Apology Knee Drop to try and do the dance. Yuki Aino put Shino Suzuki in the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire so Suzuki called for the music in order to try and dance her way out of the move. It actually worked and she almost pinned Aino with the Rolling Back Cradle afterward. Unfortunately Aino kicked out of it and quickly put Suzuki back in the Full Nelson to make her give up.

Two wrestlers who were both dealing with the disappointment of first round exits were put in the ring against each other in the undercard. The experience of Sakura Hattori won out against Haru Kazashiro in the end. After Kazashiro got a nearfall with a Low Cross Body, she wanted to use the Fisherman Suplex next. Instead, Hattori spun her way free and used a Leg Sweep to trip Kazashiro down. She then tangled her up in the Kitcho Kagome to pin her for the three count.

It’s been eight months since Shion Kanzaki debuted in TJPW and now that there is a rookie who debuted after her, the time has come for Kanzaki to earn her first win! She defeated Momo Sato to kick off the show, grabbing Sato in a Standing Armbar before slamming her down to the mat and wrenching in further for the submission. Sato did put up a fight by doing the Kneel Kick and a Crab Hold before that though. She said she trains with Sato a lot and knows how talented she is so she wasn’t sure she could beat her today. She wants to continue winning matches so she can go into her upcoming homecoming show with her head held high.

The show opening call that usually takes place with The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) included a special guest this time. A 4th grade elementary student named Yuzuki was chosen to join in with the group and tell everyone the show was starting. She said her favorite wrestlers are Kamifuku, Uehara and Raku.

At the start of the show it was announced that TJPW will be working with the manga author Go Nagai for “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII” later this year. Nagai is known for his works including Cutie Honey, Devilman, Mazinger Z and UFO Robot Grendizer. He was also recently inducted into the Eisner Hall Of Fame. Nagai will be collaborating to work on the visual art used for the show’s promotional material.

Recently a new mascot named Tojojo appeared on social media claiming to be the new manager of TJPW. It teased news of an announcement to be made for this show and Rise Shirai revealed it is a Rooftop Garden Pro Wrestling event taking place at Gran Hammer in Shinbashi on 10th October. The show will consist of an all you can eat BBQ, a performance by The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling), a talk show featuring TJPW wrestlers and also mat pro wrestling matches that promised to include the use of water cannons.

8. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: Suzume Vs Rika Tatsumi

We’ve come a long way from Suzume becoming a pro wrestler because she looked up to Rika Tatsumi. Now it is their fate to fight over the Tokyo Princess Cup! It will be the first time the final will pit one champion against the other, Suzume being the International Princess Champion and Tatsumi holding one of the Princess Tag Team Titles.

The two losing semi-finalists have to deal with the consolation prize of teaming up together HIMAWARI & Toga will be facing a newly motivated Chika Nanase (her homecoming show was recently announced) and the returning Kira Summer.

Whenever Tokyo Joshi Pro has two rookies who have yet to win a match it will be inevitable that they will be put in a match against each other so one of them can earn their first victory. Shion Kanzaki and Momo Sato are now being put in that position together.

Earlier this week a new Twitter account appeared and attracted the attention of the TJPW locker room. Over the following days it posted teases until today when it was revealed to be Tojojo, the brand new TJPW mascot. The promotion has been brainstorming on creating a mascot for a while now with everyone in the promotion drawing concept art of what it should look like. But what’s catching everyone there off guard is Tojojo has immediately claimed it will also be the new TJPW Manager. What that means we just have to wait and see.

GANBARE☆PRO “SPY GAME 2026”, 05/09/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Keisuke Ishii Vs Shota Kawakami
2. Shinichiro Tominaga, Masashi Takeda & Tyson Maeguchi Vs Shigehiro Irie, Takuya Wada & YuuRI
3. Sentaro Motojima 1st Anniversary Debut Match: Mizuki Watase Vs Sentaro Motojima
4. Ken Ohka 25th Anniversary Match Part 3: Ken Ohka Vs Yumehito Imanari
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu (c) Vs Moeka Haruhi & Rydeen Hagane

The pair now called Sussun Katsun have become the new Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Champions. They made the same mistake a lot of champions make by saying they will take on any challenge thrown at them then get surprised when the challenge immediately appears in front of them. Moeka Haruhi & Rydeen Hagane have joined forces, describing their tag team like Beauty & The Beast. Hagane also doesn’t want everyone to forget that she was one of the first women to work with Ganbare☆Pro well before the Ganbare☆Joshi division was ever established. So if there is any wrestler who deserves to fight for a GanPro championship, it’s her.

Is three commemorative matches too much to celebrate one anniversary? Ken Ohka is enjoying his 25th year in wrestling so much he doesn’t want the good time to end. He challenge his good pal Yumehito Imanari to a singles match so he too can join in on the fun. Unfortunately Imanari has gotten fed up with GanPro relying on wrestler anniversaries so often to promote their big matches. There are other stories these matches can be booked around you know! Imanari will take the match with Ohka but only so he can take his anger out on Ohka for being so greedy.

To make things a little more awkward, young Sentaro Motojima is going to celebrate the first anniversary of his debut match on the same show. Don’t worry Motojima, Imanari’s not mad at you. I’m sure of it.

DDT “YUKI UENO 10TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW -IN MY MIND “10”-”, 13/09/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. 3 Way Match: Shinya Aoki Vs HARASHIMA Vs Akito
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match ~ No Tag Rules: Yuki Ueno, HUB & Daisuke Sasaki Vs Ilusion, Yuni & Daichi Sato
3. Special Tag Match: MAO & Yoshihiko Vs Kazuki Hirata & Kaisei Takechi
4. Yuki Ueno 10th Anniversary Match ~ Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Shunma Katsumata

From the mind of Yuki Ueno he will conjure up the trio of himself, HUB & Daisuke Sasaki has a possibly united force. The idea he has in mind is to put three skillful wrestlers together for a match against three young opponents who all have a world of potential ahead of them. Those three youngsters are Ilusion, Yuni & Daichi Sato. The immediate reaction from Sasaki is unhappiness that he and Ilusion will be on opposite teams.

Three days after Shinya Aoki fights in RIZIN, he will be returning to DDT for a 3 Way Match. If he gets beaten badly by Mikuru Asakura then maybe HARASHIMA and Akito could both take it easy on him.

DDT “DRAMATIC INFINITY 2026 ~AUTUMN OF PRO WRESTLING~”, 21/09/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI) Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion

It all depends on how things are going with DAMNATION T.A over the next month. Ilusion has become addicted to collecting championships so he went and challenged Strange Love Connection all by himself without consulting the rest of the unit. Sasaki seems to be okay with it which would continue his current apathetic behavior over who ultimately calls the shots within the group. Hideki Okatani will be on the challenger team looking for a chance to become a champion again so soon after losing the DDT Extreme Title. SLC accepted Ilusion’s challenge because Viento Levante wants to beat him. KANON will also likely be motivated to defend the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles against the stable he once held the belts with before they kicked him out.
