Tomorrow’s Tokyo Joshi Pro show has a few changes to the undercard because both Hyper Misao and Arisu Endo are too injured to take part.

Misao hasn’t said what her injury is other than she needs some rest. Raku will now face Mifu Ashida in the singles match while Sakura Hattori hops over to the other corner to be Suzume’s tag partner for Match #4.

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

4. Takumi Tsukamoto & Takeru Inoue Vs Isami Kodaka & FUMA

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?

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.

Today’s double header in Shinjuku FACE is the chance for DDT and Tokyo Joshi Pro to say their goodbyes to the venue as part of the Shinjuku FACE Countdown Series. TJPW were up first with their go home show for “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII”. It is here that Suzume scored a clean and direct pinfall over Yuki Arai while Arisu Endo got a boost in confidence going up against Miyu Yamashita. It helps that Daisy Monkey has the better experience with tagging together than Arai & Yamashita do. Yamashita accidentaly got Arai with a High Kick and Daisy Monkey took advantage, isolating Arai until Suzume could pin her with the Ring A Bell. Afterward Suzume praised Arai for being strong but also said she now found the path to beating her for the Princess Of Princess Title. Arai accepts that she still has room to grow stronger and she will be the one still standing next week. Yamashita on the other hand is having lots of fun wrestling Endo and can’t help but get excited just from seeing the smile on Endo’s face. Endo told her she will give Yamashita goosebumps in their EVE International Title match.

Daydream seems to have gotten over their relationship trouble and are now back on the same page. There was still tension between Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi at the start of their match, particularly when it came to who wanted fight Chika Nanase more. But Daydream got back in sync to stop an attack from Yuki Aino and hugged each other to show their problems are now water under the bridge. Sakura Hattori did her part to set Daydream up for the victory too. Tatsumi says the team’s bond has grown stronger and nobody can break it now. Aino told Haru Kazashiro they need to go do some serious training at a particular place if they want to beat Daydream next week. When Tatsumi heard that she said there is not enough time left for Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed to get strong enough.

The final singles match between Yuki Kamifuku and Wakana Uehara got a bit heated at the beginning. Uehara blocked an Eye Poke attempt from Kamifuku. Then when she offered out her hands for a handshake, Kamifuku slapped her across the face instead. Uehara tried using the Banana Pillow to win and even got to move Kamiyu back to the centre of the ring. But Kamiyu fought for the rope break, avoided the Sushi Tornado and won the match with the Diving Famouser. After the match she approached Uehara for a hug only to push her away and give her the middle fingers Stone Cold style. Backstage she admitted she’s been keeping her distance from Uehara ever since Ober Eats lost the Princess Tag Team Titles. It was all to make Uehara learn how to stand on her own two feet. She compares it to a lion pushing its cub out of the den and she is glad to see Uehara is growing without her. Uehara said she is now really fired up for her and Toga to fight VENYU next week.

Match #4 featured all of the active TJPW wrestlers who made their debuts in Shinjuku FACE. Both teams agreed to add a special rule to the match for the occasion. A wrestler would have to shout out their love for Shinjuku FACE or something they like about the venue before applying a pin in order for it to count. A wrestler could do the same while they are trapped in a submission hold to get out of it as if it was a rope break. During the match Uta Takami said you can the the ring from anywhere in the room and they also sell delicious ice cream. Mahiro Kiryu apologised for the weird rules before saying the venue is packed with pro wrestling history. Kira Summer praised the staff for working hard to explain things to her in English. Shino Suzuki said it is a warm venue and very welcoming even if you forget your wrestling costume. Kiryu told a story about having her debut here in front of friends and family but Suzuki cut her off because it was too long. Hyper Misao brought up that she cut a promo in her debut match here and that’s why she is still here today. It was also where Misao suddenly declared her retirement then changed her mind so the six wrestlers agreed to pause the match and “graduate” from Shinjuku FACE by bowing together in gratitude for the staff and everything else in the building. Misao then shouted that she loves Shinjuku FACE and went on to pin Summer for the victory.

Before the 3 Way Match began, Pom Harajuku stole both Mizuki’s Pico Pico Hammer and Raku’s pillow. She laid both in the middle of the ring and challenged the two to play a Hit And Cover version of Rock Paper Scissors where the winner gets to grab their weapon and hit the loser with it. Mizuki and Raku got annoyed with the game and both decided to hit Harajuku with their weapons instead. There was also a point Harajuku had both of her shoes taken off as well as one of Raku’s. Everyone then tried to fight each other armed with one shoe each.

The entire locker room gathered together at the end of the show. Yamashita said getting to Shinjuku FACE was the first goal TJPW wanted to accomplish in their early years. Back then there wasn’t as many roster members or fans in the audience but over time TJPW grew and is now able to sell out their shows. Yamashita believes Shinjuku FACE played a huge role in making TJPW what it is today and it is sad to see the venue go away.

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.

10. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Suzume

The Kanda Myojin temple has been a busy location regarding Tokyo Joshi Pro this week. TJPW held a press conference there yesterday to promote three of the title matches taking place at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII” next month. Suzume said TJPW has taught her that she can pursue as many dreams as she wants no matter her age which is why she is greedy enough to challenge for the Princess Of Princess Title while also holding the International Princess Title. She thinks back to when she and Yuki Arai were younger. While Arai was performing on stage as a shining idol, Suzume was a shut in doing nothing but giving up on her dreams. Now the two will fight each other over the same dream and Suzume believes they will have the best match at EBARA WAVE Arena on 3rd October. Arai is so impressed by how much Suzume has grown not just in strength but also radiating with confidence. Arai admits she cannot match that drive but she will be entering the match as if she is the one challenging Suzume, not the other way around. Her goal is not to stop Suzume’s momentum or halt her progress. Instead she wants to create a new whirlwind that will propel herself even higher than Suzume!

One half of Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed is having a crisis of confidence heading into the Princess Tag Team Titles match. The prelim matches have made Haru Kazashiro consider that she is not on Daydream’s level and her own weaknesses have been exposed too much. Yuki Aino had to interrupt and motivate her, reminding Kazashiro of the Kamen Rider Hibiki episode where it is said that if you do not train your heart to be strong then you will lose. Kazashiro also remembers a quote from Kamen Rider Ghost about how you haven’t lost yet when you don’t think you lost. Prism Greed got even more motivated when they discovered Daydream when combined together look just like Evolt, the bad guy from Kamen Rider Build. Rika Tatsumi thinks it is cute that Prism Greed act like a newly dating couple. She wouldn’t mind if Miu Watanabe acted more affectionate towards her. But enough about that, the prelim matches have been a breeze for Daydream and beating small fry teams is part of what they need to do to break the record for most Princess Tag Title defences. Watanabe believes it is destiny for the strongest tag team to achieve that.

The EVE International Title match is kind of turning into a war of words about fashion. By representing EVE as one of their champions, Miyu Yamashita wants to defend the title and become a sophisticated woman worthy of Great Britain. She pointed out that the super colorful outfit Arisu Endo was wearing would stand out too much in the UK. She doesn’t deny that Endo has great fashion taste but she wouldn’t blend into the streets of London like Yamashita does with her current chic look. Yamashita’s mind is so set on representing the UK that even her watch is on English time instead of Japan. Endo warned Yamashita not to get jetlag over this because she wants to beat her at her best otherwise she wouldn’t be satisfied with taking the title from a sleepy champion. She also thinks Yamashita’s chic outfit is so plain and bland. There are so many colours in the world that Yamashita should at least use some of them. Yamashita fired back that Endo is so flashy that she’s exhausting to look at. By British standards her outfit would be 43 points out of 100.

In other news Kumadori’s dance group O-MENZ will be part of the show, performing during the entrance of Kumadori’s team with Aja Kong & Sakura Hattori.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW FALL TOUR ~RAY OF HOPE IN SHINKIBA~” Results

September 14, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW FALL TOUR ~RAY OF HOPE IN SHINKIBA~”, 12/09/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
280 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. HIMAWARI defeated Shion Kanzaki with the Half Crab Hold (9:39).
2. Mizuki, Uta Takami & Mifu Ashida defeated Raku, Pom Harajuku & Chika Nanase when Mizuki pinned Nanase with the Diving Foot Stomp (9:02).
3. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Wakana Uehara & Momo Sato when Nakajima pinned Sato with an Inside Cradle (8:10).
4. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Shino Suzuki with the Famouser (9:20).
5. Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Toga defeated Yuki Aino, Haru Kazashiro & Ren Konatsu when Watanabe submitted Kazashiro with the Reverse Paradox (15:51).
6. Yuki Arai, Miyu Yamashita & Sakura Hattori defeated Suzume, Arisu Endo & Kira Summer when Yamashita pinned Summer with the Attitude Adjustment (17:27).

A fire has been lit up beneath Arisu Endo and it’s all because of Miyu Yamashita and the EVE International Title! She interrupted Yamashita’s victory speech after the main event to tell her she wants the two of them to be on equal footing. She’s beaten Yamashita the last time they had a singles match at last year’s Tokyo Princess Cup but that wasn’t enough to make her become her rival. So Endo now wants to win the EVE International Title from Yamashita in order to surpass her! Yamashita told Endo she is late because she’s had all these years to let her know how she feels. Just challenging her for the title isn’t enough to get on her level. Endo asserted herself and confirmed she will beat Yamashita and win the title from her. The two shook hands to confirm the match until Endo hit Yamashita with an Elbow Strike across the chin. Yamashita didn’t expect that and told her partners today is the first time she ever saw Endo have that look of determination on her face. The title match is set for “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII” at 3rd October.

While all of this was going on, Yuki Arai came to the conclusion that her current level isn’t good enough yet to beat Suzume based on how Suzume’s been wrestling against her lately. Watching Endo stand up to Yamashita right in front of her made Arai think she cannot afford to lose against wrestlers from her own generation. Sakura Hattori almost feels left out because the match announced for “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII” with her and Kira Summer in it has nothing at stake. However she made a guarantee to the fans that her match will not only be entertaining but also so intense it will make their eyes water! Backstage Endo admitted she doesn’t know much about EVE the British wrestling promotion or what value Yamashita’s championship has over there. She just thought the belt looked so cool when Yamashita came back to Japan with it. But if she wins the title she will go defend it in the UK even if she has to travel there by herself. She also denies ever hitting Yamashita with an Elbow Strike after the match.

Today felt like a breeze for Daydream. They were victorious over Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed in a 6-Woman Tag and know what to expect of their next challengers. They are well aware of what Yuki Aino brings to the table and Miu Watanabe felt Haru Kazashiro fought within her expectations. She noticed how dejected she looked after losing the match though and wants Kazashiro to step up for the Princess Tag Team Titles match next month. Rika Tatsumi agreed and thinks the only way Prism Greed can beat them is if they fight with a burning and fierce intensity. They need to stir up a storm instead of a breeze!

Shino Suzuki altered her tour guide spot for Yuki Kamifuku during their match. When she pointed over to her spot, she said it was the bright future of Kamiyu who is racing towards retirement while staying beautiful to the very end.

We are a few days away until “HYPE! 4” and Hyper Misao did something very rash. She had already completed her draft for the script but decided to wipe it clean and start again from scratch! She brought her laptop to the ring so she would type out her new script and left Shoko Nakajima to wrestle Wakana Uehara & Momo Sato by herself. Luckily for Nakajima, Misao finished her new draft midway through the match and got back to the ring to even the odds. The rookie Sato got the upper hand and gave Misao a Body Slam only for the pin to not count because Misao was not tagged in. Nakajima then rolled up Sato from behind for the three count, giving Kyoraku Kyomei the victory.

It was announced earlier in the day that Mizuki and Hyper Misao will face each other at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII” in a match that has Jushin Liger as the special guest referee! Misao is especially excited about it because she is also a masked wrestler with a cape like Liger is. She claims to always fight fair and square so she has high hopes that Liger’s officiating will meet her standards. Mizuki was baffled by the idea at first but has come around to thinking that Liger’s officiating will work out in her favor in the end. After all, she’s such a good girl while Misao is a villainous hero.

A brand new wrestlers will make her debut on “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII”. Chieri Sakimori is from Fukuoka and she discovered Tokyo Joshi Pro from attending the OCHA NORMA collab show that took place last December. She then took part in TJPW’s Women’s Pro Wrestling Camp that runs in their dojo several times a month and made the decision to become a pro wrestler.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW FALL TOUR ~RAY OF HOPE IN YOKOHAMA~” Results

September 5, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW FALL TOUR ~RAY OF HOPE IN YOKOHAMA~”, 05/09/2026
Yokohama Radiant Hall
251 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Pom Harajuku defeated Shion Kanzaki with the Pom de Justice (6:45).
2. 3 Way Match: Hyper Misao defeated Chika Nanase and Ren Konatsu when Misao pinned Konatsu with La Magistral Cradle (11:07).
3. Mizuki & Uta Takami defeated Shoko Nakajima & Momo Sato when Mizuki submitted Sato with the Southern Cross (9:54).
4. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Raku with the Famouser (8:43).
5. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Kira Summer & Marz when Tatsumi pinned Marz after the Daydream Eternity (10:45).
6. Princess Tag Team Titles Next Challenger Decision Match – 3 Way Tag Match: Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated Miyu Yamashita & Sakura Hattori and HIMAWARI & Toga when Aino pinned HIMAWARI after the Updraft!! Overdrive (13:13).
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!

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. A 4th grade elementary student named Yuzuki was chosen to join in with the group and tell everyone the show was starting. She said her favorite wrestlers are Kamifuku, Uehara and Raku.

At the start of the show it was announced that TJPW will be working with the manga author Go Nagai for “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII” later this year. Nagai is known for his works including Cutie Honey, Devilman, Mazinger Z and UFO Robot Grendizer. He was also recently inducted into the Eisner Hall Of Fame. Nagai will be collaborating to work on the visual art used for the show’s promotional material.

Recently a new mascot named Tojojo appeared on social media claiming to be the new manager of TJPW. It teased news of an announcement to be made for this show and Rise Shirai revealed it is a Rooftop Garden Pro Wrestling event taking place at Gran Hammer in Shinbashi on 10th October. The show will consist of an all you can eat BBQ, a performance by The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling), a talk show featuring TJPW wrestlers and also mat pro wrestling matches that promised to include the use of water cannons.

The complete first round of this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup took place today. There are no upset results to speak of but a couple of the young wrestlers who were making a lot of progress this year have fallen at the first hurdle against some of the established main eventers. Yuki Arai didn’t have much time to rest after defending her Princess Of Princess Title on Saturday but was able to move past Haru Kazashiro in the main event. She praised Kazashiro after the match for have determination and a love for pro wrestling so strong that it can be intense. Now Arai will go face Shoko Nakajima in Round 2. She noted the only previous singles match they had together was made via a lottery back in 2022 so she is happy that the random draw of the bracket brings them together again. Kazashiro is looking past today’s defeat because even though she is already eliminated from the Princess Cup, her summer is still just beginning. If she can go through this period of time without getting heatstroke then she will come out of it improving her stamina.

There won’t be a second tournament final appearance in a row for Uta Takami. Not even close. Miyu Yamashita knocked her down and out in the opening round using a barrage of kicks. Takami’s only good chance to win was with using the Koala Clutch but Yamashita forced her way out of it and got the pin with the Attitude Adjustment. Yamashita said she was looking forward to fighting Takami because she is usually bad against wrestlers like her who move around a lot. Now that she got it and won, she now gets a singles match with Rika Tatsumi for the first time since May 2021, the Princess Title match with no audience due to the covid lockdown. Takami called today’s loss a complete defeat but she thinks she learned a few things from Yamashita that means more than just winning or losing.

Last year’s winner Miu Watanabe undoubtedly had the physical advantage over Ren Konatsu but mentally she had a trip up or two that could have ended disastrously for her. Konatsu kept trying to roll her up for a quick pin and when that didn’t work, she used her sheep toy as a decoy to distract Watanabe into getting rolled up even more. That was the extent to her gameplan though and once it got back into a clash of strength and skill, Watanabe steered things back on course and used the Canadian Backbreaker to make Konatsu give up. She wants to remind everyone that she is still a princess so it is only natural that she won today. She now anticipates another heated battle with Yuki Aino in Round 2 but no matter who she has to get through she is determined to win the Cup and become the Princess Champion again. Konatsu felt that she gave it her all today and got more encouragement with the streamers everyone threw for her during her entrance. She promised to work even harder to repay the kindness of her supporters.

Do you ever notice that Mizuki is never seen eating carrots despite being a rabbit? Raku does so she brought down a big carrot shaped pillow to force feed her opponent with while they fought each other. Mizuki then grabbed the pillow and hit Raku back with it. She also kicked out of the Hurricane Turn and used the Cutie Special to win the match. Mizuki calls Raku unpredictable but that’s what she loves about her. She isn’t going to stop fighting weird opponents for a while because waiting for her in Round 2 is Hyper Misao! Mizuki said she will do her best to win and she does eat carrots but only for nutrition. Raku said she stayed up all night to make the carrot pillow and doesn’t get why Mizuki didn’t like it. She then took a bite of it and now understands it doesn’t taste good.

The first thing Arisu Endo had to do on her potential journey to another Princess Cup final was to fight and beat a ninja girl. She had to be on the defensive against Sakura Hattori until she eventually figured out the timing of her attacks. So when Hattori climbed up the centre of the ropes to perform the Sento Choryu, Endo jumped up to join her and threw her back down to the canvas with a Choke Slam! Endo was the first to get back up but Hattori hit her with a Thrusting Punch to the chest. Endo withstood the blow and hit back with a Thrust Kick before finishing Hattori off with the Ju No Okite. Although Endo won, she admits she might never shake off the time she lost to the former Kaya Toribami back in 2022. She warns her next round opponent Chika Nanase that she is still growing as a wrestler just like her so she will not lose. Hattori didn’t want to say much because other than Endo has stood in her way again. She doesn’t have anything else to say and won’t have anything else until she wins.

It was time to see if Wakana Uehara got her appetite back after the weekend she just had. Mifu Asida brought out a giant rice ball she made but couldn’t finish eating it before the match began so she decided she would give the rest to Uehara if Uehara could beat her. Ashida tricked Uehara into doing a cheer so she could attack her from behind but Uehara made a comeback and won with the Sushi Tornado. Once she is done eating the giant rice ball she will have to prepare for HIMAWARI in Round 2. She is already wondering if sunflowers are edible like dandelions are. Ashida thought she had everything needed to win with her invincible cheerleading power along with some secret strategies but instead she lost again. She’s aware that some fans only think she loses all the time so she’s going to work hard and show everyone that she can win.

All champions have cleared the first hurdle while all of the rookies are out in the first round. Suzume had to deal with a scrappy performance from Shion Kanzaki with the rookie relying on Dropkicks and Elbow Strikes to keep her at bay. However Suzume was able to ground Kanzaki with the Hachinosu Eight Knot and tightened it to make her submit. Suzume pointed out that wearing all black makes you more likely to get stung by bees so that makes Kanzaki her natural enemy. Or at least she hopes Kanzaki will grow strong enough to become a rival. Suzume is now feeling a little worried about Round 2 because she can’t predict what Pom Harajuku will have in store for her. Kanzaki is disappointed because she was serious about winning the Princess Cup in her first year. She is certain she will become strong enough next year to do it and beat Suzume along the way.

For her first singles match after debuting, Momo Sato ran into a brick wall named Toga. She kept trying to knock her down with Shoulder Blocks but wasn’t strong enough to take Toga off her feet. But what she was able to do was lift her up for a Body Slam. She wasn’t able to do much more than that other than Elbow Strikes so Toga knocked her down and held her in a Face Lock until Sato tapped out. Toga said Sato’s tackles were amazing and she has a promising future ahead of her. As for Toga she will next take on Mahiro Kiryu in a rare singles match between the two. Sato said she wants to become even stronger than Toga and next time she will go get her first victory.
