5. Mizuki & Miu Watanabe defeated Haru Kazashiro & Uta Takami when Mizuki pinned Kazashiro with the Cutie Special (17:14).
The present main eventers of Tokyo Joshi Pro fought against two possible future main eventers on today’s TJPW Inspiration show. Haru Kazashiro grabbed Mizuki in an Armbreaker while Uta Takami jumped onto Miu Watanabe to apply the Koala Clutch. However Watanabe was able to break up both submission holds by slamming Takami onto Kazashiro. Mizuki then blocked Kazashiro from doing the Fisherman Suplex and cut her off by the ropes with a Diving Foot Stomp. She then won the match using the Cutie Special. Mizuki asked for a handshake after the match but then ignored the other team when they offered her one. Watanabe did shake hands with Kazashiro but ignored Takami for some reason. Mizuki thanked everyone for coming to the show because it was TJPW’s first time at TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi. She’s expecting the summer to get hot but it’s already becoming too hot for her right now. Watanabe said everybody thinks of them as princesses so today you can call them Princess Tag!
Nao Kakuta made a special appearance on the show to officiate a tag match between Yoshiko Hasegawa & Kaya Toribami and Tae Honma & Miyuki Takase. The latter team started to argue with each other when things weren’t going their way. Kakuta tried to calm them down when Honma decided that Kakuta was the only one on her side. The two of them then Irish Whipped everyone else into the corner. Takase then tried using Kakuta for double team moves by Suplexing her onto Hasegawa but Kakuta reversed it and Hasegawa rolled away. Takase used a Missile Dropkick to take down Haseawa & Toribami. Honma gave Hasegawa a Modified DDT for a nearfall and then put her in an Arm Lock to make her give up. Kakuta was later asked if she would like to be a referee again. She doesn’t plan to but if she’s given another opportunity she wouldn’t mind taking it. Toribami complained about Kakuta playing favorites in the match but Kakuta, Honma & Takase told her it was all in her head.
In a promotion that is usually filled with youthful, fast paced wrestlers Gabai Ji-chan slowed things down with his elderly movements. He also thought he was teaming up with Daisy Monkey until Daisuke Kiso guided him over to Mahiro Kiryu’s corner. There were moments when Ji-chan was able to keep up with Suzume & Arisu Endo until his body couldn’t take it anymore. Maybe it’s all in the cane because he threw it towards Suzume and when she caught it, all of a sudden she was bent over double moving like an old lady. Ji-chan then kicked the cane away making Suzume collapse on the mat. He then went for the Swanton Bomb but Endo pulled Suzume out of the way, causing a chain reaction where Kiryu was pulled into Suzume’s place and Ji-chan landed onto the back of her legs instead. Endo took down Ji-chan with a Neckbreaker Drop and Suzume then pinned Kiryu with the Ring A Bell.
The rookie Ren Konatsu was given a big chance to wrestle Shoko Nakajima one on one. The match was mostly grapple based with Konatsu applying a Sleeper only for Nakajima to collapse it. Konatsu tried turning it into a Cradle but Nakajima rolled out of that too and maneuvered everything into catching her opponent with the Unmanned Local Train Hold for the tap out.
Hasegawa wrestled twice on the show, although the first bout was only a three minute exhibition. Ai Shimizu was invited back to wrestle in TJPW for the first time in 9 years just so Hasegawa could get a chance to wrestler her, even if it was just for a brief moment in time. Three minutes obviously wasn’t enough time to determine a winner and the time ran out while Hasegawa was kicking out of a Romero Special and putting Shimizu into a her own submission hold. Afterwards Hasegawa pointed out that Shimizu never actually retired from pro wrestling so she would love to see what she will do next. The two have happy memories together and Shimizu thanked Hasegawa for choosing her as one of her last opponents before retirement. Similar to what Kakuta said above, Shimizu told reporters that if an offer comes her way she may be interested in wrestle again if her schedule allows it.
Today was Rise Shirai’s first complete show as TJPW’s new ring announcer. She was joined by Chika Nanase for the show’s opening call.

1. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League – Round 2: X Vs X
2. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League – Round 2: X Vs X
Earlier today Rise Shirai brought the eight remaining wrestlers in the Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League together to take part in a draw to determine who faces who in Round 2. The winners of these four matches will qualify for the actual Princess Cup, filling in the four remaining spots. The lottery came up with these four matches:
-. Moka Miyamoto Vs Kaya Toribami
-. Haru Kazashiro Vs Ivy Steele
-. Wakana Uehara Vs Shino Suzuki
-. Pom Harajuku Vs HIMAWARI
It has not been decided yet which matches will take place when. Two will be held at the 5th July show in Yokahama Radiant Hall and the remaining two takes place in Shinjuku FACE on 8th July. The match placements will take the rest of the show cards into consideration. For example maybe Moka Miyamoto will have another match with Suzume in Yokohama to build up their upcoming title match so that would mean Miyamoto’s qualifier against Kaya Toribami would have to take place in Shinjuku.
Over the weekend Sayuri Namba and Rise Shirai held the draw for the 1st Round Qualifying matches of this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup. The matches are as follows:
-. Kaya Toribami Vs Chika Nanase
-. HIMAWARI Vs Mifu Ashida
-. Toga Vs Ivy Steele
-. Haru Kazashiro Vs Konatsu
-. Wakana Uehara Vs Kira Summer
-. Pom Harajuku Vs Haruna Neko
-. Mahiro Kiryu Vs Moka Miyamoto
-. Shino Suzuki Vs Uta Takami
It has been announced yet which matches will be held on the upcoming shows. They do not have to be in any order because another draw will be held for the 2nd Round to pair off all of the winners.

7. Mizuki & Haru Kazashiro defeated Miu Watanabe & Shino Suzuki when Mizuki pinned Suzuki with the Cutie Special (15:25).
The hometown girl Shino Suzuki was put through her paces in the main event. Mizuki kept breaking out of her Sleeper Hold but in return Suzuki fought to avoid being put in the Face Lock. Suzuki’s last gaps came from throwing some Elbow Strikes but Mizuki knocked her away with a Back Elbow and got the pin with the Cutie Special. Mizuki got on the microphone after the match and said there are so many people here today who love Suzuki! She secretly would have liked Suzuki to win today but she couldn’t let that happen. Mizuki still has to show her what Tokyo Joshi Pro is like right now. She hopes Suzuki will get stronger so one they they can fight each other for a championship. She also praised Haru Kazashiro and said Miu Watanabe is still a monster but she has become more like a princess now. Suzuki admitted when she lived in Shizuoka nothing she did went well for her. She thought it was a city where people gave up on their dreams. But she found pro wrestling and became really passionate for it so she now loves this city and is proud to come back here.
Is Uta Takami now a part of the Itoh Respect Army? She and Maki Itoh sang “Setsunairo” together for their entrance. That’s the song Itoh made with Mizuki for the original Itoh Respect Army tag team.
An out of the ring chase caused Pom Harajuku to try and trap Rika Tatsumi out of the room by closing a shutter gate on her. Tatsumi though had the strength to lift the gate above her head so she could get back in.
The apprentice ring announcer Rise Shirai did the match calls for the opening bout.

Yoshiko Hasegawa said she was able to win the main event thanks to the wrestlers she was teaming with. But next time she will have to fight alone when she challenges Suzume for the International Princess Title. That match happens on 31st May at Shino Suzuki’s homecoming show so she told her they have both have to win there. She wants to see her juniors live selfishly like she is right now. HIMAWARI later said she wants to keep winning too so she can challenge for the IP Title again. Backstage Suzume said she could feel the sincerity coming from Hasegawa and it is firing her up for the title match.
The four year anniversary of Kaya Toribami’s pro wrestling debut is coming up soon. She was introduced to Tokyo Joshi Pro by Shoko Nakajima and while she had fun wrestling on the undercards, she never considered herself as someone who could challenge her seniors for championships. But recently her feelings about that changed and she now wants to have a passionate title match with Nakajima where she can fight her heart out! Nakajima asked which of her two championships does Toribami want to fight her for and she picked the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title because she wants a singles match with Nakajima in particular. Nakajima said she understands Toribami’s abilities better than anyone and then explained she needs this championship to keep going back to America. The title is also a magical belt that can make dreams come true. It can transform a small Japanese girl into a giant monster that can shock the world! Toribami understood and promised to go beyond her potential to try and take it from her. The title match will take place on 7th June, the first day of Toribami’s fifth year as a pro wrestler. Backstage Nakajima approved of what Toribami did today because she normally doesn’t stand out much. She thinks it would do Toribami some good if she stood out more.
The new ring announcer and replacement for Sayuri Namba was properly introduced to everybody for the first time after being revealed on a Youtube video yesterday. Rise Shirai will begin her new role on the 24th May show acting as Namba’s apprentice for one month. The apprenticeship will last up until Namba’s graduation in June.
Urgent Pursuit!! The New TJPW Ring Announcer Actually Exists!!
A video was posted on Tokyo Joshi Pro’s Youtube channel today focusing on Sayuri Namba’s search for her replacement. The ring announcer will be graduating from TJPW on 22nd June and at the time there was no information in regards to who would be taking over her role. Today we found out when Namba and Shino Suzuki were filmed going on an exploration through uncharted territory (definitely not the park that’s across the road from DDT’s office in Shinjuku) in the hopes of finding a new ring announcer. The presentation is a homage to the 1970s TV show “Kawaguchi Hiroshi Tankentai”, from using a “S.W.A.T.” theme song soundalike for the intro to having Suzuki be attacked and bitten by a snake for drama.
The exploration seemed to end in failure with neither Namba or Suzuki finding what they were looking for. Namba was ready to give up with the knowledge that if things get bad she can always just come back from Canada every once in a while to help out TJPW. But then a woman named Shirai suddenly appeared asking if Namba is still looking for a ring announcer? Shirai explained she first discovered Namba from seeing her perform as a ring girl on a DDT show and when she learned about her ring announcing career she became inspired to follow in Namba’s footsteps. Suzuki was happy with this discovery but Namba refused to accept Shirai’s request unless she could beat her in a rap battle. Shirai was able to do just that so it looks like TJPW is getting a new ring announcer after all.
