Yukio Sakaguchi and Yoshihiro Takayama kept targeting each other during the main event and had to be held apart after the match. As Takayama was being led away from the ring Sakaguchi taunted him for “running away”. Sakaguchi said he will destroy Takayama at Korakuen Hall on 23rd November.
Daisuke Sasaki got on the microphone after DAMNATION defeated Happy Motels. He said he is sick and tired of Happy Motels and Tetsuya Endo thinks the same. That’s why he joined DAMNATION.
This is the first time DDT held a show in Okayama. It was also a homecoming for Tokyo Joshi Pro wrestler Nodoka-oneesan. Even though she lost to Miyu Yamashita, Nodoka was still thankful to wrestle in her hometown and received a lot of streamers for her entrance. She hopes Tokyo Joshi and other companies will come here someday because the area is not familiar with pro wrestling. That way she can always be close to pro wrestling because shows will be closer to her.

Hyper Misao has noticed how often Yuu & Nodoka-oneesan team together. They’ve been wrestling together ever since they debuted back in January. Misao told them that they are linked by “love of the truth”. While Yuu got to grapple with Rika Tatsumi a bit, she had to settle with submitting Misao to win the match.
When one of the children presented FUMA with his prize, FUMA forced him to do the Heavy Metal hand gesture.
Maho Kurone’s bloody make-up scared the children at ringside. She even chased a few away during her entrance.

6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: Yuu defeated Shoko Nakajima with the Cross Armbreaker (17:12).
The winner of this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup is Yuu! No, not you. Yuu! She’s only been wrestling in Tokyo Joshi Pro for 8 months but in that time Yuu has been undefeated and nobody has been able to match her skill. Akane Miura offered a challenge in the semi-final with her power based offence but Yuu choked her out with the Katahajime to win. In the other semi-final Hyper Misao took on last year’s winner Shoko Nakajima. Misao wanted the match to have a One Count Pinfall rule so she could save her energy for the final. The rule was rejected and Misao was told to continue the match when she pinned Nakajima for one second. Misao’s recent streak of upset wins ended here and Nakajima went on to the final. Yuu kicked out of the Northern Lights Suplex and wore down Nakajima until she tapped from a Cross Armbreaker. Yuu said becoming a pro wrestler is a dream come true but now she has a new dream. She asked Miyu Yamashita for a TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title shot. Yamashita accepted the challenge and set the match for 22nd September.
Yamashita has another target in her sights. She’s interested in fighting Reika Saiki one on one. Saiki herself thinks she has found a rival in Yamashita.
Summer time was the theme of Match #4. Each girl took part in the match while wearing yukatas. They also each brought out a weapon that is related to summer vacations. Rika Tatsumi had a beach volleyball, Yuka Sakazaki had a water ring, Nonoko had a watermelon and KANNA carried a water pistol. After the match KANNA announced she will graduate from Tokyo Joshi on 22nd September. She will have one more match with Miyu Yamashita on 31st August. She also invited Saki Akai and Ai Shimizu to attend her graduation ceremony.
Maho Kurone is the newest wrestler to debut for Tokyo Joshi. She wears a black costume to go along with her name. She has no sports history but wanted to join Tokyo Joshi when she saw their show at last year’s Beer Garden series. Nodoka-oneesan tried to beat her with the Back Flip but Kuron escaped and hit a Swinging Reverse Neckbreaker to win her debut match. Kuron didn’t feel quite happy afterwards but thinks people will enjoy her personality. She said she wants to fight Akane Miura sometime.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “KASUKABE LOVE RIN”, 09/07/2016 Saitama Kasukabe Hall 162 Fans
1. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Yuka Sakazaki defeated Marika Kobashi with the Osaekomi Backslide (8:59).
2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Yuu defeated Nodoka Onee-san with the Modified Kesagatame (5:40).

4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Akane Miura defeated Nonoko with the Lariat (6:15).
5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Hyper Misao defeated Miyu Yamashita with the I Am A Hero (11:05).
The big story coming out of the first round is Hyper Misao beating Miyu Yamashita in a massive upset. At one point during the match Misao was accidentally unmasked when she escaped from a Headlock. To show how serious she took the match, Misao refused to take the mask back and continued to wrestle with her face exposed. She kicked out of the Attitude Adjustment and got the surprise three count with a Diving Cross Body. Misao now faces KANNA in Round 2.
In another upset, Akane Miura defeated her tag team partner and first Tokyo Princess Cup winner Nonoko. The decisive moment of the match was Miura countering the Boinmaker with a Power Slam. A Lariat after that ended the match. Miura’s 2nd Round opponent is Rika Tatsumi.
For the fourth time in their short careers, Yuu and Nodoka Onee-san wrestled each other and for the fourth time Yuu won. Nodoka is upset that she is lagging so far behind in progress from Yuu and that she is constantly losing to her. Yuu faces Azusa Takigawa in Round 2.
Yuka Sakazaki will be against her Fighting Comedians tag partner Shoko Nakajima in the next round. Although she lost, Marika Kobashi thinks she is doing enough training necessary to be good. She thinks she just needs to become stronger.

Tokyo Joshi Pro with a little help from BASARA held two outdoor shows at Yokodai Station. There was also a wrestling exercise class held for children before both shows.
Since the show was in Kanagawa, Marika Kobashi got to headline both shows as the hometown girl. She said she became interested in wrestling when she saw a Big Japan show in a nearby shopping district. Today was a dream come true for her. Although she lost the main event in Part 1, she redeemed herself by getting a submission victory in Part 2.
The winner of every match received a box of goods from shops in the area. Nothing fancy, just stuff like boxes of bottled water, soda drinks or fruits and vegetables. Yusuke Kubo and Daichi Kazato had to share their prize of cola cans when they fought to a draw.
Nonoko was originally supposed to wrestle KANNA in Part 2 but was too ill to compete. Nodoka Onee-san took her place.

She said she had fun during this match but will have even more fun when she wins the TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title from Yamashita on 28th May.
Hyper Misao is now entering a new chapter of her life. With Snake World taken care of and her team with Saki Akamiya having ended, Misao is back to protecting Tokyo Joshi Pro, Japan, the world and even the universe on her own. Her first job was to fight Nonoko or as she called her, Tits Monster. Nonoko overpowered Misao and was on her way to an easy victory until she missed a Corner Splash Attack. Misao agve her a School Boy and even placed her feet on the middle rope for leverage to get the upset victory.
Word has come out that two of the trainees who were introduced at the January Korakuen Hall show have since quit the promotion. Yuki quit to focus on her education and Alice was not in a good enough physical state to continue training. The remaining trainees are Hinako and Maho. Hinako was seen working out with Shoko Nakajima before the show. I don’t know what Maho’s status is.
Tokyo Joshi will be part of the Beer Garden series of shows in Shinjuku FACE this August.
