While Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi is dealing with his current bout of love sickness, Judo Master will be around to fill in for him. Master’s next appearance in BASARA will be for a match against the 2AW masked wrestler Tantan Menso. Although rumour has it the man under that mask is someone Hiroshi would already be familiar with. Someone who used to show up in DDT years ago as an X a lot…

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’26”, 08/11/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shiori Futaba Debut Match: Shiori Futaba Vs X
2. Next Generation Tournament ’26 – Final: Winner Of Winners Bracket Vs Winner Of Losers Bracket
3. Yuki Kamifuku & Nagisa Nozaki Vs X & X
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima

Another champion will be challenging Yuki Arai for the Princess Of Princess Title next. Shoko Nakajima wasted no time in demanding Arai make her the next opponent for the November Korakuen Hall show. She also currently holds the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title. If Arai turned down the temptation of winning the International Princess Title from Suzume then I doubt she has the desire to fight for Nakajima’s belt.

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.

He has an atheltic background in Karate, Judo, kickboxing and shoot fighting. It was with this background that GAJI was once scouted by K1 as well as some pro wrestling promotions. The idea behind this is for Takagi and GAJI to inspire all of the hard working middle aged people or older out there.

9. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro
10. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Suzume

The Kanda Myojin temple has been a busy location regarding Tokyo Joshi Pro this week. TJPW held a press conference there yesterday to promote three of the title matches taking place at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII” next month. Suzume said TJPW has taught her that she can pursue as many dreams as she wants no matter her age which is why she is greedy enough to challenge for the Princess Of Princess Title while also holding the International Princess Title. She thinks back to when she and Yuki Arai were younger. While Arai was performing on stage as a shining idol, Suzume was a shut in doing nothing but giving up on her dreams. Now the two will fight each other over the same dream and Suzume believes they will have the best match at EBARA WAVE Arena on 3rd October. Arai is so impressed by how much Suzume has grown not just in strength but also radiating with confidence. Arai admits she cannot match that drive but she will be entering the match as if she is the one challenging Suzume, not the other way around. Her goal is not to stop Suzume’s momentum or halt her progress. Instead she wants to create a new whirlwind that will propel herself even higher than Suzume!

One half of Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed is having a crisis of confidence heading into the Princess Tag Team Titles match. The prelim matches have made Haru Kazashiro consider that she is not on Daydream’s level and her own weaknesses have been exposed too much. Yuki Aino had to interrupt and motivate her, reminding Kazashiro of the Kamen Rider Hibiki episode where it is said that if you do not train your heart to be strong then you will lose. Kazashiro also remembers a quote from Kamen Rider Ghost about how you haven’t lost yet when you don’t think you lost. Prism Greed got even more motivated when they discovered Daydream when combined together look just like Evolt, the bad guy from Kamen Rider Build. Rika Tatsumi thinks it is cute that Prism Greed act like a newly dating couple. She wouldn’t mind if Miu Watanabe acted more affectionate towards her. But enough about that, the prelim matches have been a breeze for Daydream and beating small fry teams is part of what they need to do to break the record for most Princess Tag Title defences. Watanabe believes it is destiny for the strongest tag team to achieve that.

The EVE International Title match is kind of turning into a war of words about fashion. By representing EVE as one of their champions, Miyu Yamashita wants to defend the title and become a sophisticated woman worthy of Great Britain. She pointed out that the super colorful outfit Arisu Endo was wearing would stand out too much in the UK. She doesn’t deny that Endo has great fashion taste but she wouldn’t blend into the streets of London like Yamashita does with her current chic look. Yamashita’s mind is so set on representing the UK that even her watch is on English time instead of Japan. Endo warned Yamashita not to get jetlag over this because she wants to beat her at her best otherwise she wouldn’t be satisfied with taking the title from a sleepy champion. She also thinks Yamashita’s chic outfit is so plain and bland. There are so many colours in the world that Yamashita should at least use some of them. Yamashita fired back that Endo is so flashy that she’s exhausting to look at. By British standards her outfit would be 43 points out of 100.

In other news Kumadori’s dance group O-MENZ will be part of the show, performing during the entrance of Kumadori’s team with Aja Kong & Sakura Hattori.

Becoming, Death Volleyball Club, Wrestle Princess VII Main Event

August 24, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “BECOMING”, 29/08/2026
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi

1. Chika Nanase Vs Shion Kanzaki
2. Haru Kazashiro Vs Kira Summer
3. Shino Suzuki Vs Mifu Ashida
4. Wakana Uehara Vs Momo Sato
5. HIMAWARI & Toga Vs Uta Takami & Ren Konatsu

We already have DDT establishing D GENERATIONS as the shows dedicated to their younger wrestlers. Tokyo Joshi Pro are doing their own twist on things with “BECOMING”, an event that only features wrestlers who debuted in 2023 or later. If this idea catches on I can see it being used to host some matches for the Next Generation Tournament if that comes back for another year this year.

BASARA “BASARA 315 ~UTAGE~”, 11/09/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Yasu Urano Vs Takeru Inoue, Tomoki Hatano & Hajime

The build up for the next Iron Fist Tag Team Titles brings in some guys from HEAT-UP. According to the company’s profile on the wrestler, Hajime has a Capoeira background. I need to see for myself how much he puts that skill into his wrestling because that style has been absent around this corner of the wrestling world ever since Pedro Takaishi from Muscle retired.

BASARA “SHINJUKU FACE COUNTDOWN SERIES – BASARA 316 ~KOO~”, 23/09/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Hardcore 6-Man Tag Match: Isami Kodaka, FUMA & Shota Nakagawa Vs SAGAT, Lil’ Kraken & Minoru Fujita
2. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) Vs Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano
3. Union MAX Title -Dosukoi Gathering Presents-: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Ryota Nakatsu

The very first match in BASARA history had Ryota Nakatsu in it and took place inside Shinjuku FACE. So it is fitting that BASARA’s final show in the venue is being headlined by Nakatsu challenging Takumi Tsukamoto for the Union MAX Title.

Next to BASARA, HEAT-UP is the next promotion where Takeru Inoue wrestles the most often. He has formed a tag team with Tomoki Hatano over there called Death Volleyball Club, named after the devotion both wrestlers have towards the sport. Well, devotion might be a strong word but they’ve both been part of a volleyball club.  They also wanted a name that sounds cooler than Aijin Tag and came up with that. Now Inoue has tricked Aijin Tag into giving Death Volleyball Club a title shot despite having won nothing to deserve it.

Indie wrestler Shota Nakagawa makes his BASARA debut as part of a Hardcore trios match. He used to wrestle in Ganbare☆Pro for a while between 2017 to 2019 but I haven’t heard what he’s been up to since then.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII”, 03/10/2026
Tokyo EBARA WAVE Arena Ota

1. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Suzume

The next big match TJPW is putting together could be seen as a culmination of all the work that was done to push the second generation of main eventers. Suzume has won the Tokyo Princess Cup while holding the International Princess Title and it has encouraged her to get greedy. She now wants to fight Yuki Arai for the Princess Of Princess Title! Suzume has said she has no intentions of unifying the two championships if she wins this match. She already has an idea in mind of how to defend the two titles separately if given the opportunity. Arai meanwhile is putting all of her energy into defending the Princess Title to the point where she believes she is at her limit. She doesn’t think she could handle becoming a Double Crown champion so the International Princess Title will not be on the line for this match.

The venue we used to know as Ota Ward Gymnasium has now been renamed EBARA WAVE Arena Ota. The Ebara Corporation got the naming rights for the venue since April and the deal is to remain in place until 2030.

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.

9. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) defeated Miyu Yamashita with the Finally (19:16).
*V4 for Yuki Arai.

All throughout the build up to “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26” there was the question asking is Yuki Arai had the killer instinct to beat Miyu Yamashita one on one. Today she answered that question with an undeniable yes. This was Tokyo Joshi Pro’s big match for the summer and Yamashita egged on Arai to give her best shot. She found a way to break out of the Scorpion Death Lock by grabbing Arai in a Brain Claw when she bent over backwards too far. Arai kept up with her attacks and dealt enough damage to prevent Yamashita from pinning her immediately after the Skull Kick. Instead Yamashita tried to finish her off with the Crash Rabbit Heat but it was blocked. While Arai was still kneeling, Yamashita got in two glancing blows using the Skull Kick but Arai hit back with the Rookie Award to shift the momentum back to her. She then threw down Yamashita with the Full Nelson Buster and landed the Finally to get the three count in her biggest Princess Of Princess Title defence to date.

After the match Arai said she just defeated Yamashita which means she is now the one who will lead TJPW into the summer! She looks up to Yamashita because she helped train her as well as for being a cool and strong senpai. Beating her has given Arai a huge boost of confidence and now she feels like she cannot lose to anyone. With the Tokyo Princess Cup beginning on Monday, Arai wants everyone in TJPW to make this summer hotter than ever. Backstage Arai said there were points where Yamashita completely overwhelmed her but it never broke her spirit. Now she wants to win the Princess Cup as champion because she’s never won a tournament before. Yamashita talked about how feeling the joys of winning and the frustrations over losing. For the latter she always uses defeat to make herself stronger. Arai won today but Yamashita is still going to try and beat her. With the Princess Cup about to begin there is no time to rest.

It took a lot of time for Daydream to convince Kyoraku Kyomei into taking their challenge for a rematch from “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25” last year. This time around it was Daydream as the defending Princess Tag Team Champions and Kyoraku Kyomei as the challengers. Hyper Misao promised a clean fight although she and Shoko Nakajima then tried to jump the champions before the bell rang. The two teams brawed out of the ring and briefly disappeared from view. Kyoraku Kyomei emerged from one side of the room with the Hyper Mobile while Daydream were at the other end armed with sasumata poles. The two teams then charged at each other where they were caught in a stalemate. Rika Tatsumi was able to grab Mahiro Kiryu, sit her onto the Hyper Mobile and push her so she crashed the bike into Kyoraku Kyomei. Back in the ring Misao blinded Miu Watanabe with spray but that didn’t stop her from doing a Double Body Slam to the challenging team. Tatsumi followed up with a Double Figure 4 Leg Lock. The action got so intense that Misao ended up having her masked kicked off and she was put into the Dragon Sleeper. She countered it into the Hypami Returns but Tatsumi then avoided the Vanitas to hit her with a Hip Attack. While Misao got her mask back on, Watanabe threw Nakajima out of the ring Tear Drop style then gathered Kyoraku Kyomei together on the floor for Tatsumi to hit the Diving Hip Attack onto them. The then gave Misao the Daydream Believer back inside the ring to pin her and remain the champions. Daydream are thrilled to avenge their defeat from last year especially because Kyoraku Kyomei had become a stronger and even more incomprehensible tag team since then. Nakajima admits whenever she wrestles against Daydream she really feels alive. Misao is also feeling the determination to become an even stronger wrestler.

It turns out Wakana Uehara’s eyes are bigger than her stomach after all. Her attempt to completely devour Suzume and win the International Princess Title ended in failure. While Uehara met the low angle Ring A Bell with a Shining Enzuigri and used a Jackknife Hold to try and pin down Suzume, she couldn’t get the pinfall. Suzume also found a way to break out of the Banana Pillow by grabbing Uehara in a Headscissors to loosen up the grip. Uehara was lifted up and dropped down with the Gory Bomb which left her helpess to Suzume’s remaining signature moves. The Flying Facecrusher followed by the Ring A Bell ended the match with Suzume still holding her precious IP Title. Uehara tried to get some semblance of a last laugh by biting Suzume’s arm before leaving the ring. Suzume saw the funny side of it. Backstage she talked about wanting to prove the importance of her championship. She previously lost it to a junior with high expectations (Moka Miyamoto) so she’s been terrified of that happening to her again. Her goal now for the Princess Cup is to become the brightest star. Uehara said Suzume is a really spicy opponent and she is terrible when it comes to spicy food. She was expecting Suzume to taste sweet because she has such a sweet looking face. She was determined to finish her meal but couldn’t finish with the last bite so the lesson she learned is to not be so picky anymore. The only other time she couldn’t finish a meal was when she had a tempura rice bowl that was so oily it soaked the rice at the bottom and made them inedible.

Flight problems for Willow Nightingale prevented her from arriving in Japan on time for the show so her match with Mizuki was cancelled. Mizuki was given a new opponent on short notice although it is somebody she had fought in TJPW once before. It was Chris Brookes! Mizuki wasted no time in attacking him with the Pico Pico Hammer, striking him down the same way she did Andreza Giant Panda in the past. Yukinori Matsui took the hammer away from her but Brookes later got hold of it and gave Mizuki a bonk over the head before throwing her into a row of chairs at ringside. Mizuki tried finding ways to cut down her much taller opponent while Brookes bullied her around. Double Stomps and high risk moves off the ropes were the only way she could hurt Brookes but she was almost wipde out from taking a Shotgun Dropkick into the turnbuckles. Her last big play was to hit the Whirling Candy but it only got her a nearfall. After that Brookes caught her in midair and gave her a Tombstone Piledriver. While Mizuki did kick out of the pin, Brookes just gave her the Praying Mantis Bomb after that to win the match. Backstage Brookes brought up memories of the Magical Sugar Rabbits vs TeaDK match from 2024, his previous appearance in TJPW. He said today was fun and he thinks Mizuki would like hanging out in Baka Gaijin + Friends. Mizuki was happy to see Brookes fill in on such short notice because she has so much respect for him as a wrestler. Some day she will grow taller and score the three count on Brookes. She also still wants that match with Willow Nightingale.

The road to retirement begins for Yuki Kamifuku with a special 6-Person Tag Match being put together for her on this show. She teamed up with Kumadori (who she is friends with) & Sakura Hattori (who she thinks needs to find friends). On the other side was her wrestling father figure Sanshiro Takagi, the man who produced a special video for this match Yumehito Imanari and her long suffering former tag partner Mahiro Kiryu. Things took a turn when Kiryu redirected Kumadori & Hattori into both poking Kamifuku in the eyes. She apologised for it which then caused Imanari to apologise for allowing Kamifuku to be rude in her interview for the pre-match video. Takagi then apologised for farting in the ring while nobody was paying attention to him. Later in the match Kiryu ended up getting isolated from her team. Kumadori & Hattori both kept Takai & Imanari away so Kamifuku could win the match using the Diving Famouser. Kamifuku said her team were able to win through sheer willpower. She was also able to get away with insulting Takagi and punching him in the face. She feels bad for Kiryu though and wants to tell her to keep working even harder until the time comes for her own retirement so she doesn’t bring shame to the people of their age. Hattori said she hopes to meet Kumadori again because she found a lot of similarities between the two of them. Kamifuku told her she has to make that happen herself and that she shouldn’t count on anyone to simply book them in the same match again. Meanwhile Kiryu doesn’t want her story with Kamifuku to end here. She wants to fight her again and again before Kamifuku retires. Imanari agrees that she should get some revenge by the time December comes around. Takagi suggests Kiryu should increase her mahjong training.

Big bad Aja Kong paid another visit to TJPW this time to have a singles match against Arisu Endo. From the beginning Endo peppered Kong with Dropkicks then used the ropes to roll up Kong and keep her on the canvas so she could apply the Camel Clutch. Kong put a stop to that with a big kick to Endo’s stomach. She followed that with a beat down into her own Camel Clutch which had Endo fighting to reach a rope break. Endo turned the table by using the Mt. Bandai Missile Dropkick but Kong knocked her down with a Lariat and brought in the steel can to use as a weapon. Endo grabbed it off her but threw it back so when Kong caught it Endo could Super Kick it into her face. Kong eventually hit Endo over the head with the can and did the Back Drop but Endo kicked out of the pin. She then stunned Kong with a Straight Right Punch and flipped her over with the Waterwheel Suplex. That only irritated Kong who slapped Endo across the face, did another Back Drop and then landed the Diving Elbow Drop from the second rope to win the match. Backstage Kong brought up the story of her seeing Endo crying backstage after her match at “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” back in March. At the time she gave Endo the following advice: “It’s going to hurt anyway, so just punch them with your fist.” She didn’t actually expect Endo would do that to her today! If it turns out Endo dislocated Kong’s jaw then Kong will get her revenge tenfold or even a hundredfold some other time. Until then she hopes to see Endo win the Princess Cup and then win a championship so she can come challenge her for a title of some kind. She also didn’t use the Uraken today and wants Endo to remember that Kong has plenty of things to hit her with. Endo said that Kong’s words to her that day in Sumo Hall were like magic. She can keep on going no matter how much it hurts.

MIRAI’s return to TJPW so she could team up with Toga again was spoiled by Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed. After a lot of action back and forth, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro were able to avoid taking their opponents’ signature moves at the same time and instead to that to them. MIRAI was sent out of the ring after getting hit with Aino’s Diving Shoulder Block. Prism Greed then gave Toga their Elevated Reverse DDT finisher called the Updraft!! Overdrive to get the win. The two were happy to fight MIRAI again after waiting a long time for her to come back. Toga was annoyed over losing the match right before the Princess Cup begins but MIRAI gave her some encouragement. Toga promised to get stronger so MIRAI won’t forget about her.

The arrival of Shin Sakura Katsushika Hirota to TJPW made her partners for the day HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida very giddy. Hirota sung a song down to the ring and got on the microphone while Ashida was cheering with her pompoms and HIMAWARI was whipping her hair at Chika Nanase. Meanwhile Raku got fed up with the noise and tried to take a nap with Pom Harajuku. As the match went on Hirota tried to do a rope walk spot on Nanase but ended up slipping off it one too many times. She then picked her nose and chased after everyone with snot on her fingers. She tried to stick them into Nanase’s face but she ducked and they wound up getting into HIMAWARI’s mouth instead. When Hirota tried to interrupt the Goodnight Express, Raku sent her to sleep with a lullaby. Hirota also had trouble missing Harajuku with the Kancho attack. She was able to convince Harajuku to attempt the same rope walk she did. Harajuku failed and Hirota finally got her with the Kancho after doing a cartwheel to get into position. Raku, Harajuku & Nanase all tricked Hirota into looking behind her so she could get kicked in the shin. The match then broke down with HIMAWARI accidentally sticking her own fingers into Hirota’s mouth like earlier. Harajuku charged in but Hirota in her stunned state collapsed on top of her as she often does in matches. She was too much dead weight for Harajuku to kick out of and Harajuku got pinned as a result.

The pro debut of Momo Sato included the first use of her entrance song after Shion Kanzaki gave permission to use that instead of her own tune. That didn’t matter to Kanzaki because she got to do her mic work in the corner during the match. Ren Konatsu made fun of it while she was controlling the match with Sato in the ring. Sato got to hit some Shoulder Blocks and a Kneel Kick to Uta Takami but Takami trapped her in the Koala Clutch for the tap out. Both Takami & Konatsu are looking forward to pass on what they know towards Sato. So too is Kanzaki because Sato is going to be her first junior. Sato said her goal is to become a cheerful and bright pro wrestler who will aim for the top. She’s also going to keep an eye on Takami for being so cheerful and bright.

There are only a few announcements that were given out throughout the show. Both Hiroyo Matsumoto and Sumire Natsu will be at the 23rd August Korakuen Hall show, the same event where the Princess Cup final will be held. It will be Natsu’s first time in TJPW. Also TJPW’s final show in Shinjuku FACE before the venue shuts down will be held on 27th September.

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

June 27, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ FINAL”, 27/06/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
347 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated HIMAWARI & Kira Summer when Aino pinned Summer with the Venus DDT (10:24).
2. Toga & Uta Takami defeated Arisu Endo & Shion Kanzaki when Toga pinned Kanzaki with the Absolute Zero (10:40).
3. Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Mahiro Kiryu & Mifu Ashida when Raku pinned Ashida with the Doctor Yellow (9:18).
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Sakura Hattori defeated YuuRI & Chika Nanase when Kamifuku pinned Nanase with the Famouser (10:10).
5. Mizuki defeated Ren Konatsu with the Cutie Special (9:37).
6. Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Wakana Uehara defeated Yuki Arai, Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Suzume when Nakajima pinned Tatsumi with an Inverted Hurricanrana (17:59).

Several paths all leading to “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26” merged together in today’s main event pitting all of the Princess Champions against their upcoming challengers in an 8-Woman Tag Match. Hyper Misao got on the microphone to tell everyone she would win this match in a flash because she already beat Miu Watanabe last week. She then immediately removed the blue turnbuckle pad but was stopped by Watanabe and Rika Tatsumi used it as a weapon on Misao instead. Wakana Uehara focused on Suzume by trying to trap her in the Banana Pillow but was eventually taken out of action with a Facecrusher. Yuki Arai showed how dangerous her Scorpion Death Lock has become by using it on Miyu Yamashita to great effect but Misao was able to break it up. The match came down to Daydream against Kyoraku Kyomei with Misao saving Shoko Nakajima from being pinned with the Daydream Eternity and then leading Watanabe out of the ring. Tatsumi knocked Misao off the apron but when she turned around, Nakajima caught her in a Hurricanrana and scored the pinfall.

After the match Nakajima had a confession to make. She lied when she said it was not the right time for Kyoraku Kyomei to challenge Daydream for the Princess Tag Team Titles. Now that she found the courage to admit it, she wants to win the belts back. Misao agreed and the two of them signed the contract for the title match scheduled for 18th July. They offered to shake Daydream’s hands and Tatsumi responded by slapping their faces. That was only because she’s had to wait this long for them to finally agree. When they left, Suzume spoke to Uehara with some unexpected concern in her voice. Her team of champions didn’t win today and she feels both herself and Uehara weren’t good enough to compete with everyone else in the ring. Uehara couldn’t find the words to respond so Suzume just raised the International Princess Title up and left the ring. Yamashita admitted that Arai in her current form as Princess Of Princess Champion is strong but this July she is going to kick her down! Nakajima gave Uehara some motivation during the show ending speech and promised the fans that Kyoraku Kyomei, Yamashita and Uehara will all shine bright enough to wear the championships.

Today’s show went ahead over warnings of two typhoons hitting Tokyo over the weekend. Raku & Pom Harajuku came to the show prepared for the weather by wearing raincoats and carrying umbrellas down for their match.

It was announced that the trainee Momo Sato will make her pro debut for Tokyo Joshi Pro on 18th July. Sato is an idol from Harajuku Gakuen and also the younger sister of DDT wrestler Daichi Sato. She also has previous experience in wrestling including entering the Battle Royal that was held at “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” back in April. Sato promised she will do her best and give it her all when she debuts.

Summer Sun Princess ’26 Press Conference

June 18, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26”, 18/07/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Aja Kong Vs Arisu Endo
2. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Wakana Uehara
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

A contract signing ceremony took place today for the three championship matches taking place at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26” next month. Miyu Yamashita talked about how long its been since she last challenged for the Princess Of Princess Title and she hasn’t felt tension like this in a long time. She only wants to fight for that title when she has a vision of what she would be like holding it. She’s been in the ring with Yuki Arai plenty of times even going back to Arai training for her debut match. She loves seeing the fighting spirit in Arai’s eyes but when they had the singles match at the end of last year that only lasted a minute, Arai’s eyes were not filled with fighting spirit and Yamashita felt no excitement from beating her so quickly. Arai made up for it by submitting Yamashita with the Scorpion Death Lock a month later and that is the wrestler Yamashita wants to fight again when the title is on the line.

Arai talked about her debut match five years ago happening on the same show where Yamashita successfully defended the Princess Title. It was the first time Arai watched a title match in person and it left a strong impression on her. As champion Arai wants to become the kind of presence that Yamashita has but she is aware there are many things she needs to improve to get there. She knew one day she would fight Yamashita for a championship but never thought she would be the champion and Yamashita the challenger. She promises to excite Yamashita next month and show everyone she has become one or two levels stronger. Arai also told a story from her first year as a wrestler. She had hurt the inside of her mouth and didn’t want to eat food because it stung too much. However Yamashita kept offering her food like soup and making her take it. At the time Arai thought it was Yamashita being very strict until she realised it was being done out of love because Yamashita didn’t want Arai to starve herself and lose weight.

The weird situation over the Princess Tag Team Titles match is only getting weirder. Kyoraku Kyomei boycotted the press conference in their continued protest of being put in the match against their will. Rise Shirai had to tell Daydream to sign the contract first and then it would be signed by the challengers at a later date. Both Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi expressed their disappointment in the no show but they are certain the boycott will end and the title match will go ahead. Suddenly they were asked a question from Hasegawa an unknown reporter from a magazine called “Monthly Throwaway German”. Afterward came a question from someone named Hero Oka from the “Daily Hero” newspaper. The two reporters then insisted on asking more and more questions until they were suddenly standing face to face with Daydream. The disguises were then pulled off and the reporters were revealed to be Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao! Nakajima stole the contract from Shirai while Misao blinded Daydream with her Hero Spray. Since the contract currently only has Daydream’s signatures on them, that means the title match cannot go ahead. Kyoraku Kyomei will keep the contract for themselves to make sure it won’t take place until they say so!

When it comes to living her life, Wakana Uehara puts her full effort into everything that she wants to do. But lately she’s become interested in eating all of the rare delicacies she can find in the world. Things like crocodile feet, camel meat, tuna bone marrow or what she’s most interested in at the moment… wasp lava. She heard that wasp lava is soft, incredibly creamy and has a rich nuttiness that tastes great when cooked with rice. They can also taste like shrimp when deep fried and sprinkled with salt. When Uehara challenged Suzume for the International Princess Title, Suzume later made a tweet referencing The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Uehara promises to devour Suzume so much she will get a stomach ache but just like in The Very Hungry Caterpillar she will then turn into a beautiful butterfly in the end. Suzume joked that she’s been called delicious before because her outfits are bee and honey themed but this is the first time someone is threatening to fry her crispy. But she is too big to be eaten and her strong point is how she can beat opponents who are bigger than her.

The two singles matches underneath could end up being previews for a non-existent match down the line. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao don’t have a problem with wrestling Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi under normal circumstances but they’re not so enthusiastic over the reason why the these matches are happening here.

The further Daisuke Sasaki moves on from Best Of The Super Jr. the better. At least he doesn’t have to think about the tournament again for another 14 years. Now he can think about defending the O-40 Title with two opponents now chosen for the next title bout. Shuji Ishikawa and Keisuke Ishii both fit the bill so Sasaki will be fighting both in a 3 Way Match.

Ryunosuke Nagai is the 29 year old son of Mitsuya Nagai. He his pro debut last December and is showing up to “CHARISMANIA IV” for a match against MJ Paul.

The remaining lineup of the show at the moment is Hideki Okatani, Ilusion, Minoru Fujita, Yasu Urano, Sangre Aztca Jr. and Naohiro Katsumi.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26”, 18/07/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Aja Kong Vs Arisu Endo
2. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Wakana Uehara
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

We’re approaching the match that will either break the cycle or just start it all over again. Yuki Arai will be next defending the Princess Of Princess Title against Miyu Yamashita. In recent memory Yamashita once beat Arai in just over a minute but Arai then got to make Yamashita tap out in a 6 Way No. 1 Contender’s match that eventually led Arai to becoming the champion. With that said, Arai does not feel like she can call herself the true champion unless she can beat Yamashita one on one. Yamashita is coming into this match having just won the EVE International Title in England. Doing that made her want to win back the Princess Title even more. Is there no end to her insatiable desire for winning that championship again?!?

Last year’s “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS” had Kyoraku Kyomei beating Daydream in a defence of the Princess Tag Team Titles. This time around Daydream are the champs and they want a rematch at the show to avenge that defeat. The only problem is Kyoraku Kyomei do not want to challenge for the belts right now because they do not feel it is the right time to do so. They couldn’t win the titles in Las Vegas earlier this year and they don’t feel ready to climb that mountain again this soon. Daydream wants the match to happen anyway and it looks like they got their way. Protests from Nakajima & Misao may be on the way unless something happens to change their minds.

There’s no such trepidation in regards to the International Princess Title match though. Wakana Uehara is hungry to become the champion and isn’t shy about making puns about her appetite when it comes to challenging Suzume for the championship.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026”, 11/08/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Hinata Kasai 1st Anniversary Debut Match ~ Special Tag Match: Jun Kasai & Hinata Kasai Vs X & X
2. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Time Delayed Entry Battle Royal: Daichi Sato (c) Vs X
3. Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & X Vs Antonio Honda & X
4. Dramatic Dream Match: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Kaisei Takechi

It is only a matter of time until Hinata Kasai gets to team up with his dad Jun Kasai. It’s going to happen right when he celebrates the end of his first year as a pro wrestler. In the meantime, Hinata made it his goal to get his first direct win in a match before this show takes place.

*V1 for Daydream.
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) defeated Yuki Kamifuku with Finally (16:41).
*V3 for Yuki Arai.

You know for as much as Yuki Kamifuku says she dislikes being in championship matches she made a good go of it today. She upgraded her presentation with new ring gear and turned her match with Yuki Arai into a scrap where there were plenty of kicks aimed at each other’s faces. Kamifuku was fighting an uphill battle when she was put in the Scorpion Death Lock and later couldn’t hit the Famouser. She dodged the Finally only for Arai to catch up with her with the Rookie Award, then hitting her finisher after another attempt. Despite failing to win the Princess Of Princess Title, Kamifuku backstage said today she is the most beautiful and coolest she’s ever been. Her outfit was inspired by Doronjo from the Yatterman series and she wanted a fresh look that reminded her of her early days as a wrestler. She also credited Arai for cheekily stealing some of her moves today, although she admits those moves originally came from Saki Akai and Nao Kakuta. Kamifuku said she isn’t interested in challenging for the Princess Title again because she wants to move at her own pace and is tired of hearing everyone tell her she should be fighting for the white belt.

With three Princess Title defences now achieved, Arai got a surprise for who challenger No. 4 is going to be. Her victory speech was interrupted when Miyu Yamashita who unexpectedly walked down to ringside. It was unexpected because Yamashita was wrestling at an EVE show in England on Friday so she wasn’t advertised to appear on today’s show. She also won the EVE International Title over there and was carrying her latest championship over her shoulder. She told Arai that when she won this belt, the first thing that came to her mind was the Princess Title so she wants to win it back more than ever! Arai revealed that if the choice is up to her, she was going to nominate Yamashita anyway because she has not forgotten about last December’s match where she lost to Yamashita in just over a minute. She cannot accept herself as the true champion until she can beat Yamashita one on one! 18th July will be the day Arai promises Yamashita will never forget because it will be when Arai surpasses her and leads Tokyo Joshi Pro to move forward!

Rika Tatsumi will not accept Uta Takami as Mizuki’s new tag team partner but she has bigger fish to fry after Daydream successfully defended the Princess Tag Team Titles. Daydream want to prove that they are constantly evolving as a team and proved it today with a new tag team finisher. The Daydream Believer is a combination of Miu Watanabe’s Tear Drop with Tatsumi’s Missile Hip Attack. The move was super effective on Takami and won the match for the champions. Watanabe also found a new way to give the Giant Swing to two people at once, spinning Takami around from the front while Mizuki fell back from the piggyback position to be spun around behind Watanabe. Mizuki thinks she should be upset over the defeat but she cannot help but smile. Takami works so hard with her and that’s the reason why Mizuki got to challenge for the tag titles she never thought she would ever reach again. She doesn’t want to stifle Takami’s potential and encouraged her after the match to do what she enjoys. If she happens to be a part of that then she will continue to team with her.

To go along with their evolution, Daydream told the fans they have a new goal for the summer and called out Kyoraku Kyomei to come down to the ring. Daydream lost to them at last year’s “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS” show and want revenge at this year’s event so they are nominating them as their challengers for the show. They expected Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao to eagerly accept but instead they refused! Nakajima said they are not ready to fight for the belts so soon after they failed to beat The IInspiration in Las Vegas. Misao also said her memories of that summer are very special to her and it is too early to try and surpass it. The champions disliked their answer and Tatsumi brought up a lesson her grandmother used to say: “He who chases two rabbits catches both!” Daydream got out of the ring and grabbed the pair of sasumata poles they used to torture Kyoraku Kyomei last year! They used the poles to pin Nakajima & Misao into the corners until they convinced themselves that Kyoraku Kyomei accepted the challenge. However nothing has been decided by TJPW yet and Misao is forming the Challenge Cancellation Community to protest any chance of the title match going ahead at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26”.

How far can an apology take you? All the way up to getting a championship match, I guess. Mahiro Kiryu got to fight Suzume for the International Princess Title and just like Kamifuku in the main event, showed up to her match in a brand new costume. She took Suzume outside the ring and laid her on some of the chairs in the front row so she could do her Apology spot to the fans up close. She also used the apology dogeza to lock Suzume into a Jail Hold. Her momentum was cut off with the Ring A Bell but she was determined to win, shouting that she wants to be a champion after she caught Suzume in the Spinebuster. But Suzume got back to the top rope and did the Flying Facecrusher before pinning Kiryu with the Ring A Bell.

After the match, Wakana Uehara walked out to declare herself Suzume’s next challenger. She remembers an interview where Suzume said Wakana has a very hungry spirit. Today she is much, much hungrier than she was back then and she wants to devour the International Princess Title! Suzume said she loves her hungry spirit and always wanted to experience it in person. But this is a championship so big she doesn’t think Wakana has the appetite to finish it! The title match was agreed on and will take place on 18th July. Backstage Suzume said she wants to thank Kiryu for today because they are very close to each other. She hopes to have another special day like this with her sometime. Uehara said ever since Ober Eats lost the Princess Tag Titles, she was worried about what to do next. After wrestling in singles match recently she now really wants to win a singles title so the time is right for her to challenge Suzume.

The presence of Sumire Uesaka at today’s show led to some chaos happening over the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. She was at the show to do commentary as well as watch over the 3 Way Tag Match sponsored by her vampire café Twilight Rouge. Before the show began, Antonio Honda broke into the venue attempting to attack Uesaka for the belt. However Uesaka used her Twilight Rouge powers to send Honda twirling out of the building.

The 3 Way Match showed Kyoraku Kyomei are at their strongest when something is on the line. At least that is according to Misao’s speech at the start of it. Throughout the chaos Raku & Pom Harajuku tried to send their opponents to sleep, Mifu Ashida was almost smothered with a duvet and HIMAWARI’s hair was used for a tug of war by everyone else. Harajuku aimed to hit Pom de Justice on both Nakajima and HIMAWARI at the same time but only got HIMAWARI with it. Nakajima dodged the moves and cradled Harajuku in a Jackkknife Pin to win the 1,000,000 R (Rouge) store credit for Uesaka’s café.

Then the Iron Man Title hijinks broke out after the match. Nakajima bit Uesaka’s arm while receiving her prize, making Uesaka give up the belt to her. Then Misao rolled up Nakajima to become the new champion. Uesaka got so mad she took her prize back and angrily left the ring. However Kyoraku Kyomei followed her back to the commentary table to apologize so she would give it back to them. That was when Harajuku rolled up Misao from behind the win the title from her.

Things did not calm down backstage. Misao decided a trip to the Twilight Rouge would heal her broken heart after losing the Iron Man Title but Nakajima ran off with both certificates. HIMAWARI wasn’t happy with Ashida for using her hair as a weapon and threatened not to team with her again. Then Raku woke up from a nap and discovered Harajuku was now the Iron Man Champion so she started chasing her around the locker room. Harajuku escaped to an empty room where she thought she was safe. Suddenly she found a pair of Hirata GO! glasses and when she put them on, Kazuki Hirata appeared behind her armed with a hammer! Hirata hit Harajuku over the head and pinned her to win the Iron Man Title, presumably bringing the belt home to DDT. Hirata celebrated by saying the Bullet Train ticket will be his. DDT has a contest going on where whoever makes it to “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026” as the Iron Man Champion will be rewarded with a year long Bullet Train pass that applies for DDT’s regional shows.

MIRAI was very impressed with Haru Kazashiro after their first match together. She is particularly impressed with Kazashiro’s Arm Lock holds since she only has three years of experience. The thought of what Kazashiro can turn into scares MIRAI but she is happy to see a wrestler so young quickly master joint locks when throws and grappling moves are seen to be cooler and more appealing. If Kazashiro can master submission moves to other parts of the body then MIRAI thinks she will become an unstoppable monster! Kazashiro thinks something about herself has changed since her IP Title match with Suzume last month although it’s nothing dramatic. It was strange to fight MIRAI because Kazashiro watched so much of her back in TJPW when she was a fan. She’s happy to have fought her but also feels frustrated over giving her all yet still losing.

Uehara was one step ahead of Toga which frustrated the latter because she thought it was the other way around based on last week’s result in Osaka. When Toga did the Rolling Thunder, Uehara absorbed the blow to grab her into the Banana Pillow. But Toga got out of it and did a Fall Away Slam. She also resisted a Dropkick in order to hit Uehara in the back with the Elbow Strike. She did it again only for Uehara to give her a Suplex and counter the Absolute Zero with an Enzuigiri. That stunned Toga and left her open for Uehara to pin her with the Sushi Tornado. Toga rolled out of the ring afterwards to avoid having to shake her opponent’s hand. Backstage Toga said that simply chasing after somebody she admires won’t be enough to catch her up to Uehara. She’s going to have to move forward in her own way instead.

Things were kind of more friendly between Chika Nanase and YuuRI in their match. YuuRI told Nanase at the start it is nice to see her and they shook hands. It got more intense with Nanase trying to fight from underneath while YuuRI’s tactic was to drain down her opponent’s stamina. Nanase dodged the 619 and also hit a Running Elbow for a nearfall. YuuRI prevented her from applying the Inari Torii and instead rolled her into a Body Scissors Sleeper Hold to win by submission. YuuRI called it a special match because Nanase is fun to wrestle with. She hopes to be invited back to TJPW so she can wrestle with her again along with other people like Toga. Nanase also described the match as a dream that came true that she wished would last forever. However she got a little slap across the face from YuuRI after the match and she won’t forgive her for that!

New costumes were also shown off by Sakura Hattori and Ren Konatsu in the opening match while Yuki Aino had now dyed her hair black. Kira Summer worked over on Shion Kanzaki until Kanzaki was able to tag in Aino. But it was Arisu Endo who took the match home by Super Kicking Konatsu and pinning her with the Ju no Okite. In the locker room Endo told Hattori it’s been a while since they were last in the ring together, then corrected herself and acted like they were now just meeting for the first time. Kanzaki tried to apologise to her team over the result but Aino gave her encouragement because all of the support she’s been receiving is causing her to do her best. Aino also motivated Konatsu to refine her wrestling style and become even more ambitious so she can aim for greater heights.

From the mind of Hyper Misao, the fourth annual “HYPE!” show will be held in Kitazawa Town Hall on 15th September.
