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.

May 16, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHE KNOWS HER WAY ~SHINO SUZUKI HOMECOMING SHOW~”, 16/05/2026
Shizuoka Shimizu Marine Building
237 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Wakana Uehara defeated Shion Kanzaki with the Sushi Tornado (7:59).
2. Hyper Misao defeated Mifu Ashida with the Chickenwing Face Lock (7:21).
3. Miyu Yamashita & Sakura Hattori defeated Raku & Pom Harajuku when Yamashita pinned Harajuku with the Attitude Adjustment (10:08).
4. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Mahiro Kiryu & Chika Nanase when Suzume pinned Nanase with the Ring A Bell (13:20).
5. Mizuki, Yuki Aino & Uta Takami defeated Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Ren Konatsu when Takami submitted Konatsu with the Koala Clutch (11:58).
6. Yuki Arai defeated Kira Summer with the Scorpion Death Lock (7:47).
7. Shino Suzuki & HIMAWARI defeated Haru Kazashiro & Toga when Suzuki submitted Kazashiro with the Modified Cobra Clutch (14:17).

Today was Shino Suzuki’s day in the spotlight with Tokyo Joshi Pro paying a visit to her home area of Shizuoka. She made the most of it by winning the main event and tapping out Haru Kazashiro to get there. With this being her third homecoming show in her career, Suzuki said she feels very fortunate to get these events and to wrestle with her classmates like HIMAWARI, Kazashiro and Toga. However it frustrates her that she never takes advantage of these opportunities and is always falling behind everyone else. But today proves she will always reach her destination no matter the circumstances. She’ll sometimes get stuck in traffic and may need to take a back road but ultimately she will guide everyone in TJPW to where they want to go. She hopes there will be more homecoming shows for her in the future. HIMAWARI told her she’ll have to win in every main event for them from here on out.

Jealousy is rearing its ugly head towards Rika Tatsumi as she getting fed up of seeing Mizuki getting along with Uta Takami instead of her. Her feelings on the matter are getting noticed by Mizuki and Takami too. Today was the first time in a while Mizuki got to wrestle Tatsumi and see isn’t looking forward to doing it several more times in the near future. Takami says the relationship between those two is scary but also precious. Tatsumi is convinced Mizuki wants to be with her instead of the “naughty koala” and her proof is the way Mizuki clung onto her during the match. Miu Watanabe admits the “naughty koala” can be very annoying but is also very dangerous. They both agree that they should capture it quickly, probably at the next prelim match.

Suzume said that when Mahiro Kiryu asked to challenged her for the International Princess Title, she could see the Kiryu that she spends time with outside the ring rather than the Kiryu that is a pro wrestler. She is happy to put the title on the line against her because Kiryu is both her senior and her friend but she’s a little worried for that reason too. Kiryu is determind to face her and thinks today’s match was good preparation despite being on the losing side. She knows she will have to neutralize Suzume’s strengths but doesn’t want to reveal all of her tricks before the title match.

Whenever TJPW held a show in North America this year, they often relied on a referee who was only ever referred to by the name Mike. Well it turns out after working some of their shows in America and Canada, he has now travelled over to Japan and worked on today’s show! His match just so happened to be the one with Pom Harajuku in it and she screamed in his ears just like all the other times they were in the ring together. Meanwhile Raku brought out a fishing rod with a packet of potato chips attached to distract Miyu Yamashita & Sakura Hattori with. It distracted Yamashita long enough for Harajuku to catch her in a butterfly net. Yamashita took it off her head pretty easily so RakuPom then took out a much bigger net to trap her in. Yamashita eventually got freed and she wasted no time in pinning Harajuku with the Attitude Adjustment.

Hyper Misao wanted to liven up Suzuki’s homecoming show, believing they have a close connection because they both wear the colour green. Her plan was to have Mifu Ashida lead the way with her cheerleading skills but it was all a trap for Misao to attack her before the match began.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “BACK TO THE HIVE ~SUZUME HOMECOMING SHOW~” Results

May 6, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “BACK TO THE HIVE ~SUZUME HOMECOMING SHOW~”, 06/05/2026
Ibaraki Tsukuba International Congress Center Multipurpose Hall
310 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Yuki Aino defeated Shion Kanzaki with the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire (7:21).
2. 3 Way Match: Hyper Misao defeated Raku and HIMAWARI when Misao pinned HIMAWARI with La Magistral Cradle (7:57).
3. Miyu Yamashita & Sakura Hattori defeated Wakana Uehara & Kira Summer when Hattori pinned Summer with the Rakkateicho (9:36).
4. Shoko Nakajima defeated Pom Harajuku with the Uchunito no Bizan (9:57).
5. Mizuki & Uta Takami defeated Haru Kazashiro & Chika Nanase when Takami submitted Nanase with the Koala Clutch (8:24).
6. Yuki Kamifuku & Toga defeated Yuki Arai & Shino Suzuki when Kamifuku pinned Suzuki with the Famouser (9:50).
7. Suzume, Arisu Endo & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Ren Konatsu when Suzume pinned Konatsu with the Ring A Bell (15:58).

Tsukuba has always been a place that is special to Suzume because she is from the Ibaraki prefecture. She would have explained to everyone how it became even more special after she came back here as the International Princess Champion but her homecoming speech after the main event was interrupted. Mahiro Kiryu suddenly approached her from behind and rolled her up with a School Boy expecting to hear a pin count. It turns out she wants to win the IP Title but forgot it is not contested under 24/7 rules like the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Kiryu quickly apologised and then asked Suzume for a title shot. Suzume agreed to it when she figured out Kiryu was serious about wanting the match. They will have a serious match for the title at Korakuen Hall on 7th June.

In their first prelim match for the Princess Of Princess Title bout next month, Yuki Kamifuku didn’t think much of it at first but got more invested as the match went on. She noticed that Yuki Arai looks more imposing now as champion than she ever did before. Toga said Kamifuku is more lively when she’s being herself than she is when she tries to get fired up for a title match. Arai heard about Kamifuku’s opinion that fighting for the championship is going to be her anti-aging technique. Arai looked into it because she will be turning 28 tomorrow and wants to age gracefully. She might go get a Cosme Decorte beauty cream but since it’s her birthday tomorrow, Shino Suzuki promised to get her some as a gift instead. But it’s going to be the cheapest item from the product line.

Pom Harajuku left her match with Shoko Nakajima midway through to go get her secret weapon. She returned wearing a costume of an alien abducting a human! She wrestled in it for a while before deciding to take it off and forcing it onto Nakajima so she would wear it instead. The plan backfired when Nakajima used the loose legs of the costume to hit Harajuku with a 619. Nakajima then pinned her with an alien assisted German Suplex to win.

According to Hyper Misao, the Gotham City of Northern Kanto is located right here in Ibaraki! She tried to recruit either Raku or HIMAWARI to help her bring glory to her hometown but they both decided to fight her 2-on-1 instead. That alliance was short lived and Misao tricked her way into winning the 3 Way Match.

Something Shion Kanzaki has been doing in her matches lately is climb onto her opponent on the corner and then shout out to the crowd for cheers like a singer at a concert. When she did the spot to Yuki Aino here, Aino scolded her for starting the call by herself.

*The IInspiration fails in V2. Daydream becomes the 21st Princess Tag Team Champions!
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) defeated Arisu Endo with the Finally (20:38).
*V2 for Yuki Arai.

It is the 5th Anniversary of Yuki Arai’s pro wrestling debut and she celebrates it by standing on top of the Tokyo Joshi Pro mountain. Her second Princess Of Princess Title defence was completed today with a victory over Arisu Endo, who was one of her first opponents in her debut match five years ago. Endo just couldn’t pull off the Ju no Okite to put Arai away with the move being either blocked or escaped from. After the latter happened, Arai got Endo with the Finally to the back of the head. She then hit the Rookie Award followed by another Finally to put Endo away. After the match Arai said Endo always calls her the main character of TJPW behind the scenes. Arai doesn’t like to say that but in her world, Endo is the main character too along with everyone else in TJPW. Backstage Endo said the match shows how much both of them have grown over five years because they got to fight for the Princess Title in the main event of Korakuen Hall today.

Back in the ring Arai talked about having her debut match five years ago. It was at an empty Korakuen Hall because of the covid pandemic but today she feels like she is in the best condition possible by defending the Princess Title in front of a big crowd. Yuki Kamifuku then entered the ring and told Arai she looks tired. When Kamifuku lost the Princess Tag Team Titles she wondered why she works so hard as a wrestler. She figured out it’s because it makes her feel beautiful! She isn’t really that invested in championships and hates fighting in singles matches but working so hard towards a goal feels like the perfect anti-aging technique for her. So for the first time ever Kamifuku wants to challenge for the Princess Title! Arai accepted and asked for the match to happen in Korakuen on 7th June. Kamifuku then asked to take a picture together with her while they’re both looking their youngest. Kamifuku admitted backstage she considered doing the title challenge two days ago when she looked in the mirror and noticed her skin was beginning to sag a bit. She also believes that Arai is already starting to rest on her laurels too much.

Daydream are now two-time Princess Tag Champions after they defeated The IInspiration, bringing the belts back home to TJPW. In the leadup to the match they made dolls of The IInspiration, claiming they were just doing it to be cute despite the dolls looking anything but. Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee were given the dolls as gifts before the match began but they threw them away and attacked the challengers. Late in the match Miu Watanabe saved Rika Tatsumi from taking the IIdolizer then she dropped Tatsumi onto both of them with a Human Bomb double team move. Lee and Watanabe then fought in the corner where Tatsumi used them as a stepping stone to hit McKay with the Flying Hip Attack. With McKay out of the way, Lee was given the Daydream Eternity and was pinned by Watanabe for the title change. The IInspiration later blamed the loss on TJPW being a dangerous workplace. They complained about having to wrestle after taking an 18 hour flight, getting paper streamers thrown at their heads, being hit in the face by Tatsumi’s butt, being swung around in circles by Watanabe and on top of it all feeling dehydrated the entire time. They wouldn’t mind coming back to TJPW but only if they have plenty of drinking water ready, everyone stops throwing paper streamers at them and they get to challenge for the tag titles again.

Watanabe said it feels like five million years since the last time they were Princess Tag Champions and Tatsumi wondered if everyone even remembers when they held the old white belts? Daydream felt the worldwide experience of The IInspiration while fighting them and they hope they will come back to Japan. Tatsumi now wants Daydream to go after the most defences record. Their first challengers then made themselves known when Mizuki & Uta Takami walked out. The two of them have continued teaming together since reaching the final of this year’s Max Heart Tournament. Takami has grown to love wrestling even more because of it so she wants to get a title shot with Mizuki. Tatsumi scolded Takami because she never gave her permission to team with Mizuki but she is willing to defend the titles against the two of them if it means the team will end after Daydream wins. However Mizuki said she is living in the present and wants to team with Takami to win the belts, even if it means stealing Tatsumi’s heart in the process. The title match will happen on 7th June.

Now is not the time yet for Haru Kazashiro to win championships. Suzume took Kazashiro’s best shot and was still standing. She kicked out of the Fisherman Suplex and escaped from the Straight Armbar to keep Kazashiro flustered. Kazashiro tried going for the Fisherman Suplex again but Suzume countered it into a Noshigami and followed up with a top rope Facecrusher. She then hit the Ring A Bell to remain as the International Princess Champion. She said she is happy to see Kazashiro reach the point to where they can fight each other in title matches now. Suzume is also very excited she will be going to her homecoming show in two days time as the IP Champion. Kazashiro called the match fun even though she feels like she could have done better. She gets frustrated when she isn’t able to show everyone what she learns in training and doesn’t get to fully enjoy her matches because of it. But today’s match confirmed to her who she is and it was the most fun she’s ever had because of it. She believes this confidence she gained will only make her stronger.

Something was on Hyper Misao’s mind when Kyoraku Kyomei faced K!SS// in a rematch from the Max Heart Tournament. Misao wanted to start the match off with Sakura Hattori straight away because she really wanted to fight the newcomer. However it seemed like she couldn’t tell that Hattori is the former Kaya Toribami who pinned her back in that tournament. Hattori’s ninja techniques were quickly foiled by Misao’s Hero Spray and Miyu Yamashita got blinded with it too. The match was decided under more skillful means when Hattori went back and forth with Shoko Nakajima. After a lot of dodged moves, Nakajima got the better of Hattori by countering the Kitcho Kagome cradle into a counter pin that held the ninja’s shoulders down for the three count. It wasn’t until Kyoraku Kyomei went back to the locker room that they realised Hattori used to be Toribami! Now they’re wondering how a bird suddenly turned into a ninja while they weren’t paying attention. Meanwhile Yamashita noted this was the first time K!SS// were teaming up since Hattori’s transformation. They’re going to continue teaming together and aim for a championship but Yamashita thinks they may need to rename the tag team to something more fitting for Hattori’s ninja aesthetic.

Toga collided with Ryo Mizunami from the get go with clashing Shoulder Blocks, Chops and Elbow Strikes. Mizunami blocked the Absolute Zero but still gave Toga encouragement to fight her harder. Toga was staggered after taking a Headbutt and some Lariats though. Once she was taken down with the Spear it was all over for her. Mizunami remembers her previous singles match with Toga around two and a half years ago. She’s happy to see Toga didn’t waste her time since them but still thinks Toga needs to forge her own path to get stronger. While Toga believes she has gotten stronger, she also thinks she has not closed the gap between her and Mizunami. She promised not to give up until she can definitely beat Mizunami!

The illusion that’s been crafted for Kakeru Sekiguchi & Mahiro Kiryu is at risk of falling apart. Kamifuku outright told them before their match that the two do not look alike! However after doing the opening exchange with Sekiguchi, Kamifuku lost track of who was who and couldn’t tell them apart any more. An attempt at twin magic was also played on Aja Kong but she solved the puzzle by slapping the both of them one after the other. She gave Sekiguchi the Back Drop but Kamifuku again confused her opponent for Kiryu and tried to pin her when she wasn’t the legal woman. The real Kiryu tried to capitalize but Kamifuku fought back and correctly pinned her with the Famouser. She can’t explain how she confused Sekiguchi for Kiryu other than they started looking more alike to her as the match progressed. Kamifuku will next meet Kong on opposing teams for Kong’s 40th Anniversary show. Kong said the “fake Mahiro” will be there too. She would have also booked the real one if she had the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title but without it, Kong has zero interest in Mahiro Kiryu because she’s useless.

Golden Week is a very busy time in Japan which was proven when Pom Harajuku led a train attack in her match and called it “Golden Week Traffic Jam”. She also used her loud screaming stop Mei Suruga from doing a rope walk move on Yuki Aino. Suruga then didn’t know what to do when Raku laid down in the ring and started to sulk instead of nap. She got better when Suruga lied down next to her and patted her on the head in apology. The three gremlin sisters then went crazy on Love Triangle until Harajuku took off her shoes and tried to fight off Mizuki with them. Mizuki took the shoes off her and then accidentally threw them into the audience while fighting with Aino. Harajuku got a replacement pair from Raku but Mizuki ended up throwing those away too. She then beat Takami with the Diving Foot Stomp after getting some help with Takami. Suruga told Mizuki afterwards that today was the first time they’ve teamed up in eight years! The two of them told Takami she needs to become as bold as they are.

YuuRI was back in TJPW and started off her match facing against Chika Nanase. When it was Shino Suzuki’s turn to get involved, she took Wakana Uehara sightseeing around the ring. Kira Summer breaking up Nanase’s pin on Uehara caused all six wrestlers to get in and start fighting. Suzuki got rid of Summer with the Belly-To-Belly Suplex. She & HIMAWARI then got YuuRI with a Spear/Neckbreaker combo. Nanase tried to finish off Uehara by herself but Uehara turned things around and won with the Sushi Tornado.

In the opening match the two rookies Ren Konatsu and Shion Kanzaki faced each other once again. Konatsu came out on top this time by using a new submission move to win. She put Kanzaki in the Rings Of Saturn to win and it was later named the Shoulder Bites (maybe because the move was also once called the Batista Bite?).

When the show began Rise Shirai introduced everyone to Momo Sato, confirming that the idol has officially become a trainee for TJPW like she said she would back in March. Sato is the younger sister of DDT wrestler Daichi Sato and has spent time in the wrestling ring before doing stuff for HEAT-UP. Since then she became an idol with Harajuku Gakuen and was scouted by Sanshiro Takagi to give TJPW a go. Sato greeted the fans and told them she will do her best to make her debut. On a sidenote, this news comes shortly after a now former trainee was seen working ringside duties at a Marigold show over the weekend. Anri was the trainee who was meant to debut alongside Shion Kanzaki back in January but it was called off when she wasn’t considered to be in the right condition to debut yet. I hadn’t heard anything about her ever since that announcement came out. Then very recently there was a Rossy Ogawa interview where he revealed Marigold will soon have a new rookie who was originally supposed to debut somewhere else. A few Japanese fans on Twitter were quick to recognise Anri at ringside at Marigold and now things are starting to clear up a little bit. I don’t see any harm or foul over it. Every wrestling company has trainees who come, go and then debut somewhere else for whatever reason. TJPW is no exception and have been accused of committing similar actions in the past. Also while we’re here is the other trainee Yuuka still around? I never notice what trainees are working ringside duties until social media points it out.

The 7th June show will have MIRAI returning to wrestle and also Sumire Uesaka appearing as a guest commentator. As far as I know Uesaka is still the Iron Man Champion after winning it back at “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”.

TJPW is collaborating with the Tokyo Idol Festival to hold matches during the TIF ASIA Tour being held in Odaiba this summer. The matches will be held on 31sy July, 1st August and 3rd August.

6. Costume Change Match: Yuki Arai, Mizuki, Yuki Kamifuku & Raku defeated Suzume, Pom Harajuku, HIMAWARI & Uta Takami when Arai submitted Takami with the Scorpion Death Lock (17:30).

For the tenth time in the company’s history, Tokyo Joshi Pro held a fan club only show opened to members of Wrestle Universe. Matches on these kind of shows go in weird directions and often have uncommon stipulations added to them. The big match to happen on these shows is the Costume Change match where every wrestler involved shows up in another wrestler’s costume. This mix and match included the nicknames being altered for the ocassion. We got Yuki Arai dressed as HIMAWARI (“Genius Cheeky Chap”), Mizuki dressed as Suzume (“Vivid Sugar Custard”), Yuki Kamifuku dressed as Raku (“Up Up Girls (Tall)”), Raku dressed as Yuki Aino (“Sleeping Venus”), Suzume dressed as Mahiro Kiryu (“Passion Blue Mustard”), Pom Harajuku dressed as Toga (“Colorful Snow Crystal”), HIMAWARI dressed as Mifu Ashida (“Rampaging Flower Girl”) and Uta Takami dressed as Mizuki (“Popping Ice Rabbit”). Everyone tried to copy the wrestler they were dressed as but the match ended with Arai using her own moveset to beat Takami. After the match Arai said she has memorized the faces of every Wrestle Universe subscriber in attendance and she wants them to stay members for life.

The Indian Poker match began with every contestant being handed a random card. They were allowed a brief moment to trade the cards with each other without looking and then show everyone the cards without looking at their own. The rule was if a wrestler performed the action that was written on their card, they would be Disqualified. Shoko Nakajima was quickly eliminated when she did the Dragon Ring In, which her card banned her from doing. With every elimination, the remaining wrestlers were given more cards with banned actions on them. Yuki Aino was next to go when she did a Double Shoulder Tackle on the other opponents, which she wasn’t allowed to do. With Miyu Yamashita and Hyper Misao as the last two left, they agonized over trying to figure out which of their moves were banned. Yamashita nailed Misao with the Skull Kick but that turned out to be illegal so Misao won despite getting almost knocked out.

One Count pinfalls were used for the Academic & Athletic Match. When a pin happened, the wrestler was then asked an educational question. The first team to get two questions correct would win the match. Unfortunately the four participants are not the most school smart of wrestlers on the TJPW roster so a lot of questions were answered incorrectly. Miu Watanabe was finally able to get one right by calling Hokkaido the largest prefecture in Japan while Haru Kazashiro evened the score by identifying that red blood cells are what carries oxygen throughout the body. Arisu Endo got several chances at answering questions but kept getting them wrong. Chika Nanase got the winning point when she said photosyntesis is the name of the process by which plants use light to produce nutrients.

A bunch of TJPW wrestlers turned into “Superstars” for one day by impersonating different WWE gimmicks during a Rumble match. Kira Summer entered first as Rhea Ripley and started the match off against Shino Suzuki as John Cena. The next entrant was Mahiro Kiryu fully committed to dressing up like The Rock, padded muscle suit and all. The lights in the room then went out as Mifu Ashida made her entrance as The Undertaker (with Fumirin joining her impersonating Paul Bearer). The last entrant was Wakana Uehara going full on Shinsuke Nakamura. Eliminations then happened one after the other and the match ended with Kiryu putting Suzuki in a Sleeper Hold. Suzuki gave a big smile just like Cena did before tapping out.

Toga had to fight off two admirers in a 3 Way Match. Rika Tatsumi and Ren Konatsu wanted to fight over who liked Toga more with Tatsumi claiming she is Toga’s godmother while Konatsu tried to bribe her with bread. Then when they fought each other they kept each asking Toga to come rescue them. Tatsumi soon got fed up and asked Toga who would she choose. When Toga didn’t answer, she was pushed into Fumirin who all of a sudden started to fall for her too. Toga ran out of the ring and was chased by Tatsumi and Konatsu while Fumirin started the 20 count. Tatsumi and Konatsu spent too much time arguing with each other outside, allowing Toga to get into the ring before 20 and win the match by Double Countout. Toga then patted Fumirin on the head after the match.

The opening bout between Sakura Hattori and Shion Kanzaki was a normal match with nothing unusual happening at all. Hattori continues to use her Shoulder Lock submission to rack up wins.

The silliness of the show started at the very beginning when Fumirin gave some pre-show announcements while talking in a Kansai dialect. A surprise musical performance then happened with Rise Shirai singing the Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger theme song for everybody.

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

April 24, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ IN SHINJUKU”, 24/04/2026
Shinjuku FACE
312 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Sakura Hattori defeated Kira Summer with the Shinden Fudo Ryu Majime Ura (8:25).
2. Mahiro Kiryu, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki defeated Raku, Pom Harajuku & Mifu Ashida when Kiryu pinned Ashida with the Spinebuster (12:21).
3. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Chika Nanase when Kamifuku pinned Nanase with the Famouser (7:30).
4. Mizuki & Uta Takami defeated Ren Konatsu & Shion Kanzaki when Mizuki submitted Kanzaki with the Southern Cross (10:43).
5. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Wakana Uehara & Toga when Watanabe pinned Toga after the Daydream Eternity (14:17).
6. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Yuki Arai & Haru Kazashiro when Suzume pinned Kazashiro with the Ring A Bell (15:26).

The main event was a preview of what is coming up in 10 days time. The champions and challengers for the Princess Of Princess Title match and International Princess Title match. It was also a chance for Daisy Monkey to catch up with each other as a tag team again. While Arisu Endo kept Yuki Arai on her toes, Suzume matches Haru Kazashiro’s athleticism and then some, intercepting one of her Springboard moves into a Facecrusher and later pinning her with the Ring A Bell. After the match Suzume told Endo she wants them both to hold championships again even if this time they are different colours. Endo later said she can see a future where she is the adventurer defeating the final boss to get the treasure. Arai feels strange being called that but if she’s now the main character of Tokyo Joshi Pro then she wants to write a masterpiece as its champion! Kazashiro said she has gained some fighting spirit for her own title match despite losing today.

There is something else Daydream is looking for along with the Princess Tag Team Titles. Both Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe have been a team for a long time now but they never had their own tag team entrance song. So Daydream wants to win the Princess Tag Titles from The IInspiration and then sing their own brand new song.

The Southern Cross that Mizuki used to win her match was more like the Crossface/Labell Lock than the usual Face Lock she puts opponents in.

Some of those who went to Texas brought back some souvenirs to show off to everyone who stayed home. Raku & Pom Harajuku both went into their match wearing the Buc-ee outfits they got in Texas. Mifu Ashida was also dressed head to toe in Buc-ee’s merchandise.

Look at the participants in Match #2 and tell me it won’t be anarchy.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE IN LAS VEGAS 2026” Results

April 16, 2026

*V1 for Yuki Arai.

You ever had a holiday thay you enjoyed so much that you went back the next year only to suffer from diminishing returns? That feels like the story of Tokyo Joshi Pro coming back to Las Vegas during WrestleMania Week for the second year in a row. A combination of much higher ticket prices, a WrestleMania that is attracting far less travelling fans than usual for numerous reasons, an earlier slot in the week (Thursday morning instead of Friday morning) and how late it took for the show to be announced resulted in only 424 fans coming out to the Pearl Theater compared to last year’s number of 812 fans. And even then I’m sceptical that 424 is the genuine number. Being there in the building there ended up being two groups of fans, those in the front rows and those sitting up in the back. In between that was a no man’s land swathe of almost entirely empty seats. When it was time for the semi-main event, security allowed everyone at the back to move down to closer roads just so the crowd could be seen on camera for the broadcast. They did the same thing for the CMLL show that took place afterwards but made that decision at the start of the show.

In the main event Yuki Arai successfully retained the Princess Of Princess Title in her first defence. Her American challenger J-Rod got close to winning when she hit the Ultimate Spear but Arai grabbed the ropes to break the pin at the last second. J-Rod lost her focus and argued with the referee before running into Arai’s Big Boot and getting sent shoulder first in between the turnbuckles. Arai then found the power to give J-Rod the Full Nelson Buster before pinning her with the Finally. After the match Arai told J-Rod how happy she for getting to meet her and she loves her. J-Rod shook Arai’s hand and said she loves her too, just don’t forget she still wants to win the title. Arai suggested they form a Blue and White tag team together the next time they see each other. She also told fans TJPW will come back to America again.

The IInspiration are still the Princess Tag Team Champions after they fought through Kyoraku Kyomei’s shenanigans. Hyper Misao kept her pre-match speech short so she & Shoko Nakajima could quickly go on the attack. Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee were rolled up into the ring apron together but made their escape and took everything the challengers threw at them. They were able to take Misao out of the running and then pin Nakajima with the Idolizer. Misao admitted that Kyoraku Kyomei were thrown off their game despite being TJPW’s trickiest tag team. They feel embarrased because they gave The IInspiration so much trash talk leading up to the match. Later backstage The IInspiration called themselves fighting champions who will next defend the belts at the 4th May Korakuen Hall show. Miu Watanabe approached them and introduced herself. She told The IInspiration that Rika Tatsumi would like to meet them so they should look forward to defending the titles against Daydream at Korakuen.

It was a clean sweep of title defences across the board, starting with Suzume beating Sakura Hattori to remain the International Princess Champion. Hattori almost overwhelmed Suzume with her ninja techniques but showed a glimmer of her own self when she decided to attempt Kaya Toribami’s finishing move, the Sento Choryu. It turned out to be her fatal mistake in the match because first she slipped off the rope and then when she pulled off the move, Suzume dodged it. Hattori switched back to her ninja moves but by that point the momentum was shifting and Suzume pinned her with the Ring A Bell. Suzume said the experience of defending the IP Title in Vegas two years in a row reaffirms her desire to take the championship around the world. Hattori said she will always have her sights set on the IP Title, no matter who is the champion.

In the battle between TJPW’s three most dominant monsters princesses ever, Miyu Yamashita stood tall as the most powerful monster princess! She ran around kicking Mizuki and Watanabe all over the ring as well as the stage while Mizuki did her big Diving Foot Stomp jumps off the ramp. Both of them tried to grab onto anything for dear life whenever Watanabe tried to put them in the Giant Swing. Mizuki flubbed the Whirling Candy but was able to get Watanabe with it on the second attempt. Watanabe also got hit with the Skull Kick. Mizuki tried to capitalise by giving Yamashita the Cutie Special and then land the Diving Foot Stomp onto Watanabe. But Yamashita broke the pin and nailed Mizuki with the Crash Rabbit Heat to win.

The Love Triangle brought out a giant dice to use in their trios match. Pom Harajuku gave it a roll and got the number three, so he attacked HIMAWARI three times. HIMAWARI then rolled it and got a six, then found out it meant Harajuku could attack her six times. Alexis Lee found a way to stop Raku from doing Poppo Chops by simply biting her arm. Shino Suzuki rolled the dice only to score a one but HIMAWARI grabbed Harajuku so Suzuki could hit her as much as she wanted. Suzuki didn’t have the same luck against Yuki Aino though. Aino got the better of her and won the match with the Venus DDT.

Wakana Uehara achieved two big wins today. The first was from Ober Eats beating Toga & Uta Takami in the opening bout. The other happened later that night when Uehara demolished an Octuple Bypass burger at the Heart Attack Grill in Fermont Street! I think Yuki Kamifuku was just happy to have scored the winning pinfall in the match and probably went somewhere else for dinner.

Guide To TJPW In Las Vegas… Again

April 15, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE IN LAS VEGAS 2026”, 16/04/2026
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara Vs Toga & Uta Takami
2. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Alexis Lee, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki
3. Special 3 Way Match: Miyu Yamashita Vs Mizuki Vs Miu Watanabe
4. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Sakura Hattori
5. Princess Tag Team Titles: Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
6. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs J-Rod

Thanks to some business dealings by TKO that has sort of come back to bite WWE in the backside, Tokyo Joshi Pro are running a WrestleMania Week show in Las Vegas for the second year in a row. Is there an alternate timeline where this would be happening in New Orleans instead? Probably, but money talks and Vegas is full with it. What’s noteworthy regarding this year is that TJPW is no longer working with GCW and The Collective in putting this show together. Instead they are part of a block of events called Slam Fest that also has Stardom, CMLL, House Of Glory and Maple Leaf Pro involved. Also DDT has not joined the journey over to America with TJPW. As you are reading this, they are still running shows back in Japan but it’s pretty obvious by now that CyberFight sees TJPW as the brand with the biggest potential to become successful in overseas markets like North America. For their return to Vegas they have put together a relevant card that follows up from their recent tours of Texas and Vancouver. If you need need to freshen up on the product you really only need to pay attention to those shows as well as last month’s Sumo Hall show to get all caught up on what’s happening here. So if you’re new to the world of TJPW, an existing fan wanting to read up on everything or even a commentator looking for context beyond a Wikipedia page (*cough, cough*), this guide is intended for you!

Where and when are the shows taking place?

The show will be held at the Pearl Theater found inside Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas on Thursday, 16th April at 11am local time.

Where can I watch it online?

It will air live on Triller TV with English commentary for $19.99 by itself. There are also bundled deals that include the show available for either $44.99 (the Thursday package of TJPW, CMLL & House Of Glory) or $59.99 (the entire two day Slam Fest package). The on-demand version of the show will be available to watch on Wrestle Universe a couple of weeks after the live broadcast.

Is this a proper TJPW show?

Yes for the most part. On paper it is not the same full blown experience that TJPW provided Las Vegas last year. However they are still providing all three championship matches that have all have build up behind them. It’s an unusual situation this year because TJPW are promoting shows outside of Japan more than ever and a lot of the title builds took place on those international shows that took place in North America. So you could take the odd path of only watching the Texas tour, the big “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” show at Sumo Hall and the recent Vancouver tour to get all caught up on the major matches for this card.


1. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara Vs Toga & Uta Takami

The show opens up with one of the mainstay tag teams Ober Eats facing two wrestlers from TJPW’s so-called “Next Generation”. Ober Eats are coming off of a lengthy stay at the top of the tag team division, having become the only reigning champions to win the annual Max Heart Tournament. After recently being knocked off their perch, Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara agreed to start moving in separate directions but they are still going to team from time to time on shows like this one. Uta Takami is on the upswing after reaching the final of the Max Heart Tournament. She’s only teamed with Toga a handful of times though so this mismatch pairing has some work to do to beat the former tag champs.

Yuki Kamifuku – Also known by her nickname Kamiyu, she is “The Casual Beauty” of TJPW. Grew up in Ohio during her junior high school years so she is the most fluent English speaker out of the Japanese roster. She knows how to get under her opponent’s skin with harsh and catty opinions but there is another side to her where she is loyal and sympathetic to her friends. She is also proud of her modelling background because her accomplishments in the ring is proof that you don’t need to be a die hard pro wrestling fan to succeed in the business.
Moves To Watch Out For: Famouser (Jumping Leg Drop to a bent over opponent), Big Boot, Yahoo 83cm (Headscissors DDT), Manjigatame, Thumb To The Eye

Wakana Uehara – The big eater entered wrestling through a reality series TJPW held for idols and was the only participant to take the path towards turning pro. Ever since she formed Ober Eats with Kamifuku, she learned to come out out of her shell and has taken on some of Kamifuku’s more confident personality traits to make them into her own. One can only imagine the victory meal she’ll have in Vegas to celebrate!
Moves To Watch Out For: Banana Pillow (Triangle Lancer), Sushi Tornado (Sister Abigail variation), Space Rolling Elbow, High Speed Brainbuster

Toga – I can’t say for sure if ice runs through her veins but if you’re looking for somebody cool, calm and collective in the ring then Toga is your girl. In a place filled with colorful personalities, Toga’s way of standing out is to smash opponents in the face with an almighty Elbow Strike. The last year has seen her start to stretch out a little bit, moving on from tag team wrestling to search for success on her own. She has also taken the initiative to take part in a match somewhere else during Mania Week, as you will see at the bottom of this guide.
Moves To Watch Out For: Absolute Zero (Rock Bottom), Elbow Butt, Rolling Thunder, Fall Away Slam

Uta Takami – Here is the first member of The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) to appear on the show. The Up Up Girls are a pop idol group that collaborated with TJPW to create a pro wrestling spin-off stable. TJPW’s version of the act always perform a song or two at the beginning of the shows before competing in matches later on. Takami is the troublemaker of the bunch, bringing along a bratty little sister energy into her matches with a frantic wrestling style. She is currently among the youngest wrestlers on the roster but this year her potential upside has shot through the roof with a strong tag team tournament record. If you like Mei Suruga then Uta Takami will fit into your wrestling tastes as snug as a bug.
Moves To Watch Out For: Koala Clutch (Body Lock Cobra Clutch), Pendulum Dropkick, Missile Dropkick


2. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Alexis Lee, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki

It’s the Love Triangle taking on Bumping gRitters plus a friend from Singapore. One of the strongest bonds in TJPW is the one that connects Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku together. They are all so close to each other that Love Triangle is the most fittest name to give them. HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki make up the Bumping gRitters, a name they came up with because they want to fight gritty and shine like glitter at the same time. Alexis Lee from Singapore Pro Wrestling is the third woman on their team and has a packed schedule in Vegas ahead of her this week.

Yuki Aino – At one time Yuki Aino was simply a ring announcer for TJPW who became a pro wrestler in order to team up with her sister (the now retired Nodoka Tenma). Tag team wrestling has been her forte and Aino usually finds her way back there whenever her attempts to go solo don’t go to plan. Her love of Tokusatsu TV shows have been a key part of her finding relevance in the company this year but on this show she is back teaming with some old flames. She can be as stubborn as they come and on her best days will hit you like a firetruck fueled by love.
Moves To Watch Out For: Venus DDT (Inverted DDT), UBV/Unlimited Burning Venus (Double Arm Side Buster), Full Nelson Of Love And Fire (Full Nelson Camel Clutch), Side Suplex

Raku – The second member of The Up Up Girls, Raku’s entire personality can be summed down to naps and trains. She knows so much railway trivia that on every TJPW show she will tell the audience what the Train Of The Day is. Raku’s moveset is built around sending her opponents to sleep so she can run over them with the Oyasumi Express. She is also sometimes armed with a pillow. Mix that all together and you get a total package that has made her absolutely adored by fans and the roster alike.
Moves To Watch Out For: Doctor Yellow (Jumping Neckbreaker), Hurricane Turn (Cross-Arm Backslide Pin), Oyasumi/Good Night Express (running on top of the opponent over and over), Good Night Sleeper, Poppo Chop! (Brain Chop)

Pom Harajuku – Bright and colorful costumes, loud screaming and a lot of shin kicking. Pom Harajuku’s fighting style can be compared to a three year old throwing a temper tantrum. What she lacks in traditional pro wrestling strength, she makes up for with creativity and outside the box thinking. If she thinks disguising herself as a turnbuckle, hiding her opponent’s house keys inside a gacha capsule machine or constructing her own Tesla will help her win the match then she will find a way to turn those ideas into a reality.
Moves To Watch Out For: Pom de Justice (Step-Up Guillotine Leg Drop), Laforet Harajuku (Satellite Headscissors), Shin Kick, Denden Taiko (beating the opponent’s chest like a drum)

Alexis Lee – The skeleton from Singapore is regularly seen as an opponent for TJPW wrestlers when they go to wrestle around Southeast Asia. She gets appear in TJPW once or twice a year and returns again as part of what I think is her debut tour in America. Just be careful around her when drinks are around. “Skelly” can drink anybody under the table.
Moves To Watch Out For: No Lee Way (Running Double Knee Attack), Sister Abigail, Biting

HIMAWARI – Bright and cheerful like a sunflower but it’s the kind of sunflower that can use Vine Whip. She claims to have never gotten her long hair cut since she was born and she likes to use her braids as whips against her opponents. She has a background in musicals and stage acting which explains how she is up there as one of the most expressive of wrestlers in TJPW. She often gets to take part in overseas bookings but her win-loss record when it comes to these ventures needs some improvement.
Moves To Watch Out For: Sunflower Tempest (Floatover Jackhammer), Princess Drop (Princess Carry into Pumphandle Drop style slam), Half Crab Hold, Hair Whip

Shino Suzuki – Now we’re up to member No. 3 of The Up Up Girls. Shino Suzuki is one of the newer members of the groups. She is nicknamed “She Know” because she worked as a tour guide before becoming an idol and pro wrestler. While currently low on the totem pole in TJPW, she will display gutsy performances along with her wealth of tourism knowledge. The downside to this is the competitive atmosphere often turns her into a ball of anxiety and half of her battles is trying to get past that while the match goes on.
Moves To Watch Out For: Belly-To-Belly Suplex, Sleeper Hold, Backward Rolling Cradle, Swinging Neckbreaker


3. Special 3 Way Match: Miyu Yamashita Vs Mizuki Vs Miu Watanabe

Simply put, the three strongest and most decorated wrestlers in TJPW are thrown into the ring all against each other. I could go on all day listing the combined accomplishments of Miyu Yamashita, Mizuki and Miu Watanabe along with arguments for each over who should be seen as the ace of company. It would be fair to guess that whoever wins this match would qualify for No. 1 Contendership, if only there wasn’t the Tokyo Princess Cup coming up. This is odds on favorite to be the match of the show and maybe even a highlight of the entire week.

Miyu Yamashita – “The Pink Striker” has been part of TJPW since Day 1 of the company proper and has almost done it all when it comes to championship reigns, tournament wins and headlining important venues. She is currently the “Leader” of TJPW so her focus nowadays is to fly the flag for the company across the world. The Skull Kick she uses is one of the most deadliest looking finishers around and she enjoys finding opponents who can dish it out to her just as hard as she can dish it out to them.
Moves To Watch Out For: Skull Kick (Backspin High Kick to the head), Crash Rabbit Heat (Running Knee Kick), Attitude Adjustment, Return Crash (Triangle Kick off the turnbuckles)

Mizuki – Although she didn’t start her wrestling career in TJPW, Mizuki has established herself as one of the company’s all time best with multiple championship reigns and important main events to her name. One of the most photogenic wrestlers going today, she constantly goes viral on social media for using moves that leave those who see them locked in a state of awe and inspiration. She doesn’t understand what U3+4 means but she is the closest pro wrestling will ever get to creating a real life Lili from Tekken. Don’t trust that mischievous smile of hers, she is vicious when she wants to be. “The Popping Sugar Rabbit” may sound like a silly nickname but we’ll see who’s laughing when Mizuki is Double Stomping the guts out of her opponents.
Moves To Watch Out For: Cutie Special (Bridging Fall Away Slam), Whirling Candy (Spinning Cross Body Block), Diving Foot Stomp, Face Lock

Miu Watanabe – Last but definitely not least, Miu Watanabe is the final member of The Up Up Girls you will see in action. There are two things she loves most in life: Idols and Pro Wrestling! Always full of energy, Watanabe uses big hand gestures to spell out L-O-V-E along with her theme song during her entrances. She also knows various ways to throw people around with the Giant Swing and cave in chests with Double Sledge style strikes. Watanabe is coming off of a main event run that was so dominant that other wrestlers accused her of fighting more like a monster than a princess!
Moves To Watch Out For: Tear Drop (Modified Flapjack), Reverse Paradox (Gorilla Clutch), Laserbeam (Overhand Chop to the chest), Giant Swing, Canadian Backbreaker, Swinging Backbreaker


4. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Sakura Hattori

The first of three championship matches on the card. Suzume recently won the International Princess Title for the second time and wants to live up to the championship’s intended identity of being defended overseas. She received her first challenge via ninja scroll, which is a new one in my books. Sakura Hattori recently transformed from a masked bird to dangerous ninja and has been reaping the benefits under her new persona. She doesn’t need to hide in the shadows when they get to Vegas, her confidence is at an all time high.

Suzume – As swift as a wasp and just as sharp. She begun her career as a fast learner, only spending seven months in training before making her pro debut. Just based on her aesthetic alone it is of no surprise that speed is the name of her game. It’s served Suzume well because she became the International Princess Champion for the second time this year. It is a belt that has become her greatest treasure but she holds it at a time when a new generation of challengers are growing stronger all around her.
Moves To Watch Out For: Ring A Bell (RKO), Spring Ring A Bell (Oscutter), Mikazuki Meteor Shower (Diving Cross Body), Twinkle (Twisting School Boy), Flying Facecrusher

Sakura Hattori – There was once a masked wrestler named Kaya Toribami. She was a bird and was well liked by everyone but when it came to finding success in the ring it was lacking for her. Turns out having a cassowary gimmick wasn’t the golden ticket to getting a push. So Toribami travelled to Iga City to train under a ninja master but while she was there she discovered a haunted faceguard that sent her into a trance. When she returned she announced she would be moving on from Kaya Toribami to become a ninja called Sakura Hattori. The personality change has worked out for her so far, being unbeaten in singles matches and only suffering one pinfall loss thanks to Suzume. Her moveset has become more aggressive with the change but also more performative. She really needs to learn how to do the Nine Seal hand signals quicker before hitting her moves because they noticeably slow her down.
Moves To Watch Out For: Shinden Fudo Ryu Majime Ura (Kata-Gatame style Shoulder Lock), Rakkateicho (Flying Forearm Strike from the top rope set up with the Nine Hand Seals), Backflip Kick


5. Princess Tag Team Titles: Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao

TJPW’s tag division has been thrown out of whack thanks to The IInspiration. The Australian tag team struck gold by becoming the only pair in history to win tag team championships in WWE, TNA and TJPW. After knocking down Ober Eats for the belts, it has cleared the table for challengers previously beaten by Ober Eats to start making challenges again. First up is Kyoraku Kyomei, one of the longest serving TJPW teams still going with previous success together under their belts. The IInspiration have seen a lot in their careers but have they ever fought a team consisting of a superhero and kaiju before?

Jessie McKay – Formerly known as Billie Kay in WWE but she has experience that goes back to Shimmer in the early 2010s. Eventually found success in WWE when she formed The IIconics and it followed her over to TNA for a little bit too. Yeah… I got nothing else. A lot of people thought that time she shouted “Hey, Kayla” out loud was funny, I guess.
Moves To Watch Out For: The IIdolizer (Inverted Magic Killer), Pedigree, Codebreaker

Cassie Lee – The former KC Cassidy and Peyton Royce took a different path than her tag partner, travelling over to Canada so she could learn from Lance Storm. Hit a road block in WWE when she tried seperating from McKay to go into singles wrestling but things just didn’t work out for the both of them. If the team did anything interesting in TNA outside of their title wins then I don’t know about it.
Moves To Watch Out For: The IIdolizer (Inverted Magic Killer), Blue Thunder Bomb, Twist Of Fate

Shoko Nakajima – Meet the Big Kaiju, all 147cm of her! Shoko Nakajima has pretty much done it all in TJPW as one of the promotion’s longest serving wrestlers. Usually relying on quick reflexes, she also has the strength to put away opponents with the Northern Lights Suplex or the Diving Senton. When put in Hardcore Match situations her favorite weapon of choice is a pile of kaiju toys that she slams her opponents onto. She’s a Swiss Army Knife that can adapt to any kind of situation wrestling can throw at her. That’s helpful when her tag team partner comes up with crazy ideas on a regular basis.
Moves To Watch Out For: Northern Lights Suplex, Diving Senton, Unmanned Local Train Hold (Yurikamome submission hold), 619, Rider Kick (One-Legged Dropkick)

Hyper Misao – When love and peace is under threat in TJPW, you can always rely on Hyper Misao to come to the rescue. Just be aware that her plans to save the world are never as heroic as intended. She often gets on the microphone to greet everyone with “Hello big children” before explaining her plan to save the day. Of course by being a superhero that means she has her own Hypami Combat Bike. She likes to crash it into her opponents along with any unfortunate bystander who happens to be nearby. She also blinds opponents with her Hero Correction Spray. Deep down inside Misao is a multi-layered human being with infinite potential that if harvested correctly could turn her into a very powerful wrestler. But why go through all that baggage when you can just wear a cool mask and cheat like hell instead?
Moves To Watch Out For: Hypami Returns (Final Cut), I Am A Hero (Diving Cross Body), Crossface Chickenwing, Vanitas (Double Arm Facebuster), Cold Spray Attack


6. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs J-Rod

So TJPW has finally gone ahead and put Yuki Arai on top of the mountain when she won the Princess Of Princess Title in Sumo Hall last month. Now the hard work begins because she isn’t going to be wrestling Miu Watanabe over and over anymore. Her first challenger is a tough one. TJPW chose one of their regular American guests J-Rod to face her and she is getting the home field advantage too. J-Rod wants to make history by becoming the first American wrestler to win the Princess Title. She failed to do it once before but does she have the better odds this time against a less powerful champion who is kind of still learning on the job?

Yuki Arai – The day finally came for TJPW’s chosen one when she became the brand new Princess Champion last month. Arai was once a pop idol from the group SKE48 and when she became a pro wrestler she juggled both careers at the same time. She eventually made the decision to leave music behind so she could dedicate herself full time to pro wrestling. It paid off in spades for her as she has become the latest wrestler to achieve the TJPW Grand Slam (which is only held by two other wrestlers). With that being said, she still needs the right dance partner in some situations so it remains to be seen if this title reign requires on the job training, so to speak. She also unintentionally associates herself with France because of her blue, white and red colour scheme. She really likes include the French Tricolor in her tweets.
Moves To Watch Out For: Finally (Heel Drop axe kick), Scorpion Death Lock, Rookie Award (Pump Kick to a kneeling opponent), Full Nelson Buster

J-Rod – The “Ultimate Athlete” will soon be appearing on your screens as Supernova in the latest reboot of American Gladiators. Other than that you will usually find her wrestling in Ohio Valley Wrestling and more recently Juggalo Championship Wrestling. A powerhouse on the level that only Miu Watanabe can match in TJPW, J-Rod has done several tours with the promotion in Japan and one tour in Canada. Yet this will be her first time wrestling on an American TJPW show. It’s only fitting that her match is about whether or not she can become the first American Princess Champion.
Moves To Watch Out For: Ultimate Spear, Samoan Drop, Side Slam, Fall Away Slam

———————————————————————–

There are a few other shows where you will find TJPW wrestlers in action this year. They also have different meet and greets going on at Slam Fest and Wrestlecon but I’m just going to focus on the matches here.


PODER~! “PODERMANIA~!”, 15/04/2026
Horseshoe, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. International Tag Team Match: Amira & Lil Marz Vs Toga & Jazzy Yang

The first place you can find a TJPW wrestler in action will be at the annual “PODERMANIA~!” women’s wrestling show where Toga is teaming up with Jazzy Yang, the daughter of former WCW and WWE wrestler Jimmy Yang. One of their opponents Amira just took part in TJPW’s Vancouver tour while Australian wrestler Lil Marz is finishing up a stay in Europe to take part in this show.


GCW “JOSH BARNETT’S BLOODSPORT XV”, 17/04/2026
Horseshoe, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Miyu Yamashita Vs Janai Kai

Despite her martial arts background, Yamashita’s appearances in GCW’s Bloodsport spin-off have seen her on the losing end both times with high profile losses to Shayna Bazsler and Nattie Neidhart. Third time may be the charm but she has a poor singles record against Janai Kai too whenever they face each other in a more normal pro wrestling environment.


PRIDESTYLE “OUT OF THIS WORLD”, 17/04/2026
Bizarre Bar, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Special Single Match: Taniya Vs Miu Watanabe

Unless something else gets announced, the last TJPW related match to look forward to in Vegas is Miu Watanabe taking on Taniya at one of the PrideStyle shows. Taniya holds the promotion’s women’s title but this has not been advertised as a title match.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “VANCOUVER PREMIERE – DAY 2” Results

April 13, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “VANCOUVER PREMIERE – DAY 2”, 12/04/2026
Great Canadian Hastings Racecourse & Casino, Vancouver, BC, Canada
352 Fans

1. HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki defeated Wakana Uehara & Toga when HIMAWARI pinned Toga with the Sunflower Tempest (14:40).
2. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Kristara with the Famouser (6:05).
3. Liiza Hall & Uta Takami defeated Raku & Pom Harajuku when Hall pinned Harajuku with the Piledriver (10:23).
4. Miu Watanabe defeated Cherry Blossom with the Tear Drop (8:12).
5. Miyu Yamashita defeated Nicole Matthews with the Skull Kick (13:41).
6. Yuki Arai & Suzume defeated J-Rod & Sakura Hattori when Suzume pinned Hattori with the Ring A Bell (14:01).

The second half of the Vancouver tour was also the go home show for the upcoming show in Las Vegas. The main event had the Princess Of Princess Champion and International Princess Champion teaming up to fight their Vegas challengers. J-Rod almost took care of the two champions all by herself when she lifted up both Yuki Arai & Suzume into a Double Samoan Drop. Sakura Hattori took over to try and finish off Suzume but fell to the Ring A Bell instead, handing the ninja her first proper defeat since her gimmick change. After the match Arai & Suzume told the fans that they want to come back to Vancouver. Sayuri Namba finished the show by saying Tokyo Joshi Pro made so many new friends this weekend and Tokyo Joshi Pro would love to see them all again.

Back in 2023 Miyu Yamashita and Nicole Matthews swapped wins against each other with singles matches held in Canada and America. Today was the rubber match and Yamashita dodged Matthews finisher to bounce off the rope and knock her down with the Skull Kick. Yamashita recalled her first match with Matthews in Canada and said she never forgot that day. She was able to win today but it was a close call, which means Yamashita needs to get even stronger. Matthews hopes she gets to fight her again someday so she can even the score 2-2.

An interesting opponent was found for Miu Watanabe. She took on Cherry Blossom, a Japanese woman who lives in Canada and trained to become a pro wrestler over there after becoming a fan a few years ago. She’s only about a year into her wrestling career and was put through her paces by Watanabe. Despite making a comeback, Blossom made the rookie mistake of charging right into Watanabe’s counter and she was beaten with the Tear Drop. When Watanabe learned of Blossom’s background, she was happy to find another Japanese person to share her love of pro wrestling with while in Vancouver.

First, Raku & Pom Harajuku entered their match eating packets of crisps. Then during the match they briefly ran off and wheeled out a trolly that had been converted into the “412 RakuPom” bus! Harajuku climbed into it and Raku pushed her all the way into Liiza Hall at ringside! However Uta Takami grabbed hold of Raku to stop her from getting into the ring while Hall gave Harajuku a Cattle Mutilation followed by the Piledriver for the victory.
