Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
251 Fans

1. Wakana Uehara defeated Toga with a Jackknife Pin (6:05).
2. Raku defeated Shino Suzuki with a Jumping Front Neck Lock (4:50).
3. Yuka Sakazaki, Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Haru Kazashiro & Runa Okubo when Sakazaki pinned Okubo with the Tea Time (11:28).

6. Mizuki, Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta & Mahiro Kiryu when Mizuki pinned Kiryu with the Diving Foot Stomp (12:43).

Mizuki and Nao Kakuta got to face off in a preview of their Princess Of Princess Title match on 15th April. Free WiFi tried to give Mizuki the 5G but she escaped and got Daisy Monkey to get rid of both of them. Mizuki then went on to pin Mahiro Kiryu with the Diving Foot Stomp. Afterwards she pointed out how happy Arisu Endo was to be on the winning team for the main event. She also told fans she would be happy if they go and watch Tokyo Joshi Pro’s show in America on PPV. That comment reminded Endo that she isn’t ready to travel yet. She doesn’t even have a suitcase!

American death match wrestler Sawyer Wreck will be touring with TJPW from 29th April to 5th May. It was decided that the next “TJPW INSPIRATION” show will take place in Shin-Kiba 1st RING on 1st May where Wreck will face Hikari Noa in a Death Match! Then on 5th May at Korakuen Hall Wreck will face the Princess Champion (either Mizuki or Kakuta) with the title on the line!

World Hino Classic, El Unicorn Is Yuni Again, Super Unagi Mask, Sasaki’s Dream Match With Despy

March 23, 2023

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAM TOUR IN SHINJUKU 2023”, 24/03/2023
Shinjuku FACE

1. HARASHIMA & Keigo Nakamura Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida
2. WORLD HINO CLASSIC ~Opening Match~: Makoto Oishi & Bambi Vs Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno
3. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Akito (c) Vs Yusuke Okada
4. Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & KANON Vs Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Kazuma Sumi
5. BURNING Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku Vs MAO, Shunma Katsumata & Toy Kojima
6. Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani
7. International Special Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita & Samuray Del Sol Vs Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada

Coming out of the anniversary show, Pheromones are demanding that Yuki Iino be chosen as the No. 1 Contender for the KO-D Openweight Title. It has been refused by Hisaya Imabayashi and Yuji Hino agrees with the decision. Hino knows Iino is a strong man but he wants nothing to do with that character. At first he said he will only consider giving Iino a title shot if he becomes a serious heavyweight again. Then Makoto Oishi came up with an idea called the World Hino Classic. Pheromones will go through a couple of trial matches and if they win them all then Iino gets his title match. The opening match is being called the Group Of Death because Iino & Danshoku Dieno have to fight the Ω team of Oishi and Bambi. All Pheromones need to do is win this match and they will go straight to the WHC final. What the final is will be revealed if Pheromones make it out of the Group Of Death.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR IN SPRING ’23”, 26/03/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Wakana Uehara Vs Toga
2. Raku Vs Shino Suzuki
3. Yuka Sakazaki, Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami Vs Yuki Kamifuku, Haru Kazashiro & Runa Okubo
4. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe Vs Pom Harajuku & HIMAWARI
5. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao Vs Yuki Aino & Haruna Neko
6. Mizuki, Suzume & Arisu Endo Vs Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta & Mahiro Kiryu

The recently debuted Haru Kazashiro is about to graduate from junior high school so this will be her final match as a junior high student.

Both Miyu Yamashita and Maki Itoh are missing the show to wrestle in Canada this weekend.

DDT “APRIL FOOL 2023”, 09/04/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Rukiya Ikeda Debut Match: Yuya Koroku Vs Rukiya Ikeda
2. Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Yuni
3. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Keigo Nakamura

A new tag team of HARASHIMA & Keigo Nakamura are next to challenge ShunMao for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. It is the addition of Nakamura to the match that excites MAO & Shunma Katsumata. The two of them have fought HARASHIMA a lot so he’s nothing new. But Nakamura is from the new generation of DDT wrestlers who are all hungry to climb up the ladder. It was Nakamura who wanted to challenge the champions. That took HARASHIMA off guard but he quickly came around on the idea when he realised it is making Nakamura want to work hard.

The elementary school wrestler Yuni finally revealed he was El Unicorn all along and has ditched the mask to start a new chapter in his career. Now in high school, Yuni wants to make a fresh start in wrestling and thinks showing his real face is the best way to go about it. He is back to using the name Yuni but it is now written in katakana instead of hiragana. He is training to grow bigger and stronger for his goal to win the KO-D Title while still in high school. He sees his match against Yuki Ueno as a huge opportunity he does not want to miss.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STAND ALONE ’23”, 15/04/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao Vs Yuki Arai & HIMAWARI (Special Referee: Shiori Aoki)
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Nao Kakuta

Last December Mizuki chose Nao Kakuta to be part of her 10th Anniversary match. This week Kakuta returned the favour by telling Mizuki she wants to fight her for the Princess Of Princess Title. It is a challenge Mizuki says she cannot refuse.

SKE48 idol Shiori Aoki gets to be a pro wrestling referee. There’s a conflict of interest though because Yuki Arai will be wrestling in the match. Does Aoki go on to play favorites or even go the complete opposite way and screw over her fellow idol? Even if she calls everything fair and square, having to officiate a Kyoraku Kyomei match sounds way too much for a rookie referee to handle.

DDT “YAMADA FISHERIES PRESENTS 4.23 SHIBUSHI FISH MEAT DECISIVE BATTLE @ UNAGI STATION”, 23/04/2023
Kagoshima Shibushi City Unagi Station

1. Fish Vs Meat Full-Scale Battle! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shishamo Power, Unagi Mask & Super Unagi Mask Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida

The war between fish eaters and meat eaters went lopsided after Kazusada Higuchi betrayed Shishamo Power & Unagi Mask last month. Higuchi revealed he prefers meat over seafood so jumped over to side with Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida for the next match in the feud. The seafood team looked to be in trouble until the president of Yamada Suisan revealed the company has been developing another Unagi Mask wrestler to even the odds. According to the president, Super Unagi Mask is more well-trained than the regular Unagi Mask. He thinks the two of them would work well together in a seafood wrestling Tag League. Sanshiro Takagi likes the idea and will consider launching Yamada Suisan Pro Wrestling if the seafood team wins their battle against the meat eaters.

Shiro Koshinaka and Rayne Leverkusen will both be on the show.

DDT “MEGA MAX BUMP 2023 IN YOKOHAMA”, 03/05/2023
Yokohama Budokan

1. Chiitan☆Debut Match: Chiitan Vs X
2. International Special Single Match: Saki Akai Vs Rayne Leverkusen
3. DDT Extreme Title: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs Shunma Katsumata
4. DDT Universal Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs MAO
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuji Hino (c) Vs X

So at the moment Hino will be defending the KO-D Title at Yokohama Budokan. He just does not have an official opponent yet. It might be Iino if Pheromones win the World Hino Classic.

Things are going well again for Tetsuya Endo now he is the new DDT Universal Champion. He considers Naruki Doi a friend and wants to see him sticking around in DDT. What Endo does not like is having MAO as his first defence. However the pride of the Miyagi prefecture is on the line with Endo representing Shiroishi City and MAO representing Osaki City. This side will determine which city is the best!

Both ShunMao wrestlers have a chance of becoming double champions at the same time. Shunma Katsumata challenges Jun Akiyama for the DDT Extreme Title. It will be back to the crazy stuff for Akiyama after having such a nice, normal and relaxing match with Kotaro Suzuki.

Rayne Leverkusen is debuting for DDT in April but her only match announced so far is a singles bout against Saki Akai in May.

The insane mascot Chiitan makes its pro wrestling debut. Its presence has already driven Chris Brookes into a murderous rage so he’ll probably be involved in the match. Maybe Pokotan can be a part of it too.

Nick Wayne will be on the show making his first appearance in Japan for DDT.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2023”, 23/07/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Dramatic Dream Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs El Desperado

Turns out Daisuke Sasaki kept himself busy while he was out from injury. Instead of staying around in bed he went out, did the work and signed up a dream match for himself against El Desperado from New Japan! Desperado is an interesting figure, constantly referring to the wider pro wrestling scene in Japan on his social media. At times it looked like that was the only interactions with other wrestlers that the public would get to see. But as the scene opens up more in order to get fans back into the arenas Desperado is at the forefront of getting into matches with wrestlers outside of NJPW. In a past life he’s had a little bit of involvement in DDT related shows. He’s been part of a few Monthly Young Communication shows that happened back in 2011. Only recently Sasaki and Desperado fought each other in a tag match that ended in a DQ so there is some bad blood between the two going into this dream bout.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SE-NO, MERRY CHRISTMAS! 2022” Results

December 24, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SE-NO, MERRY CHRISTMAS! 2022”, 24/12/2022
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
335 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Kaya Toribami defeated Haruna Neko with a Crucifix Pin (6:12).
2. Pom Harajuku defeated Arisu Endo with the Pom de Justice (7:54).
3. 3 Way Match: Miu Watanabe defeated Raku and Juria Nagano when Watanabe pinned Nagano with the Tear Drop (6:08).
4. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the Famouser (8:16).
5. Hikari Noa Vs Yuki Aino ended in a Time Limit Draw (10:00).
6. TJPW Year End Special 8-Man Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki, Shoko Nakajima & Suzume defeated Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh, Hyper Misao & Moka Miyamoto when Sakazaki pinned Miyamoto after the Toy Story 4 (16:56).

Tokyo Joshi Pro closes out their 2022 with their annual Christmas show. It was the final prelim match for Yuka Sakazaki and Miyu Yamashita before the Princess Of Princess Title Match on 4th January. Sakazaki’s team came out on top. Shoko Nakajima & Suzume wiped out Maki Itoh & Hyper Misao with Planchas, then The Magical Sugar Rabbits performed Toy Story 4 with Mizuki targeting Yamashita and Sakazaki landing on Moka Miyamoto for the pinfall. Sakazaki told the fans afterwards she expects the title match to be even more exciting than their match at “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2021”. Yamashita admitted that despite being really strong, all of her moves were still read by Sakazaki. However she told everyone her aim next month is to become an international triple crown champion. She currently holds the EVE Championship from Britain, wants to win back the Princess Title in Japan and later in January will face Athena for the ROH Women’s Title at a Prestige show in America.

Hikari Noa versus Yuki Aino ended in a stalemate. Noa was able to do the Blizzard Suplex but was too beaten up to go for the pin. However she also kicked out of the Venus DDT, causing Yuki Aino to scramble for the UBV in the final seconds of their match. She couldn’t set up the move in time and the match ended in a 10 minute draw.

The Toyo Mates match began with Yuki Kamifuku ordering Mahiro Kiryu to give up straight away. She refused so Kamifuku stole her kneeling apology spot later in the match. The two continued sniping at each other while wrestling until Kamifuku won with the Famouser.

Don’t Shoot Me Santa Claus

December 23, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SE-NO, MERRY CHRISTMAS! 2022”, 24/12/2022

2. Pom Harajuku Vs Arisu Endo
3. Yuki Kamifuku Vs Mahiro Kiryu

6. TJPW Year End Special 8-Man Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki, Shoko Nakajima & Suzume Vs Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh, Hyper Misao & Moka Miyamoto

The card has been changed because of two absences. Nao Kakuta tested positive for covid and Rika Tatsumi caught a stomach bug. Both of their matches are cancelled and their opponents will now face each other. By coincidence the new match is Yuki Kamifuku Vs Mahiro Kiryu, the battle of the Toyo Mates!

GANBARE☆PRO “GIRI GIRI CHOP! 2022”, 27/12/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Munetatsu Nakamura Debut Match: Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Munetatsu Nakamura
2. GanJo x TJPW Special Tag Match: Suzume & Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs Yuki Kamifuku & YuuRI

6. Kouki Iwasaki Ganbare☆Pro Wrestling Last Match: Keisuke Ishii Vs Kouki Iwasaki
7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Hartley Jackson (c) Vs Mizuki Watase

A press conference was held during the week featuring the participants of the Ganbare☆Joshi Vs Ice Ribbon match. The visiters all spoke of their happiness to wrestle in GanJo. Yuki Mashiro in particular is excited to be part of a hot inter-promotional match before she retires on New Year’s Eve. Nao Ishikawa spoke of how her previous matches against Yuna Manase in Ice Ribbon left her frustrated. Kaho Matsushita feels proud she gets to represent her company and hopes the match will attract Ganbare☆Pro’s audience to Ice Ribbon. HARUKAZE said the Ganjo team are united by their passionate bonds and wants to deliver a great match that they will win. Moeka Haruhi described why winters have short daytimes and said their burning desire comes from the Earth being closest to the sun at this time of year. Manase is grateful to Ice Ribbon for getting to wrestle there and wonders what it would be like if she could combine the “Happy” pro wrestling of Ice Ribbon with the “Burning” pro wrestling of Ganpro.

DDT “NEVER MIND 2022”, 29/12/2022
Tokyo Dome City Hall

0. Dark Match: Hideki Okatani & Toi Kojima Vs Yuya Koroku & Kazuma Sumi
0. Dark Match: Minoru Fujita, MJ Paul & KANON Vs Masahiro Takanashi, Soma Takao & Antonio Honda
1. Sanshiro Takagi Vs Takeshi Masada
2. HARASHIMA & Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Yuji Hino & Yuki Ishida
3. Pheromones Vs “Miyako & Ward” Pheromones Subjugation Allied Forces ~ Dissolution & Pet Dogs Contra One Day Experience: Yuki “Sexy” Iino, Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari & Koju “Shining Ball” Takeda Vs Akito, Osamu Nishimura, Shinichiro Kawamatsu & Shunma Katsumata
4. Special Tag Match: Saki Akai & Yuki Arai Vs Saori Anou & Riko Kawahata
5. Special Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita & Yukio Naya Vs Daisuke Sekimoto & RSP
6. International 4 Way Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Chris Brookes Vs MAO Vs Cara Noir
7. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Chihiro Hashimoto
8. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Naruki Doi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata (c) Vs Tetsuya Endo, Kotaro Suzuki & Yusuke Okada
9. DDT Extreme Title: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs Super Sasadango Machine
10. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs Yuki Ueno

The KO-D Openweight Champion is taking things one match at a time going into the new year. Kazusada Higuchi is not thinking too far into the future until he beats Yuki Ueno next week. This will be the first time the KO-D Title will be defended in a match between former DNA wrestlers. Higuchi is deeply moved by how far he and Ueno have come from that sub-brand.

Jun Akiyama is still set on changing the DDT Extreme Title belt from purple straps to white straps. The purple colour reminds him of bitter memories. Changing it to white will remind people of the GHC Hardcore Title. He originally created that belt in 2004 to provoke Kenta Kobashi, who held the GHC Heavyweight Title at the time. It was made white to represent the idea that the title would be dyed in the champion’s colours and white is Akiyama’s colour.

DDT “HATSUYUME 2023”, 03/01/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno Vs Akito & Antonio Honda
2. Makoto Oishi & Shiori Asahi Vs Hideki Okatani & Toi Kojima
3. New Year Special 8-Man Tag Match: Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata, Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya Vs Shinshun Pokotan, Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai & Kazuma Sumi
4. Special 10-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, HARASHIMA, RSP, Soma Takao & Yuki Ishida Vs Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama, Kotaro Suzuki, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku
5. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Cara Noir Vs MJ Paul & KANON
6. Special Single Match: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Takeshi Masada
7. DDT Universal Title Next Challenger Decision Battle: Naruki Doi Vs Daisuke Sasaki
8. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi Vs MAO & Shunma Katsumata

The man who was once called “The Future” is taking on the next DDT wrestler who is being described with that label. Takeshi Masada still has a long way to go and can learn plenty wrestling against Konosuke Takeshita.

Former opponents Yuki Ueno & Cara Noir now get to be tag partners.

With the addition of Kotaro Suzuki to the unit, all five members of BURNING are teaming together in one match for the first time.

The undercard matches may change if Pheromones are forced to disband on 29th December.

DDT “ALL SEATS ARE 3,000 YEN! DDT NEW YEAR PRO WRESTLING FESTIVAL!”, 05/01/2023
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

1. Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno Vs HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda
2. 3 Way Tag Match: Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Daisuke Sasaki & KANON Vs Yukio Naya & Yusuke Okada
3. Yuki Ueno & Yuya Koroku Vs Makoto Oishi & Ilusion
4. MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Toi Kojima & Kazuma Sumi
5. New Year Special Challenge Match I: Tetsuya Endo Vs Hideki Okatani
6. New Year Special Challenge Match II: Chris Brookes Vs Takeshi Masada
7. New Year Special Challenge Match III: Kazusada Higuchi Vs Yuki Ishida

Current DDT against future DDT is the theme used again a few days later. Harimao collides when Higuchi takes on Yuki Ishida. Higuchi has put it upon himself to raise Ishida on his own while Naomi Yoshimura is injured. Masada faces his pro wrestling “dad” Chris Brookes and Tetsuya Endo puts Hideki Okatani through his paces. If that’s not enough, Toi Kojima & Kazuma Sumi test their mettle against ShunMao.

There will be an autograph session at the show with Takeshita and Jun Akiyama among the guests.

Again, Pheromones splitting up may change around the card a little bit.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT WINTER ~KOBE PERFORMANCE~”, 07/01/2023
Kobe Art Center

1. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Pom Harajuku Vs Max The Impaler, Heidi Howitzer & Trish Adora

Okayama Convention Center

2. Jun Akiyama & Toru Owashi Vs Yukio Naya & Takeshi Masada
3. Special Challenge Match: Tetsuya Endo Vs Yuya Koroku

BURNING has some friendly competition taking place within it. Yuya Koroku has challenged Endo to a match!

Once more, the card can change if Pheromones splits up.

Tomorrow’s show is headlined by Harimao & Chris Brookes taking on Ω.

Takashimadaira Ward Community Center

1. Ryota Nakatsu Vs Yuko Miyamoto

The complete card for tomorrow’s BASARA show will not be revealed until it begins. The only match advertised going into it is Ryota Nakatsu versus guest wrestler Yuko Miyamoto. The usual roster of regulars will be there too.

DDT “ROAD TO NEVER MIND 2022 IN FUKUOKA”, 18/12/2022
Pivole Fukuoka

1. Sanshiro Takagi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Saki Akai & Toi Kojima
2. Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno Vs Akito & MAO
3. Daisuke Sasaki & KANON Vs Yuya Koroku & Kazuma Sumi

Harimao and The 37KAMIINA clash again so Kazusada Higuchi and Yuki Ueno get more ring time together.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SE-NO, MERRY CHRISTMAS! 2022”, 24/12/2022
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Haruna Neko Vs Kaya Toribami
2. Pom Harajuku Vs Arisu Endo
3. Rika Tatsumi Vs Mahiro Kiryu
4. Hikari Noa Vs Yuki Aino
5. Yuki Kamifuku Vs Nao Kakuta
6. 3 Way Match: Miu Watanabe Vs Raku Vs Juria Nagano
7. TJPW Year End Special 8-Man Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki, Shoko Nakajima & Suzume Vs Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh, Hyper Misao & Moka Miyamoto

Every match but the main event was put together by a fan lottery during yesterday’s show. The singles matches all have 10 minute time limits. I’m surprised it took random chance for Haruna Neko Vs Kaya Toribami to finally happen. Cat Vs Bird is so obvious! One of them might actually win too.

DDT “HATSUYUME 2023”, 03/01/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Universal Title Next Challenger Decision Battle: Naruki Doi Vs Daisuke Sasaki
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi Vs MAO & Shunma Katsumata

Either CDK or ShunMao will become the next KO-D Tag Team Champions. CDK can start the new year adding another championship to their growing collection of tag team achievements. Masahiro Takanashi also wants the win to kick off his goal of regularly appearing on DDT shows for the entirety of 2023. MAO & Shunma Katsumata have plenty of history with their opponents in plenty of ways. Beating them to take the vacant Tag Titles will make up for all of the times they lost to them.

Daisuke Sasaki has so many grudges and conflicts going on I’m starting to lose track. He has a tag match against El Desperado coming up next week then in January he has a first time singles match against Naruki Doi. The winner gets a DDT Universal Title shot later that month. Sasaki is fed up with Dragongate wrestlers coming over to DDT to the point where he can’t tell them apart anymore (he first thought Doi was Masato Yoshino). He will be even more annoyed if a DG wrestler ends up beating Ueno for the Universal Title before he can. Doi believes he deserves this opportunity because of how much success he already gained during his brief time in DDT.

Cara Noir will be on the show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’23”, 04/01/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. HIMAWARI Debut Match: HIMAWARI Vs X
2. Wakana Uehara Debut Match: Wakana Uehara Vs X
3. International Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Trish Adora
4. Princess Tag Team Titles: Saki Akai & Yuki Arai (c) Vs Max The Impaler & Heidi Howitzer
5. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

Two new women will make their pro wrestling debuts at the Ittenyon show, even though they already wrestled matches already. Wakana Uehara had a match in October for the Yume Pro Wrestling -dream on the ring- project and liked it so much she decided to move ahead with starting a wrestling career. She is from Kanagawa and was born on 13th May, 1996. She is 163cm tall. Her atheltic history includes cheerleading, swimming, kickboxing, dance and ballet.

HIMAWARI became a Tokyo Joshi Pro trainee in November. She previously performed with Actwres girl’Z, wrestling two matches for them in August before suddenly leaving the group at the end of October. She is from Tokyo and was born on 18th December, 1997. She is 155cm tall.

Shinjuku FACE

1. DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Winner Of 3/1 Decision Match

GANBARE☆PRO “GIRI GIRI CHOP! 2022”, 27/12/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Sotatsu Nakamura Debut Match: Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Sotatsu Nakamura
2. GanJo x TJPW Special Tag Match: Suzume & Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs Yuki Kamifuku & YuuRI

6. Kouki Iwasaki Ganbare☆Pro Wrestling Last Match: Keisuke Ishii Vs Kouki Iwasaki
7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Hartley Jackson (c) Vs Mizuki Watase

Kouki Iwasaki credits Keisuke Ishii’s knowledge of pro wrestling for helping him gain confidence over the years. For example, Ishii can remember off the top of his head he has a record of 3 wins and one draw against Iwasaki in singles matches. He also has fond memories of them challenging for the GHC Jr. Tag Team Titles together back in 2018. Iwasaki wants to repay that kindness and is open to continue teaming with Ishii around the wrestling scene. Ishii identifies that this match is not just happening to give Iwasaki one last happy memory when he leaves Ganbare☆Pro. Iwasaki is looking to win and create momentum for himself when he steps out into the world. Ishii thinks the last year in Ganpro has been competitive within the roster and he wants to show he can be also competitive going into 2023.

A trio from Ice Ribbon are coming over to face Ganbare☆Joshi. It is a special match for Yuki Mashiro in particular because she will be retiring from pro wrestling a few day’s later on New Year’s Eve. Nao Ishikawa & Kaho Matsushita have been recent opponents of Yuna Manase in Ice Ribbon too.

When Yumehito Imanari is in DDT, he is part of Pheromones. But in his home promotion he is his own man! He is ditching the bowtie to fight against his pervert friends Yuki Iino & Danshoku Dieno with Ken Ohka along to help him.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN TOUR ’22” Results

November 6, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN TOUR ’22”, 06/11/2022
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
312 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Hikari Noa defeated Kaya Toribami with the Blizzard Suplex (6:47).
2. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Pom Harajuku with the Famouser (8:42).
3. Yuki Aino & Raku defeated Moka Miyamoto & Arisu Endo when Aino pinned Endo with the Venus DDT (9:27).
4. Rika Tatsumi defeated Haruna Neko with the Running Hip Attack (10:41).
5. Shoko Nakajima & Willow Nightingale defeated Miu Watanabe & Suzume when Nightingale pinned Suzume with the Gutwrench Power Bomb (12:47).
6. Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh & Hyper Misao defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Mahiro Kiryu when Misao pinned Kiryu with the Hypami Returns (15:16).

Next weekend Miyu Yamashita and Hyper Misao are travelling over to England to wrestle at EVE’s big “WRESTLE QUEENDOM V” doubleshot. Both of them have chances to win an EVE championship too. It will be the first time Misao will wrestle overseas so she is very excited. So much so she appeared in the main event dressed as Harry Potter carrying a UK flag while pulling along her luggage. She also did some of her pre-match speech in English so she can still be effective on the microphone over there. Yamashita, Misao & Maki Itoh won in the main event, giving Misao peace of mind before she goes on her trip. She said wrestlers from Tokyo Joshi Pro are getting invited to promotions overseas more often because of the fan support motivating them to put on good shows.

Willow Nightingale’s first tour of TJPW ends today but there is a path opening up for her to return. She was originally meant to face Miu Watanabe back in July and the match has yet to be rescheduled. Since Watanabe is currently the International Princess Champion, Nightingale likes the idea of challenging her for the title so their match can finally happen. Watanabe welcomes the idea too.

A trainee named Himawari is the latest addition to the rookie class that contains Shino, Haru & Momo. Himawari previously appeared on a few Actwres girl’Z shows under the name Himawari Sato and is currently training for her full pro wrestling debut. Her appearance and current name caught the attention online of another former “Himawari” who used to wrestle in TJPW…

Here are a few wrestler predictions for who will win the tournament. Kenta Kobashi picks Naomi Yoshimura, Jun Akiyama picks Tetsuya Endo, Masato Tanaka picks Yuji Hino and Shuji Ishikawa picks Yukio Naya.

Having just wrestled in Osaka, Willow Nightingale moves on to Tokyo for the remainder of her brief excursion to Japan. Miu Watanabe already said she is looking for a foreign opponent to defend the International Princess Title against in her bid to break the defence record. Maybe Nightingale is just the woman she is looking for?

This will be Miyu Yamashita & Hyper Misao’s last match before they travel to England next week. They will be over there wrestling on a few EVE shows.

Nao Kakuta will be missing a few Tokyo Joshi Pro shows this month because she is busy performing on stage.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN TOUR ’22” Results

September 24, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN TOUR ’22”, 24/09/2022
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
219 Fans

1. Suzume defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Ring A Bell (6:54).
2. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Kaya Toribami with the Famouser (9:17).
3. Nao Kakuta defeated Haruna Neko with the Shiden Kai (8:38).

5. Shoko Nakajima, Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Yuki Aino defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki, Raku & Pom Harajuku when Nakajima pinned Harajuku with the Northern Lights Suplex (18:23).

Today was the final Tokyo Joshi Pro show before “WRESTLE PRINCESS III” takes place on 9th October. Before the show began a contract signing took place with Shoko Nakajima and Yuka Sakazaki for their Princess Of Princess Title match. Sakazaki said the match was set up during a turning point for TJPW and it is destiny for it to happen again. She thinks her title matches with Nakajima always raise the bar so it is up to them to keep meeting the rising expectations. Nakajima brought up that TJPW will soon be reaching its 10th year of running shows. She wants to keep the Princess Title going into this period. She also made it her goal to be in another Princess Title match at Sumo Hall. The two then talked about how much they have grown since their last title match at “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022”. They were also asked about the younger wrestlers, particularly Miu Watanabe and Yuki Arai because they are both in title matches on the big show.

Later in the day Nakajima and Sakazaki faced off in the main event 8-Woman Tag Match. Nakajima ended up getting her hand raised by pinning Pom Harajuku with the Northern Lights Suplex. After the match Nakajima told Sakazaki she won’t lose to her in two weeks time. Sakazaki didn’t want to say much in response other than the time has finally come and she will see Nakajima at the match. Nakajima then called in the rest of the roster to enter the ring. Everyone gathered together and promised to give 100% of their strength to make “WRESTLE PRINCESS III” a success.

Hyper Misao tested positive for covid and was pulled off the show. The card was changed around because of it. There was no heavy contact with other members of the roster.

6. DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Cara Noir
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs Konosuke Takeshita

A press conference was held earlier today featuring the participants of the two title matches. Konosuke Takeshita announced he is returning to America in October so his goal for Sunday is to win the KO-D Openweight Title and bring it with him to AEW. He does not believe Kazusada Higuchi’s claim that a new wind is blowing through DDT. Higuchi disagrees and thinks the KO-D Title has already taken a new form that will not change back if Takeshita wins it off him and takes it abroad. Win or lose, this is the match Higuchi has been looking for.

Nobody was able to get a word out of Cara Noir during the press conference. Even Yuki Ueno tried to make him speak by asking him questions in English but Noir stayed silent throughout. However his physical gestures made it clear he wants to beat Ueno and become the new DDT Universal Champion. Ueno hopes that if he can successfully defend the title it will open the door to him having a title defence in the United Kingdom. He also wants to defend the belt in Thailand to live up to a promise that Masahiro Takanashi made when he was the champion.

The full line-up of this year’s D-Ou Grand Prix tournament will be revealed during the show.
