12. KO-D Openweight Title – Good Com Asset Presents: Yuji Hino (c) Vs Chris Brookes
Chaos broke out at a rally event held by Akito, Soma Takao & Yoshitomo Shimohigashi to promote the show. Pheromones found out the location was at a store where the DDT GM Hisaya Imabayashi works part-time. Imabayashi is currently subcontracted to DDT instead of being a full time employee, so he got a part-time job here to make up for his drop in salary. When Pheromones crashed the event and started causing trouble with Akito’s team they ended up dragging a bystander into the situation. That person turned out to be Buchigire Ujihara, a comedian and Youtuber who is friends with Shimohigashi. Imabayashi found out who he was and started complaining it’s unfair that he has to work these low paying part-time jobs while Ujihara gets rich by acting a fool on Youtube. Since Imabayashi is not fully employed by DDT, he no longer sees the point in opposing Pheromones. Instead he is going to be on their side at Sumo Hall under the name Hisaya Kachikire. In response to this Ujihara agreed to be in the corner of Akito’s team for the match.

GANBARE☆PRO “UNDER THE SILVER LAKE 2023”, 06/08/2023
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
1. Special Single Match: Ken Ohka Vs Koji Doi
2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shuichiro Katsumura & Takuya Wada (c) Vs Hartley Jackson & HARUKAZE
3. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs YuuRI
It’s been a weekend to remember for YuuRI. She settled a score with Misa Kagura going back to their JTO beginnings, won the main championship of Ice Ribbon the next day and is now challenging Isami Kodaka in a bid to rescue the Spirit Of Ganbare Title! This isn’t the kind of match Kodaka was expecting to get involved in after taking Ganbare☆Pro’s singles belt but he is still intrigued by the challenge.
GanPro’s first attempt and defending themselves against DoiKuma did not go the way they wanted it to. Ken Ohka was beaten but still wants to fight Kuma Arashi to get his revenge. Arashi is not interested in facing Ohka one on one and has plans elsewhere to worry about. Koji Doi however is interested in fighting Ohka by himself while Arashi is busy.
GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO BATTLE GAREGGA ’23”, 11/08/2023
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
1. ICEx∞ Title: YuuRI (c) Vs Ami Manase
The ICEx∞ Title is the name of the championship YuuRI won in Ice Ribbon. Her title win is significant because she is only two years and eight months into her wrestling career. The only person to have won that title with less experience at the time was Suzu Suzuki at one year and eight months. YuuRI decided her first title defence will be at the next Ganbare☆Joshi show. She picked Ami Manase to be her opponent because they haven’t fought each other in GanJo yet.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 17/07/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
202 Fans
1. Suzume defeated Haru Kazashiro with the Mikazuki Meteor Shower (6:14).
2. Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Hyper Misao & Shino Suzuki when Raku pinned Suzuki with the Doctor Yellow (9:30).
3. Mizuki, Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko defeated Arisu Endo, HIMAWARI & Runa Okubo when Mizuki submitted Okubo with the Face Lock (11:04).
4. Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima, Wakana Uehara & Toga defeated Rika Tatsumi, Hikari Noa, Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami when Yamashita pinned Toribami with the Attitude Adjustment (13:29).
5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Yuki Kamifuku defeated Nao Kakuta with the Famouser (9:56).
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Miu Watanabe defeated Yuki Aino with the Tear Drop (15:10).
Round 1 of the Tokyo Princess Cup continued with last year’s finalist Miu Watanabe advancing past Yuki Aino in the main event. She countered the UBV into the Tear Drop to win the match, bringing the third straight show in a busy weekend to an end. Watanabe said seeing everyone in Tokyo Joshi Pro gathering together to make new memories this summer makes her happy. It makes her want to beat the best in TJPW and win the Princess Cup! Unfortunately for Aino this loss is the latest in a string of big defeats. She blamed it on failing to make a decision during the most critical moment of the match. It pains her that she never lives up to the expectations of everyone who supports her. However her flame has not burned out and she can do her best again to become stronger.
Watanabe is going to face Yuki Kamifuku in the Quarter Final after Kamifuku defeated Nao Kakuta in a fierce fight. The result is revenge for Kakuta pinning Kamifuku at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’23” earlier this month. Kamifuku said she didn’t want to get beaten up by Kakuta again so she decided to fight back. Now she’s worried about how she looks after the match just in case she bumps into Sho Hirano on the street tonight. For her next round match against Watanabe, Kamifuku said she will not be training or going to the dojo. Instead she’s going to the club where she hopes to meet her future husband Hirano. She prays he will come to see the match and cheer her on, making her win with the power of love! Meanwhile Kakuta said she has no regrets because she did everything she could. She recently found out TJPW described her as the “Uncrowned Queen” in their show program. It’s not a nickname she hates but it did take her aback. She’s going to continue being stubborn and persistent so she can finally accomplish something as a pro wrestler.

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO FIGHTING SPIRITS ’23”, 16/07/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
205 Fans
1. GanJo Three Big Singles Match: Sumire Natsu defeated Riara with the Shining Wizard (10:32).
2. Banny Oikawa Comeback Match: Cherry & Alex Lee defeated Miyako Matsumoto & Banny Oikawa when Cherry submitted Oikawa with the Sakuran Bokari (10:20).
3. GanJo Three Big Singles Match: SAKI defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa with the Power “Zu” Ram (11:27).
4. Makoto & Asuka defeated Ami Manase & Marika Kobashi when Makoto pinned Manase with the Death Valley Bomb (16:59).
5. GanJo Three Big Singles Match: YuuRI defeated Misa Kagura with the Swanton Bomb (11:15).
As Ganbare☆Joshi begins to grow, so too does YuuRI’s success at winning matches. She scored a significant victory today by beating her old JTO classmate Misa Kagura in the main event of the latest GanJo show. With this momentum, YuuRI will be heading over to Ice Ribbon tomorrow to challenge Totoro Satsuki for the ICEx∞ Title. She told the fans she is going to win the title in the afternoon and then show up at the evening’s Ganbare☆Pro show as a champion! Backstage Kagura said she is aiming to win the ICEx∞ Title this year too. She will win it from YuuRI!
A Super Kick & Death Valley Bomb combo from Asuka & Makoto put Ami Manase down for the count. This may also be the last time we see Marika Kobashi in GanJo for a while because she is visiting England in August to spend the rest of her summer studying.
Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs SAKI was a match between two former wrestlers who made their starts in Actwres girl’Z. SAKI won the match but Hasegawa refused to shake her hand afterwards. She explained backstage that shaking hands like that would end her story with SAKI. She wants to get stronger and face SAKI again to keep that story going. When SAKI heard that was the reason, she asked if she can bring in wrestlers from her Color’s unit to turn this situation into a promotional rivalry against GanJo.
One of of Ice Ribbon’s former wrestlers returned to the ring at this GanJo show. Banny Oikawa had her comeback match teaming with Miyako Matsumoto, the woman responsible for convincing her to enter GanJo. Sadly Oikawa’s big return was spoiled by Cherry & Alex Lee. Cherry used her Sakuran Bokari submission hold to make Oikawa give up and lose the match. Still, Oikawa is committed to the return and announced she will be back in GanJo for their 11th August show. She wants to work her way up to GanPro so she can wrestle in mixed gender matches.
In a battle of the night life hostesses Sumire Natsu defeated Riara. The match consisted of Natsu pouring a bottle of champagne over her opponent and also attacking her with a whip until the referee stopped her. Natsu knocked the ref down but that led to Riara grabbing the whip and using it to fight back. However Natsu regained control of the match and pinned Riara with the Shining Wizard. Then after the match Riara unexpectedly asked Natsu if she wanted to form a tag team together! Natsu didn’t give her a straight answer. Instead she said pro wrestling and the entertainment business both value connections so they will meet again some day.
Yuna Manase appeared at the beginning of the show, thanking the fans for making up the biggest attendance yet for a GanJo show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 16/07/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
223 Fans
1. Arisu Endo defeated Runa Okubo with the Camel Clutch (5:06).
2. Pom Harajuku, Haruna Neko & HIMAWARI defeated Hikari Noa, Shino Suzuki & Haru Kazashiro when Harajuku pinned Suzuki with the Pom de Justice (9:10).
3. Mizuki & Hyper Misao defeated Wakana Uehara & Toga when Misao submitted Toga with the Chickenwing Face Lock (10:25).
4. Miyu Yamashita, Miu Watanabe, Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Yuki Aino, Nao Kakuta, Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami when Kamifuku pinned Toribami with the Famouser (10:16).
5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Shoko Nakajima defeated Suzume with the Locomotion Northern Lights Suplex (13:52).
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Rika Tatsumi defeated Raku with the White Dragon Sleeper (10:37).
Day 2 of the Tokyo Princess Cup avoids the upsets of the opening show. Rika Tatsumi had to survive Brain Chop after Brain Chop from Raku to advance into Round 2. Raku put up a good fight by using the Front Neck Lock and Hurricane Turn but to no avail. Once Tatsumi trapped her in the Dragon Sleeper it was all over. Despite losing, Raku said the match makes her want to work harder because wrestling is fun. Tatsumi praised Raku after the match for her recent growth in the ring. She isn’t looking forward to the next round on 29th July because her opponent there is a rather strong one.
Any hopes Suzume had of repeating last year’s strong run through the brackets were dashed aside by Shoko Nakajima. Maybe it’s because Nakajima is the kind of wrestler to match Suzume with doing high risk dives in and out of the ring. Suzume found ways to avoid the 619 and Northern Lights Suplex but a determined Nakajima eventually found her target with those moves. She had to use the Locomotion version of her finisher to put Suzume away. Nakajima said she had to go all out to win her 1st Round match. She is motivated to win the Princess Cup for the second time in order to face Mizuki for the Princess Of Princess Title. She heard that Mizuki was going to nominate her as the next challenger if she had won the tournament. Suzume said she did everything she could do today. It’s just that Nakajima is too big of an opponent for her to compete against right now. But someday Suzume is certain she will be seen as Nakajima’s rival.

Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
219 Fans
1. Wakana Uehara & HIMAWARI defeated Haru Kazashiro & Runa Okubo when Uehara submitted Kazashiro with the Sleeper Hold (6:45).
2. Kaya Toribami defeated Shino Suzuki with the Bird Cage (5:20).
3. Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta & Arisu Endo defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Mahiro Kiryu & Toga when Noa pinned Toga with the Running Neckbreaker Drop (10:40).
4. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe, Suzume & Haruna Neko defeated Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku when Tatsumi pinned Harajuku with the Twist Of Fate (13:42).
5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Moka Miyamoto defeated Hyper Misao with the Zero-sen Kick (9:36).
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Miyu Yamashita defeated Mizuki with the Skull Kick (16:11).
And we’re off with the beginning to this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup. Day 1 already begins with two significant results in the Round 1 bracket. Miyu Yamashita has kicked the two time winner Mizuki out in the main event! She used the Attitude Adjustment not once, not twice but three times. Mizuki fired back with the Cutie Special and Whirling Candy. She also landed the Diving Foot Stomp but went to use another Cutie Special instead of going for the pin. Yamashita held her ground and countered a Spinning Back Elbow with the Skull Kick to beat the Princess Of Princess Champion! With this win Yamashita wants to go all the way so she can get a rematch with Mizuki, this time with the Princess Title on the line! Backstage Mizuki said she wants that rematch to happen so she picks Yamashita to win the tournament.
The Princess Cup has treated Hyper Misao well in the past. As an underdog in previous tournaments she has taken the scalp of wrestlers like Yamashita, Yuka Sakazaki and Sakisama in the early rounds. This year she now discovered what it’s like to lose to an underdog because Moka Miyamoto beat her! Miyamoto survived the HyPami Returns as well as the Crossface Chickenwing to pin Misao with the Zero-sen Kick. She wants to make her summer a successful one but will have to beat Yamashita at Korakuen Hall in the Quarter Final on 29th July. Backstage Misao wants to send a message to Miyamoto telling her to do her best, but it’s just so she could look cool as her senpai.

The Tokyo Princess Cup begins this weekend. The plan for the undercard on these shows is to put wrestlers from upcoming tournament matches in preview tag matches. So for example Rika Tatsumi and Raku are on opposite teams in the same match, Suzume and Shoko Nakajima are on opposite teams, so on and so forth. Hikari Noa and Yuki Arai are the exception because Arai isn’t available to wrestle until their tournament match on 22nd July.

Sakura Hirota is invited to celebrate Saki Akai’s 10th Anniversary. Will she bust out the Akai cosplay again?
While Sanshiro Takagi has been recovering from injury he had been tempting fate on Twitter, talking about how vulnerable he is while as the current Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. Stuff like asking the wrestlers not to even think about Low Kicking his injured leg when they meet up for example. Nobody has taken advantage of his perdicament and he remains the champion at the moment.

The first round draw for this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup took place today at the Kanda Myojin Shrine in Tokyo. 14 of the 16 participants were in attendance with Yuki Arai and Raku both missing due to having other priorities. Arai’s spot in the bracket was already decided in advance because 22nd July is the only date she is available to wrestle on that week.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 15/07/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
1. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1A: Miyu Yamashita Vs Mizuki
2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1B: Hyper Misao Vs Moka Miyamoto
The big match of Round 1 is right at the start of the bracket! It’s been well establish that the Princess Cup has been Miyu Yamashita’s Achilles’ heel for her entire career. She has entered every tournament and never won any of them, even during her most dominant periods in Tokyo Joshi Pro. For two of those years Yamashita was eliminated by Mizuki so this drawing sounds like bad luck for her. However Yamashita thinks if she can knock out the current Princess Of Princess Champion in the 1st Round then the odds are good she will finally win this damn tournament for once! Mizuki already has a person in mind she wants to nominate as her next challenger for the Princess Title. That will only be revealed if she wins the Princess Cup because otherwise she will most likely defend against the tournament winner instead. She’ll have to exterminate every monster standing in her way to do it, starting with Yamashita.
Moka Miyamoto hasn’t left a strong impression on Hyper Misao so far based on the few singles matches they’ve had against each other. For that reason Misao does not want to drop her guard and get eliminated in the 1st Round. She also hopes Mizuki will beat Yamashita because she would rather face her in Round 2 instead of the monster Yamashita! Miyamoto told Misao she has gotten stronger since their last match. She will do her best not to fall for any of Misao’s tricks.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 16/07/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
1. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1C: Raku Vs Rika Tatsumi
2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1D: Suzume Vs Shoko Nakajima
It’s been a good summer for Rika Tatsumi so far. The International Princess Champion is using this tournament to kick off the second half of the season. She knows Raku will be a tough opponent but nobody is going to stop her from reaching her goal. Tatsumi wants to win the Princess Cup so she will achieve TJPW’s ultimate grand slam!
The bee meets the kaiju in Round 1. Suzume wants to grow as big as Shoko Nakajima is this summer so she needs to be ready to sting any opponent put in front of her. Nakajima is celebrating 10 years as a pro wrestler this summer and she is cherishing the time. She’s aware of how much of a threat Suzume has become so she cannot afford to lose against her junior! She wants fans to keep an eye out for her while she goes on a rampage through the bracket.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 17/07/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
1. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1E: Yuki Kamifuku Vs Nao Kakuta
2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1F: Yuki Aino Vs Miu Watanabe
Every year when Yuki Kamifuku enters the Princess Cup she talks about how much she hates competing in tournaments and never wants to take part in them. This year however there are a lot of wrestlers from Generation Z taking part so she decided to stop complaining and start taking it seriously. Otherwise she will get annoyed from hearing the younger wrestlers use that excuse against her. Nao Kakuta just pinned Kamifuku at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’23” over the weekend. Her summer has just begun and she wants to make it the hottest summer of her life!
Yuki Aino thinks the block she landed in is fate. She was eliminated by Kakuta in the first round last year and was eliminated by Miu Watanabe the year before. She also has a mutual connection with Kamifuku. She will have to get past this group in order to achieve her goal of reaching at least the semi-finals. Watanabe has faced Aino a lot of times and if she advances would like to meet Kakuta in Round 2 because it would be their first singles match against each other. Watanabe is also last year’s runner up and she pointed out she has reached one round further than the previous year for the last 4 years. She’s been in the final 8, then the final 4 and then the final 2. Does the pattern end with her winning the entire thing?
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 22/07/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
1. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1G: Arisu Endo Vs Mahiro Kiryu
2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1H: Hikari Noa Vs Yuki Arai
With two Princess Cup appearances already under her belt, Arisu Endo has yet to make it past the opening round. Her first time in the tournament was losing to Mahiro Kiryu too. In fact, Endo has never won a Round 1 match in any tournament she’s entered. The only time she made it to a 2nd Round was by default due to uneven entry numbers. So she definitely wants to win against Kiryu. She has decent odds because Kiryu’s form in the Princess Cup isn’t that good either. The only tournament match she ever won was against… Arisu Endo. Their match happens in the final show of a three day series of events so she aims to raise her spirits at the first two shows in preparation while keeping an eye on what Endo will do.
Ever since Hikari Noa made her debut she’s experienced some bittersweet memories during the summertime. Losing her match at Ota Ward Gymnasium over the weekend is just the latest one for her. She wants to enjoy the rest of the summer and shine brighter to make up for it. Noa’s match against Yuki Arai is a rematch from last year’s 2nd Round. Noa won that only to fall to the eventual tournament winner Yuka Sakazaki in the next round.

10. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Maki Itoh
Earlier this week Vert Vixen sent a video to Tokyo Joshi Pro telling them she wants to put the DEFY Women’s Title on the line in her match against Hikari Noa. The match means a lot to Vixen because when she was a child her father travelled to Japan on business trips and he would come back with gifts and stories for her. She got to tour Japan with TJPW in April where she teamed with Noa twice and together they won both matches. Vixen is so confident she will beat Noa she wants their match to be a title match so she can make her father proud. She previously had a successful title defence against Miyu Yamashita during Yamashita’s US excursion. Noa was touched by Vixen’s idea and accepted the challenge. She wants to win a singles championship and go wrestle overseas again. She warns Vixen that she fought in a death match and became even stronger since the last time they were in the ring together.
GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO FIGHTING SPIRITS ’23”, 16/07/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
1. Ami Manase & Marika Kobashi Vs Makoto & Asuka
2. Banny Oikawa Comeback Match: Miyako Matsumoto & Banny Oikawa Vs Cherry & Alex Lee
3. GanJo Three Big Singles Match: Riara Vs Sumire Natsu
4. GanJo Three Big Singles Match: Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs SAKI
5. GanJo Three Big Singles Match: YuuRI Vs Misa Kagura
Three important singles matches highlight the next Ganbare☆Joshi card. YuuRI’s grudge match with Misa Kagura was already announced. Yoshiko Hasegawa meets SAKI in the ring again for the first time in three years. A battle between hostesses will take place when Riara takes on Sumire Natsu.
Banny Oikawa’s return to wrestling has her teaming with Miyako Matsumoto. Her entry into GanJo is because of Matsumoto so that makes sense. Alex Lee being on the opposite side is unexpected because she’s been with Matsumoto in her previous appearances here. Cherry is part of the match because she was one of Oikawa’s trainers.
I’ve noticed that all of Ami Manase’s matches so far included Marika Kobashi. They’ve been both opponents and teammates. Their next task together is facing Makoto & Asuka. That pair often teams together as Las Fresa de Egoistas.

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO FIGHTING SPIRITS ’23”, 16/07/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
1. Banny Oikawa Comeback Match: Banny Oikawa Vs X
2. Special Single Match: YuuRI Vs Misa Kagura
A singles match three years in the making. Both YuuRI and Misa Kagura had their debut wrestling match in JTO on 11th November, 2020. Less than a year later YuuRI jumped over to GanPro without ever getting to have a singles match against her classmate. This past weekend the tag match they had in Ganbare☆Joshi brought their feelings for each other bubbling to the surface. It pushed YuuRI to finally challenge Kagura one on one. Kagura accepted so she can beat GanPro’s YuuRI while representing the company she stayed loyal to.
Also happening over the weekend was Banny Oikawa’s return to the wrestling scene. The former Ice Ribbon wrestler took a hiatus after leaving the promotion last summer. Her return brought her to GanJo thanks to some advice from Miyako Matsumoto. Oikawa has seen the GanJo wrestlers take part in intergender matches on GanPro shows and that is a big reason why she wants to wrestle again. However GanJo no longer does mixed tag matches on their own shows. An offer was made by Michiyoshi Mishima to have Oikawa’s return match take place in GanJo first while he tries convincing Ken Ohka to start booking her for GanPro afterwards.
