So let’s get this straight. Yuka Sakazaki graduated from TJPW in December, hasn’t wrestled a match anywhere else since for whatever reason and is now going to make a special appearance to compete at “GRAND PRINCESS ’24”? Yeah, beats me what’s going on or what she will do there. Mizuki wants to team with her again and is scared over the idea it won’t happen. Sakazaki helped train Juria Nagano so she can say goodbye to her there. What if Sakazaki wants to get in the ring with Masha Slamovich again? Or maybe she wants to fight Andreza Giant Panda while she still has the chance.

After getting a diagnosis, Kazuma Sumi’s left knee injury turned out to be a torn MCL. He will be taking time off to recover until 17th March. Ilusion takes his place on Sunday’s show.

Last January DDT created the No Gamble Rumble, an open audition for wrestlers of all shape and sizes to compete in a Battle Royal. The only condition was the entrants had to volunteer without getting paid. Those who passed would get future bookings with DDT. Tsutenkakka and Tsubasa Suzuki were the two names plucked from last year’s match who passed the audition. It doesn’t matter if the wrestlers are independent, amateur, from the college club scene or even just an ordinary person with no prior experience. All can apply to take part. This year Sanshiro Takagi, Akito & Toru Owashi will be the selection committee as well as part of the match itself to put the participants through their paces.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’24”, 31/03/2024

2. Aja Kong & Max The Impaler Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
3. Special Single Match: Minoru Suzuki Vs Maki Itoh
4. International Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku
5. Princess Tag Team Titles: Ryo Mizunami & Yuki Aino (c) Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo
6. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Miu Watanabe
Today Tokyo Joshi Pro announced the pro wrestling debut of former AKB48 idol Ami Yumoto will take place at “GRAND PRINCESS ’24”. The match will feature Yumoto teaming up with Nao Kakuta against opponents to be revealed at a later date. Tetsuya Koda has not decided yet if it will be a regular tag team match or a 6-Woman Tag. Yumoto is a 15th generation member of AKB48 who joined in 2013 and only just graduated from the group last August. She has a previous wrestling connection through AK48. Back when Tofu Pro Wrestling was around she took part in the shows under the ring name Komanechi Yumoto. Since graduating from the group she co-starred in the same stage play Kakuta was a part of back in December, which explains how we got here. The two got along and began to talk about wrestling to each other. Kakuta then invited Yumoto to come try out wrestling again, this time for TJPW. When Kakuta discovered TJPW she ended up falling in love with the company and wants Yumoto to go through a similar experience.
It’s been six years since Tofu Pro existed so Yumoto has pretty much started her training again from scratch. She understands the difference between the training she did back then to compete against other idols and the training needed now to compete against pro wrestlers. Kakuta heard Yumoto is acrobatic and believes she has a lot of hidden potential. Fans of Yumoto are going to see a side of her they’ve never seen before. When Yumoto did Tofu Pro she was impressed with how pro wrestling works. She thinks it would be great if she gets to stand in the middle of the ring and give courage out to the audience. Her family is supportive of her decision but none of the idols from AKB48 knew about this. They’re going to find out when everyone else does!
There is already someone else from Tofu Pro who is part of TJPW, Yuki Arai! She went under the name Bubbly Arai back then. Yumoto has a lot of respect for Arai as both a champion and as her senior. However she knows she is not anywhere near her level yet so she isn’t even thinking about wrestling her anytime soon. In fact, no decision has been made yet of Yumoto wrestling more matches after her debut because she has a busy schedule up until the summer. She would however like to juggle her idol career with a pro wrestling career if it is possible.

Yesterday DDT announced they terminated the contract of their ring announcer Ken Kato. Their reasoning was Kato made inappropriate comments on social media and showed no remorse over them when was given a stern warning. DDT then fired him because his behaviour was seen as a breach of contract. The weird thing about this story is very few people online seem to know what it was Kato did to get into trouble. His profile is already scrubbed from the DDT site and his Twitter account is gone. There is a streaming site he also has an account with but nobody outside the company has been able to find out what he did or where it happened. Whatever it was, DDT does not condone it and are putting changes in place for their wrestlers and staff to avoid this from happening again.

Today Maki Itoh visited the Piledriver clothing shop in Harajuku hoping to see Minoru Suzuki. The reason for this was so Itoh could ask Suzuki to team up with her at “GRAND PRINCESS ’24”. Her selling point was the cutest person in the world joining forces with the worst personality in the world again. They have been on the same team once before in DDT back in December 2022. It created buzz back then and still gets attention today so Itoh wanted to team with Suzuki again. However Suzuki came up with an even more buzzworthy idea. He and Itoh should fight each other on the show in a singles match! Itoh was left speechless by the suggestion but regained her composure and accepted the challenge. She promised to end Suzuki’s legendary career in Sumo Hall! Suzuki shrugged her off, telling Itoh her wrestling career is the size of his little finger by comparison.

A Great Kaiju War has been added to “GRAND PRINCESS ’24” and it might be too much for Kyoraku Kyomei to handle. It will be up to Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao to withstand the combined threat of Aja Kong & Max The Impaler. That’s right, Kong & Max are teaming up! Tokyo Joshi Pro describes the pairing as “Super Miracle Beast Power Combination” of the Reiwa era! Are they going to be as uncontrollable a tag team as Stan Hansen & Bruiser Brody were?

Shinjuku FACE
1. Hideki Okatani, Yuni & Ilusion Vs Takeshi Masada, Kazuma Sumi & Rukiya
2. Yakushiyu Presents ~DDT Sauna Club Vs DDT Open Bath Club~: Kazuki Hirata & Tonttu Naya Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Makoto Oishi

5. Hokuoh Presents ~Toy Kojima’s Sauna Room~: Toy Kojima Vs Masato Tanaka
6. KO-D Openweight Title ~Naniwa Kenko Land-Yu Presents Yuki Ueno’s Sauna Room~: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Danshoku Dieno
History shows every time MAO and Chris Brookes are in the same match together they end up fighting each other out of the ring and a Countout result becomes inevitable. A fed up Yukinori Matsui said changing the countout to ten, five or even three seconds is enough to solve the problem. But when MAO and Brookes heard him say a three second countout they fell in love with the idea and want their match tomorrow to follow that rule. Since The 37KAMIINA are in charge of tomorrow’s show, the rule is going to be used.
Toy Kojima will be wrestling under a new name for his match against Masato Tanaka. He wants to fight against the unknown and change himself because he sees tomorrow as a new beginning for The 37KAMIINA.
Most of the matches will have sponsored prizes on the line given to the winners.

5. Union MAX Title: Minoru Fujita (c) Vs Takato Nakano
Kengo Mashimo from 2AW pays another visit to BASARA. This time around he is being kept away from Isami Kodaka. Instead he’s coming over to fight Lil’ Kraken.
I can’t even guess what kind of mystery wrestler Daichi Kazato would go out and find to team with him.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “BEAT POWER ’24”, 24/02/2024

It’s champions versus challengers in a big preview for Sumo Hall one month later! Miyu Yamashita and Ryo Mizunami just had their first match together over the weekend. They were opponents there and this time they are on the same side. Miu Watanabe has to swallow a little bit of her pride because she is teaming with Daisy Monkey, the team that just beat Daydream to win the Max Heart Tournament.
Maki Itoh returns to the ring back in fighting form.
We got the announcement of Kirra and Uta making their debuts soon. Those keeping track may have noticed there is another trainee from that class who seemed to be left out. Well it turns out she is going to debut soon too, even sooner in fact. Chika will have her first match just over a week before Kirra and Uta will. Moka Miyamoto will be her opponent.
This will be Juria Nagano’s final match in Osaka before her graduation from Tokyo Joshi Pro.

2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Ryo Mizunami & Yuki Aino (c) Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Miu Watanabe
After so much struggle, Daisy Monkey are about to finally reach the top of TJPW’s tag division. All they have to do now is beat Yukiniki for the Princess Tag Team Titles. It will be Mizunami & Yuki Aino’s first defence so they will not want to lose the belts so quickly.
A glamorous fight for the International Princess Title has been put together. Yuki Arai was challenged by Yuki Kamifuku, who is looking to become a double champion. Would the IP Title look that nice next to the Queen Of Asia Title?

Tomorrow we bid farewell to the wrestling career of Yukio Sakaguchi.
Yesterday Hideki Okatani put out a message asking for his match against MJ Paul to be turned into a Hardcore Match. Paul sent a letter via courier to the DDT office that was simply a large, bloody “OK” smeared on the page. Challenge accepted.
There will be contract signings for the upcoming KO-D Openweight Title and DDT Universal Title matches held before this show begins.

A conflict has suddenly broken out between the DDT Sauna Club and the DDT Open Bath Club. Although Kazuki Hirata declined to join The 37KAMIINA, he still gets to participate in the Sauna Club away from matches. While heading out to a riverbed one day Hirata confronted Kazusada Higuchi & Makoto Oishi from the Open Bath Club and an argument broke out between them. Hirata found himself outnumbered when all of a sudden somebody who looked like Yukio Naya showed up to protect him. That being is Naya Tonttu, the mythical guardian of the DDT Sauna Club! Hirata convinced him to team up against the Open Bath Club at The 37KAMIINA’s sold out show next week.

7. Kaisei Takechi Debut Match ~ Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & Kaisei Takechi Vs Tetsuya Endo, Hideki Okatani & Takeshi Masada
Kaisei Takechi is responsible for selling out the show so no question he gets the main event slot.
So it looks like Hirata got Naruki Doi on board to join his new unit. He isn’t the only one though because Hirata is teasing another addition will be revealed at Korakuen Hall. Is he going for something Dragon System flavored as the unit’s theme I wonder?

6. Nagano Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Toru Owashi & Yoshihiko Vs Danshoku Dieno, Makoto Oishi & Tetsuya Endo
It’s a little bit of an ALL OUT reunion when Yuki Iino & Akito get to team up without any traces of Pheromones to worry about.
DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2024 TOUR IN SHINJUKU”, 07/02/2024
Shinjuku FACE
1. Kazuki Hirata & Danshoku Dieno Vs Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi

4. Yukio Sakaguchi Retirement Match: Yukio Sakaguchi Vs HARASHIMA

The next match in the DDT Vs AJPW series has Takeshi Masada & Rukiya chosen for the home team to take on Ryuki Honda & Yuma Anzai. Honda has a tendency to choke his opponents on the ropes and count along with the referee until he stops to reset the count and repeats the spot. Will the DDT fans count along with him?

Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
1. IRON FIST Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs KUBITO & Yasu Urano
Two students of Dick Togo have decided to go after the IRON FIST Tag Team Titles. Both KUBITO & Yasu Urano have held the titles before but not with each other. The champions Harimao are starting to find targets on their backs because Aijin Tag are starting to make noise about wanting a title shot too.

DDT “NEPPA OVER FLOWERS 3 ~TOTONOI TO YOU~”, 14/02/2024
Shinjuku FACE
1. Hideki Okatani, Yuni & Ilusion Vs Takeshi Masada, Kazuma Sumi & Rukiya
2. ~Kazuki Hirata’s Sauna Room?~: Kazuki Hirata Vs Makoto Oishi Vs Kazusada Higuchi Vs Yukio Naya
3. ~Toy Kojima’s Sauna Room~: Toy Kojima Vs Masato Tanaka
4. ~Shunma Katsumata’s Sauna Room~: Shunma Katsumata Vs Kuroshio TOKYO Japan
5. ~Mao Inoue’s Sauna Room~: MAO Vs Chris Brookes
6. ~Yuki Ueno’s Sauna Room~: Yuki Ueno Vs Danshoku Dieno
Every member of The 37KAMIINA has booked their own match for the unit’s next self-produced show. Yuki Ueno is facing Danshoku Dieno in the main event, MAO gets to fight Chris Brookes again, Shunma Katsumata is inviting Kuroshio TOKYO Japan over and Toy Kojima’s return match from injury will be against Masato Tanaka! Even Kazuki Hirata gets a match for himself as he tries to gain membership into the group. Having to fight in a free-for-all against Makoto Oishi, Kazusada Higuchi and Yukio Naya suggests he may not have had a say in what his match would be.
GANBARE☆PRO “GANPRO 2024 DESIRE”, 23/02/2024
Yokohama Radiant Hall
1. EVE International Title: Yuu (c) Vs Yoshiko Hasegawa
2. Yuna Manase Return Match: Yuna Manase Vs X
3. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Shuichiro Katsumura (c) Vs Takuya Wada
It has not been confirmed yet but Yuna Manase has challenged Sayaka Unagi to a Mixed Tag Match for Manase’s return to the ring. Manase already has already chosen her tag partner and wants to see who Unagi will find. The two women fought each other at the first “WRESTLE SEKIGAHARA” in 2022. Unagi won that match and Manase holds no grudge over it. In fact she made it publicly known that Unagi was often one of the first people to get in touch with her for almost every step of the way in her recovery process. Their friendship is why Unagi was always going to be Manase’s opponent for her first match back.
A big title challenge is coming up for Yoshiko Hasegawa. She has teamed with and fought against Yuu over in Ganbare☆Joshi recently and the EVE International Title that Yuu carries around has caught her eye. This will be her first championship match. Hasegawa had wanted it to happen at the next GanJo show on 12th February but Yuu is already booked for Sendai Girls that day. So the match will take place in GanPro a little later on the 23rd instead.
DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2024 TOUR IN YOKOHAMA”, 23/02/2024
Yokohama Radiant Hall
1. KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi, Antonio Honda, Takeshi Masada & Mecha Mummy (c) Vs Maya Yukihi, Ram Kaichow, Rina Yamashita, Sanshiro Takagi & Akito
During the week Maya Yukihi discovered the existence of the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles and wanted to fight for the belts with other members of Rebel X Enemy. The group normally consists of four members but Maika Ozaki is unavailable so Yukihi needed to find two more people to team with herself, Ram Kaichow & Rina Yamashita. Luckily for her the DDT management are stepping in to help out. Sanshiro Takagi & Akito have agreed to join the challenger team and since Kaichow is also sometimes nicknamed “Chairman” the alliance has been named Executive X Enemy. Meanwhile the champion team is subbing in Chris Brookes for Takayuki Ueki. As long as at least three members of the champion team are in the match the title shot can go ahead.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’24”, 31/03/2024

2. Raku Vs Shino Suzuki
3. Suzume & Arisu Endo Vs Kaya Toribami & Toga

6. Miyu Yamashita, Mizuki & Nao Kakuta Vs Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Pom Harajuku
An emergency decision was made by Tokyo Joshi Pro to book Ryo Mizunami for this Saturday’s show. There should be more appearances to come for her while she holds the Princess Tag Team Titles with Yuki Aino.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR 2024 ~YUKI’S HOMETOWN IS OKAYAMA!~”, 14/01/2024

Sadly Mizunami will not be at the show in Aino’s hometown the next day.
DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2024”, 28/01/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. MAO Birthday Commemorative Match: MAO & TAKA Michinoku Vs X & X
2. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Naruki Doi
3. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles – DEAD OR ALIVE Contra DEAD OR ALIVE: Jun Akiyama, Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi (c) Vs Hikaru Sato, Kazusada Higuchi & Ryo Kawamura
4. DDT Extreme Title: Kazuki Hirata (c) Vs Shunma Katsumata
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Yukio Naya
I’m starting to think D.O.A coming up with that name for themselves was a bad idea. The phrase “Dead Or Alive” is so common that there are plenty of wrestlers out there who claim they used it first. After the unit dealt with Bodyguard’s complaints they then found out Hikaru Sato is upset with them because he thinks they stole his catchphrase. Sato sent Kazusada Higuchi to tell them they should defend both the name and the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles against them. Sato & Higuchi will be joined by Ryo Kawamura. The previous times Kawamura has appeared in DDT he’s been using different Sylvester Stallone gimmicks (Rocky Kawamura, Rambo Kawamura, Rocky Kawamura II, etc). He might be coming back just as himself this time.
The birthday match for MAO is a special one because he gets to team with TAKA Michinoku for the first time ever! Michinoku has been a big influence for him over the years and has inspired a lot of his moveset.
GANBARE☆PRO “GANPRO 2024 DESIRE”, 23/02/2024
Yokohama Radiant Hall
1. Yuna Manase Return Match: Yuna Manase Vs X
2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Shuichiro Katsumura (c) Vs Takuya Wada
The new king of Ganbare☆Pro has decided to defend the Spirit Of Ganbare Title against his own tag team partner. Over the weekend Shuichiro Katsumura defended both of his championships, including the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles he holds with Takuya Wada. With nobody stepping up to challenge him for either title Katsumura suggested he and Wada fight each other while they wait for new opponents to emerge. The title match will happen in Katsumura’s hometown of Yokohama.
DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2024”, 25/02/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Kaisei Takechi Debut Match: Kaisei Takechi Vs X
Currently all tickets for this show has sold out so DDT will be adding additional seating to go on sale later this week. That’s how much of a hot ticket Kaisei Takechi’s debut match is. Takechi has a black belt in Judo and has been coached by Yuki Ueno in training. For that reason Takechi would like to team with Ueno for his first match. The 25 year old also wants to face opponents who are in the same age range as him because competition within the young generation is going to liven up the wrestling world. He cannot commit to a full match schedule due to his work with THE RAMPAGE but he would like to wrestle more after his debut. He currently weighs 77kg but feels his body as it is now is only built for dancing. So he is bulking up and aims to weigh in at 85kg for the match. Takechi is also trying to figure out what wrestling move he wants to use as his signature. When he dances he often raises his right fist into the air and shouts “THE RAMPAGE” so he wants to come up with something that will follow that.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’24”, 31/03/2024
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan
1. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Miu Watanabe
The main event for Sumo Hall is a rematch from the Tokyo Princess Cup 2022 Semi Final. Miu Watanabe defeated Miyu Yamashita in what has been their last singles match together until now. Next time will be in the main event of Sumo Hall for the Princess Of Princess Title!
BASARA/TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GAISEN SAKURA PRO WRESTLING”, 14/04/2024
Okayama Shinjo Village Outdoor Ring
A free outdoor pro wrestling show is being put together by Ryuichi Sekine and Nodoka Tenma in a little village found on the northwest side of Okayama. The couple run a farm together in Shinjo Village and want people to get to know the area better. So they have come up with Gaisen Sakura Pro Wrestling an event built around agriculture, food and wrestling. The wrestling portion of the event will be split into two parts. One part will be a men’s wrestling show featuring talent from BASARA. The other part with be a women’s show with TJPW involved. If the event is a success then the plan will be to make it an annual tradition held every April when the cherry blossoms are in bloom.
