Shivam is a wrestler I’ve written about a lot in the DDT Around The World articles for a good while now whenever a DDT wrestler travelled over to compete on SETUP shows. DDT finally gets to return the favour although wouldn’t Shivam fit in more with DAMNATION T.A rather than against them, given the whole REAL GLOBAL THREAT gimmick?

BASARA “BASARA 319 ~UTAGE AOI – SOUEN~”, 27/10/2026

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

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

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

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

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

October 12, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHION KANZAKI HOMECOMING SHOW ~CHOSHI, ARE YOU AWAKE!!?~”, 12/10/2026
Chiba Inubosaki Hotel Banquet Hall
279 Fans – Super No Vacancy Hull House

1. Next Generation Tournament ’26 – Round 1: Ren Konatsu defeated Momo Sato with the Shoulder Bites (6:58).
2. Mahiro Kiryu & Sakura Hattori defeated Rika Tatsumi & Chieri Sakimori when Hattori pinned Sakimori with the Rakkateicho (10:23).
3. Hyper Misao defeated Mifu Ashida with the Hypami Returns (7:06).
4. Suzume & HIMAWARI defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer when Suzume pinned Summer with the Ring A Bell (11:33).
5. Mizuki, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Yuki Aino, Haru Kazashiro & Chika Nanase when Raku pinned Aino with the Hurricane Turn (11:11).
6. Miyu Yamashita, Wakana Uehara & Toga defeated Yuki Arai, Arisu Endo & Shino Suzuki when Yamashita pinned Suzuki with the Attitude Adjustment (13:02).
7. Shoko Nakajima & Uta Takami defeated Miu Watanabe & Shion Kanzaki when Nakajima pinned Kanzaki with the Northern Lights Suplex (17:34).

Not even a year into her wrestling career and Shion Kanzaki already gets a homecoming show. She was given the main event spot, teaming up with Miu Watanabe. Kanzaki got to apply the Midnight Blues armbar on both Shoko Nakajima & Uta Takami but ultimately fell to Nakajima’s Northern Lights Suplex. After the match Nakajima told Kanzaki she grew up in an amazing place because the big wave and rock formation from the Toei Company opening logo is in the area and Nakajima got to visit it today! Kanzaki got to tell everyone how happy she is to wrestle in the main event against the senpais she admires so much. She promised to keep coming back to her home as a stronger wrestler over and over.

The antics of RakuPom unexpectedly got the better of Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed today. They stopped Yuki Aino from doing a Diving Shoulder Block then climbed up the ropes to her so the Love Triangle could all jump off together. RakuPom both hit diving attacks on Haru Kazashiro at the same time while Aino was in the middle of it unable to do anything. Aino was then stunned when Raku & Pom Harajuku suddenly told her they love her. After that, Raku pinned Aino with the Hurricane Turn. After the match Raku asked why is Aino holding the Princess Tag Team Titles with Kazashiro because she once said she would split the belts three ways with Raku & Harajuku? Kazashiro snapped back and said the belts are part of the love between her and Aino. She wanted Aino to explain what’s going on then decided Prism Greed will defend the Princess Tag Titles against RakuPom on 8th November. Not only will the tag titles be on the line but so too will Aino’s love!

The fourth annual Next Generation Tournament began with Ren Konatsu submitting Momo Sato with the Shoulder Bites. With it being a double elimiation tournament, Konatsu just has to win one more match to reach the final while Sato now has to climb up from the bottom without losing again. Konatsu said she has her sights set on winning the tournament and plans to win her next match in a decisive manner. Sato has to deal with her frustration from losing today and do her best in the next round.

As homecoming shows go in Tokyo Joshi Pro, today was one of the bigger experiments. TJPW collaborated with the Choshi Electric Railway to have a special train journey bringing fans from Choshi Station to Inuboh Station. Raku and Shino Suzuki were both on board the train as special guest conductors. Raku got to stamp tickets and give train trivia while Suzuki provided sightseeing commentary throughout the ride. Raku said her time there was like a dream while Suzuki thought it was fun to be a tour guide again after such a long time.

*V1 for Shoko Nakajima.
8. EVE International Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) defeated Arisu Endo with the Skull Kick (10:31).
*V2 for Miyu Yamashita.
9. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) when Aino submitted Tatsumi with the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire Z (19:58).
*Daydream fails in V3. Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed become the 22nd Princess Tag Team Champions!
10. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) defeated Suzume with the Finally (21:51).
*V5 for Yuki Arai.

The bee has been kicked down to the ground. Yuki Arai continues her Princess Of Princess Title reign with a clean victory over Suzume, the current International Princess Champion. Suzume’s big moves to try and unseat the Princess Champ included a Flying Facebuster from the ring apron to the floor, the Hachinosu Eight Knot submission hold and Ring A Bell. When all of those failed, she resorted to Rolling Cradles but couldn’t pin Arai with them. Arai tried to submit Suzume with the Scorpion Death Lock but Suzume fought her way to grab a rope break. Eventually Arai got to throw Suzume down with the Full Nelson Buster and hit the Finally kick to get the victory and her fifth successful title defence.

Arai called Suzume a genuinely scary wrestler and she learned so many new sides to her through their matches together in the last few weeks. She’s happy to have somebody the same age as her become her rival. When Suzume left the ring, Shoko Nakajima got in and demanded Arai face her next so she can win the Princess Title from her. Arai remembers losing to Nakajima in the Tokyo Princess Cup so she accepted her challenge for 8th November. She raised the title high above Nakajima’s head, causing Nakajima to storm off. Arai then said she has gotten so big as champion she will go take down the Big Kaiju next! Meanwhile, Suzume backstage said she is now going to make the International Princess Title shine just as brightly as the Princess Title so Arai will want to fight her for it next time.

Today was the rude awakening that Daydream feared was coming. They lost the Princess Tag Team Titles to Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro! The lead up to the match had the champs bickering with each other like an old couple but they got back on the same page in time to take the title match seriously. However Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed were on great form as a team too and were constantly rescuing each other from harm’s way or cutting off the other team from doing the same. The gameplan worked out as Kazashiro trapped Miu Watanabe in the Izayoi hold on the ring apron while Aino made Rika Tatsumi submit to the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire Z. This now makes Aino a three time tag champion with a different tag partner every time. She said she isn’t surprised by the result because her team kept on believing in themselves. Kazashiro thinks it took more than luck to win because she chose this path with Aino and it was meant to be. She also dyed part of her hair from blue to red in order to show off her fighting spirit. Daydream cannot believe they lost the titles way before they could break the record for most defences. Watanabe feels like she’s woken up from a dream while Tatsumi swears it does not change that Daydream is the best team out there.

Let’s face it, the result of this was never in doubt. Especially since around 12 hours before this match happened, EVE announced Miyu Yamashita’s next appearance in England to defend the EVE International Title against Marina Shafir. Anyway, Yamashita successfully defended the belt here against Arisu Endo, knocking down her scrappy opponent with a running Skull Kick. The move didn’t come out of nowhere either. Endo went to do the Ju no Okite but Yamashita landed on her feet and flipped Endo upside down to give her the Wheelbarrow German Suplex instead. Endo kicked out of the Buzzsaw Kick and hit a Thrust Kick but that was what set up the Skull Kick finish. Yamashita said she anticipated Endo’s moves this time and had a built-in strategy ready for them, which is unusual for her to do. However that strategy went out the window when Endo got the first attack in so Yamashita fought the rest of the match just through sheer determination. Endo thinks getting to fight Yamashita for a title is proof that she’s gotten stronger. She also wants to speak up about everything she wants to do and turn her path into the most colorful journey imaginable.

Nakajima now has a chance of becoming a double singles champion because earlier in the show she retained the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title against the returning Zara Zakher. Nakajima did a Topé Suicida only for Zakher to fight fire with fire and immediately do the same move when Nakajima threw her back into the ring. Zakher then made the same mistake of rolling Nakajima back in so Nakajima could immediately hit her with a Topé Con Giro. Back in the ring Nakajima avoided the Control Z by landing on her feet and then got Zakher into the Locomotive Northern Lights Suplex to score her first defence of the All Asia Women’s Title. Nakajima said when she won this title in Thailand the cheers of the fans there left her with a wonderful memory so she wants to make this title the best it can possibly be. Zakher calls Tokyo Joshi Pro her home away from home and if the fans want her to be here, they just have to say it to TJPW.

It is a crazy enough sight to have Jushin Liger stand in a TJPW ring wearing a referee shirt. The craziness is amped up even more when the match he had to officiate was Hyper Misao against Mizuki. Before the match began, Misao told Liger that she is a superhero and the most honorable wrestler in TJPW while Mizuki is a bad person with a pitch black heart. Liger wanted to call the match fair and square, which meant he stopped Mizuki from using her Pico Pico Hammer as a weapon. Misao tried to do the Romero Special in front of Liger but couldn’t pull it off. Outside the ring Misao got on the Hypami Go but ran over Mahiro Kiryu with it after Mizuki got out of the way. Misao then tried to trap Mizuki in the ring apron but she escaped and hit under the ring while Misao unknowingly rolled up Liger into the corner post inside the apron. Mizuki then successfully lured Misao into crashing the Hypami-Go into Liger! More mishaps happened in the ring when Liger accidentally got sprayed in the eyes by Misao. Mizuki then missed the Pico Pico Hammer swing and hit Liger by mistake. She was able to frame Misao for it by passing the hammer to her so Liger saw Misao with hit. Misao complained that Liger wasn’t officiating the match properly so he hit her with the Palm Strike and put her in the Romero Special. Mizuki climbed the top rope to do the Diving Foot Stomp onto Misao while she was in the hold and Liger counted the pinfall. Liger said it’s been a while since he moved this much in the ring so he was impressed by the styles Misao and Mizuki showed off. He admitted he wanted to steal the show by doing the Romero Special but didn’t expect Mizuki to have the quick thinking to do a Double Stomp onto that and steal the spotlight for herself. Liger wouldn’t mind coming back to watch or even officiate TJPW matches more regularly.

Today was the last time VENYU would team up together and they got to right a wrong from the past. They’ve never won a tag match together in Ota Ward Gymnasium until today! They were joined by two members of O-MENZ for their entrance and then went on to beat Wakana Uehara & Toga. For once Toga got to experience what it’s like to be on the other side of a deadly Elbow Strike when VENY knocked her down with a loud one early in the match. Uehara tried her hardest to try and make Yuki Kamifuku submit to the Banana Pillow but a long struggle ended with Kamiyu getting the rope break. VENYU used the Magic Killer on Toga to get rid of her and Kamifuku went on to pin Uehara with the Diving Famouser. Kamifuku said she went into the match with the mindset that she absolutely won’t lose. It turned out the plan worked. VENY will keep that mindset for any future matches in TJPW. Uehara is coming to terms that this may actually be her last big match with Kamifuku before Kamifuku’s retirement at the end of the year. She’s going to cherish everything Kamiyu said to her in the ring today and move on forward.

O-MENZ were also involved in a big entrance for Match #4. They all danced for the combined entrance of Aja Kong, Sakura Hattori & Kumadori. Then for an added bonus Kong and Hattori joined the dance routine inside the ring! Meanwhile Kira Summer & Chika Nanase were there to learn from Chris Brookes. Summer took after him by mocking Hattori’s ninja posing. She also got to knock down Kong with a Shoulder Block after stomping on Kong’s foot to tip her off balance. Summer & Nanase were able to double team on Nanase but couldn’t do the same to Kong. She Back Suplexed Brookes away and then Double Shoulder Blocked the other two. Summer was able to delay Kong from using the steel can so she ended up hitting Hattori by mistake instead of Nanae. But Hattori survived a 2nd rope Diving Elbow from Nanase thanks to a rope break. Hattori fought out of Nanase’s finisher to stun her with an Enzuigiri and then hit the Sento Choryu for the pin while Kumadori held Brookes back from breaking it up. Kong joked her biggest challenge today was to not screw up the entance dance. Even though Brookes and his team lost he said he would like to team up with Summer & Nanase again. They can all go to DDT and fight for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles as the trio of “Normal Legs”, “Slightly Short Legs” and “Super Short Legs”.

The 3 Way Tag Match went ahead with no tag rules attached and the bottom rope loosened up in order for the mascots to get into the ring easier. Tama brought a kitchen knife to the ring but agreed to hand it over to Yukinori Matsui before the match began. It then got into a three way strike off with Pokotan and Minimo that ended in a stalemate. Pom Harajuku brought out a piece of merchandise that is a towel of both Tama and Tojojo then stomped on it to taunt Kiryu. Tama got its knife back but wasn’t eager to tag in when Kiryu needed its help. The other teams instead dragged Tama into the ring and attacked it until Kiryu tried to stop them. Finally Tama stepped in to Clothesline everyone. Kiryu held onto Raku for Tama to charge in but Raku moved and Tama instead stabbed Kiryu! Harajuku then pulled off Pokotan’s head and placed it over Raku only for Raku to use it for a Headbutt. Pokotan got its head back but Raku used the Doctor Yellow to twist it around before using the same move on Harajuku to get the win. She celebrated by dancing with Minimo in the ring.

The debut of Chieri Sakimori took place in Match #2 as part of a 6-Woman Tag Match. She started off fighting Shino Suzuki and Suzuki got to show her a “tour” of the arena while applying a Headlock. HIMAWARI carried Mifu Ashida on her shoulders to charge at the other team only for them to get out of the way. The two still got their hands on Momo Sato and made it a struggle for her to tag out. Shion Kanzaki focused on using her Side Armlock move which is now called the Midnight Blues. Most of Sakimori’s ring time was spent fighting HIMAWARI where she got a nearfall with a Cross Body Block. HIMAWARI got the better of her in the end by applying an elevated version of the Half Crab Hold for the submission victory. Sakimori felt she was able to go all out for her first match and showed what she is capable of. Sato is happy to already have her first junior below her and Kanzaki is confident the 2026 Class will build a great relationship together. When asked if there are any TJPW wrestlers she looks up to, Sakimori said she wants to be dazziling like Kamifuku and Uehara.

For the opening match both Uta Takami and Ren Konatsu were brought down to the ring on moving carts so they could wave to the crowd on the way to the ring. Only Arai got to use the same cart at the very end of the show. In the match itself, Konatsu got to slow down Takami enough to hit the Aries Comet and apply the Shoulder bite. Takami got out of it with a rope break and hit her own Missile Dropkick to Konatsu. She then applied the Koala Clutch, forcing Konatsu to collapse and submit. Konatsu was hoping to win before the Next Generation Tournament begins next week but she will just have to channel her frustration into that instead. Takami believes the opening match of the show is crucial and was happy the company left it to her to pull it off today.

After intermission had finished, Rise Shirai introduced everyone to Shiori Futaba from the idol group Congrazie! Futaba will be making her pro wrestling debut on 8th November. She promised everyone she will give it her all and show off her cool side in the ring.


Next Generation Tournament ’26

September 30, 2026

The fourth annual Next Generation Tournament is open to the members of Tokyo Joshi Pro who have debuted in 2025 or 2026. That means the field is made up of four wrestlers: Ren Konatsu, Shion Kanzaki, Momo Sato and the yet to debut Chieri Sakimori. Just like last year it will be a Double Elimination tournament so wrestlers would have to lose two matches in order to be knocked out of the running. The schedule is laid out for a final to take place where one wrestler only needs to win once while their opponent would have to beat them twice.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW FALL TOUR ~RAY OF HOPE IN TAKASAKI~”, 23/09/2026
Gunma G-Messe Main Hall BC
297 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Wakana Uehara defeated Shion Kanzaki with the Banana Pillow (8:24).
2. Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Hyper Misao & Ren Konatsu when Raku pinned Konatsu with the Doctor Yellow (9:36).
3. Mizuki defeated Momo Sato with the Southern Cross (7:52).
4. 3 Way Match: Shoko Nakajima defeated Arisu Endo and Shino Suzuki when Nakajima pinned Suzuki with an Inverted Hurricanrana (8:08).
5. Yuki Aino, Haru Kazashiro & Uta Takami defeated Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Kira Summer when Aino pinned Summer with the Venus DDT (12:27).
6. Yuki Arai, HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida defeated Suzume, Toga & Chika Nanase when Arai submitted Nanase with the Scorpion Death Lock (15:04).
7. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Miyu Yamashita & Sakura Hattori when Kiryu pinned Hattori with the Spinebuster (12:51).

This year’s show in Gunma made Mahiro Kiryu more emotional than it usually would. It is not only her homecoming show but was the last time she and Yuki Kamifuku were teaming up together in the area as the Toyo Mates before Kamifuku retires at the end of the year. During the main event Kiryu tried to do her Dogeza Knee Drop onto Miyu Yamashita but Yamashita started to power herself out of it. Kamiyu stopped that by poking Yamashita in the eye and then she knelt onto Sakura Hattori so she could join in on the apology. Kiryu apologised to everyone for all of the times Kamiyu blinded her opponents over the last nine years. Kamifuku saved Kiryu from taking a German Suplex from Yamashita and the two got rid of Yamashita with a Wheelbarrow/Famouser combo. Kiryu was then able to beat Hattori by herself giving Toyo Mates something of an upset win over K!SS//.

After the match Kiryu talked about how she and Kamifuku are the same age and went to Toyo University at the same time but were complete strangers to each other until they met through Tokyo Joshi Pro. Now that this match is over it’s finally hitting Kiryu that Kamifuku is retiring soon. Kamifuku said when she was looking for a tag team partner she wanted a beautiful and stylish older sister type like her first tag partner Yuna Manase. She thought Kiryu was ordinary, plain and had no standout qualities but seeing her today full of confidence and proudly fighting a main event match in front of her hometown is so cool! Kamifuku can now graduate from TJPW with peace of mind knowing that Kiryu has become a cool and tough wrestler.

Yuki Arai won another prelim match against Suzume, making Chika Nanase tap out to the Scorpion Death Lock while Mifu Ashida held Suzume back from breaking the hold. Arai can feel the momentum building up behind her but she expects Suzume to kick things up a notch for the remaining matches before “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII”. Arai is now thinking she might hold a side of herself Suzume hasn’t seen yet back until then. Suzume said watching Arai win the match right in front of her has lit a fire inside as she gathers clues on how to beat her. By the time they fight for the Princess Of Princess Title, Suzume is sure she will win it.

The arguments haven’t stopped between Miu Watanabe and Rika Tatsumi. They were bickering over who should start the match today which allowed the other team to get the jump on them. Poor Kira Summer found herself in the middle of Daydream’s problems their attempts to help her out only made things worse. Daydream seemed to finally get on the same page when they both did Backbreakers to Haru Kazashiro & Uta Takami but Tatsumi then complained that the move hurt her too and she started arguing with Watanabe again. Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed took advantage and picked their opponents apart until Yuki Aino pinned Summer with the Venus DDT. Tatsumi chose to help Summer back after the match while Watanabe kept her distance away from her partner. Backstage Daydream apologized to each other but neither were happy with the other’s apology so they stormed off in separate directions while Summer didn’t know what to do.

When Hyper Misao mentioned that she loves the mascot Gunma-chan during her pre-match speech, Pom Harajuku told her that Gunma-chan was here at the show today! It turned out to be Raku wearing a paper Gunma-chan mask. Misao & Ren Konatsu didn’t fall for the trick but Harajuku joined in the fun by wearing a rubber horse mask to fit in with Raku.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “HYPE! 4 ~PRAYER PLAYER~” Results

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “HYPE! 4 ~PRAYER PLAYER~”, 15/09/2026
Tokyo Kitazawa Town Hall
237 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Special Single Match: Miyu Yamashita defeated Chika Nanase with the Skull Kick (11:31).

We once more enter into the mind of Hyper Misao for the latest episode of her creative endeavor “HYPE!”. This is the fourth year in a row the show has taken place and it wasted little time in highlighting who the main character was going to be this time. The story begins with Chika Nanase training by herself during a night at Kanda Myojin in Tokyo. After finishing her prayer at the shrine, she found Misao’s mask on the ground in front of her. Next thing she knows, she is pulled into another world. Instead of Kanda Myojin, Nanase is now in a realm called Can Do Myojin!

Nanase suddenly found herself inside a ring wearing the kind of uniform worn by a delinquent biker. Before she could figure out what happened she was approached by a woman named Shino-sen (Shino Suzuki), a teacher from the Private Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling Academy. Shino-sen wanted to remind “Chika Nanakuse” that fighting is prohibited in the Academy and it was time to get back to the premises. However when the two tried to exit the ring, an invisible forcefield prevented them from leaving.

With Chika and Shino stuck inside the ring, a maid suddenly walked in and began to communicate with them by using the translation feature on her phone. She introduced herself as Autumn (Kira Summer), the guide of Can Do Myojin. This place is a shrine dedicated to the Goddesses Of Pro Wrestling and is regarded as an urban legend because most people could never find it. Among those who have come across the shrine, very few of them have actually gotten to meet any of the Goddesses in person. Chika began to panic thinking she would be trapped here and never return to her world. Shino figured that they must go find the Goddesses because only they would know the way out.

Autumn lead the group towards a nearby club where they could hear music coming from inside. There they found a pair of dancers who were hyping up the crowd with a party atmosphere. They are the Goddesses Of Pro Wrestling Entrance (Yuki Kamifuku & Rika Tatsumi)! According to the Goddesses, the entrance is 90% of what makes pro wrestling important. If you can master the entrance then you can master the match! Chika asked them how she could get home but they mistook her for a chauffeur and ordered her to go get some high end sushi from Ginza before carrying the two of them home. Shino stepped up for Chika and challenged the Goddesses to a Pro Wrestling God Battle then pretty much beat them all by herself! The Goddesses bestowed a feathered boa to Chika as a lucky charm but then admitted they do not know how she can leave the shrine. They also revealed something very dangerous about Can Do Myojin. If a human being loses a wrestling match in this place, they get erased from existence!

A pair of idols then entered the ring and together they sang the song “Samishii Nettaigyo”. They then left when they were finished. Autumn told the others that the idols are also Goddesses so they all snuck backstage to go speak to them. They found them relaxing in their dressing room, speaking to each with thick country accents while eating their favorite snacks. It turns out they are Wing, the Goddesses Of Pro Wrestling Gap (Raku & Ren Konatsu) who represent the differences between a wrestler’s in-ring persona and their normal everyday self. Chika admits this is something she doesn’t have in her wrestling career so the Goddesses decided to tie her up in a chair and study for a quiz so she can learn how to market herself better. Shino came to rescue Chika again and the two defeated the idols in another Pro Wrestling God Battle. The Goddesses handed over their spray can to Chika as another lucky charm along with a map. They do not know how Chika can get home but they think there is somebody nearby on the map who does know the answer.

The revving of motorbike engines could be heard in the distance where Kudo Toka (Toga) and her gang of delinquents (Haru Kazashiro & Uta Takami) gathered together for a performance of “Arashi no Sugao”. It turns out Toka recently is suffering from a broken heart and the sudden sight of Chika wearing a biker uniform convinced her that Chika was her ex-partner’s new flame! Things were about to kick off between Chika and Toka when a voice suddenly told them to hold on a minute. Good news, “One Night Carnival” began to play. Bad news, Yuko Miyamoto is not part of the story so the song wasn’t for him. Instead it was for the legendary pro wrestling gang boss Kojisho Kiryu (Mahiro Kiryu)! Toka then started an argument, accusing Kojisho of dumping her to go visit a woman named Akemi. Kojisho tried to explain that Akemi is the name of his grandmother and he gave Toka a big kiss to prove he still loves her. That wasn’t enough to smooth things over so Shino stepped in to slap some sense into the couple. It turns out that Kojisho and Toka are the Goddesses Of Pro Wrestling Trust. They thanked Chika and her crew for helping their relationship and rewarded them with the most divine lucky charm of them all, a barbed wire baseball bat! Unfortunately they don’t know how Chika can leave Can Do Myojin but Kojisho can take them on a bike ride over to meet the Goddess who can help them.

Just when it looked like progress had been made and their destination was right in front of them, betrayal struck when Autumn suddenly attacked Shino with the lucky charms. She revealed that she is not a maid from the shrine but is actually Kira Summer for real! She fell into this world before Nanase did and wanted the Goddesses to grant her a wish. Only one wish can come true so Kira was using Chika and Shino the entire time in order to bring her here. Chika was able to grab the barbed wire bat away from Kira and told her she doesn’t like to use weapons like this. Kira grabbed the bat back but couldn’t bring herself to hit Chika with it. The two embraced each other and agreed to find their way home so they can wrestle together again.

That didn’t impress Shino though. She had recovered from Kira’s ambush and made fun of her for letting go of her opportunity when it finally appeared in front of her. She then told Chika that her acting like a true friend was boring because when it comes to pro wrestling, only one person can win in the end. You can’t get by from being nice and that’s probably why Chika can’t get any stronger. It was time for Shino to transform and reveal who she really is. There was never a Shino-sen from the Private Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling Academy to begin with. This whole time she was the supreme Goddess Of Pro Wrestling (Mizuki) in disguise! She had some spare time and was feeling bored so she decided to tease the human wrestler that suddenly appeared in her shrine. She also doesn’t appreciate that Kira lied about being a maid here so she deserved to be punished. A Pro Wrestling God Battle took place pitting Chika & Kira against the Goddess’ fox spirits Hasuke (Haru Kazashiro) & Ukaku (Uta Takami). Chika & Kira fought them off but were outmatched when the Goddess herself entered the fray. She jumped off the top rope to strike Kira with her parasol but Chika jumped in the way, sacrificing herself to save her friend.

The Goddess pinned Chika for the three count and Chika accepted her fate to be erased from existence. However Chika woke up to find just herself and the Goddess in the ring together. The Goddess explained she misunderstood the rule about losing matches in Can Do Myojin. A human does not get erased from existence when they lose. In fact, losing the match is how they return home to their own world! Before she can leave though, Nanase would be granted a wish by the Goddess. Nanase said she has always struggled with expressing her emotions to others. When she was in school she could never speak her mind and even though she tried not to ruin people’s moods, she knew they would badmouth her behind her back. By the time she was in junior high she got used to it and just expected that’s what the rest of her life would be. But then she discovered pro wrestling and everything that was cool about it. Seeing people regardless of their gender clash with everything they have to convey their feelings made her believe she can do what she wants to do too. She found TJPW and was drawn to how the promotion had no factions or face/heel divide. Instead the wrestlers would fight each other with mutual respect and love from the moment the bell rang. She signed up to be a rookie, made her debut and now she is a wrestler. She may never be fully comfortable with herself but she is grateful to her past self for making the decision to join the company. Her wish is to continue wrestling in this ring and walk the same path with everyone in TJPW. The Goddess (or probably Mizuki herself at this point) said she never knew that Chika felt this way but there are many others here who feel just like Chika does. She told Chika to rely on others more and trust them. There will come a time when she has to face herself on a deeper level but when they going gets tough, she should be able to ask the others for help. The Goddess always thought Chika was a goofball so she came up with an idea for her to fight the ultimate goofball when she gets back to her home…

Nanase woke up and found herself back outside the Kanda Myojin shrine and saw that Hyper Misao was approaching her. Misao was there to ask if Nanase would like to take the lead role for “HYPE! 4”? She said yes without hesitation and the show went right back to the beginning. This time we are inside Kitazawa Town Hall for real as Chika Nanase was now about to fight Miyu Yamashita in a first time ever singles bout between the two! Nanase was able to put up a spirited fight and dodged the Return Crash to hit Yamashita with the John Woo Dropkick. She then tried hitting Yamashita with as many Elbow Strikes as she could, finally hitting her enough times to knock her down. She couldn’t lock in the Inari Torii though and Yamashita almost knocked her out with a High Kick. Both women fired each other up to fight even harder until Yamashita ended the match with the Skull Kick.

After the match Yamashita got on the microphone and said today was the first time she looked into Nanase’s eyes and she could feel her heart start racing from the tension. Just like Mizuki earlier, today was the first time Yamashita learned about Nanase’s true feelings. Yamashita has loved TJPW for 13 years and fighting here is what makes her so strong. Today’s match with Nanase reminded her all over again how glad she is that she gets to keep stepping into the ring. She loves Nanase’s straightforward nature and kindness to others. She doesn’t have to be perfect, lord knows Yamashita certainly isn’t, but she can embrace her flaws while believing in herself and have confidence in who she is. Nanase thanked Yamashita for the match. She described it as incredibly painful, agonizing and terrifying but the joy in competing inspires her to keep going. She is overjoyed to live her life alongside everyone in TJPW while doing the pro wrestling she loves. She hopes everyone will continue to support her.

Hyper Misao then appeared in her Producer form. She congratulated Nanase on a great job then asked the “Victims Support Group” rest of the cast for their thoughts on the show. Yuki Kamifuku said this was her first time acting in anything and even though her lines were short it was still nerve wracking for her. But she sees this show as an important stop on her road to retirement and she made some incredible memories out of it. Shino Suzuki didn’t realize just how many lines she had to learn this time but by the end of the show it made her glad she is a part of TJPW. Mizuki said one of her parts in the script was simply labelled “Free” and she didn’t understand what it meant. It was for her speech to Nanase and she believes what she said in that scene is exactly what Misao and others would have wanted to say too.

Nanase got to talk about how she only played bit roles in the two previous “HYPE!” shows so when she was approached for this leading role, she was happy to be doing more than play an izakaya employee. She didn’t understand why she got the role but when Mizuki gave her speech, she realised shw was chosen because the role was specifically for her. Misao revealed that she hadn’t planned to do a “HYPE!” show this year but Tetsuya Koda went ahead and booked one without asking her. She felt last year’s show was a disaster leading up to it because the script was only finished three days before it took place. This time she had no choice but to do it and Nanase came to mind as the choice for the lead role. She realised she didn’t know much about Nanase at all and that made her want to learn who Nanase is even more. She thinks “HYPE! 4” is a success all because it was about Nanase. Now that it’s over, everyone close out the show by shouting the catchphrase “I get HYPE! We get HYPE!”

7. Suzume, Arisu Endo & Shino Suzuki defeated Yuki Arai, Wakana Uehara & Mifu Ashida when Suzume pinned Ashida with the Ring A Bell (13:49).

During the main event, Mifu Ashida and Shino Suzuki faced off, pom poms versus tour flag. When they collided Suzuki was left with a broken flag that left her in anguish. Suzume & Arisu Endo helped her get some revenge by grabbing Ashida and getting Suzuki to triple team her. Yuki Arai had Suzume scouted by countering the Ring A Bell into the Full Nelson Buster. However she & Wakana Uehara were taken out by Endo & Suzuki. Then when it all came down to Suzume against Ashida, Suzume got the win by giving her the Ring A Bell. After the match Suzume praised Suzuki for not giving up when her flag got broken. Backstage both Endo & Suzuki gave advice for Suzume to beat Arai. Endo warned her not to move around too much or else her legs could get tangled up. Suzuki said Arai is really into squishy toys right now so Suzume plays with one in front of her it will distract her. Suzume found neither piece of advice to be helpful. Ashida is becoming worried that she is holding Arai back because she is the one losing their tag matches. However Ashida & Uehara told Arai they can be her cheering group while she prepares to defend the Princess Of Princess Title against Suzume next month. The three of them together can become Kyoto x Cheer Tag!

Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed came out on top of the 3 Way Match to become the No. 1 Contenders for the Princess Tag Team Titles. They found K!SS// to be the stronger of the two opposing teams but HIMAWARI & Toga were enough of a wild card to keep the other teams on their toes. It got to the point where the third party would always cut someone off from winning the match. Yuki Aino finally found the breakthrough by diving onto Miyu Yamshita & Sakura Hattori outside the ring. She then threw Hattori back in for Kazashiro to give her the Fisherman Buster but HIMAWARI broke the pin. From there Prism Greed fought off HIMAWARI & Toga, leading to Aino & Kazashiro giving HIMAWARI the Updraft!! Overdrive for the victory.

After the match, Daydream climbed into the ring to meet their next challengers. Prism Greed said they are at their absolute best right now but Rika Tatsumi’s response was Daydream is also super motivated. They’re motivated enough that they could fight Prism Greed right now! However, Tatsumi would rather build up excitement for the title match. Miu Watanabe agreed and cannot wait for it to happen on 3rd October. Backstage Kazashiro talked about the overwhelming experience she’s gained since the team last challenged for the titles back in January. Meanwhile Daydream are describing them like a couple that’s just started dating while they themselves are like an old married couple nowadays. K!SS// are frustrated that they haven’t gotten close to the Princess Tag Titles yet but they won’t give up on their goal. Toga thought she & HIMAWARI did pretty well because they aren’t a regular tag team like the others. They’ll continue to work hard together and may even team up again in the future, especially if it means Toga no longer gets hit by HIMAWARI’s Hair Whips.

Raku wanted to give a gift to Yuki Kamifuku at the start of their match. She held a bag and told Kamifuku that inside it was a jacket identical to the one she was wearing right now. Kamiyu took a look inside and Raku suddenly pulled the bag over her head and then Cradled her for a nearfall! Kamiyu got her own back by giving Raku a Double Eyepoke afterwards. Raku later took her own jacket and put it on Kamifuku. It felt so comfy that Kamifuku started feeling sleepy. She was thrown out of the ring and started to take a nap on the floor so Raku dragged her up to the entrance. Raku then told the ref to silently count up to 20 so she could win by count out. The plan was working until Rise Shirai announced on the microphone that the count reached 10, immediately waking Kamifuku up. She got back in the ring to beat Raku up and win the match.

The next “HYPE!” show is coming up soon and Hyper Misao still hasn’t finished her script yet, as usual. She brought her laptop to the ring and told her opponents she was withdrawing from the 3 Way Match so she could make progress with her work. Ren Konatsu didn’t believe her and attacked her from behind to start the match. Chika Nanase joined in and the two stomped away while Misao tried to protect her laptop. Misao had no choice but to wrestle the match. Konatsu grabbed the laptop and threatened to break it until Misao warned her that she’d be responsible for “HYPE! 4” not got going ahead. Konatsu got scared so she handed the laptop to Nanase who then safely gave it over to Fumirin. When Fumirin turned her back to find a place to put down the laptop, Misao sprayed both of her opponents in their faces. She asked Fumirin to hand her back the laptop and then pinned Konatsu with La Magistral Cradle.

There was an announcement of Tokyo Joshi Pro doing a special collaboration with the Choshi Electric Railway for Shion Kanzaki’s homecoming show on 12th October. There will be a train departing from Choshi Station at lunchtime and Raku will serve as the special conductor for the final stretch of the route as the train approaches the nearest station to the show’s venue. Shino Suzuki will also be in charge of the in-train announcements. Keep in mind this is not a train journey exclusive for people going to the show. The regular public will still be on board too!

5. HIMAWARI & Toga defeated Uta Takami & Ren Konatsu when HIMAWARI submitted Konatsu with the Single Leg Crab Hold (13:37).

Today’s Tokyo Joshi Pro show exclusively featured wrestlers who debuted from 2023 onwards. For HIMAWARI & Toga it gave them some valuable preparation time as they aim to become No. 1 Contenders for the Princess Tag Team Titles. The main event went well for them. Toga grabbed Uta Takami in the Muffler Hold and HIMAWARI capitalised on Ren Konatsu missing the Aries Comet by making her give up to the Half Crab Hold. Toga talked about how happy she was to do this show because the young TJPW wrestlers got to work together to improve instead of trying to follow in the footsteps of their senpais. HIMAWARI promised that the young wrestlers will work even harder to make TJPW even more exciting.

Backstage HIMAWARI & Toga admitted to each other that they can’t really call themselves juniors anymore since they’re going to enter their fourth year as wrestlers soon. They’re ready for the upcoming No. 1 Contenders match and are counting on it being a 3 Way Tag to score themselves the upset victory. HIMAWARI has been in a lot of 3 Way matches and will use that experience to win. Toga pointed out they have each other to rely on as allies while 3 Way singles matches usually just have enemies.

8. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: Suzume defeated Rika Tatsumi with the Spring Ring A Bell (20:46).

This year’s winner of the Tokyo Princess Cup is someone who is also on track to becoming the queen bee of Tokyo Joshi Pro! All it took was for Suzume to surpass the very person who inspired her to become a pro wrestler in the first place. She faced Rika Tatsumi in the final with both women fighting to win the tournament for the first time. Tatsumi used the fan streamers to her advantage by wrapping them all over Suzume, throwing her into the front row and then jumping into her with a Hip Attack. She then targeted Suzume’s legs in an effort to put a stop to any comebacks. Suzume fought off the persistant Hip Attacks and Choke Holds to catch Tatsumi with a counter attack. There was almost a double knockout when Tatsumi did the Twist Of Fate only for Suzume to hit back with a last ditch Ring A Bell. Tatsumi caught another Ring A Bell to turn it into the Dragon Sleeper but Suzume was able to eventually roll out of it. She then gave Tatsumi a taste of her own medicine by grabbing her neck to choke her! Tatsumi overpowered it and tried to put Suzume in a Sleeper Hold until Suzume used the ropes to bounce herself free and then launch herself into the Spring Ring A Bell for the three count!

After the match Suzume said she became stronger because she admires how much Tatsumi lives her life to the fullest. Today they got to fight each other with all of their might and Suzume couldn’t be happier. She remembers when Tatsumi would call her her arch-nemesis and she is now never going to let that go. Tatsumi gave Suzume a cheeky poke to the head and then hugged her before leaving the ring. Next, Suzume said she has now conquered the hot summer and won’t be stopping there. She called out Yuki Arai to challenge her for the Princess Of Princess Title! She thought Arai is the person who is shining the brightest in TJPW but after today Suzume thinks she can shine even brighter! She is still going to defend her International Princess Title in the meantime but she also wants to fight Arai for the Princess Title too! Arai said she wants to fight Suzume so she can also pour out her love for TJPW. She will give her the title shot at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII” on 3rd October! Suzume ended the show by telling everyone the day after tomorrow will be the 7th Anniversary of her debut. Before she became a pro wrestler she thought the only dreams she could hold onto were those she had when she was a child. But TJPW has taught her she can have as many dreams as she wants at any age! Meanwhile Tatsumi backstage complained about working so hard this summer that she should be rewarded for it with a raise in salary plus other special bonuses from the company.

Hiroyo Matsumoto was one of the guests paying a visit to TJPW today. Next month she is going to team up with Miyu Yamashita at a “TAKAYAMANIA” show but today they were on opposite sides of the semi-main event tag match. Matsumoto also used this time to get a feel for Yuki Arai, taunting the champion to give her her best shot. Matsumoto would later do her part in holding back Yamashita, lifting her up into a Torture Rack while Shoko Nakajima tried to finish off Arai. But Arai dodged the 619 and threw down Nakajima with the Full Nelson Buster. She then put Nakajima in the Scorpion Death Lock and used all of her strength to make Nakajima tap out to the move. Arai said she is going to sleep well tonight because she avenged her loss to Nakajima in the tournament. As for fighting Matsumoto again, Arai thinks that is kind of a scary idea but she would like to fight her again and again to grow strong enough to beat her. Nakajima was disappointed because she considers Matsumoto to be a pioneer for kaiju wrestlers and Nakajima ended up becoming a punching bag like Anguirus in front of “Lady Godzilla”. Matsumoto admitted she doesn’t know a lot about Anguirus and promised to look it up for Nakajima.

There’s no official name yet for Mizuki, Mei Suruga & Uta Takami but the report on the TJPW website refers to them as The KAWAII Trio so let’s go with that for now. They were all a handful for their opponents. Takami accidentally snapped off Ren Konatsu’s toy sheep then annoyed her even more when she said she didn’t want it in the first place. Suruga stopped Miu Watanabe from giving Takami the Giant Swing and copied her ponytail pose. She then tried to do the Apple Mutilation on Watanabe but Watanabe powered out of it and gave her the Giant Swing instead. Arisu Endo went on a roll against Takami & Mizuki then helped Watanabe set Mizuki up for Konatsu’s Aries Comet. A scramble led to Mizuki taking out Watanabe with the Whirling Candy and then joining Takami in double teaming Konatsu until the Cutie Special ended the match.

Kira Summer spent the last month back in her home country of Australia and now has to catch up with her contemporaries in her first match back in TJPW. HIMAWARI greeted her with Hair Whips while Toga welcomed her back with Body Slams. Chika Nanase tried to even the playing field but ultimately failed. Her effort in avoiding the Absolute Zero was rewarded with an Elbow Smash from Toga that knocked her down. Toga then submitted her with the Muffler Hold that almost bent her over backwards.

For her debut in TJPW, Sumire Natsu told Yuki Kamifuku that she came here wanting to be treated like a serious wrestler. She then immediately contradicted herself by avoiding the opening lock up to gyrate for the fans instead. Kamifuku later said she wouldn’t allow the Bronco Buster to be used in TJPW so she and Natsu got into a Big Boot battle over it. Natsu eventually got to do the move on Kamifuku with Mifu Ashida cheering her on. Ober Eats were finally able to get rid of her when Wakana Uehara lifted Kamifuku up to do an Elevated Big Boot to knock Natsu out of the ring. Kamifuku then went on to pin Ashida with the Famouser. Kamifuku said backstage that as part of her retirement road she asked TJPW to bring in Natsu because she is a character unlike anyone else in the company. In the ring she is flamboyant, intense and over the top but away from that she is kind, considerate and has a strong sense of professionalism. She also thinks Uehara and Ashida could learn a lot about the various possibilities of pro wrestling just from experiencing 0.2% of Natsu. Wrestling in TJPW for the first time made Natsu so nervous, she forgot to bring her makeup bag which she admits is very unlike her. She came here with the goal of becoming a legend in one appearance rather than auditioning for a regular spot but now she is convinced she can make it here. She wants TJPW management to consider booking her more often even if it’s just as a favour to Kamiyu.

Both teams in Match #3 came up with a special rule to celebrate the end of summer. In order for a pinfall to be counted, the wrestlers would have to do a Bon Odori dance beforehand. Music played and everyone danced until Hyper Misao’s team attacked Pom Harajuku’s team from behind. Raku led her partners in the Oyasumi Express while the music played. Mahiro Kiryu used her Apology Knee Drop to try and do the dance. Yuki Aino put Shino Suzuki in the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire so Suzuki called for the music in order to try and dance her way out of the move. It actually worked and she almost pinned Aino with the Rolling Back Cradle afterward. Unfortunately Aino kicked out of it and quickly put Suzuki back in the Full Nelson to make her give up.

Two wrestlers who were both dealing with the disappointment of first round exits were put in the ring against each other in the undercard. The experience of Sakura Hattori won out against Haru Kazashiro in the end. After Kazashiro got a nearfall with a Low Cross Body, she wanted to use the Fisherman Suplex next. Instead, Hattori spun her way free and used a Leg Sweep to trip Kazashiro down. She then tangled her up in the Kitcho Kagome to pin her for the three count.

It’s been eight months since Shion Kanzaki debuted in TJPW and now that there is a rookie who debuted after her, the time has come for Kanzaki to earn her first win! She defeated Momo Sato to kick off the show, grabbing Sato in a Standing Armbar before slamming her down to the mat and wrenching in further for the submission. Sato did put up a fight by doing the Kneel Kick and a Crab Hold before that though. She said she trains with Sato a lot and knows how talented she is so she wasn’t sure she could beat her today. She wants to continue winning matches so she can go into her upcoming homecoming show with her head held high.

The show opening call that usually takes place with The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) included a special guest this time.
