*V4 for Miu Watanabe.

One year ago Miu Watanabe couldn’t beat the allegations that she is a monster rather than a princess. Fast forward one year later and there is no denying that she is the Princess Of Princess Champion to beat! The 11th annual Korakuen Hall show on 4th January served as Tokyo Joshi Pro’s entry into 2026 and delivered a main event that will be remembered as one of the promotion’s greatest matches to ever happen. Suzume used ever ounce of strength she had to try and avoid being swung around by Watanabe. In doing so she tied up the champion with the Hachinosu Eight Knot submission hold. She also relied on doing high risk Flying Facecrushers both in and out of the ring. When things looked most bleak for her, she pulled out the Ring A Bell as the big counter to Watanabe’s Tear Drop but that couldn’t get her the win. She jumped to the ropes to do the Spring Ring A Bell but Watanabe struck her out of the air with a Batting Hammer and followed it up with the Laserbeam. After that all she needed to do was land the Spinning Tear Drop to remain the champion.

Watanabe said the leadup period to this match with Suzume felt so long but she had so much fun along the way. She wants to defend the title against Suzume again some day and knows it will happen. But her next goal is to have a successful title defence in front of a packed Sumo Hall on 29th March. Once she can do that she is sure she can find even happier dreams to make come true. TJPW’s slogan for 2026 is “KAWAII×DREAM×STRONG ～Pro Wrestling That Makes You Look Forward To Tomorrow～” and Watanabe’s goal is to expand the promotion’s circle of happiness. In her backstage comments Watanabe noticed just as much cheers coming from the overseas fans in attednance than the Japanese fans. She said both are good and it’s nice to think that TJPW is reaching out to the whole world. She will be travelling a lot this year and wants to spread TJPW worldwide along with the Princess Title. While Suzume couldn’t win today, she comes out of the match loving pro wrestling even more. Today only showed that she doesn’t understand yet the weight of being the Princess Champion. It only makes her want it more so she isn’t going to give up.

The emergence of Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed as the newest challengers for the Princess Tag Team Titles proved to be a tough nut for Ober Eats to crack. Yuki Kamifuku resorted to bringing Yuki Aino out of the ring to fight in the front row while Wakana Uehara dealt with Haru Kazashiro between the ropes. Ober Eats took control from there until Aino made a comeback with Kazashiro following her lead. Kazashiro jumped off of Aino’s back to land a Low Cross Body onto Kamifuku but Uehara was there to stop Aino from doing the UBV. Kamifuku gave both of Prism Greed a Double Famouser and Uehara put Kazashiro in the Banana Pillow, increasing the pressure until the challenger gave up. Uehara admitted to having sleepless nights from losing the preview matches leading into today. If she had lost the Princess Tag Titles she would be spending the rest of this year feeling depressed. Kamifuku was in a better mood going into the match because she spend the New Year period with her parents and the 1.8L bottle of sake she gave her father as a gift only lasted 12 hours. It taught her the lesson to stop being so uptight during title matches. Prism Greed learned that losing this match means they can only move up from here. Kazashiro now thinks the wins she got heading into the title match are meaningless if you can’t win the big one at the end but she also thinks she has gotten closer with Aino. She’ll be by her side until Aino decides to retire or graduate.

The surprising return of MIRAI to TJPW resulted in an even further shocking turn of events when she beat Arisu Endo to become the new International Princess Champion! Now a part of Michinoku Pro, MIRAI was accompanied to the ring by ken45° and Manjimaru but the two men had no intentions of disrupting the match. MIRAI went on to avoid the Ju no Okite and rope break her way out of the Camel Clutch. Endo found herself in danger when she took the Miramare Shock (Death Valley Bomb) and before she realized it, MIRAI knocked her down with the Lariat and got the three count to win the championship! The result makes MIRAI the first person to win titles in Stardom, Marigold and TJPW (and JTO if you want to go deeper).

MIRAI has now won the title she failed to get during her days as a TJPW roster member. After thanking Endo for the match she announced her intentions to defend the belt, causing Toga to enter the ring and ask for a title shot. Toga wasn’t around back when MIRAI was with TJPW but watching this match made Toga want to wrestle her. MIRAI said she heard of Toga for having strong elbow strikes and looking like a cool wrestler so she wants fight her too. She accepted her challenge. Backstage MIRAI spoke about the warm reception from TJPW fans for her return. She always wanted to be one of a kind and TJPW is the promotion that best suits that kind of mindset. Toga said she was going to make a challenge no matter who won today because she wants to show she can be strong by herself but she is happy to go elbow versus elbow with MIRAI. It is also meant to be an international championship, Toga wants to spread her wings and fly out into the world.

The show also featured the return of Yuka Sakazaki as she reunited The Magical Sugar Rabbits with Mizuki while Yuki Arai joined in on the fun. Sakazaki was puzzled to see Raku taking a nap in the ring when the match began until Raku woke up and shouted “First sunrise!” while wearing a sun-shaped hat. Max The Impaler wasn’t in the same sleepy mood and decided to throw Raku’s pillow into the crowd. They then picked up Pom Harajuku to throw at the other team but they all dodged it and Harajuku landed hard on the mat. MagiRabi threw what they could at Max to slow them down while Arai got to pin Harajuku with a Modified Brainbuster to start her year off with a win. Arai said her goal for 2026 is to become champion, Mizuki’s goal is to take TJPW into the galaxy and Sakazaki’s goal is to become a NASA executive.

Mifu Ashida’s cheerleading is infectious enough to get J-Rod involved. When Ashida decided to bring in her pompoms for a cheer, she handed one over to her partner and J-Rod eventually decided to join in while they beat down their opponents. Miyu Yamashita was able to break down J-Rod with her kicks while Kaya Toribami targeted Ashida. Things took a wrong turn for Toribami when Ashida used her own flexibility to get out of the Bird Cage and then German Suplex her opponent. However Toribami got to hit her with a knee to the back of the head before landing the Sento Choryu to get the victory. Yamashita & Toribami still hold the IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles and they want to defend them even more this year. J-Rod said she will team with Ashida again but next time they will get rid of the smiling faces and take things more seriously. Ashida didn’t really listen because she’s just happy with the idea of getting to team up with J-Rod again.

The 12:10 race meeting near Wins Korakuen was about to begin. The annual Ittenyon match between Shoko Nakajima and Hyper Misao took on a horse racing theme this year because 2026 is the Year Of The Horse. Also Umamusume is bigger than ever and despite the corporate connections this is the only way TJPW could capitalize on it. The first ever Uma Princess Cup race took place between three uma-wrestlers: Haru Utata, Gold Konatsu Ship and Silence Shion. It was up to Kyoraku Kyomei to bet on the right horsegirl to win a three lap race around Korakuen Hall. They were also permitted to do anything they wanted to interfere in the race so their chosen horsegirl would win. Nakajima picked Utata while Misao put it all on Shion, leaving Konatsu as the odd one out. As the race progressed Misao attacked Utata on the first lap until Nakajima came to the rescue. On the second lap Nakajima tried to attack Shion up in the aisleway but Shion instead slammed her onto a pile of Kaiju toys laid out on the floor. Misao rode out on the Hyper Mobile aiming to run over Utata but she hit Mahiro Kiryu instead. A big pile up resulted in the bike being laid on top of Kiryu. Daisuke Kiso counted to three and declared the Hypami Dramatic Dream as the new Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion! Meanwhile the race entered its final lap where Nakajima & Utata kept getting into fights with Misao & Shion. They also taped Konatsu & Kiryu together to slow them down but that pair slowly made progress on the track while everyone else was fighting each other. Misao ended up using the ring apron to wrap up Nakajima & Utata but some carelessness resulted in her & Shion getting trapped inside it too. While all of this was happening, Konatsu & Kiryu slowly made it across the finish line inside the ring to win the race, meaning neither Nakajima or Misao won the match. Shortly after the chaos ended, Kiryu pinned the Hypami Dramatic Dream at ringside to win back the Iron Man Title.

The Iron Man Title had a busy day because the match before the horsegirl race was a 4 Way with the belt up for grabs. Rika Tatsumi was on the verge of submitting Kiryu with the White Dragon Sleeper when Aja Kong knocked her out with a steel can. That left Shino Suzuki as the only one left to try and stop Kong. She narrowly avoided getting squashed with a Hip Drop to roll Kong over for a nearfall. Kong then stopped her in her tracks with a Slap and pinned her with the Back Drop to win the Iron Man Title.

After the match Kiryu told Kong her dream was to protect the championship until the day she was put in a coffin but now it will never happen. Then Tatsumi tried to School Boy Kong but it didn’t work. Kiryu then tried doing the same move and Tatsumi helped make it work by reaching out to strangle Kong by the neck. A three count was made and Tatsumi celebrated with the belt until it was announced that since Kiryu was directly on top of Kong for the pin, Kiryu was the new champion instead! Kong chased her backstage wanting to win it back but decided it would be better if she can beat Kiryu in a singles match for it. She told Kiryu to put her life on the line to defend the title until then.

Toga’s opening into getting an IP Title match was set up earlier in the show when she scored the pin for Hot Shot. With Yuna Manase there to take down HIMAWARI with a Lariat, nothing could stop Toga from hitting Kira Summer with the Elbow Smash and then follow it up with the Rock Bottom for the victory. Manase praised Toga for showing incredible spirit but Toga told her she hopes not to rely on her so much for 2026. That is why she wanted to beat Summer by herself in the finishing stretch. Manase agreed with her, saying that the point of Hot Shot is to help Toga shine like a Hollywood star. She’ll support Toga as she turns from being ice cold into the hottest blue flame. HIMAWARI & Summer still get along despite losing because both of their birthdays are on 18th December. They also enjoyed wrestling in front of a packed venue with a great atmosphere today.

The opening match was the debut of TJPW’s newest rookie Shion Kanzaki. She started off the bout against Uta Takami using moves like Elbow Strikes and a Headlock. Takami eventually locked in the Koala Clutch and Chika Nanase was there to stop Ren Konatsu from breaking it up. Kanzaki tried fighting back with Dropkicks but Takami applied another Koala Clutch, this time getting the rookie to submit. Kanzaki said she was nervous before the match but Konatsu was able to motivate her and she ended up enjoying the match. She has loved pro wrestling since she was a kid because it got her through so many situations in life so she wants to become a pro wrestler that can support someone else the same way. The wrestlers she looks up to are Shoko Nakajima and Miu Watanabe.

An unlikely debut is planned for “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” this March. The mascot Minimo-chan is going to have its first ever pro wrestling match! Minimo-chan is the mascot for the 2000s idol group Minimoni and it promised to do its best to do a Lariat. Minimo-chan will be accompanied for its match by one of Minimoni’s members Mari Yaguchi. She recently worked with TJPW for its show in Malaysia and she thought it was an incredibly cool experience. She finds it hard to imagine what Minimo-chan will look like in a TJPW ring but she will be there to cheer it on.

The annual Ittenyon tradition will continue next year as TJPW will again be in Korakuen Hall on 4th January, 2027. Rise Shirai and Fumirin announced it to everyone at the start of the show. I noticed though that unlike last year they did not announce a Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao match in advance. I hope that’s not foreshadowing something for down the line…

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SE-NO, MERRY CHRISTMAS! 2025” Results

December 21, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SE-NO, MERRY CHRISTMAS! 2025”, 21/12/2025
Tokyo Tama Mirai Messe
327 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Chika Nanase defeated Uta Takami with the Inari Torii Aratame (6:55).
2. Raku defeated Kira Summer with the Doctor Yellow (5:04).
3. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Mahiro Kiryu (c) defeated Shino Suzuki with the Spinebuster (4:20).
*V? for Mahiro Kiryu.
4. Kaya Toribami Vs Toga ended in a Time Limit Draw (7:00).
5. Hyper Misao defeated Ren Konatsu with the Chickenwing Face Lock (5:25).
6. Shoko Nakajima defeated Mifu Ashida with the Northern Lights Suplex (5:44).
7. Arisu Endo defeated Pom Harajuku with the Camel Clutch (6:10).
8. Mizuki Vs Rika Tatsumi ended in a Time Limit Draw (7:00).
9. Miyu Yamashita defeated Yuki Arai with the Skull Kick (1:05).
10. Suzume, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated Miu Watanabe, Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara when Aino pinned Kamifuku after the Updraft!! Overdrive (15:29).

As we move ever so closer into the new year, some of the challengers are building up momentum chasing after the champions. Suzume flew out of the ring and took Miu Watanabe along for the ride with a Flying Facecrusher to the floor below. With them both out of the picture, Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed got the better of Ober Eats and used a brand new double team finisher to win the match. Yuki Aino set Yuki Kamifuku into the Venus DDT position and Haru Kazashiro picked up Kamifuku by the legs. The two then lifted Kamifuku up above their heads before dropping her back down to the mat. This elevated Venus DDT was later named the Updraft!! Overdrive and it proved to be an effective weapon on one of the champs. Suzume praised the power of her team today but is not confident the result means she is good enough to beat Watanabe by herself. However she did get to show Watanabe a different side to her today that Watanabe certainly didn’t expect. Kazashiro noted that she has a singles match with Wakana Uehara next week. It will be their last prelim bout before Ittenyon. Watanabe felt like she was stung by Suzume, which probably explains why she is currently feeling a bad itch in her left arm. Ober Eats are also warning they will teach Prism Greed the dangers of going viral.

The nine singles matches on the show were all booked via lottery and had a seven minute time limit applied to them. The final match of the series barely went over one minute. Yuki Arai wanted to get on the attack early and even got a few Big Boots in on Miyu Yamashita but a High Kick completely knocked her for a loop. Yamashita hit another High Kick to make her stumble more before landing the Skull Kick to win in just 65 seconds. Yamashita said Arai still has a long way to go but she is excited to see what she will learn from today and do next from here on out. Arai said she is so shocked from the way she lost that she can’t even cry. She will now go take a look at herself to figure out what is the next best step forward she can take.

Mizuki played around with Rika Tatsumi’s feelings for her both before and after the match. Before the match began they shook hands only for Mizuki to kick Tatsumi in the stomach. Then after the match ended in a time limit draw, Mizuki shook Tatsumi’s hand once more only to kick her again.

Christmas was in the air for Pom Harajuku’s match. She brought down a sack full of treats along with a costume for Arisu Endo to wear. She then encouraged Endo to sit on a cart at ringside and Harajuku proceeded to push her around the venue until she tipped the cart over with Endo still on it (in the same spot where Shoko Nakajima tripped and fell over during her entrance). She then tried to trap Endo in the sack and tie her up in a ribbon. Endo got Uta Takami to free her from the trap and she proceeded to beat Harajuku with the Camel Clutch.

Hyper Misao accused Ren Konatsu of cheating in all of her matches because she colludes with the toy sheep she keeps attached to her outfit! Misao grabbed the toy and pretended to speak as it, admitting to the cheating! She then attacked Konatsu to start the match and continued to carry around the toy as it went on, only dropping it when Konatsu put her in a Sleeper Hold. Misao grabbed the toy again after she put Konatsu in the Chickenwing Face Lock and that somehow became Konatsu’s breaking point to submit. She at least got to grab her toy back after the match.

Shoko Nakajima had an entrance she would rather forget. First she tripped and fell over one of the floor mats on the way to the ring. Then her second Chika Nanase realised she was standing at the wrong corner and had to run over to the opposite side where Nakajima was. Nakajima took her frustrations out on Nanase at ringside while Mifu Ashida was making her own entrance.

The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title had a more quiet appearance than usual on this show. Mahiro Kiryu is currently the champion after she drank the previous champ, a bottle of Ocha tea, shortly after the OCHA NORMA show had finished. Here she was able to beat Shino Suzuki cleanly in a normal title defence, which isn’t normal at all when it comes to this championship.

Raku gave Kira Summer a sleeping mask to wear so she would take a nap in the ring. She then left a Christmas present next to Summer and left the ring before calling to wake her up. Summer saw the gift and tried to look inside it when Raku snuck in from behind and rolled her up for a nearfall.

The opener was a rematch of this year’s Next Generation Tournament final. Due to the double elimination rule that took place during it, Uta Takami and Chika Nanase traded a win each and it resulted in Takami becoming the tournament champion. In what could be seen as a rubber match, Nanase was able to make Takami submit to the elevated version of the Inari Torii with just seconds to go before the time limit could expire.

The first four teams entering next year’s Max Heart Tournament were announced. They are Ober Eats, Daydream, Daisy Monkey and Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed. The tournament will have twelve teams in total competing next year.

BASARA’s End Of Year Lineups, GanPro Mixed Tag Choices, Full TJPW Ittenyon Card

December 15, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 295 ~TAKAGARI 31~”, 27/12/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. ~Jun-chan’s Grilled Meat Voucher Contest~ East Vs West Knockout Match!: FUMA, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, SAGAT, Lil’ Kraken & Takeru Inoue Vs Ryuichi Sekine, Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino, Minoru Fujita & Banana Senga
2. 3 Way Match: Daichi Kazato Vs Ryota Nakatsu Vs Tsutomu Oosugi
3. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda (c) Vs Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura

A grilled meat restaurant in Tokyo is sponsoring a competition during the show where the winning team will receive meal vouchers. I’m having trouble understanding what the rules are because the translation I am getting is it will consist of two matches followed by a knockout round. I can’t tell if that is correct or not. Whatever way the format turns out, it is possible that it can end before everyone can enter the match somehow.

GANBARE☆PRO “BEFORE SUNRISE 2025”, 27/12/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Mizuki Watase, Shigehiro Irie, Munetatsu Nakamura & Sentaro Motoshima Vs Jun Kasai, Takuya Wada, Tyson Maeguchi & Shota Kawakami
2. Mixed 3-Way Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Mahiro Kiryu Vs Yuna Manase & Takashi Sasaki Vs Moeka Haruhi & Gabai Ji-chan Vs HARUKAZE & Hartley Jackson
3. Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Akira Shoji
4. YuuRI 5th Anniversary Match: YuuRI Vs Sareee
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii

The Mixed Tag Match is now a 4 Way thanks to an extra team joining in. The other wrestlers involved all got to pick their partners. Ken Ohka chose Mahiro Kiryu after she earned his respect over playing Mahjong with the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title on the line. Yuna Manase convinced Takashi Sasaki from FREEDOMS to team with her and the two think they can go all the way to becoming champions together. Moeka Haruhi picked Gabai Ji-chan fully knowing that anyone who lays a finger on her elderly partner will get booed out of the building. The new entry is HARUKAZE who heard that Hartley Jackson wanted to take part in the match with her as his partner which means Lethal Weapon are back together for one night only.

BASARA “BASARA 296 ~UTAGE~”, 28/12/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Takeru Inoue Vs Banana Senga
2. Takumi Tsukamoto, Daiki Shimomura & Tatsuya Hanami Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Yasu Urano & Minoru Fujita
3. Gauntlet Tag Match: Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA Vs Daichi Kazato & Tsutomu Oosugi Vs SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken Vs Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino
4. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

This is the complete card for BASARA’s final show of the year. I might be in attendance for this if I arrive in Tokyo early enough in the day to get settled in and then comfortably travel to Shin-Kiba.

SUPER JAPAN “NEVER MIND”, 29/12/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Ryuma Tsukamoto Vs Shota

6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Taiji Ishimori, Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei Vs Shuji Kondo, Ken Ohka & Mac Matsushita

Oh God, is The Sailor Boys reunion headlining the Super Japan show?!?

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

1. Uta Takami & Anri V Ren Konatsu & Shion
2. Yuna Manase, Toga & Chika Nanase Vs HIMAWARI, Shino Suzuki & Kira Summer
3. 3 Way Match: Aja Kong Vs Rika Tatsumi Vs Mahiro Kiryu
4. Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao
5. Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami Vs J-Rod & Mifu Ashida
6. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Yuki Arai Vs Max The Impaler, Raku & Pom Harajuku
7. International Princess Title: Arisu Endo (c) Vs MIRAI
8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Suzume

The full lineup for Ittenyon is here. The Magical Sugar Rabbits are back together and teaming up with Yuki Arai for some extra sweetness. They will face what the Love Triangle would look like if Yuki Aino went all Incredible Hulk on everyone. Instead it’s Max The Impaler teaming with Raku & Pom Harajuku. Normally Raku sides with Aja Kong in the monster friendship chart but Kong will be wrestling earlier on the show in a 3 Way Match with Rika Tatsumi and Mahiro Kiryu. At the time of writing, Kiryu is back to being the current Iron Man Champion so expect that belt to come into play. The last time Kong won that title will be six years ago to the day when the match takes place.

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

Still speaking of Kong, she will be at Sumo Hall in March as well.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE IN BANGKOK” Results

December 13, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE IN BANGKOK”, 13/12/2025
The Circus Studio, G Village, Bangkok, Thailand
327 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Uta Takami with the Famouser (7:57).
2. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Yuki Arai & Shino Suzuki when Suzume pinned Suzuki with the Ring A Bell (11:08).
3. MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) defeated Alexis Lee with the Diving Senton (9:05).
*V6 for Shoko Nakajima.
4. IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami (c) defeated Raku & Pom Harajuku when Yamashita pinned Raku with the Skull Kick (14:27).
*V1 for Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami.
5. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) defeated Matcha with the Spinning Tear Drop (17:47).
*V3 for Miu Watanabe.

The last few years of Tokyo Joshi Pro and SETUP working together has all led to this, the first TJPW show to be held in Thailand! Such an important show needed an important match so Match, the current SETUP All Asia Women’s Champion challenged Miu Watanabe for the Princess Of Princess Title. The hometown challenger winning would lead to severe consequences for 4th January and rob that show of a main event title match but Watanabe took the match and won through in the end. A late pin after the Saito Suplex gave Watanabe enough recovery time to kick out. She was then able to block another Saito Suplex, hit Matcha with the Laserbeam strike and finish her off with the Spinning Tear Drop. She told Matcha after the match she is glad they got to show each other their love for pro wrestling in a place that Matcha holds so dear. While Matcha couldn’t win the title, she thinks today was a huge victory for the Thailand wrestling scene because this was the first all-women wrestling show to take place in Southeast Asia.

The connections between TJPW and SETUP also runs deep because a TJPW team currently hold one of SETUP’s championships. Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami were here to defend the IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles and their opponents were two TJPW wrestlers who have already made their mark in SETUP by being champions there in the past. Raku & Pom Harajuku got the jump on the champions at the start by using Raku’s nap trick, then Raku tried to suffocate Toribami with a pillow while Yamashita chased Harauku around ringside. Harajuku armed herself with boxing gloves so she could punch Yamashita but ended up bumping into Raku when they missed some attacks. Toribami knocked Harajuku away with a Shining Enzuigiri while Yamashita set Raku with the Skull Kick for the succesful defence. Toribami was thrilled because this was her first time defending a championship while Yamashita was relieved because she couldn’t predict what Raku & Harajuku would get up to. It’s complicated because on the one hand she doesn’t want to have another title match against them but on the other she thinks they should have a rematch back in Japan. Harajuku is disappointed because if her team won, she wanted to take the black title belt and Raku would get the red one.

The MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title was also defended on this show when Shoko Nakajima put the belt on the line against a regular name around these parts Alexis Lee. When it was clear that Nakajima had the upper hand in ability, Lee resorted to cheating. The referee Shivam was accidentally taken out by Nakajima’s Rider Kick and when Lee gave her the Sister Abigal, nobody was around to count it. Lee then grabbed the belt and hit Nakajima with it before hitting her No Lee Way finisher but Shivam’s slow recovery gave Nakajima enough breathing room to kick out at two. Nakajima then avoided the Sister Abigail to hit Lee with the 619 then followed it up with the Double Arm DDT and Diving Senton for the victory. Nakajima said she now has the right to go and wrestle in Lee’s home country of Singapore so next time they can go fight over there.

Shino Suzuki led the way in Match #2 by giving everyone else in the match a “tour” of Bangkok in the ring. She & Yuki Arai worked together to wear down Suzume but Arisu Endo was there to save her tag partner. Daisy Monkey then went ahead on the attack with Endo taking care of Arai so Suzume could pin Suzuki with the Ring A Bell.

The height difference of Yuki Kamifuku and Uta Takami was shown throughout the opening match. Kamifuku kept using Big Boots and other moves that relied on her long legs. Takami worked hard to try and avoid the Famouser but her own Koala Clutch was blocked so Kamifuku could win with her finisher anyway.

The show began with a performance from all four members of The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling). Also earlier in the day there was a SETUP show in the venue that featured Watanabe and Matcha signing their contracts for the title match.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW X OCHA NORMA – OCHA PRO☆KORAKUEN” Results

December 7, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW X OCHA NORMA – OCHA PRO☆KORAKUEN”, 07/12/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
910 Fans – No Vacancy

5. Mizuki, Suzume & Yuki Arai defeated Miu Watanabe, Yuki Aino & Toga when Suzume pinned Toga with the Ring A Bell (16:37).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Ocha defeated Natsume Nakayama (c) by Submission (2:44 pm).
*Ocha becomes the 1,789th champion.

A crossing of idol worlds took place for Tokyo Joshi Pro’s final Korakuen Hall show for 2025. They collaborated with the group OCHA NORMA for a special one-off show mixing wrestling matches with an idol concert. For the matches, different members of OCHA NORMA would play a role whether it was as a ring announcer, a commentator or simply to cheer on the wrestlers from ringside.

The show did still push forward towards 4th January. The main event had Miu Watanabe and Suzume cross paths again. Watanabe gave Suzume & Mizuki a Double Body Slam followed by the Double Giant Swing. Yuki Arai cut her off from doing the Canadian Backbreaker and Suzume wore her down to the point where she could do a low hanging Ring-A-Bell. Yuki Aino & Toga worked together to double team Suzume but Mizuki came in to give Watanabe the Whirling Candy. Suzume then singled out Toga to hit the Ring-A-Bell and win the match for her team. After the match Suzume said she is happy to see so many people’s love come together here, whether it is for OCHA NORMA or for pro wrestling. She promoted the 4th January show along with her match with Watanabe for the Princess Of Princess Title. Watanabe told Suzume they will meet here in Korakuen on 4th January to clash over what they love.

Tea is a strong concept that follows everything OCHA NORMA does but not everyone in TJPW are into that sort of stuff. There’s a group of wrestlers who think coffee is the superior drink and will fight to prove it! Hyper Misao, Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer joined forces to become the Coffee Breakers and promised to paint Korakuen Hall pitch black! They entered to the music from a Japanese coffee commercial then attacked the other team with coffee mugs. Misao also spat coffee into Rika Tatsumi’s face like it was the Poison Mist. However Misao also pulled out a spray can and accidentally blinded Kamifuku when Tatsumi ducked the attack. Tatsumi then sprayed all of the Coffee Breakers. Mifu Ashida threw Misao away with a German Suplex, Miyu Yamashita hit Kamifuku with the Skull Kick and Tatsumi finished off Summer with the Missile Hip.

With Tatsumi victorious the path was now clear for her to achieve her dream. For months now she has been winning and defending the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title just so she can give it as a gift to Natsume Nakayama, her favorite member of OCHA NORMA. After the match Tatsumi invited Nakayama into the ring and laid on the canvas with her eyes closed so she could be pinned. However Mahiro Kiryu entered the ring and pinned Tatsumi to win the title instead! When Tatsumi realised what happened, she got mad and choked Kiryu unconscious. She then invited Nakayama to pin Kiryu but she declined. Tatsumi wouldn’t take no for an answer though and she made Nakayama sit on Kiryu to pin her and become the new champion. Tatsumi’s dream came true and she hopes everyone took lots of cute pictures of them together with the belt.

A special guest from Mexico was booked from the show to make up for Shoko Nakajima being absent due to what was only described as “various circumstances”. Taking her place was Ochanor Mask and she made an odd first impression by deciding to dance instead of shaking her opponents’ hands before the match began. Wakana Uehara & Ren Konatsu didn’t know what to make of the Ocha Libre wrestling style and then things got even more odd when Konatsu accidentally unmasked Ochanor, possibly unveiling that it was really Shoko Nakajima all along! Ochanor tried to keep her face hidden and was still able to pin Konatsu before putting the mask back on in the hopes that no one noticed. Kaya Toribami was happy to win with her new Mexican friend but being a masked wrestler herself, she understands how scary a moment like that can be.

Ryo Mizunami was just as confused as the OCHA NORMA fans in attendance when her match began with Raku & Pom Harajuku taking a nap in the ring, causing their opponents to do the same thing. She woke Raku up and got attacked by her by mistake so the match could go ahead. Mizunami’s team eventually got on the same page and she was able to pin Chika Nanase with the Spear to win.

With a Princess Tag Team Titles shot coming up around the corner, Haru Kazashiro unveiled an upgraded version of her Arm Stretch submission hold. She can now set it up like a Codebreaker and then keep it applied in a way that looks like the Sol Naciente that Masato Yoshino from Dragon Gate used to do. The move that Kazashiro used is now called the Izayoi, which refers to the 16th night of the month that takes place after a full moon… Oh wait, there’s also something here that says it’s a Tokustatsu reference so that’s probably where she got the name from. Anyway, even though Arisu Endo took care of HIMAWARI and left the match up to Uta Takami, Kazashiro turned the tables and used the Izayoi to make Takami give up.

Midway through the show there was a special challenge that pitted TJPW against OCHA NORMA. It was an all out Rock Paper Scissors battle between the two sides. Haru Kazashiro and Pom Harajuku lost their games but Shino Suzuki saved the day for the TJPW team, winning the final game that was worth three points so TJPW ended up beating OCHA NORMA 3-2.

There were three musical performances held throughout the show in between the matches. OCHA NORMA performed for the majority of them but The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) took part in the opening segment. They played two of their own songs along with an OCHA NORMA cover that the actual OCHA NORMA then joined in for at the end.

Nakayama’s reign as the Iron Man champion ended not that long after the show had finished. She was approached by Mahiro Kiryu and Shino Suzuki backstage along with the referee Fumirin. Kiryu convinced Nakayama to give up the championship because Nakayama herself does not want to worry about defending the title. However when she declared she was giving up the title, Fumirin noticed she was holding a bottle of ocha tea next to the belt. Fumirin then decided that Nakayama had given up to the ocha tea which means Ocha is now the champion, not Kiryu!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW KAKUKAKU FESTIVAL” Results

November 24, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW KAKUKAKU FESTIVAL PART 1 TEAM TJ”, 24/11/2025
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
173 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Kaya Toribami defeated Chika Nanase with the Bird Cage (8:05).
2. Hyper Misao defeated HIMAWARI with La Magistral Cradle (9:34).
3. Arisu Endo defeated Kira Summer with the Camel Clutch (9:27).
4. Miu Watanabe defeated Rika Tatsumi with the Tear Drop (13:18).
5. Yuki Kamifuku & Yuki Aino defeated Yuki Arai & Uta Takami when Aino pinned Takami with the Venus DDT (11:39).

An uncommon doubleheader held at Itabashi Green Hall today split the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster into two camps. The first show of the day featured wrestlers from “Team TJ“. It also happened to have all of Yuki Yuki Yuki taking part in the main event. Yuki Kamifuku & Yuki Aino got to team up as Double YUKI, leaving out Yuki Arai so she had to team with Uta Takami. At one point Double YUKI wound up switching bodies so Kamifuki wrestled like Aino and vice versa. When they turned back to normal, Kamifuku blamed Takami for causing it to happen. Kamifuku admitted after the match she lost track of what happened but learned the important lesson that you should love yourself because everyone is unique. Aino said it’s a miracle that there are so many Yuki’s in TJPW.

Mahiro Kiryu’s scheduled match with Rika Tatsumi was called off because Tatsumi was feeling unwell and couldn’t be at the show. Miu Watanabe was brought in to work double duty for the day, becoming Kiryu’s new opponent on the day show before moving on to wrestle again in the evening event. Both of them tried to imitate Tatsumi’s “Let’s Go!” Elbow Drop but both of them also missed the move. Kiryu tried to apologise over it while Watanabe stopped her. Kiryu then got angry because you never interrupt an apology and the two started arguing while kneeling to each other. When they went back to fighting, Watanabe’s knees became numb from the kneeling so Kiryu took her out of the ring and made her kneel on the floor in an attempt to count her out. Watanabe struggled but made it back into the ring at the 19 count. She recovered from the unusual leg work to win the match with the Tear Drop.

It’s been a busy week for HIMAWARI as she has been performing in a stage play when not wrestling in matches. Hyper Misao wanted to see HIMAWARI show off her talent and made her recite some of her lines from the play but it was just so she could roll her up from behind to try and get an early victory.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW KAKUKAKU FESTIVAL PART 2 TEAM PW”, 24/11/2025
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
190 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Raku defeated Ren Konatsu with the Front Neck Lock (7:33).
2. Wakana Uehara defeated Mifu Ashida with the Sushi Tornado (9:09).
3. Mizuki defeated Shino Suzuki with the Face Lock (10:34).
4. Shoko Nakajima defeated Pom Harajuku with the Northern Lights Suplex (11:58).
5. Miu Watanabe & Toga defeated Suzume & Haru Kazashiro when Watanabe pinned Kazashiro with the Tear Drop (14:27).

Watanabe wrestled again on the evening show as part of the “Team PW” half of the roster. She had to be more focused for this one because Suzume, her next opponent for the Princess Of Princess Title was facing her in the main event tag bout. Suzume got to land the Ring A Bell on Watanabe but Toga was there to run in and keep her partner out of trouble. Haru Kazashiro tried to take on Watanabe in Suzume’s place but ended up getting pinned with the Tear Drop for her troubles. After the match Watanabe talked about the fun day she had in Itabashi while Toga reminded her she was only here for the evening show. Watanabe now has to concentrate on her title defences with both Suzume and Matcha. She’s going to do her best to give 120% in those matches. Although Suzume lost today, she feels her skills and attitude are currently on par with Watanabe. From now until 4th January she is only going to think about fighting her.

Today is the 7th Anniversary of Pom Harajuku’s debut match. To celebrate the occasion she decided to get a brand new costume to wrestle in and since her opponent was the “Big Kaiju” Shoko Nakajima, she walked out wearing an inflated T-Rex suit! The costume doubled her power and made Headbutting very effective against Nakajima. She chased her around ringside where Nakajima used Mifu Ashida and Ren Konatsu as human shields only for them to bounce off of Harajuku. Back in the ring Nakajima found the suit’s weak spot and with a well aimed punch it began to deflate. Nakajima continued to pound on the suit unaware that Harajuku crawled out of it to safety. A sneak attack from Harajuku didn’t last and Nakajima instead beat her with the Rider Kick, 619 and Northern Lights Suplex combo. Harajuku thanked everyone for helping her make it to seven years in wrestling because she wouldn’t have gotten here on her own. She’ll continue to work hard as a pro wrestler. She also said all of that while wearing the T-Rex costume.

Ashida and Wakana Uehara spent part of their match having a cheerleading contest. It ended when Ashida rolled up Uehara from behind for a nearfall.

Raku wore a sheep hat to look like the sheep doll that Konatsu keeps on her belt buckle. Both sheep greeted each other before the match began.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “UTA TAKAMI TRIUMPHANT RETURN ~HYAKUMANGOKU SMILE IN KANAZAWA~” Results

November 22, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “UTA TAKAMI TRIUMPHANT RETURN ~HYAKUMANGOKU SMILE IN KANAZAWA~”, 22/11/2025
Kanazawa Ryutsu Kaikan
256 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Shino Suzuki defeated Ren Konatsu with a Modified Cobra Clutch (7:07).
2. Suzume defeated Mifu Ashida with the Ring A Bell (8:01).
3. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Rika Tatsumi, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Hyper Misao, Mahiro Kiryu (c) & Kaya Toribami when Tatsumi submitted Kiryu with the White Dragon Sleeper (9:46).
*Rika Tatsumi becomes the 1,786th champion.
4. Yuki Arai defeated Kira Summer with the Scorpion Death Lock (6:53).
5. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Yuki Aino & Chika Nanase when Uehara pinned Nanase with the Sushi Tornado (11:23).
6. Mizuki & Toga defeated Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro when Mizuki pinned Kazashiro with the Cutie Special (12:55).
7. Shoko Nakajima & HIMAWARI defeated Miu Watanabe & Uta Takami when Nakajima pinned Takami with the Northern Lights Suplex (16:36).

Today was Uta Takami’s day in the spotlight with the show taking place in her home of region of Ishikawa. She put up a spirited fight in the main event, particularly with Shoko Nakajima near the end. However Nakajima kept breaking out of the Koala Clutch, hit Takami with some Rider Kicks and pinned her with the Northern Lights Suplex. Nakajima told everyone that she’s been wrestling twice as long as Takami but today’s match was so fun she is giving her a perfect score! While Takami was happy from seeing so many people turn out for her today, she admits she still has a long way to go. She promised that Tokyo Joshi Pro will grow even bigger so they can come back to Ishikawa again. Miu Watanabe also praised Takami in their backstage interview for having a strong desire to improve.

An Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title change happened on the show when Rika Tatsumi submitted Mahiro Kiryu in a 6-Woman Tag Match. It was a match where Tatsumi, Raku & Pom Harajuku all pretended to be crabs at the start because crabs are a local delicacy in Ishikawa. After Tatsumi won the title, Raku tried to obscure her vision with an eye mask and rolled her up for a nearfall. Tatsumi escaped and once she was safe she gave an interview to a backstage reporter. She didn’t plan to win the title back from Kiryu today but it just happened to go that way. In another coincidence, Ishikawa is where her favorite OCHA NORMA idol Natsume Nakayama is from so maybe this is fate playing out. Her goal to gift Nakayama the Iron Man Title at the “OCHA PRO☆KORAKUEN” show next month is back on track! However, Kiryu says she is going to get her championship back at Itabashi Green Hall tomorrow because it just so happens that she and Tatsumi have a singles match against each other scheduled there.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION” Results

November 19, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 19/11/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
247 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Kaya Toribami defeated Toga with the Sento Choryu (8:29).
2. Rika Tatsumi defeated Gabai Ji-chan with a Reverse Figure 4 Leg Lock (11:31).
3. Mizuki & Yuki Aino defeated Raku & HIMAWARI when Mizuki pinned Raku with the Cutie Special (14:59).
4. Shoko Nakajima & Miyu Yamashita Vs Yuu & Yuki Kamifuku ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).

You never forget where you came from. Yuu never forgot where she came from either. It’s been seven years since she graduated from Tokyo Joshi Pro and she hadn’t stepped foot back inside until today. She will be retiring from pro wrestling at the end of the year but before that can happen she just had to come by for one last appearance. For the special match Yuu teamed with Yuki Kamifuku to take on Miyu Yamashita & Shoko Nakajima, two former rivals she has fought with over the Princess Of Princess Title in the past. Yamashita relished the chance to kick her again while Yuu took the blows and threw her around just as hard. Nakajima and Kamifuku weren’t left out of the action either and all four of them were spent when the bell rang for a time limit draw.

After the match Kamifuku got on the microphone to welcome Yuu back to TJPW. She told Yuu how sad she was when Yuu left the promotion but Kamifuku used that as motivation to work harder. Now she is a champion leading the younger generation. She joked that Yuu couldn’t imagine this matchup ending in a draw knowing how often Kamifuku lost her matches back then. She has improved so much that she wants her three seniors to start praising her. As soon as this match was announced, Yamashita was reminded of all the times she and Yuu exchanged blows like crazy. Today was just like that and even though Yamashita’s chest was left red, it felt so good. The red marks will go away but the Chops Yuu gave her will always be in her heart. Nakajima pointed out that she is the same age as Yuu and they share the same birthday. However when it comes to wrestling Nakajima is a little bit older so it makes her sad to see Yuu is retiring before her.

Yuu promised she wasn’t going to cry until she retires but she couldn’t help doing it today because she’s never going to fight with these wrestlers again. She was the first woman to graduate from TJPW but continue wrestling elsewhere. While she didn’t always see eye to eye with Tetsuya Koda, she wanted to take this chance to thank him along with everyone else in the company for giving her a warm send off at the time. She loves pro wrestling and is truly grateful that she’ll be able to retire while still loving it. From next year onwards she will support TJPW as a fan.

When Match #3 began Raku immediately asked Yuki Aino for a hug and offered her an eye mask so they could take a nap in the ring together. Mizuki told Aino not to take the offer but Aino couldn’t resist. Raku quickly rolled her up for a nearfall but Aino kicked out and briefly wrestled while still having the eye mask blocking her sight. She went on to handle HIMAWARI while Mizuki pinned Raku with the Cutie Special.

Rika Tatsumi tried to be polite to Gabai Ji-chan by holding down the bottom ring rope for him to enter the ring but he decided to trip her down with his walking cane. Then as they wrestled, Tatsumi strangled Ji-chan in the corner until he fainted. She got upset thinking he died but he was only playing possum to roll her up for a nearfall. He also did the Old School rope walk by using his cane for assitance. Tatsumi pulled the cane away, causing him to get crotched on the ropes. Ji-chan tried fighting back but his legs kept giving up on him whenever he attempted a Body Slam. He also injured his knee from giving Tatsumi (with her diamond hips) an Atomic Drop. Tatsumi worked the leg but that couldn’t stop Ji-chan from suddenly using Keiji Muto’s moveset from the Dragon Screw to the Shining Wizard to the Ribbreaker. He then went for the Moonsault, landing on his feet when Tatsumi moved out of the way and injuring his knee again. That ended up costing him the match because when he later tried to put on a Figure 4 Leg Lock, Tatsumi turned over to reverse it and he immediately tapped out from the pain.

Fresh off of winning the IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles with Yamashita last week, Kaya Toribami fought Toga in a singles match. She countered the Rock Bottom to roll Toga into position for an Enzuigiri and then once Toga was laid into position, Toribami pinned her with the Sento Choryu.

Chika Nanase worked the show as a ringside attendant but she also joined Rise Shirai for the show opening announcements.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’25” Results

November 9, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’25”, 09/11/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
730 Fans

1. Ryo Mizunami, Rika Tatsumi, Chika Nanase & Ren Konatsu defeated Hyper Misao, Kakeru Sekiguchi, Mahiro Kiryu & Mifu Ashida when Tatsumi pinned Ashida with the Twist Of Fate (14:46).
2. 4 Way Tag Match: Mizuki & Suzume defeated Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro and Raku & Pom Harajuku when Suzume pinned Kazashiro with the Ring A Bell (11:09).
3. Hiroyo Matsumoto & Yuki Arai defeated Yuna Manase & Toga when Matsumoto pinned Toga with the Rock Drop (12:21).
4. MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) defeated Viva Van with the Diving Senton (12:58).
*V5 for Shoko Nakajima.
5. International Princess Title: Arisu Endo (c) defeated Uta Takami with the Camel Clutch (11:15).
*V2 for Arisu Endo.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Mahiro Kiryu defeated Rika Tatsumi (c) with a Title Belt Strike (1:11 pm).
*Mahiro Kiryu becomes the 1,782nd champion.
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) defeated HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki when Uehara pinned Suzuki with the Sushi Tornado (16:38).
*V2 for Ober Eats.
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) defeated J-Rod with the Spinning Tear Drop (12:55).
*V2 for Miu Watanabe.

It’s not often that Miu Watanabe is given a bigger and stronger opponent to fight in Tokyo Joshi Pro but they brought in J-Rod, “The Ultimate Athlete” from America to be that just for her. J-Rod slammed Watanabe around until she found herself getting spun around the ring in the Giant Swing. That cheered Watanabe up into doing a muscle pose but J-Rod Power Bombed that joy out of her. She also hit the Ultimate Spear near the ropes but the time it took to pull Watanabe into the middle of the ring, she was able to recover enough to kick out of the pin. Watanabe countered a second Ultimate Spear into a Power Slam and immediately gave J-Rod the Spinning Tear Drop to get the three count and defend her Princess Of Princess Title. J-Rod looked at the bright side to take the sting out of her defeat. She worked so hard to get a Korakuen Hall main event because she was originally trained in the NJPW Academy by King Haku and his family. She picked up her admiration for Japanese wrestling from them so is very happy to be where she is right now and cannot wait for her next visit.

After the match Watanabe shook off the effects of being slammed by J-Rod and spoke to the fans about wanting to defend the Princess Title many times on the road to next March’s Sumo Hall show. Suzume then entered the ring and congratulated Watanabe on her victory. She said TJPW is the place where you can become whoever you want, like becoming a princess for example. She now wants to shine like Watanabe and has come out to challenge her for the Princess Title! Watanabe was so happy to hear that she started to cry because she thinks she shares many similiarities with Suzume. That then made Suzume start to cry. The two agreed to the match and it will take place at the 4th January Korakuen show!

It was time for Shino Suzuki to stand up for herself against Ober Eats and she was able to get under Wakana Uehara’s skin early. Early in the match Suzuki went into tour guide mode and presented Uehara to the audience as the woman who is going to pass the Princess Tag Team Titles over to Bumping gRitters. Uehara lost her cool and yelled she isn’t giving up the belts before hitting back at Suzuki. Yuki Kamifuku also decided to put her opponents in their place, shouting at them not to underestimate her before she delivered a Double Famouser to the gRitters. Uehara then took over and pinned Suzuki with the Sushi Tornado for a successful title defence. Despite the growing tension brewing between the two teams going into the match, Kamifuku hugged both of her opponents afterwards. Uehara wanted to do the same but Suzuki pushed her away. Backstage Kamifuku spoke highly of HIMAWARI in particular for giving it her all. She said Uehara must have felt like she was on her fourth bowl of curry fighting her. Uehara agreed but added in that she could eat six more. HIMAWARI consoled Suzuki in the meantime and told her they’re not done yet. Suzuki thanked HIMAWARI for teaming with her and her tears are only for today’s frustration. She isn’t going to be broken up over this for long.

By winning the Next Generation Tournament last month Uta Takami made a beeline straight for the International Princess Title held by Arisu Endo. She focused mainly on ways to cradle Endo into pins or attach herself onto her with the Koala Clutch. Endo’s use of Super Kicks and Knee Drops were downgraded when Takami also tried grabbing onto her leg. But Endo found a Breakthrough using the Waterwheel Drop and applied the Camel Clutch to make Takami give up. She describes Takami as being extremely competitive even if her confidence is not always high. She also thinks Takami is good at obeserving how other wrestlers move so she can use that ability to become stronger. As for any future challengers, Endo is feeling invincible right now and can defend the International Princess Title against anybody. Takami said she has definitely grown after her first title match although she isn’t sure what chapter of her story she is at right now. She has a homecoming match coming up soon and even though she won’t go back to Kanazawa as a champion she will be heading over still feeling proud of herself.

More international stakes could be found down the card when Shoko Nakajima had her latest defence of the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title. This time her opponent was Viva Van who was making her return to TJPW for the first time since May (I haven’t paid any attention to if the VPW Women’s Title she won then is still active). The challenger had Nakajima scouted for the most part but when she went to go for the Hellevator, Nakajima escaped and stunned Van with a Hong Kong Spinning Elbow. She then used the Double Arm DDT followed by the Diving Senton to win. She praised Van for being an incredibly versatile wrestler who is capable of anything. She also has a few regrets over losing matches on her recent tour of Mexico so she wants to train more in order to get revenge next time. Van said this isn’t the end because she won’t be giving up. Japan is the start of a world tour she is taking on and she plans on rising to the top!

It is time for another team up between Hiroyo Matsumoto & Yuki Arai. The two of them taking on Hot Shot was also an opportunity for Matsumoto to match up against Yuna Manase while impressing the AKB48 idol Oda Erina over at the commentary table (they knew each other from Tofu Pro Wrestling). Toga was fired up to fight which then made Manase want to take Toga’s Elbow Strike to add extra damage to a Samoan Drop she was giving Matsumoto. Arai came in to give Manase the Scorpion Death Lock while Matsumoto put Toga in a Face Lock. Matsumoto then finished Toga off with the Rock Drop before going over to Erina with Arai to celebrate their victory. They’re now two wins for two as a tag team and already considering whether or not to make the Princess Tag Titles their goal. Toga feels she suffered an even cleaner loss to Matsumoto than she did back at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI”. Manase told her it was important that they never lost their motivation during the match. Given how insular TJPW is, Toga should never take it for granted when she gets to wrestle people from the outside because it is valuable experience that should not go to waste. Hot Shot will debrief over this and do their best to become champions some day.

A rare 4 Way Tag Match was put together promising a lot of chaos in the ring. Raku & Pom Harajuku formed a giant heart with their arms and used it to trap Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami ring around the rosie style. They then led a large Oyasumi Express where all of the other teams stepped over Yamashita & Toribami. Yuki Aino showed off her power by Side Suplexing both Mizuki & Suzume at the same time. She also briefly joined forces with Raku until Raku turned on her. Everything went mad with one wrestler after another fighting each other ending with Mizuki taking out Yamashita with a Spinning Diving Cross Body. With the ring emptied out, Suzume was able to pin Haru Kazashiro with the Ring A Bell. Harajuku called the match a scary dream so she and Raku should wake up and return to the real world for a bit. Aino thought her team were going to win until the very end but they’ve gained experience so next time they should try doing a 5 Way Tag! Yamashita told Toribami that you need to use your head to win multi-team Tag Matches but neither of them can do that. They have a 3 Way Tag coming up at next week’s SETUP tour of Japan and there will be a championship on the line so they cannot afford to lose. They’ll also be touring Thailand soon so they’re going to dominate over there too. Both Mizuki & Suzume had fun teaming with each other because they were able to move so freely together. Suzume said Mizuki always pushes her forward so that match gave her a lot of courage.

The opening 8-Woman Tag Match was missing a participant because Kira Summer caught a fever and had to miss the show on short notice. Rika Tatsumi, Chika Nanase & Ren Konatsu were told that they would be getting a replacement partner but the team showed up to the match without one. Hyper Misao thought that Tetsuya Koda wasn’t able to find anybody so her own team now had the numbers advantage. But when Misao’s team all put Tatsumi’s team in submission holds while Mifu Ashida was cheerleading around them, Tatsumi called out for “X” to help her. Suddenly the super substitute Ryo Mizunami appeared! She performed her full entrance though so the match continued while she was playing up to the fans. Then when she was finally ready, she couldn’t tell Kakeru Sekiguchi and Mahiro Kiryu apart. Tatsumi overcame an accidental strangulation of Mizunami to pin Ashida with the Twist Of Fate. Mizunami pushed her down after the match and Kiryu ran back into the ring to try and win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from Tatsumi but failed when Tatsumi kicked out and ran off.

Then later backstage Tatsumi found who she thought was Kiryu by the stairs. She went over and choked her unconscious only to discover it was actually Sekiguchi she strangled! Kiryu then appeared behind Tatsumi, knocked her out with the Iron Man Title and then pinned her to become the champion again!
