2. Mizuki defeated Shion Kanzaki with the Southern Cross (7:38).
3. Miu Watanabe, Raku, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami defeated Shoko Nakajima, Wakana Uehara, Haru Kazashiro & Ren Konatsu when Raku pinned Konatsu with the Doctor Yellow (11:23).
4. Miyu Yamashita defeated Pom Harajuku with the Attitude Adjustment (7:09).
5. Yuki Arai, Yuki Kamifuku & Yuki Aino defeated Hyper Misao, Arisu Endo & Sakura Hattori when Kamifuku pinned Hattori with the Famouser (10:19).
6. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Rika Tatsumi defeated Toga with the Missile Hip (14:23).
7. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Suzume defeated HIMAWARI with the Ring A Bell (12:35).

The Tokyo Princess Cup final is for the first time going to be between two champions. Suzume had to beat HIMAWARI in the main event of today’s show. She tried to stop HIMAWARI’s hair whipping in the corner by pulling on her braids but HIMAWARI turned that against her and flipped Suzume down to the mat. However Suzume countered the Sunflower Tempest into a Noshigami, followed up with the top rope running Facecrusher and got the victory using the Ring A Bell. HIMAWARI is upset to make it this far in her second Princess Cup appearance but not reach the final, especially since she thought it was fate for her to be drawn with Suzume in the semi final. She promised to use her tears as nourishment into the next year so she can bloom into an even bigger flower.

Toga couldn’t take down Rika Tatsumi in the other semi final no matter what she did. The Absolute Zero and then the Muffler Hold didn’t work. Tatsumi also took Toga’s tired Elbow Strikes before hitting her back with the Twist Of Fate and finishing her off with the Missile Hip. Toga was disappointed that her blue flame that beat Yuki Aino couldn’t beat the dragon flames of Tatsumi. She also thinks she is making progress in expressing her emotions more during her matches.

At the end of the show Tatsumi and Suzume met in the ring to talk about the final taking place on 23rd August. Tatsumi admits she didn’t want to face Suzume in the tournament at all but she is looking forward to it. Backstage Tatsumi brought up the times she lost to Suzume in the 2022 Princess Cup and also in the 2024 Max Heart Tournament. If they’re going to fight then Tatsumi thinks she will need to crush Suzume completely. Suzume says this will be her greatest test so she will run all the way to Korakuen Hall using this momentum.

Match #4 was put together to be a big test for Pom Harajuku to endure. Instead it turned into a horror story for Miyu Yamashita! When Yamashita entered the ring, the lights went out. When they flicked back on, Harajuku was replaced by Sadako from the movie Ring! Yamashita was terrified and struggled to put up a fight. Sadako then found Shion Kanzaki at ringside, put a wig on her and brought her into the ring to be a decoy for Yamashita to fight. After further scares, Yamashita finally pulled off the wig and discovered Sadako was Harajuku in disguise. After that she was able to give her the Attitude Adjustment and win the match.

At the start of the show Chika Nanase announced that Tokyo Joshi Pro will be holding a show in her hometown of Sakai City, Osaka on 29th November. She said she is incredibly happy and honored to be wrestling there soon.

7. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Suzume Vs HIMAWARI

A back injury has taken Mahiro Kiryu off of Sunday’s Tokyo Joshi Pro show so it has caused a big change to the middle of the card. Yuki Yuki Yuki are no longer going to face each other in a 3 Way Match. Instead Yuki Arai, Yuki Kamifuku & Yuki Aino are all united as a trio once more for a 6-Woman Tag Match. A few other matches have bodies swapped around which somehow left Pom Harajuku now having to go face Miyu Yamashita all by herself.

A rare opportunity has come up for someone to break the record of becoming the youngest KO-D Openweight Champion ever. One day after Daichi Sato turns 18 years old he will challenge the new champion MAO for DDT’s biggest prize.

Shunma Katsumata has decided this run as the DDT Extreme Champion will be spent feeling how his challengers take in pro wrestling. Kumadori is first up with the dancer wanting to go as far as he can so he can be seen as something other than a guest wrestler by DDT fans.

There will be a full reunion of Smile Squash to mark Soma Takao’s impending exit from DDT. All four mainstay members will be reunited for the first time since 2017 for an 8-Man Tag Match.

“SHINJUKU FACE COUNTDOWN SERIES ~MEISHIN KOKOTSU~”, 30/09/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. ~Many Thanks Battle Royal~: X Vs X
2. ~Go to the NEXT~: Ilusion & Homare Vs Shota Kofuji & Masami Inahata
3. ~THE FACE GENERATION~: MAO, Yuki Ueno & Chris Brookes Vs Dragon Kid, Yuma Aoyagi & Kuroshio TOKYO Japan
4. ~W-FACE FINAL~: Aja Kong & Chihiro Hashimoto Vs Mayumi Ozaki & Sareee

The main event has been decided for the very last wrestling show held inside Shinjuku FACE and it is the most fitting one they could have thought of. The main event of the very first show held in the venue 21 years ago was Mayumi Ozaki & Dynamite Kansai against Aja Kong & Manami Toyota. Only Ozaki and Kong are still active out of those four so they are going against each other in another tag match. This time Kong is teaming up with Chihiro Hashimoto from Sendai Girls while Ozaki must fight side by side with Sareee!

You can’t close down Shinjuku FACE if Kuroshio TOKYO Japan never finishes his entrance! Maybe the same goes for if Dragon Kid horizontally grabs onto a ring post and wiggles his body out of reach for the staff to grab him. Can’t rely on Yuma Aoyagi, he won’t do anything about it.

The participants in the Battle Royal will not be revealed until the day of the show. It will be a Royal Rumble style match.

The match order other than the main event will not be decided until the day of the show.

One the one hand I wasn’t able to get a preview written up for tomorrow’s show. On the other hand I have an urge to do it anyway and can’t shake off the nagging feeling that I can get it posted by tonight. Maybe I’ll get it done in time, just please don’t hold your breath if it doesn’t show up.

Whoever enters the Battle Royal as the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion will receive the prize of a year long bullet train pass to be used whenever DDT books the person for a show held outside of Tokyo.

The Right To Challenge Gauntlet holders heading into tomorrow are Hideki Okatani (Red), To-y (Blue) and KANON (Purple AAAA). If there’s ever an important and dramatic place to cash at least one of them in, it will be at Sumo Hall.

Tokyo Princess Cup 2026 Brackets

July 9, 2026

Today in Abema Towers the draw for this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup took place with Rise Shirai looking over the proceedings. Twenty of the twenty four competitors were in attendance to choose a number out of random envelopes and match up together to reveal the full playoff bracket. Those who were missing from the event were Pom Harajuku, Wakana Uehara, Mifu Ashida and the yet to debut Momo Sato. Shirai picked their envelopes and revealed their spots first before any of the wrestlers in attendance got to choose their own.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 20/07/2026
Shizuoka Act City Hamamatsu

1. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1A: Uta Takami Vs Miyu Yamashita
2. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1B: Raku Vs Mizuki
3. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1C: Arisu Endo Vs Sakura Hattori
4. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1D: Wakana Uehara Vs Mifu Ashida
5. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1E: Toga Vs Momo Sato
6. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1F: Miu Watanabe Vs Ren Konatsu
7. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1G: Suzume Vs Shion Kanzaki
8. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1H: Haru Kazashiro Vs Yuki Arai

The entire 1st Round will be held in Shizuoka to kick off the tournament. Uta Takami drew Miyu Yamashita so she feels terrified while also thinking she’s hit the jackpot. Yamashita is an opponent Takami really wants to challenge but at her current state she believes a match between them could only be put together by a lottery. It will be dangerous but Takami does not want to set limits for herself. Yamashita admits she is not very good when fighting against Takami’s fighting style so she’s going to be careful when she tries to crush her.

If you would like to know the combined brain power of Raku and Mizuki, the two accidentally headbutted each other from bowing after their match was revealed. Raku also said that Mizuki sleeps with her eyes open and wants to know if all rabbits do that? She’ll be careful against her either way. Mizuki hasn’t been happy with her tournament results lately and came to the conclusion it is because she is too much of an angel. This year she would like to act like a bit of a devil and wake Raku up!

Last year’s finalist Arisu Endo is now looking to become No. 1! She still remembers the time she first fought Sakura Hattori back when the ninja was known as Kaya Toribami. Endo lost that match and it also happened to be Toribami’s first ever singles victory. Endo has promised to get revenge for that loss by beating Hattori in the first round! Hattori said it does not matter who her opponent is because she is superior against anybody. She has her own defeats against Endo that she wants to avenge, the most recent being from this year’s Max Heart Tournament.

Neither Wakana Uehara or Mifu Ashida were at the press conference so they weren’t able to give their thoughts about facing each other in Round 1. This will be Ashida’s first proper go at the Princess Cup because last year she failed to get out of the Preliminary League qualifiers. Uehara did get past the league and reached the Quarter Final before getting eliminated. Given the changes for this year she doesn’t need to win as many matches this time around to reach the same stage.

The way the brackets have been put together can be split apart in A, B, C & D Blocks. Toga thinks the C Block that she belongs too is full of power fighters so she isn’t exactly confident of her chances of advancing past everyone else. She doesn’t know what to expect of her opponent Momo Sato either because it will be Sato’s next first match after her debut takes place.

Miu Watanabe is looking to make it two in a row as she gears up to defend her crown. Last year’s winner wants to shine like a princess for the rest of the summer again. Ren Konatsu is looking forward to facing her in Round 1. There are five people in particular she wants to wrestle and Watanabe is one of them. It’s also taking place in her hometown of Hamamatsu so the stage is set for her to become the next princess of the summer by beating the current one!

It’s going to be a first time ever singles match between Suzume and Shion Kanzaki. Suzume warns her opponent that hornets are at their most aggressive in the summertime. Suzume doesn’t have much Princess Cup success to brag about which only makes her more motivated to burst through the early rounds and show everyone the true power of the hornet. Kanzaki is nervous about her tournament debut but doesn’t want fans to think she will bow out right away in the opening round. She’ll do her best to beat Suzume and advance.

The bottom right of the bracket corner is the block to watch out for in Round 1. Haru Kazashiro meets Yuki Arai and for her third tournament appearance her confidence is very high compared to the previous two years. She’s been watching Kamen Rider OOO recently and has been inspired by the hero Eiji because he once said if something is within reach and he never reached out to grab it then he would regret it. Kazashiro is following those words so she can live a summer without regrets. Arai loves that sparkly behaviour from her which is why she wants to take a lethal dose of that youthful energy for herself so she can sparkle even more too.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 25/07/2026
Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall

1. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2A: Winner Of Match 1A Vs Rika Tatsumi
2. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2B: Winner Of Match 1B Vs Hyper Misao
3. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2C: Winner Of Match 1C Vs Chika Nanase
4. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2D: Winner Of Match 1D Vs HIMAWARI

In recent years Rika Tatsumi has grown to like the summer after always hating it beforehand. So this year she has put it upon herself to win the Princess Cup and become the “Summer Girl” Rika Tatsumi. She’s worried that Yamashita might ruin those plans though. Last year Yamashita let everyone know that she would love to face Tatsumi in the tournament because they haven’t had a singles match together since 2021. It never happened because Tatsumi got knocked out in the first round. Tatsumi doesn’t like that the opportunity for the match to happen has reappeared again so she is rooting for Takami to beat Yamashita instead.

No matter who she faces in Round 2, Hyper Misao thinks she is going into a hellish situation because Raku and Mizuki are both real troublemakers. But Misao is a superhero and if she can make it through a hellish summer like this then she can become a really, really, really strong hero. In fact if it was up to her she would have wanted to start in Round 1 so she can win five matches on the way to winning the Princess Cup instead of four. Mizuki then called out Misao for lying.

For a tournament named after Tokyo it sure is starting to be held in Osaka more often. Chika Nanase is happy with that because she gets to start her tournament in her hometown. That surge of energy is going to get her ready for either Endo or Hattori.

HIMAWARI didn’t have Uehara or Ashida around to bounce off of so she tried to think of things they would say if they were here. She thinks Uehara would talk about devouring the competition while Ashida would be cheering and shouting “Woohoo!” HIMAWARI says when you think of summer you will think of her so she is going to bloom the brightest and win the tournament.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 30/07/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2E: Winner Of Match 1E Vs Mahiro Kiryu
2. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2F: Winner Of Match 1F Vs Yuki Aino
3. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2G: Winner Of Match 1G Vs Pom Harajuku
4. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2H: Winner Of Match 1H Vs Shoko Nakajima

How can you be born in July but have a terrible lack of success during the summertime? That’s the plight Mahiro Kiryu faces every time she enters the Princess Cup. She’s supposed to be a summer girl but she’s never gotten to be one. If there is ever a time for her to solve this problem it is now! Maybe the sun will finally start shining on her when she steps into the ring to face either Toga or Sato in Round 2.

Yuki Aino is still feeling the pain of getting eliminated in the first round last year so she is hesitant about saying she will go all out from the start again. She also remembers her failure to beat Watanabe for the Princess Of Princess Title last year so she doesn’t want to claim she can definitely beat her either should she be her opponent in Round 2. Even stating that she can beat Konatsu is not something Aino is comfortable with saying at the moment. Instead the message she wants to give today is she will knock everyone out so she can reach the dream stage that is the Princess Cup final again.

Pom Harajuku wasn’t there so there’s nothing from her about potentially facing Suzume or Shion Kanzaki in Round 2. She is back in the Princess Cup after failing to qualify last year. Her record here is pretty abysmal to be honest with only one previous win in the contest. You can’t even include a Preliminary League win from last year because that one was by forfeit.

As the one remaining wrestler to have competed in every single Princess Cup to date, Shoko Nakajima is spoiled for choice when it comes to her Round 2 opponent. She gets either the current Princess Champion at the time of this draw happening or a first time singles match with Kazashiro. All three of them would like to wrestle each other in the tournament so Nakajima told Arai and Kazashiro to figure out a way where they can both win so they can all do a 3 Way Match together in Round 2!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 08/08/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Winner Of Match 2A Vs Winner Of Match 2B
2. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Winner Of Match 2C Vs Winner Of Match 2D
3. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Winner Of Match 2E Vs Winner Of Match 2F
4. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Winner Of Match 2G Vs Winner Of Match 2H

I’m writing this on the same afternoon the Quarter Finals of the World Cup are beginning. Arai is France but is Yamashita Argentina? Can Tatsumi be like England and bring it home? Is Suzume Norway and therefore the next lineal holder of Hatsune Miku? Does that make Nakajima Spain somehow? Is Morocco better suited to Endo, Kazashiro or Takami? Will Misao save an entire sport like Belgium did? No matter what, Kiryu has the same chances as Switzerland.

1. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: X Vs X
2. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: X Vs X

Osaka gets to host the semi-finals again. At this point of the tournament the brackets will be removed and the semi final matchups will be paired together by a lottery.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 23/08/2026

1. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: X Vs X

The Princess Cup is always promoted by Tokyo Joshi Pro as their equivalent to the annual Summer Koshien high school baseball tournament. So it is only fitting that this year’s Princess Cup final takes place in the same weekend as the Koshien final.

Tokyo Princess Cup 2026

July 1, 2026

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.

Yuki Arai (6th Appearance)
Miu Watanabe (8th Appearance, 2025 Winner)
Rika Tatsumi (11th Appearance)
Suzume (7th Appearance)
Miyu Yamashita (12th Appearance, 2023 Winner)
Shoko Nakajima (13th Appearance, 2015 Winner)

Wakana Uehara (3rd Appearance)
Mizuki (10th Appearance, 2019 & 2020 Winner)
Yuki Aino (6th Appearance)

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.

DDT “NANIWA FIGHTERS 2026” Results

March 8, 2026

DDT “NANIWA FIGHTERS 2026”, 08/03/2026
Osaka 176BOX
??? Fans

1. Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida defeated Junta Miyawaki & Antonio Honda when Yoshimura pinned Honda with a Backslide Pin (7:33).
2. 2 Vs 3 Handicap Match: Yuki Ueno & Kazuma Sumi defeated Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Akito when Ueno submitted Hirata with a Crab Hold (0:04).
2a. Osaka Specialty Tenkaichi Budokai Style Elimination Match: Yuki Ueno & Kazuma Sumi defeated Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Akito (10:26).
2a1. Yuki Ueno and Danshoku Dieno eliminated each other by Double Ring Out (4:47).
2a2. Kazuma Sumi eliminated Akito by Ring Out (6:52).
2a3. Kazuma Sumi eliminated Kazuki Hirata with the School Boy (10:26).
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato defeated Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Hinata Kasai when Masada pinned Kasai with the Manburi (12:10).
4. Special Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Rukiya defeated Jun Akiyama & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Rukiya pinned Matsunaga with a Running Elbow Butt (11:22).
5. DAMNATION T.A Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: MAO, Yukio Naya & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion (w/ MJ Paul) when MAO pinned Ilusion after a Modified Reverse Attack (13:46).
6. Special Single Match: KANON defeated To-y with the GURU-GURU Driver (15:49).

There were Chops and Slaps a-flying between KANON and To-y in the main event. To-y went high risk too with a dive over the corner of the ring onto KANON outside. KANON used Lariats to turn the tables on his opponent and soon won the match using the GURU-GURU Driver. With To-y now beaten, KANON then called out Yuki Ueno to get into the ring. Ueno told him he’s strong but the KO-D Openweight Title needs to be carried by someone who can lead DDT towards everyone’s dreams. KANON admitted he isn’t strong mentally but he will win the KO-D Title and prove his worth as a wrestler. He then told the Osaka fans he is about to take on the biggest challenge of his life and when he returns here he will be standing on top of the DDT mountain!

The Toyonaka Tag of Sanshiro Takagi & Rukiya were victorious in their match today. Rukiya is so proud of where he comes from that he declared he will become the next tourism ambassador of Toyonaka City! Takagi wants to be part of it too and share the roll with him because there has never been a tag team that became tourism ambassadors before. Takagi later claimed that he has already contacted city officials to put the plan into motion.

When the Handicap Match ended too quickly, everyone agreed to restart it. This time the match used elimination rules that included knocking your opponents out of the ring to eliminate them.

Toribami’s Mystery Trip, Kumadori Enters Super Japan, Minimo

March 6, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “PRELUDE TO GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 07/03/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

6. Miu Watanabe, Toga & Uta Takami Vs Yuki Arai, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki

During the week Kaya Toribami told Tokyo Joshi Pro she was going on a trip to Iga City on short notice and would record a vlog of her visit to the area. There she met Genichi Mitsuhashi, the first person to ever get a PhD for Ninja Studies in Mie University. She then spent the day training with him in his dojo. After learning some new techniques she was encouraged to visit a nearby Bishamonten shrine. When she walked inside the grounds she found a Oni mask and suddenly began to convulse after she picked it up. The footage ended there but allegedly Mitsuhashi found Toribami and sent her back to Tokyo. A short time later TJPW received a video from Mitsuhashi of Toribami falling into a trance after the convulsions and then unmasking herself before walking behind one of the shrines, leaving her mask behind…

Sanshiro Takagi will be at the show to reveal the new idol he scouted for a match at Sumo Hall.

The dynamic for Match #3 has shifted slightly now that Takeshi Masada and Daichi Sato are stablemates and will be challenging for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles together soon. That doesn’t mean they’re going to take it easy on each other.

2. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs Fuminori Abe
3. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Kazunari Murakami

The next Super Japan show needs some extra flair to wow the audience into voting for it to continue existing. Kuroshio TOKYO Japan was already advertised for the show and now we know he will be fighting the O-MENZ masked dancer Kumadori! They might give everyone a dance battle along with a pro wrestling match.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Minimoni Debut Match: Minimoni Vs X

8. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Arai

Training is going very well for Minimo-chan at the moment. So much so that the mascot is nailing down the details for its pro wrestling debut. Minimo has perfected its finishing move called the Drink Some Delicious Milk Pyon! Kick before moving onto weight training. Now Minimo has decided on its wrestler name. When Minimo-chan gets into the ring the mascot will become Minimo!

More PR instructions have been sent out by Super Sasadango Machine, this time it is one for Mizuki. Since her deadly Pico Pico Hammer has been stolen, she must go in search for a new legendary weapon to use against Andreza Giant Panda.

Yuni Injured, New Gen Army, Grand Princess ’26 PR Updates

March 3, 2026

DDT “D GENERATIONS 8”, 07/03/2026
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall

1. Ali Najima Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Yuya Koroku & Kazuma Sumi Vs Yuki Ishida & Rukiya
3. Ilusion Vs Mikiya Sasaki
4. Special Single Match: Takeshi Masada Vs Daichi Sato
5. Special Single Match: To-y Vs Hideki Okatani

Over the weekend Yuni injured his left elbow and he has since been diagnosed with a joint contusion that needs two weeks of rest in order to recover. For that reason Yuni will be missing all of the DDT shows in the first half of March starting with the next D GENERATIONS show. Mikiya Sasaki is replacing him as Ilusion’s new opponent.

DDT “IKETA ZE! IMAIKE 2026”, 07/03/2026
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall

1. 3 Way Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Yuki Ishida

6. Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & Ilusion Vs Kazuma Sumi & Akito

GANBARE☆PRO “GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE 2026”, 07/03/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Shigehiro Irie Vs Shota Kawakami
2. Yumehito Imanari Vs Sentaro Motoshima
3. Ken Ohka, Akira Shoji & Moeka Haruhi Vs Choun Shiryu, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Chika
4. Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu
5. Shoko Nakajima Vs YuuRI
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Takuya Wada

Another appearance by Yuya Susumu is on the horizon. He isn’t going to leave Ganbare☆Pro until he gets his singles match with Keisuke Ishii.

Chika is coming over from Pro Wrestling Evolution.

Munetatsu Nakamura is still undergoing rehabilitation for his neck injury. It’s been decided his goal of returning to the ring this month will not happen and he will remain out of action during March. GanPro along with Nakamura’s doctor all want to ensure he is in top condition when he is ready to wrestle again.

DDT “NANIWA FIGHTERS 2026”, 08/03/2026
Osaka 176BOX

1. Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida Vs Junta Miyawaki & Antonio Honda
2. 2 Vs 3 Handicap Match: Yuki Ueno & Kazuma Sumi Vs Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Akito
3. DAMNATION T.A Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion Vs MAO, Yukio Naya & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO)

Matsunaga is there to sub in for Yuni again. Some of the early undercard matches have been changed around too.

DDT “ICHIKABACHIKA 2026”, 11/03/2026
Shinjuku FACE

0. Dark Match – Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match: Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer Vs Rika Tatsumi & Uta Takami
1. Jun Akiyama & Kazuki Hirata Vs HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda
2. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Kazuma Sumi, Naomi Yoshimura, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shinya Aoki, Junta Miyawaki & Viento Maligno Vs Chris Brookes, Yuni & Hinata Kasai
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shishamo Power, Unagi Mask & Gota Ihashi Vs Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi (c) Vs Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato

A new unit is developing among the D GENERATIONS wrestlers. Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku decided to create a new stable focused on their age group and Daichi Sato agreed to join them. They don’t have a name at the moment so are temporarily being referred to as the New Generation Army. Since they already consist of three people they are going to fight for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles as their first big challenge. Kaisei Takechi is itching to wrestle again sooner than scheduled so he along with Yuki Ueno & To-y are ready to defend their titles next week.

We’re approaching that time of year when DDT holds sponsored matches with the Yamada Suisan seafood company. That means the return of the masked seafood themed wrestlers Shishamo Power and Unagi Mask. The match also sees Yuki Iino return to action after he’s been away training for his American Football team.

A bonus dark match is being provided by Tokyo Joshi Pro. At the time of writing Rika Tatsumi is still the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. Could the belt be going back home to DDT? Not if she has any say in it. Her goal as the champion is to bring the title all the way to TJPW’s Sumo Hall show at the end of the month.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2026 ~29TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION 5 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 22/03/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Single Match ~ Shunma Katsumata Return Match: MAO Vs Shunma Katsumata
2. Dramatic Dream Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Kazuki Hirata (w/ John Robinson)
3. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs Hideki Okatani
4. DDT Universal Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Kazuma Sumi
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs KANON

If it’s all been fun and games for To-y so far as the DDT Extreme Champion then Hideki Okatani is here to bring an end to it. To-y is gradually approaching the record for most Extreme Title defences in a single reign but Okatani is accusing him of padding out wins by only fighting old washed up wrestlers. To-y argues against that because some of his challengers so far have been from their own generation too.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Mizuki Vs Andreza Giant Panda
2. Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro (w/ Super Sentai) Vs Aja Kong, Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku
3. Special Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki & KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Hyper Misao & Super Sasadango Machine
4. International Princess Title: MIRAI (c) Vs Suzume
5. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee
6. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Arai

Apparently TJPW went and did it. They struck a deal to have something Super Sentai related to show up at Sumo Hall and be involved with the ToJo Tokusatsu Club’s match. At least I think that is what’s happening. I’m confused because I thought the TV show just ended recently to be replaced with a similar substitute for reasons that involve the studio moving on from a copyright deadlock. I guess we’ll find out at Sumo Hall what the Super Sentai collaboration will look like. Maybe the Tokusatsu Club gets to morph into their own Super Sentai outfits before they go out and fight Pompaler & Aja Kong. Actually they should go full Kaiju Big Battel and have the ring filled with small cardboard buildings for everyone to smash and slam each other on.

The Tokusatsu Club recently completed their “fireball return” training but since fire was absolutely prohibited, they ended up doing batting practice with Tetsu Inada instead. There are updates for some of the other Super Sasadango Machine PR tasks to catch up on. The roster has spent the last few days putting up posters for the show around Tokyo. Minimo-chan has taken up weight training for its debut match. Shino Suzuki is finding more and more influencers to challenge for games of Rock Paper Scissors but has only beaten one opponent so far. She has to keep doing this until she beats two more.

Sasadango has also come up with more challenges for the wrestlers who haven’t been given any tasks yet. He has asked Shion Kanzaki to hold a street performance in the heart of Shinjuku. Meanwhile Miyu Yamashita was told to take on intensive idol training.

GANBARE☆PRO “HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER 2024” Results

November 3, 2024

GANBARE☆PRO “HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER 2024”, 03/11/2024
Osaka 176BOX
123 Fans

1. Moeka Haruhi & Yuna Manase defeated HARUKAZE & YuuRI when Manase pinned HARUKAZE with the Lariat (11:07).
2. Harutoki defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with the Moonsault Press (11:24).
3. Ken Ohka, Yumehito Imanari & Tsuyoshi Okada defeated Shuichiro Katsumura, Hiroaki Moriya & Shota Kawakami when Imanari pinned Kawakami with a Power Bomb (14:20).
4. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Keisuke Ishii (c) defeated Hartley Jackson with the Momoiro Kick (14:05).
*V4 for Keisuke Ishii.
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase (c) defeated Naoki Tanizaki & Kohei Kinoshita when Watase pinned Kinoshita with an Elbow Butt (22:49).
*V2 for Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase.

A few weeks ago Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase fought Naoki Tanizaki & Kohei Kinoshita on a KOBE Meriken Pro show. Kinoshita pulled off an upset by pinning Watase and made the argument afterwards to get a shot at the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles. That led to the rematch today in Ganbare☆Pro where the champions got their revenge with a successful title defence. Ken Ohka then challenged Irie & Watase for the titles on 17th November. His partner is going to be Shuji Ishikawa just like how it was meant to be back in August before that month’s show was cancelled because of a typhoon. However Ohka admitted he doesn’t know yet if Ishikawa is actually available for the new date. He’s confident Ishikawa will be there.

Keisuke Ishii has now tied the record for most successful Spirit Of Ganbare World Title defences after he beat Hartley Jackson.

1. Shunma Katsumata, To-y & Kazuma Sumi Vs Yukio Naya, Yuya Koroku & Yuki Ishida
2. Special Tag Match: Makoto Oishi & Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs Akito & Kaya Toribami
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Danshoku Dieno, HARASHIMA & Tetsuya Endo Vs Chris Brookes, Takeshi Masada & Keigo Nakamura

I think the expectation is for To-y to have recovered from his stomach bug in time to be able to wrestle tomorrow.

GANBARE☆PRO “HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER 2024”, 03/11/2024
Osaka 176BOX

1. Moeka Haruhi & Yuna Manase Vs HARUKAZE & YuuRI

5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Keisuke Ishii (c) Vs Hartley Jackson

Hiroaki Moriya is coming to Ganbare☆Pro looking to “Energize” the place. He’s been in the ring with Ken Ohka before but hasn’t with Yumehito Imanari so he’s looking forward to fighting both for different reasons.

DDT “SUMIDA DRAMATIC DREAM! ~FREE SEATING PRO WRESTLING SHOW~”, 04/11/2024
Tokyo Higashin Arena (Sumida City Gymnasium)

8. KO-D Openweight Title – Houset Co., Ltd Presents: Shinya Aoki (c) Vs Chris Brookes

Thought we were all clear from Shinya Aoki’s threats to fight Katsuhiko Nakajima somewhere down the line? Not so fast! Aoki held a short interview with Tokyo Sports today where he said his goal is to hold onto the KO-D Openweight Title long enough that he will still be the champion when he has a grappling match in ONE FC this December. Aoki cannot believe he got a fight in ONE scheduled before he got a booking in GLEAT. He then started rambling about Nakajima and asking why he hasn’t been in the news lately?

BASARA “BASARA 261 ~SOUEN~”, 08/11/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Isami Kodaka & Minoru Fujita Vs Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida

5. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Kohei Kinoshita

Miyu Yamashita’s involvement in the DEFY weekend is resulting in some creative matchups. She was already announced as one of MAO’s opponents in the DDT Universal Title match and now we know the other opponent is Mike Bailey! Yamashita could be at a disadvantage if The Moonlight Express decided to use the numbers game against her.

This is not the full card. Both Nick Wayne and Marina Shafir have been announced for the show and do not have their matches announced yet.

Masahiro Takanashi is chosen to face Soma Takao for the World Omori Title. There is also going to be a Battle Royal to determine next year’s No. 1 Contender.

The full force of BURNING must meet the power of Chikara head on! No one shall be spared.

DDT/TOKYO JOSHI PRO/DEFY “TRIANGLER DTD”, 10/11/2024
Washington Hall, Seattle, Washington, USA

1. Special Single Match: Gringo Loco Vs Miyu Yamashita
2. Special Tag Match: MAO & Mike Bailey Vs Judas Icarus & Travis Williams
3. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Yuni

Come on Tony, give Yuni a shot at the AEW International Title. Do it for the sickos.

The Moonlight Express will team up proper at the end of the DEFY weekend for a tag match against Sinner & Saint.

I don’t know what kind of person would ever think up a Miyu Yamashita Vs Gringo Loco match but that’s some good booking right there.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR 2024 AUTUMN”, 22/11/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Final: X Vs X
2. Rika Tatsumi & Arisu Endo Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
3. International Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Shazza McKenzie

Big children rejoice for it’s the return of Hyper Misao to save the day! No better choice for her first match back from injury than to team up with Shoko Nakajima as Kyoraku Kyomei again. Rika Tatsumi will certainly welcome her back with a big hug that will suspiciously look a lot like a strangulation. Arisu Endo will probably stand to the side and give it a thumbs up.

Zara Zakher will be on the show.

DDT “GET ALIVE 2024”, 23/11/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Akito 15th Anniversary Debut Special Single Match: Isami Kodaka Vs Akito
2. DDT Extreme Title & Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Danshoku Dieno (c/c) Vs Yuni
3. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku

BURNING have found themselves back in the front of the line for a KO-D Tag Team Titles shot. This time however Tetsuya Endo is teaming with Yuya Koroku instead of Yuki Iino. Koroku has a pinfall win over Shunma Katsumata and that interested MAO enough to accept his title challenge.
