TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ IN OSAKA” Results

May 30, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ IN OSAKA”, 30/05/2026
Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall
268 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Arisu Endo defeated Shion Kanzaki with the Camel Clutch (8:15).
2. 3 Way Match: Sakura Hattori defeated Mifu Ashida and Ren Konatsu when Hattori pinned Konatsu with a School Boy (7:59).
3. Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Hyper Misao & Kira Summer when Harajuku pinned Summer with the Pom de Justice (11:09).
4. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated HIMAWARI & Chika Nanase when Kazashiro submitted Nanase with the Izayoi (10:38).
5. Miyu Yamashita & Toga defeated Shoko Nakajima & Wakana Uehara when Toga pinned Uehara with the Absolute Zero (12:36).
6. Yuki Arai, Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Suzume defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Mizuki, Uta Takami & Mahiro Kiryu when Tatsumi submitted Takami with the White Dragon Sleeper (16:28).

The rematch from last week has gone to the champions this time. Suzume caught Mahiro Kiryu with the Ring A Bell, Yuki Arai used her Modified Brainbuster to deal with Yuki Kamifuku and Daydream finished off both Mizuki & Uta Takami. Takami was hit with the Running Hip and Miu Watanabe then joined Rika Tatsumi to give Mizuki the Daydream Eternity. Takami made the fatal mistake of charging towards Tatsumi after that because Tatsumi grabbed her into the White Dragon Sleeper to get the win. Tatsumi said it felt great to win the match and she hopes the result leaves everyone on the challenger team feeling disheartened. Watanabe wanted much more action today so she is looking forward to the Korakuen Hall show. Arai thinks she wasn’t able to kick Kamifuku nearly enough so she promised to kick her face off at Korakuen on 7th June. Suzume wants everyone on the champion team to regroup after that show so they can all stand together as champions again. Backstage Tatsumi was pleased to have taken down the “Koala Alien” today but she will also have to beat Mizuki too in order to free her from Takami’s “brainwashing”. Kiryu described Suzume as being in super battle mode, ready to sting her at any moment.

With their singles match coming up on 7th June, Wakana Uehara and Toga were primarily focused on trying to beat each other in their tag match. Uehara countered the Absolute Zero into a Jackknife Pin but it only got her a nearfall. Toga did one better by countering the Sushi Tornado into the Absolute Zero, dishing out enough damage to pin Uehara for the three count. Uehara said she lost the tag match today but she won’t lose to Toga in a singles match. Toga pointed out today is the first time she defeated Uehara under her own power, although it was still part of a tag match. Next time when it’s one on one she is going for the complete victory. She expects Uehara to come up with more counters after today just like Toga is preparing more for her.

Kira Summer deciding to become a superhero just like Hyper Misao wasn’t interesting enough to keep Raku & Pom Harajuku’s attention. The two of them snuck off up to the balcony while Misao introduced Summer wearing her own hero costume (wearing an eye mask and using the Australian flag as her cape). The two heroes followed their opponents up to the balcony where they got trapped under a banner and almost counted out of the match. They got back to the ring in time but Harajuku then stole Misao’s cape so she too pretended to be a superhero. Misao got it back by spraying Harajuku in the face. Raku stopped Misao from doing the I Am A Hero, allowing Harajuku to pin Summer with the Pom de Justice.

Prism Greed Homecoming, Uesaka’s Twilight Rouge

May 26, 2026

I thought I was going to have much more non-DDT news to catch up on but apparantly not. I’ll be travelling back home in the next few days but I’ll be all caught up so you probably won’t notice anything unusual, knock on wood.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ IN OSAKA”, 30/05/2026
Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall

1. 3 Way Match: Sakura Hattori Vs Mifu Ashida Vs Ren Konatsu
2. Arisu Endo Vs Shion Kanzaki
3. Hyper Misao & Kira Summer Vs Raku & Pom Harajuku
4. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs HIMAWARI & Chika Nanase
5. Miyu Yamashita & Toga Vs Shoko Nakajima & Wakana Uehara
6. Yuki Arai, Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Suzume Vs Yuki Kamifuku, Mizuki, Uta Takami & Mahiro Kiryu

Azalea Taisho Hall holds a special place in the hearts of Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro because that venue is where their tag team Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed was first formed.

This will also be Shion Kanzaki’s first time wrestling in Osaka. Arisu Endo is her opponent for this milestone.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STAND ALONE ’26”, 07/06/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Twilight Rouge Presents 3 Way Tag Match: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao Vs Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida
2. Yuki Aino, Ren Konatsu & Shion Kanzaki Vs Arisu Endo, Sakura Hattori & Kira Summer
3. Wakana Uehara Vs Toga
4. YuuRI Vs Chika Nanase
5. MIRAI Vs Haru Kazashiro
6. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Mahiro Kiryu
7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Mizuki & Uta Takami
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku

About time Chika Nanase gets a chance to prove herself on a bigger stage. YuuRI is stopping by Tokyo Joshi Pro to give her a match in Korakuen Hall.

TJPW already announced that Sumire Uesaka will be a special guest commentator on the show. Now we know the reason why. She is currently involved with running a vampire school themed café called Twilight Rouge and the café is going to be sponsoring the 3 Way Tag Match. The winning team will receive “1,000,000 R”, which is the gimmick currency used by the café (R meaning Rouge in this case). Uesaka along with several vampires from the café will present the prize to the winners after the match.

Uesaka is also currently the reigning Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion and earlier this week she had to juggle that responsibility with her café gig. Antonio Honda barged into the café a couple of days ago intending to beat Uesaka for the belt. However Uesaka protected herself by using vampire magic to hypnotise Honda and make him enjoy a drink on the premises instead. Then Uesaka gave Honda a message to go and tell everyone: “The portal to Twilight Rouge leads straight to the Demon Realm!”

6. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata

For the semi-main event HARASHIMA is going to face Viento Maligno in a singles match. I a certain this was put together for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with Shinya Aoki or any acquaintance of his that is currently out of sight and out of mind.

Match #4 is going to be changed because of Inahata’s injury. That match will also be the Japanese debut of Miles Karu in DDT. He is a Malaysian wrestler who previously appeared in DDT on their “LOVE & PEACE” show that was held in his country last November.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ IN SHINJUKU”, 22/05/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Yuki Arai, Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Suzume Vs Yuki Kamifuku, Mizuki, Uta Takami & Mahiro Kiryu

Tokyo Joshi Pro are getting a little experimental for their usual champions versus challengers tag match. Since they have shows taking place in Tokyo and Osaka in the next couple of weeks they are booking the same match twice so fans on the west side of Japan and the east side can all go see it! Tokyo gets the match first.

Wakana Uehara will not be at the show due to a scheduling conflict.

BASARA “BASARA 307 ~KOO~”, 29/05/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Daiki Shimomura & Takeru Inoue Vs Lil’ Kraken & Fuminori Abe

Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall

1. Yuki Arai, Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Suzume Vs Yuki Kamifuku, Mizuki, Uta Takami & Mahiro Kiryu

Osaka gets the rematch and Uehara will be there too.

DDT “KING OF DDT 2026 FINAL!!”, 31/05/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. King Of DDT – Semi Final: Minoru Suzuki Vs Shinya Aoki
2. King Of DDT – Semi Final: MAO Vs Danshoku Dieno
3. King Of DDT – Final: X Vs X

With four wrestlers left in the King Of DDT, only one of them is a previous winner. That’s MAO and his next opponent Danshoku Dieno last made it to the final in 2012, losing to Kenny Omega. The semi final stage is now the furthest that Shinya Aoki has ever progressed to. Minoru Suzuki is one step away from equaling the likes of T-Hawk and Yuji Hino as outsiders who reached the final in their first tournament entry.

DDT “OWARI WARS 2026”, 21/06/2026
Aichi Chunichi Hall & Conference

1. DDT Extreme Title: Hideki Okatani (c) Vs Junta Miyawaki
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA (c) Vs Yuki Ueno & To-y

The alleged future “Prince Of Nagoya” To-y wants to challenge for the KO-D Tag Team Titles and got the shot when he promised Yuki Ueno would be his tag partner. Chris Brookes is pretty confident that To-y won’t be able to beat him or HARASHIMA for the belts.

As part of Junta Miyawaki’s journey through DDT he wants to try and win the championship that bests represents DDT as a one of a kind company. That means he is going after the DDT Extreme Title. He also now has to prove to Hideki Okatani that he wants to be here and he wasn’t kicked out of NOAH.

DDT “DDT NEW YEAR☆DOTABATA FESTIVAL 2026” Results

January 10, 2026

DDT “DDT NEW YEAR☆DOTABATA FESTIVAL 2026”, 10/01/2026
Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – B Block: Takeshi Masada (2) defeated Hinata Kasai (0) with the Manburi (6:42).
2. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – B Block: Rukiya (2) defeated Yuni (2) with the Proto Bomb (6:52).
3. Harimao Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Kazusada Higuchi, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida defeated Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion when Ishida pinned Ilusion with the Flame Palm (7:16).
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku when Honda pinned Koroku after the Somato from HARASHIMA (6:54).
5. Akito & Daichi Sato defeated Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when Sato pinned Hirata with the PK (11:19).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) & Junta Miyawaki defeated Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Kazuma Sumi when KANON pinned Naya with a Cradle (12:48).
7. The 37KAMIINA Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Yuki Ueno & To-y defeated Daisuke Sasaki & Demus when Ueno pinned Demus with the Jul.2 (20:28).

A Block

1. Daichi Sato (2)
-. Kazuma Sumi (2)
3. To-y (0)
-. Ilusion (0)
-. Yuki Ishida (0)

B Block

1. Yuya Koroku (2)
-. Rukiya (2)
-. Yuni (2)
-. Takeshi Masada (2)
5. Hinata Kasai (0)

It’s a difficult task to focus on two opponents at once but Yuki Ueno is trying to do just that. He doesn’t have to worry about Chris Brookes doing anything shady behind his back but Daisuke Sasaki has now become a thorn in his side again. Sasaki threw a chair at Ueno during the main event but with To-y’s help, Ueno was able to pin Demus with the Jul.2 to get the win. After the match Ueno said fighting Sasaki like this brings back memories of their previous battles together and he doesn’t like how Sasaki can disrupt his rhythm. Sasaki then mocked Ueno and said standing in front of him again reminds Ueno of the bloody trauma Sasaki gave him in the past.

Junta Miyawaki is showing interest in fighting Kazuma Sumi more often.

Today was Daichi Sato’s first time fighting Danshoku Dieno. He didn’t want to go through with it but Akito told him it is a rite of passage for everyone in DDT to have a match with Dieno. After the match Akito praised him for going through with it and even said he wants to see Sato win a championship more than anything else. Sato doesn’t trust him though and refused to shake his hand.

Two B Block matches in the D GENERATIONS CUP took place at the beginning of the show. Rukiya utilized his hometown advantage to beat Yuni and score his first points in the block. Takeshi Masada took part in his first match of the tournament, beating Hinata Kasai in a bout that coincidentally linked the end of SCHADENFREUDE International with the beginning of FANTÔMES DRAMATIC.

D GENERATIONS CUP 2026

December 22, 2025

The fourth annual D GENERATIONS CUP tournament will this time crown a No. 1 Contender for the DDT Universal Title. It will consist of two round robin blocks containing five wrestlers each.

Wins are worth two points, draws are worth one point and no points are rewarded for Double Countouts or No Contests. Head-to-head results will be used as tiebreakers and if that does not work then a playoff will take place to determine the block winner on the same show as the final.

A Block

To-y (2024 Winner)
Daichi Sato
Yuki Ishida
Ilusion
Kazuma Sumi

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STEP FORWARD ’25” Results

November 29, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STEP FORWARD ’25”, 29/11/2025
Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall
288 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Toga defeated Chika Nanase with the Rock Bottom (8:28).
2. Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Uta Takami & Ren Konatsu defeated Harajuku pinned Konatsu with the Pom de Justice (8:23).
3. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated Mizuki & Mifu Ashida when Aino pinned Ashida with the Venus DDT (10:40).
4. 3 Way Match: Hyper Misao defeated Yuki Arai and Mahiro Kiryu when Misao pinned Kiryu with La Magistral Cradle (8:04).
5. Arisu Endo defeated Shino Suzuki with the Ju no Okite (8:39).
6. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Kaya Toribami & Kira Summer when Kamifuku pinned Summer with the Famouser (11:28).
7. Miu Watanabe & Shoko Nakajima defeated Suzume & HIMAWARI when Nakajima pinned HIMAWARI with the Northern Lights Suplex (15:42).

Today’s victory was a given for Miu Watanabe & Shoko Nakajima because according to Nakajima they are Mega Double Champions when they team together. Watanabe taunted Suzume by holding up the Princess Of Princess Title for her to see after the match but she acknowledged how much of a “nimble bee” she is and is being careful not to get stung by her. The winning team also gave thanks to Osaka because today’s show is the last to be held in this part of Japan in 2025. Suzume did throw her support behind Watanabe for her Princess Title defence against Matcha in Thailand next month. She appreciates that Watanabe is not putting her own title reign on hold just because Suzume has the big title shot scheduled for 4th January. She believes in herself too and can see herself beating Watanabe to become the new champion in the new year.

A new tag team has been established and they are already gunning for the Princess Tag Team Titles. Right after Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro won their match, Kazashiro asked if they could become a proper tag team. She said she isn’t Nodoka Tenma or Ryo Mizunami but she wants to be by Aino’s side forever. Aino said she’s been waiting for Kazashiro to ask her and she needs to make a promise that they go wild in Tokyo Joshi Pro and both become stronger in the process. YukiHaru then reappeared at ringside after the Ober Eats match to challenge them for the Princess Tag Titles. While Yuki Kamifuku was in the middle of thinking about it, Wakana Uehara couldn’t contain her excitement at being challenged for the first time and quickly accepted it. Kamifuku then decided they should do the match on 4th January because Uehara will get to eat a lot of food during the New Year period, which means she will be at her strongest by the time the match takes place. She also warned Uehara not to accept a challenge like this on her own again.

Pom Harajuku spent a lot of her match holding her hand out like it was a gun and threatening to shoot her opponents with it.

Both To-y and Sanshiro Takagi have been gambling their pocket money all week to try and raise funds for the Weapon Gamble Match. They blew a lot of money together on scratch cards then spent a day at a boat race event to try and win some money back.

Dieno Still Out Of Action, The Great Baka Mecha Wars, Title Matches In Bangkok

November 25, 2025

DDT “BAN’ETSU EAST LINE TRAIN PRO WRESTLING”, 29/11/2025
Ban-etsu East Line Train

There will be a train ride leaving Koriyama Station to the destination Iwaki Station where several street pro wrestling matches will be held. The matches will be announced on the day of the show.

The wrestlers taking part include Yuki Ueno, To-y, MAO, KANON, HARASHIMA, Kazusada Higuchi (replacing Danshoku Dieno who hasn’t been cleared to wrestle), Chris Brookes, Kazuki Hirata, Yukio Naya, Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku and Kazuma Sumi. Several of them will be on the train ride too.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STEP FORWARD ’25”, 29/11/2025
Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall

1. Toga Vs Chika Nanase
2. Arisu Endo Vs Shino Suzuki
3. Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Uta Takami & Ren Konatsu
4. Mizuki & Mifu Ashida Vs Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro
5. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao Vs Yuki Arai & Mahiro Kiryu
6. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara Vs Kaya Toribami & Kira Summer
7. Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi Vs Suzume & HIMAWARI

The Princess Of Princess Title match buildup is getting more serious with the big guns now starting to appear. Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi are teaming up as Daydream again for the first time since July to give Suzume a big challenge ahead of the title match. Suzume isn’t teaming with Arisu Endo to reform Daisy Monkey though. Maybe that will happen down the line. Instead she is teaming with HIMAWARI.

Miyu Yamashita won’t be on the show because she is still on her European tour.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 26: WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER?”, 02/12/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. The Great Baka Mecha Wars Volume 2: Mecha MAO Vs Takagi Sanshirobo (w/ Mad Dr. Hige) Vs X
2. BK-G Openweight Title – Mascara Contra Mascara: Mr. Malo (c) Vs Mr. Bueno

It’s been a while since Mecha MAO and Takagi Sanshirobo fought their epic mecha battles in front of everyone. Now a third mecha is entering the fight. The X in the The Great Baka Mecha Wars has been greatly hinted to be something in the form of Minoru Suzuki. The possibility of it brings my memories back to Suzuki’s infamous match with Mecha Mummy at a MUSCLE show where a Gotch-Style Piledriver into a shallow lake caused a massive explosion that destroyed Mecha Mummy while leaving Suzuki with a significant piece of technology embedded in his eye. Imagine thinking we would ever get a follow up to that ending 16 years later?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW X OCHA NORMA – OCHA PRO☆KORAKUEN”, 07/12/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Arisu Endo & Uta Takami Vs HIMAWARI & Haru Kazashiro
2. Ryo Mizunami, Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Mahiro Kiryu, Shino Suzuki & Chika Nanase
3. Ochanor Mask & Kaya Toribami Vs Wakana Uehara & Ren Konatsu
4. OCHA Pro Seikigun Vs Coffee Breakers: Miyu Yamashita, Rika Tatsumi & Mifu Ashida Vs Hyper Misao, Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer
5. Miu Watanabe, Yuki Aino & Toga Vs Mizuki, Suzume & Yuki Arai

The full card of the show’s wrestling portion has been decided. Miyu Yamashita, Rika Tatsumi & Mifu Ashida are joining forces as die hard fans of OCHA NORMA to defend the group’s honour against the Coffee Breakers of Hyper Misao, Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer.

The two masked women are being paired together as a tag team. Surely Kaya Toribami will find something in common with the newcomer Ochanor Mask.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE IN BANGKOK”, 13/12/2025
The Circus Studio, G Village, Bangkok, Thailand

1. IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami (c) Vs Raku & Pom Harajuku
2. MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs Alexis Lee
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Matcha

Two more title matches are added to the Thailand show, one of which clears up a piece of reporting from Fightful’s paywall that ended up being unintentionally sloppy. Their Patreon page reported that MLW are expecting Shoko Nakajima to defend the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title in Asia again in the next coming months. The problem is they reported this just days after she had a title defence in Japan for Tokyo Joshi Pro and they clearly had no idea that had happened, so it came off as both a late slip as well as “No shit, Sherlock.” Now we see that the title defence being talked about is this match against Alexis Lee that is happening at TJPW’s Thailand show but again, Fightful’s never gave any detail like that so their reporting still comes off like nobody over there pays attention to the product (and continues my gripes over MLW news often being just glorified press releases). Considering part of their audience for a time thought Marigold closed down because they hadn’t heard anything about the company from the site since its first Sumo Hall event shows how bad their general Japan coverage is. Even their recent report that many of New Japan’s deals with their wrestlers no longer default to January every year is old news to the die hard fans.

The new IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Champions will hold their first defence of the titles in Thailand. Yamashita & Toribami’s opponents are two wrestlers who have held championships in SETUP before and even fought over it in TJPW. Do Raku & Pom Harajuku have it in them to win more gold in Southeast Asia?

There will also be a small scale SETUP show taking place the same afternoon before this show although I don’t know if anyone from TJPW will be on it.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’26”, 04/01/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Suzume

January will see J-Rod come back to TJPW for a second tour. She will be at the 4th January show in Korakuen Hall as well as the 10th January show in Shinjuku FACE.

DDT “TROPICAL NANIWAN SUMMER” Results

July 19, 2025

DDT “TROPICAL NANIWAN SUMMER”, 19/07/2025
Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Ilusion defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with the Swanton Bomb (7:38).
2. Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani defeated Akito & Kazuma Sumi when Okatani pinned Akito with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (11:13).
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Danshoku Dieno, Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku defeated HARASHIMA, Naomi Yoshimura & Kazuki Hirata when Koroku submitted Hirata with a Wakigatame (0:04).
3a. Rematch: Danshoku Dieno, Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku defeated HARASHIMA, Naomi Yoshimura & Kazuki Hirata when Koroku submitted Hirata with a Wakigatame (11:17).
4. Jun Akiyama & Daichi Sato defeated Yuki Iino & Soma Takao when Sato pinned Takao with the Mad Splash (11:02).
5. SCHADENFREUDE International Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda when MAO pinned Honda with the Iai Kick (14:01).
6. Harimao Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Yuki Ueno & To-y defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida when Ueno pinned Ishida with the Jul.2 (17:52).

It’s starting to be noticed by others that Yuki Ishida hasn’t been getting good results in his matches lately. He took the fall in today’s main event after The37KAMIINA gave them a variation of the Mad Max and then Yuki Ueno pinned him with the Jul.2. After the match Ueno talked about the possibility that Kazusada Higuchi will beat Jun Akiyama on 30th August then the next day Ueno can beat Higuchi to become the new KO-D Openweight Champion. He then called out Ishida for regularly losing matches despite putting hard work and energy into them. His advice to Ishida is he should pursue what he thinks is best and bring it with him. Backstage Higuchi said ever since his title defence with HARASHIMA last week, Harimao has been facing nothing but adversity.

Momentum continues to build up for both Akiyama and Daichi Sato. Not only does Akiyama have the KO-D Title shot but the two of them will be challenging for the KO-D Tag Team Titles soon. They beat one half of the champions today but Yuki Iino put it out there that he hasn’t attempted to use the Spear even once during these preliminary matches. He warns that when he does give the Spear to Sato it will break his stomach and finish him off straight away! Meanwhile Akiyama is waiting for Yukio Naya to fully heal from his neck injury. He expects The Apex to be fully prepared for them as the defending tag champions.

Yuya Koroku instantly submitted Kazuki Hirata with a Standing Arm Lock so both teams agreed to restart the match. Koroku almost immediately submitted him again but Naomi Yoshimura was there to break it up this time. Then when Danshoku Dieno went into the Hell Gate position, Hirata took Bunbun from Takeshi Masada and stuck it into Dieno’s backside! Koroku got revenge by grabbing Hirata’s arm with Bunbun on it and making him give up to another Standing Arm Lock.

Interference from MJ Paul helped Ilusion avenge his recent pinfall loss to Tomomitsu Matsunaga. Paul got in the ring to attack Matsunaga behind the ref’s back and also distracted the ref so Ilusion could do a Low Blow. One DDT and Swanton Bomb later gave Ilusion the win.

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

1. Lil’ Kraken & Takeru Inoue Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shota Kawakami

A couple more matches added to BASARA’s return to Korakuen Hall. One of them is another match against GanPro to continue that inter-promotional rivalry. The other match is a complete cluster of BASARA wrestlers finding people to fill up a 3 Way trios match.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “FUCKED UP FEST 2025”, 03/08/2025
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR

1. Special Single Match: Munetatsu Nakamura Vs Tatsuhiko Yoshino
2. Special Single Match: MAO Vs K4PY
3. Special Single Match: Takeshi Masada Vs Gabai Ji-chan
4. Special Tag Team Match: Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei Vs Mr. Malo & Mr. Bueno
5. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs Kota Sekifuda

We have two special Baka Gaijin + Friends shows coming up in August. The first is the brand’s debut in Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR for the second ever “FUCKED UP FEST”. It will be a festival of wrestling and music that when mashed together results in the name of the show. Kota Sekifuda, Gabai Ji-chan and Tatsuhiko Yoshino are among the guest wrestlers taking part.

Sekifuda tweeted that when he made the decision to go leave Big Japan and go freelance, Chris Brookes was the first person who offered him a booking.

K4PY previously wrestled under the name Takahiro Katori. I think it’s just a fairly recent name change like within the last month or so.

DDT “D GENERATIONS 5 ~UNFINISHED SHACHIHOKO BOYS~”, 16/08/2025
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall

1. Ilusion Vs Mikiya Sasaki
2. Hideki Okatani Vs Ryoma Tsukamoto
3. Shota Vs Yuya Koroku
4. Special Tag Match: Daichi Sato & Yuki Ishida Vs Ryutaro Ono & Masanorikanu Watanabe
5. Special Single Match: To-y Vs Grand Passion Mask No. 4
6. Special Tag Match: Takeshi Masada & Kazuma Sumi Vs Yu Shimizu & Ali Najima

The D GENERATIONS lot don’t have to worry as much about the Young Communication on their next show because it is being held in Nagoya. That means several Nagoya based wrestlers will be facing them instead. Only Shota from the Young Communication generation will be there for a match against Yuya Koroku.

This caught my eye. Ryutaro Ono is a 35 year old CEO of five different companies (among them being related to agriculture, a café and welfare for the elderly and disabled) who only just debuted in pro wrestling for Sportiva Entertainment in May of this year. His tag partner for the match is MMA fighter Masanorikanu Watanabe.

DDT “OSAKA VS TOKYO – DREAM EAST VS WEST PRO WRESTLING BATTLE 2025”, 17/08/2025
Osaka Edion Arena #2

1. Rukiya Return Match: Rukiya Vs X
2. East Vs West Vs Unknown All-Out Competition ~ 3 Way Tag Match: Yuki Iino (Tokyo) & Yukio Naya (Tokyo) Vs Chris Brookes (UK) & Takeshi Masada (Osaka) Vs Ilusion (Unknown) & MJ Paul (Unknown)
3. East Vs West All-Out Competition ~ Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kuroshio TOKYO Japan (Tokyo), To-y (Saitama) & Kazuki Hirata (Tokyo) Vs Danshoku Dieno (Hiroshima), Shigehiro Irie (Osaka) & Mikiya Sasaki (Osaka)
4. East Vs West All-Out Competition ~ Special 8-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi (Hokkaido), Daisuke Sasaki (Tokyo), HARASHIMA (Tokyo) & Antonio Honda (Tokyo) Vs Yuki Ueno (Osaka), Hideki Okatani (Kochi), KANON (Ishikawa) & Kazuma Sumi (Mie)
5. Eastern Army Offer Match: MAO (Miyagi) (w/ KIMIHIRO (Tokyo)) Vs Super Sasadango Machine (Niigata)
6. Western Army Offer Match: Jun Akiyama (Osaka) Vs Miyu Yamashita (Fukuoka)

Two matches on the East Vs West show will focus on just one side of the country. The East side of Japan offers MAO against Super Sasadango Machine. Not bad. But the West side has come up with the utterly cracked pairing of Jun Akiyama Vs Miyu Yamashita! This is before Akiyama’s KO-D Openweight Title match too so if Yamashita somehow pulls out a victory, or maybe even a draw she may end up having an argument for getting a future KO-D Title shot herself!

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

A new face has signed an exclusive contract with Super Japan. But his alter ego should be familiar to a lot of people following this space. Mac Matsushita made debuted as a pro wrestler in Mexico but had a run in DDT and the indies as Maku Donaruto. You remember him, the super perverted Ronald McDonald gimmick? Yeah that’s the guy. Well, Sanshiro Takagi has been trying to get him to ditch the mask to wrestle as himself and he has succeeded in convincing him. Matsushita’s return match in Japan will be on the 19th August Super Japan show.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “MNL”, 22/08/2025
The Social House, Makati, Philippines

1. International Dream Match: Jake De Leon & Isaiah Valencia Vs Chris Bookes & Takeshi Masada

The second Baka Gaijin show of August will be their first time taking the show outside of Japan. Baka Gaijin is heading over to the Philippines as part of a weekend of wrestling put together by Dexcon. The first match announced sees Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada taking on the local pair of Jake De Leon & Isaiah Valencia.
