*V7 for Aijin Tag.

BASARA history is being made after today with Aijin Tag having tied the record for most Iron Fist Tag Team Title defences in a single reign. Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura were their challengers today thanks to winning this year’s IRON FIST Tag Tournament but Shimomura fell to Masato Kamino’s Lariat while Katsumura was too busy fighting with Takato Nakano outside the ring to save his partner. Aijin Tag took back their complaint that Shimomura & Katsumura had an easy ride through the tournament and praised them for being strong opponents. Nakano & Kamino then talked about how hard they worked together for the last ten years and now they are the kings of the tag team scene on the independents! Over on the other side, Shimomura said he likes the dynamics of teaming with Shimomura so much that he wants it to continue in either BASARA or Ganbare☆Pro. Shimomura though is currently feeling exhausted and he has two back to back title matches in one day coming up in GanPro to worry about. But if he does win the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title he wants to bring it over to BASARA.

It was revealed that Isami Kodaka chose Takashimadaira Kumin Center to be the venue for his Union MAX Title challenge against Takumi Tsukamoto because he believes that is where there rivalry was born. Also since he became the next challenger out of winning an Elimination Tag Match, he wants the title match on 23rd November to add an Over The Top Rope Elimination rule as an extra win condition. He then joked that it will boost his odds of winning the match by 1%. Tsukamoto agreed on the condition that the match will also be Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls so their rivalry can be settled once and for all. He is confident he can beat Kodaka without losing a single fall.

Before this month’s court proceedings began, Gouma Ryu and Banana Senga spent some time talking about the TV show “VIVANT”. Senga then told everyone he is ready to talk for 20 minutes straight once the trial starts. Shota Nakagawa was accused of embezzling donations by acting like the money was being collected for an animal welfare organization. Nakagawa quickly showed proof of his innocence by providing evidence of the money being legitimately transferred to the charity. However Senga wanted to continue talking so he brought up a magazine cover that Nakagawa appeared in, claiming he was somehow profiting from the charity. Nakagawa again proved he was innocent by explaining it was for a free paper and he received no money for doing the photoshoot. Senga continued throwing accusations at Nakagawa including one referencing the recent shoplifting scandal revolving around the comedian Hiroyuki Sugiyama. After being told only five minutes had passed, Senga lost his cool and turned the crowd against him by claiming that BASARA’s female fans only go to shows in order to ogle at the male wrestlers. Soon Nakagawa found himself having to fight both Ryu and Senga but he was easily able to beat them and earn a Not Guilty verdict.

DDT “DIRECT FROM OTAKANOMORI! LUCHA LIBRE PRO WRESTLING EVENT ~FEATURING AN APPEARANCE BY EL NAGALE!~”, 31/10/2026
Chiba Nagareyama City Otakanomori Forest Town Plaza

2. Rappi Yoshikawa & Princess Misato Vs Sakura Hattori & Ren Konatsu
3. Masaaki Mochizuki, Toru Owashi & El Nagale Vs Poison Sawada JULIE, Kashiwa Hardcore & Matsudo Inferno

I’m puzzled as to what this show is. Something with wrestlers from Dragon Gate, JTO and Tokyo Joshi Pro along with a bunch of local luchadors that have gimmicks inspired by the Chiba location they are in. Toru Owashi seems to have a hand in putting this event together alongside Makoto Oishi. I assume one of them knows who this El Nagale person is.

DDT “TENSHIN-SAI”, 31/10/2026
Chiba Matsudo Central Park

1. Falls Count Anywhere Match: Tenshin Nasukawa, Yuki Ueno & Shinya Aoki Vs Danshoku Dieno, Takeshi Masada & To-y

On the same day there is another DDT match happening in Chiba with a big name boxer involved. Tenshin Nasukawa worked with DDT back in 2018 when he made some ABEMA related promotional appearances on episodes of the weekly series “MAJI MANJI”. He is promoting an outdoor festival and has invited DDT to hold a Falls Count Anywhere match there. He gets to be a part of it too!

The latter wants to fight Takeshita instead of Dieno while Dieno is determined to make sure his incredibly lewd plans for wrestling Sasaki will go ahead. He can also get Takeshita involved in those plans too.

6. STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION Vs FANTÔMES DRAMATIC!: MAO & Yukio Naya (w/ YUZUKI) Vs Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda

DDT will be welcoming “The Ace Of Thai Wrestling” onto their shows later this month. Shivam is a wrestler I’ve written about a lot in the DDT Around The World articles for a good while now whenever a DDT wrestler travelled over to compete on SETUP shows. DDT finally gets to return the favour although wouldn’t Shivam fit in more with DAMNATION T.A rather than against them, given the whole REAL GLOBAL THREAT gimmick?

BASARA “BASARA 319 ~UTAGE AOI – SOUEN~”, 27/10/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Turnabout Pro Wrestling Trial: Shota Nakagawa Vs Banana Senga Vs Gouma Ryu
2. Ryota Nakatsu Vs Tantan Menso
3. 3 Way Tag Match: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Tsutomu Oosugi Vs Daichi Kazato & Yasu Urano Vs SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken
4. Takumi Tsukamoto & Takeru Inoue Vs Isami Kodaka & FUMA
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) Vs Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura

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

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

1. Next Generation Tournament ’26 – Final: Winner Of Winners Bracket Vs Winner Of Losers Bracket
2. Yui Debut Match: Yui Vs X

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

A time limit draw on yesterday’s show is spurring on Suzume and Uta Takami to continue fighting until they can determine a winner. It now begins Suzume’s quest to make the International Princess Title shine just as brightly as the Princess Of Princess Title.

Miyu Yamashita, HIMAWARI and Sakura Hattori will all be missing from the show. Yamashita will be wrestling in England for EVE that weekend while the other two both have scheduling conflicts.


Great Wakabayashi-kun Returns, Upcoming BASARA Title Matches, A Love Triangle Is Happening To Love Triangle

October 13, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW FALL TOUR ~RAY OF HOPE IN KASUKABE~”, 24/10/2026
Saitama Katsuki Fureai Cube Matsunaga Multipurpose Hall

1. Next Generation Tournament ’26 – Losers Bracket: Momo Sato Vs Loser Of Match 1B
2. Next Generation Tournament ’26 – Winners Bracket: Ren Konatsu Vs Winner Of Match 1B
3. Special Tag Match: Miyu Yamashita & Yuki Kamifuku Vs Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine

BASARA “BASARA 319 ~UTAGE AOI – SOUEN~”, 27/10/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) Vs Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura

The makeshift duo of Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura ended up winning the IRON FIST Tag Tournament and are now set to face Aijin Tag for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles.

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

1. Next Generation Tournament ’26 – Final: Winner Of Winners Bracket Vs Winner Of Losers Bracket
2. Yui Debut Match: Yui Vs X
3. Shiori Futaba Debut Match: Shiori Futaba Vs X
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Nagisa Nozaki Vs X & X
5. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro (c) Vs Raku & Pom Harajuku
6. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima

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

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

BASARA “BASARA 321 ~TAKAGARI 36~”, 23/11/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Isami Kodaka

Even Isami Kodaka himself would admit he’s past his best days but the chance has come up for him to become the Union MAX Champion one more time. The current champion Takumi Tsukamoto is one of the people Kodaka has entrusted to actually running the company behind the scenes.


BASARA “BASARA 318 ~TAKAGARI 35~” Results

October 12, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 318 ~TAKAGARI 35~”, 12/10/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – A Block Final: SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Shota Nakagawa when SAGAT pinned Nakagawa with the Gore Grind (11:40).

3g. Isami Kodaka eliminated Takeru Inoue with the Isamiashi Zan (19:57).
4. Tantan Menso defeated Judo Master with a Gedo Clutch (7:37).
5. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – Final: Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura defeated SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken when Shimomura pinned Kraken with the Swanton Bomb (14:01).

Earlier today at a Ganbare☆Pro show in the same venue, Shuichiro Katsumura talked about how potentially wrestling three matches in one day is a piece of cake for him. He ended up only having to wrestle in two. He and Daiki Shimomura received a bye into the IRON FIST Tag Tournament final because Ayato Yoshida suffered a left knee sprain at a 2AW show earlier in the day and had to be pulled from this show. The Super Family defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Shota Nakagawa in the only semi final to happen on the show. In the final SAGAT was able to break out of Katsumura’s Ninja Choke but Shimomura scored the win by pinning Lil’ Kraken with the Swanton Bomb.

After they were rewarded with the trophy, Shimomura thanked Katsumura for teaming with him on short notice before calling Aijin Tag to come into the ring. They made fun of the Iron Fist Tag Team Champions for getting eliminated in the first round and then asked when they are getting their title shot? Takato Nakano pointed out that Shimomura & Katsumura only reached the final because of a bye and it doesn’t sit right with him that they won the tournament without having to wrestle Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida first. He decided the title match will happen on 27th October and Masato Kamino promised they won’t lose to a pair of scrawny little runts!

Judo Master and Tantan Menso spent their match arguing whether or not tantanmen ramen is a Japanese dish or a foreign dish. It is based on a Chinese recipe but Menso claims it is a domestic product because the ingredients come from Chiba. Master tried to attack Menso with a pair of nunchucks but ended up getting pinned with a Gedo Clutch.

By being the sole survivor of the Elimination Tag Match, Isami Kodaka challenged Takumi Tsukamoto for the Union MAX Title. Kodaka explained that he usually isn’t very good with Elimination Tag stipulations so winning one today should definitely earn him a title shot. Tsukamoto accepted and also allowed Kodaka to choose the date and location of the match. Kodaka picked Takashimadaira Kumin Center, the venue they are in right now and the match will happen at BASARA’s next show here on 23rd November. Tsukamoto warned that he is incredibly strong right now and Kodaka is completely aware of that.

With Yoshida pulling out due to a sudden injury, 2AW sent over Chicharito Shoki to the show as a last minute replacement. BASARA decided to eliminate Kazato & Yoshida from the tournament so Kazato’s new match was a singles bout with Shoki. During the match Shoki started imitating Yoshida by finding different ways to bully Kazato. It reached a point where Kazato had to convince Shoki he wasn’t Yoshida while speaking as if Yoshida was no longer among them. The two wrestlers hugged and Shoki suddenly cradled Kazato for the three count. Both of them then encouraged the fans to chant for Yoshida.

5. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – Final: X & X Vs X & X

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

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.

The idol to pro wrestling pipeline continues to pay off for Tokyo Joshi Pro. They will soon be bringing in Shiori Futaba from Congrazie! so she can take part in her debut match. She and Congrazie! were part of the Tokyo Idol Festival shows that TJPW held two months ago. Futaba even briefly held the Iron Man Title for two minutes back then. She wants to go through with this because she felt a connection with fans doing that show and she would like to have Shoko Nakajima be part of her match. No decision has been made if this will become a regular thing for Futaba or just a one time match.


BASARA “BASARA 317 ~UTAGE~” Results

October 2, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 317 ~UTAGE~”, 02/10/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takumi Tsukamoto, Minoru Fujita & Yasu Urano defeated Gouma Ryu, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga when Tsukamoto submitted Ryu with a Crab Hold (8:46).
2. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – A Block Round 1: SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken defeated Judo Master & Muscle Master when Kraken pinned Judo with the Period. (11:23).
3. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – B Block Round 1: Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Isami Kodaka & FUMA when Shimomura pinned Kodaka with the Asai DDT (16:30).
4. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – A Block Round 1: Ryota Nakatsu & Shota Nakagawa defeated Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano when Nakagawa pinned Inoue with the Swanton Bomb (12:16).
5. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – B Block Round 1: Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida defeated Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Kazato pinned Nakano with the Rocket Punch Body Press (14:11).

The first round of this year’s IRON FIST Tag Tournament sees some big teams already getting eliminated including the reigning Iron Fist Tag Team Champions! That’s right, Aijin Tag lost to the odd couple team of Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida. The result is disastrous for Aijin Tag because Yoshida spent just as much time trying to fight Kazato as he did with them. He even put Kazato through a table and left him for Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino to pick up the scraps. However Kazato wouldn’t give up and seemed to finally win over Yoshida when he bit the bullet for one of the opponent’s double team moves. Kazato then took advantage of the confusing chaos to land the Rocket Punch Body Press on Nakano and pin him for the victory. Aijin Tag blame themselves for the loss and will watch the rest of the tournament from the sidelines to see who will challenge them for the tag titles next. Meanwhile Kazato thanks the fans for their support while Yoshida said the fans should be thanking him because he’s the only reason why he and Kazato won today.

Ryota Nakatsu & Shota Nakagawa joked that they used the power of baseball to defeat the Death Volleyball Club. In reality the admit they didn’t rely on a lot of teamwork between them and even suffered some friendly fire that could have cost them the match. They also think if Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano can be called a volleyball club then maybe Nakatsu & Nakagawa can call themselves The Walk Club.

On paper the team of Isami Kodaka & FUMA should be competitive enough to run the bracket but they’ve been knocked out in the opening round thanks to Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura. FUMA got caught up in Katsumura’s Ninja Choke while Shimomura used the Asai DDT on Kodaka to pin him. The winning team thought they were facing Aijin Tag in the next round and were surprised to find out that won’t be the case. They agreed not to get pulled into Kazato’s world of playing games and instead go for a quick victory. It will be a busy day for Katsumura because he will be wrestling at Ganbare☆Pro too.

The first match in the bracket had to be changed when Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Seiya Morohashi both fell ill with love sickness. The team replacing them were the masked men of Judo Master & Muscle Master. The team introduced themselves as the “Master Of Softness” and the “Master Of Hardness”. SAGAT responded by calling the two of them hard to deal with. He also seemed to recognise Muscle Master was really Morohashi judging by his body shape. SAGAT unmasked him and discovered that Morohashi had his face painted like The Great Muta underneath! Morohashi gave SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken some Dragon Screws then sprayed water instead of Poison Mist. The water missed and got Judo Master by mistake. Krake then gave Judo the Period. for the three count. The Super Family think they won the match but also believe the could have been just a fever dream.

The semi finals on 12th October will be SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken Vs Ryota Nakatsu & Shota Nakagawa and Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida.

7. CASPA Presents Tag Match: Yuki Arai & Miyu Yamashita Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo

The last Tokyo Joshi Pro event in Shinjuku FACE is also the go home show for “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII”. This is the last chance for the two Daisy Monkey wrestlers to get everything in place for their title matches. Suzume thinks she almost has Yuki Arai figured out. Can’t quite say the same for Arisu Endo in regards to Miyu Yamashita at the moment though. That Tokyo Princess Cup match from last year is drifting further and further away as time moves on.

Nothing solves problems in a relationship better than throwing a ninja into them mix, that’s what I always say.
