You know for as much as Yuki Kamifuku says she dislikes being in championship matches she made a good go of it today. She upgraded her presentation with new ring gear and turned her match with Yuki Arai into a scrap where there were plenty of kicks aimed at each other’s faces. Kamifuku was fighting an uphill battle when she was put in the Scorpion Death Lock and later couldn’t hit the Famouser. She dodged the Finally only for Arai to catch up with her with the Rookie Award, then hitting her finisher after another attempt. Despite failing to win the Princess Of Princess Title, Kamifuku backstage said today she is the most beautiful and coolest she’s ever been. Her outfit was inspired by Doronjo from the Yatterman series and she wanted a fresh look that reminded her of her early days as a wrestler. She also credited Arai for cheekily stealing some of her moves today, although she admits those moves originally came from Saki Akai and Nao Kakuta. Kamifuku said she isn’t interested in challenging for the Princess Title again because she wants to move at her own pace and is tired of hearing everyone tell her she should be fighting for the white belt.

With three Princess Title defences now achieved, Arai got a surprise for who challenger No. 4 is going to be. Her victory speech was interrupted when Miyu Yamashita who unexpectedly walked down to ringside. It was unexpected because Yamashita was wrestling at an EVE show in England on Friday so she wasn’t advertised to appear on today’s show. She also won the EVE International Title over there and was carrying her latest championship over her shoulder. She told Arai that when she won this belt, the first thing that came to her mind was the Princess Title so she wants to win it back more than ever! Arai revealed that if the choice is up to her, she was going to nominate Yamashita anyway because she has not forgotten about last December’s match where she lost to Yamashita in just over a minute. She cannot accept herself as the true champion until she can beat Yamashita one on one! 18th July will be the day Arai promises Yamashita will never forget because it will be when Arai surpasses her and leads Tokyo Joshi Pro to move forward!

Rika Tatsumi will not accept Uta Takami as Mizuki’s new tag team partner but she has bigger fish to fry after Daydream successfully defended the Princess Tag Team Titles. Daydream want to prove that they are constantly evolving as a team and proved it today with a new tag team finisher. The Daydream Believer is a combination of Miu Watanabe’s Tear Drop with Tatsumi’s Missile Hip Attack. The move was super effective on Takami and won the match for the champions. Watanabe also found a new way to give the Giant Swing to two people at once, spinning Takami around from the front while Mizuki fell back from the piggyback position to be spun around behind Watanabe. Mizuki thinks she should be upset over the defeat but she cannot help but smile. Takami works so hard with her and that’s the reason why Mizuki got to challenge for the tag titles she never thought she would ever reach again. She doesn’t want to stifle Takami’s potential and encouraged her after the match to do what she enjoys. If she happens to be a part of that then she will continue to team with her.

To go along with their evolution, Daydream told the fans they have a new goal for the summer and called out Kyoraku Kyomei to come down to the ring. Daydream lost to them at last year’s “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS” show and want revenge at this year’s event so they are nominating them as their challengers for the show. They expected Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao to eagerly accept but instead they refused! Nakajima said they are not ready to fight for the belts so soon after they failed to beat The IInspiration in Las Vegas. Misao also said her memories of that summer are very special to her and it is too early to try and surpass it. The champions disliked their answer and Tatsumi brought up a lesson her grandmother used to say: “He who chases two rabbits catches both!” Daydream got out of the ring and grabbed the pair of sasumata poles they used to torture Kyoraku Kyomei last year! They used the poles to pin Nakajima & Misao into the corners until they convinced themselves that Kyoraku Kyomei accepted the challenge. However nothing has been decided by TJPW yet and Misao is forming the Challenge Cancellation Community to protest any chance of the title match going ahead at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26”.

How far can an apology take you? All the way up to getting a championship match, I guess. Mahiro Kiryu got to fight Suzume for the International Princess Title and just like Kamifuku in the main event, showed up to her match in a brand new costume. She took Suzume outside the ring and laid her on some of the chairs in the front row so she could do her Apology spot to the fans up close. She also used the apology dogeza to lock Suzume into a Jail Hold. Her momentum was cut off with the Ring A Bell but she was determined to win, shouting that she wants to be a champion after she caught Suzume in the Spinebuster. But Suzume got back to the top rope and did the Flying Facecrusher before pinning Kiryu with the Ring A Bell.

After the match, Wakana Uehara walked out to declare herself Suzume’s next challenger. She remembers an interview where Suzume said Wakana has a very hungry spirit. Today she is much, much hungrier than she was back then and she wants to devour the International Princess Title! Suzume said she loves her hungry spirit and always wanted to experience it in person. But this is a championship so big she doesn’t think Wakana has the appetite to finish it! The title match was agreed on and will take place on 18th July. Backstage Suzume said she wants to thank Kiryu for today because they are very close to each other. She hopes to have another special day like this with her sometime. Uehara said ever since Ober Eats lost the Princess Tag Titles, she was worried about what to do next. After wrestling in singles match recently she now really wants to win a singles title so the time is right for her to challenge Suzume.

The presence of Sumire Uesaka at today’s show led to some chaos happening over the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. She was at the show to do commentary as well as watch over the 3 Way Tag Match sponsored by her vampire café Twilight Rouge. Before the show began, Antonio Honda broke into the venue attempting to attack Uesaka for the belt. However Uesaka used her Twilight Rouge powers to send Honda twirling out of the building.

The 3 Way Match showed Kyoraku Kyomei are at their strongest when something is on the line. At least that is according to Misao’s speech at the start of it. Throughout the chaos Raku & Pom Harajuku tried to send their opponents to sleep, Mifu Ashida was almost smothered with a duvet and HIMAWARI’s hair was used for a tug of war by everyone else. Harajuku aimed to hit Pom de Justice on both Nakajima and HIMAWARI at the same time but only got HIMAWARI with it. Nakajima dodged the moves and cradled Harajuku in a Jackkknife Pin to win the 1,000,000 R (Rouge) store credit for Uesaka’s café.

Then the Iron Man Title hijinks broke out after the match. Nakajima bit Uesaka’s arm while receiving her prize, making Uesaka give up the belt to her. Then Misao rolled up Nakajima to become the new champion. Uesaka got so mad she took her prize back and angrily left the ring. However Kyoraku Kyomei followed her back to the commentary table to apologize so she would give it back to them. That was when Harajuku rolled up Misao from behind the win the title from her.

Things did not calm down backstage. Misao decided a trip to the Twilight Rouge would heal her broken heart after losing the Iron Man Title but Nakajima ran off with both certificates. HIMAWARI wasn’t happy with Ashida for using her hair as a weapon and threatened not to team with her again. Then Raku woke up from a nap and discovered Harajuku was now the Iron Man Champion so she started chasing her around the locker room. Harajuku escaped to an empty room where she thought she was safe. Suddenly she found a pair of Hirata GO! glasses and when she put them on, Kazuki Hirata appeared behind her armed with a hammer! Hirata hit Harajuku over the head and pinned her to win the Iron Man Title, presumably bringing the belt home to DDT. Hirata celebrated by saying the Bullet Train ticket will be his. DDT has a contest going on where whoever makes it to “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026” as the Iron Man Champion will be rewarded with a year long Bullet Train pass that applies for DDT’s regional shows.

MIRAI was very impressed with Haru Kazashiro after their first match together. She is particularly impressed with Kazashiro’s Arm Lock holds since she only has three years of experience. The thought of what Kazashiro can turn into scares MIRAI but she is happy to see a wrestler so young quickly master joint locks when throws and grappling moves are seen to be cooler and more appealing. If Kazashiro can master submission moves to other parts of the body then MIRAI thinks she will become an unstoppable monster! Kazashiro thinks something about herself has changed since her IP Title match with Suzume last month although it’s nothing dramatic. It was strange to fight MIRAI because Kazashiro watched so much of her back in TJPW when she was a fan. She’s happy to have fought her but also feels frustrated over giving her all yet still losing.

Uehara was one step ahead of Toga which frustrated the latter because she thought it was the other way around based on last week’s result in Osaka. When Toga did the Rolling Thunder, Uehara absorbed the blow to grab her into the Banana Pillow. But Toga got out of it and did a Fall Away Slam. She also resisted a Dropkick in order to hit Uehara in the back with the Elbow Strike. She did it again only for Uehara to give her a Suplex and counter the Absolute Zero with an Enzuigiri. That stunned Toga and left her open for Uehara to pin her with the Sushi Tornado. Toga rolled out of the ring afterwards to avoid having to shake her opponent’s hand. Backstage Toga said that simply chasing after somebody she admires won’t be enough to catch her up to Uehara. She’s going to have to move forward in her own way instead.

Things were kind of more friendly between Chika Nanase and YuuRI in their match. YuuRI told Nanase at the start it is nice to see her and they shook hands. It got more intense with Nanase trying to fight from underneath while YuuRI’s tactic was to drain down her opponent’s stamina. Nanase dodged the 619 and also hit a Running Elbow for a nearfall. YuuRI prevented her from applying the Inari Torii and instead rolled her into a Body Scissors Sleeper Hold to win by submission. YuuRI called it a special match because Nanase is fun to wrestle with. She hopes to be invited back to TJPW so she can wrestle with her again along with other people like Toga. Nanase also described the match as a dream that came true that she wished would last forever. However she got a little slap across the face from YuuRI after the match and she won’t forgive her for that!

New costumes were also shown off by Sakura Hattori and Ren Konatsu in the opening match while Yuki Aino had now dyed her hair black. Kira Summer worked over on Shion Kanzaki until Kanzaki was able to tag in Aino. But it was Arisu Endo who took the match home by Super Kicking Konatsu and pinning her with the Ju no Okite. In the locker room Endo told Hattori it’s been a while since they were last in the ring together, then corrected herself and acted like they were now just meeting for the first time. Kanzaki tried to apologise to her team over the result but Aino gave her encouragement because all of the support she’s been receiving is causing her to do her best. Aino also motivated Konatsu to refine her wrestling style and become even more ambitious so she can aim for greater heights.

From the mind of Hyper Misao, the fourth annual “HYPE!” show will be held in Kitazawa Town Hall on 15th September.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHE KNOWS HER WAY ~SHINO SUZUKI HOMECOMING SHOW~” Results

May 16, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHE KNOWS HER WAY ~SHINO SUZUKI HOMECOMING SHOW~”, 16/05/2026
Shizuoka Shimizu Marine Building
237 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Wakana Uehara defeated Shion Kanzaki with the Sushi Tornado (7:59).
2. Hyper Misao defeated Mifu Ashida with the Chickenwing Face Lock (7:21).
3. Miyu Yamashita & Sakura Hattori defeated Raku & Pom Harajuku when Yamashita pinned Harajuku with the Attitude Adjustment (10:08).
4. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Mahiro Kiryu & Chika Nanase when Suzume pinned Nanase with the Ring A Bell (13:20).
5. Mizuki, Yuki Aino & Uta Takami defeated Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Ren Konatsu when Takami submitted Konatsu with the Koala Clutch (11:58).
6. Yuki Arai defeated Kira Summer with the Scorpion Death Lock (7:47).
7. Shino Suzuki & HIMAWARI defeated Haru Kazashiro & Toga when Suzuki submitted Kazashiro with the Modified Cobra Clutch (14:17).

Today was Shino Suzuki’s day in the spotlight with Tokyo Joshi Pro paying a visit to her home area of Shizuoka. She made the most of it by winning the main event and tapping out Haru Kazashiro to get there. With this being her third homecoming show in her career, Suzuki said she feels very fortunate to get these events and to wrestle with her classmates like HIMAWARI, Kazashiro and Toga. However it frustrates her that she never takes advantage of these opportunities and is always falling behind everyone else. But today proves she will always reach her destination no matter the circumstances. She’ll sometimes get stuck in traffic and may need to take a back road but ultimately she will guide everyone in TJPW to where they want to go. She hopes there will be more homecoming shows for her in the future. HIMAWARI told her she’ll have to win in every main event for them from here on out.

Jealousy is rearing its ugly head towards Rika Tatsumi as she getting fed up of seeing Mizuki getting along with Uta Takami instead of her. Her feelings on the matter are getting noticed by Mizuki and Takami too. Today was the first time in a while Mizuki got to wrestle Tatsumi and see isn’t looking forward to doing it several more times in the near future. Takami says the relationship between those two is scary but also precious. Tatsumi is convinced Mizuki wants to be with her instead of the “naughty koala” and her proof is the way Mizuki clung onto her during the match. Miu Watanabe admits the “naughty koala” can be very annoying but is also very dangerous. They both agree that they should capture it quickly, probably at the next prelim match.

Suzume said that when Mahiro Kiryu asked to challenged her for the International Princess Title, she could see the Kiryu that she spends time with outside the ring rather than the Kiryu that is a pro wrestler. She is happy to put the title on the line against her because Kiryu is both her senior and her friend but she’s a little worried for that reason too. Kiryu is determind to face her and thinks today’s match was good preparation despite being on the losing side. She knows she will have to neutralize Suzume’s strengths but doesn’t want to reveal all of her tricks before the title match.

Whenever TJPW held a show in North America this year, they often relied on a referee who was only ever referred to by the name Mike. Well it turns out after working some of their shows in America and Canada, he has now travelled over to Japan and worked on today’s show! His match just so happened to be the one with Pom Harajuku in it and she screamed in his ears just like all the other times they were in the ring together. Meanwhile Raku brought out a fishing rod with a packet of potato chips attached to distract Miyu Yamashita & Sakura Hattori with. It distracted Yamashita long enough for Harajuku to catch her in a butterfly net. Yamashita took it off her head pretty easily so RakuPom then took out a much bigger net to trap her in. Yamashita eventually got freed and she wasted no time in pinning Harajuku with the Attitude Adjustment.

Hyper Misao wanted to liven up Suzuki’s homecoming show, believing they have a close connection because they both wear the colour green. Her plan was to have Mifu Ashida lead the way with her cheerleading skills but it was all a trap for Misao to attack her before the match began.

April 29, 2026

5b. Yuki Aino was Disqualified for doing the Shoulder Tackle.
5c. Miyu Yamashita was Disqualified for doing the Skull Kick.
6. Costume Change Match: Yuki Arai, Mizuki, Yuki Kamifuku & Raku defeated Suzume, Pom Harajuku, HIMAWARI & Uta Takami when Arai submitted Takami with the Scorpion Death Lock (17:30).

For the tenth time in the company’s history, Tokyo Joshi Pro held a fan club only show opened to members of Wrestle Universe. Matches on these kind of shows go in weird directions and often have uncommon stipulations added to them. The big match to happen on these shows is the Costume Change match where every wrestler involved shows up in another wrestler’s costume. This mix and match included the nicknames being altered for the ocassion. We got Yuki Arai dressed as HIMAWARI (“Genius Cheeky Chap”), Mizuki dressed as Suzume (“Vivid Sugar Custard”), Yuki Kamifuku dressed as Raku (“Up Up Girls (Tall)”), Raku dressed as Yuki Aino (“Sleeping Venus”), Suzume dressed as Mahiro Kiryu (“Passion Blue Mustard”), Pom Harajuku dressed as Toga (“Colorful Snow Crystal”), HIMAWARI dressed as Mifu Ashida (“Rampaging Flower Girl”) and Uta Takami dressed as Mizuki (“Popping Ice Rabbit”). Everyone tried to copy the wrestler they were dressed as but the match ended with Arai using her own moveset to beat Takami. After the match Arai said she has memorized the faces of every Wrestle Universe subscriber in attendance and she wants them to stay members for life.

The Indian Poker match began with every contestant being handed a random card. They were allowed a brief moment to trade the cards with each other without looking and then show everyone the cards without looking at their own. The rule was if a wrestler performed the action that was written on their card, they would be Disqualified. Shoko Nakajima was quickly eliminated when she did the Dragon Ring In, which her card banned her from doing. With every elimination, the remaining wrestlers were given more cards with banned actions on them. Yuki Aino was next to go when she did a Double Shoulder Tackle on the other opponents, which she wasn’t allowed to do. With Miyu Yamashita and Hyper Misao as the last two left, they agonized over trying to figure out which of their moves were banned. Yamashita nailed Misao with the Skull Kick but that turned out to be illegal so Misao won despite getting almost knocked out.

One Count pinfalls were used for the Academic & Athletic Match. When a pin happened, the wrestler was then asked an educational question. The first team to get two questions correct would win the match. Unfortunately the four participants are not the most school smart of wrestlers on the TJPW roster so a lot of questions were answered incorrectly. Miu Watanabe was finally able to get one right by calling Hokkaido the largest prefecture in Japan while Haru Kazashiro evened the score by identifying that red blood cells are what carries oxygen throughout the body. Arisu Endo got several chances at answering questions but kept getting them wrong. Chika Nanase got the winning point when she said photosyntesis is the name of the process by which plants use light to produce nutrients.

A bunch of TJPW wrestlers turned into “Superstars” for one day by impersonating different WWE gimmicks during a Rumble match. Kira Summer entered first as Rhea Ripley and started the match off against Shino Suzuki as John Cena. The next entrant was Mahiro Kiryu fully committed to dressing up like The Rock, padded muscle suit and all. The lights in the room then went out as Mifu Ashida made her entrance as The Undertaker (with Fumirin joining her impersonating Paul Bearer). The last entrant was Wakana Uehara going full on Shinsuke Nakamura. Eliminations then happened one after the other and the match ended with Kiryu putting Suzuki in a Sleeper Hold. Suzuki gave a big smile just like Cena did before tapping out.

Toga had to fight off two admirers in a 3 Way Match. Rika Tatsumi and Ren Konatsu wanted to fight over who liked Toga more with Tatsumi claiming she is Toga’s godmother while Konatsu tried to bribe her with bread. Then when they fought each other they kept each asking Toga to come rescue them. Tatsumi soon got fed up and asked Toga who would she choose. When Toga didn’t answer, she was pushed into Fumirin who all of a sudden started to fall for her too. Toga ran out of the ring and was chased by Tatsumi and Konatsu while Fumirin started the 20 count. Tatsumi and Konatsu spent too much time arguing with each other outside, allowing Toga to get into the ring before 20 and win the match by Double Countout. Toga then patted Fumirin on the head after the match.

The opening bout between Sakura Hattori and Shion Kanzaki was a normal match with nothing unusual happening at all. Hattori continues to use her Shoulder Lock submission to rack up wins.

The silliness of the show started at the very beginning when Fumirin gave some pre-show announcements while talking in a Kansai dialect. A surprise musical performance then happened with Rise Shirai singing the Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger theme song for everybody.

*V1 for Yuki Arai.

You ever had a holiday thay you enjoyed so much that you went back the next year only to suffer from diminishing returns? That feels like the story of Tokyo Joshi Pro coming back to Las Vegas during WrestleMania Week for the second year in a row. A combination of much higher ticket prices, a WrestleMania that is attracting far less travelling fans than usual for numerous reasons, an earlier slot in the week (Thursday morning instead of Friday morning) and how late it took for the show to be announced resulted in only 424 fans coming out to the Pearl Theater compared to last year’s number of 812 fans. And even then I’m sceptical that 424 is the genuine number. Being there in the building there ended up being two groups of fans, those in the front rows and those sitting up in the back. In between that was a no man’s land swathe of almost entirely empty seats. When it was time for the semi-main event, security allowed everyone at the back to move down to closer roads just so the crowd could be seen on camera for the broadcast. They did the same thing for the CMLL show that took place afterwards but made that decision at the start of the show.

In the main event Yuki Arai successfully retained the Princess Of Princess Title in her first defence. Her American challenger J-Rod got close to winning when she hit the Ultimate Spear but Arai grabbed the ropes to break the pin at the last second. J-Rod lost her focus and argued with the referee before running into Arai’s Big Boot and getting sent shoulder first in between the turnbuckles. Arai then found the power to give J-Rod the Full Nelson Buster before pinning her with the Finally. After the match Arai told J-Rod how happy she for getting to meet her and she loves her. J-Rod shook Arai’s hand and said she loves her too, just don’t forget she still wants to win the title. Arai suggested they form a Blue and White tag team together the next time they see each other. She also told fans TJPW will come back to America again.

The IInspiration are still the Princess Tag Team Champions after they fought through Kyoraku Kyomei’s shenanigans. Hyper Misao kept her pre-match speech short so she & Shoko Nakajima could quickly go on the attack. Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee were rolled up into the ring apron together but made their escape and took everything the challengers threw at them. They were able to take Misao out of the running and then pin Nakajima with the Idolizer. Misao admitted that Kyoraku Kyomei were thrown off their game despite being TJPW’s trickiest tag team. They feel embarrased because they gave The IInspiration so much trash talk leading up to the match. Later backstage The IInspiration called themselves fighting champions who will next defend the belts at the 4th May Korakuen Hall show. Miu Watanabe approached them and introduced herself. She told The IInspiration that Rika Tatsumi would like to meet them so they should look forward to defending the titles against Daydream at Korakuen.

It was a clean sweep of title defences across the board, starting with Suzume beating Sakura Hattori to remain the International Princess Champion. Hattori almost overwhelmed Suzume with her ninja techniques but showed a glimmer of her own self when she decided to attempt Kaya Toribami’s finishing move, the Sento Choryu. It turned out to be her fatal mistake in the match because first she slipped off the rope and then when she pulled off the move, Suzume dodged it. Hattori switched back to her ninja moves but by that point the momentum was shifting and Suzume pinned her with the Ring A Bell. Suzume said the experience of defending the IP Title in Vegas two years in a row reaffirms her desire to take the championship around the world. Hattori said she will always have her sights set on the IP Title, no matter who is the champion.

In the battle between TJPW’s three most dominant ~~monsters~~ princesses ever, Miyu Yamashita stood tall as the most powerful ~~monster~~ princess! She ran around kicking Mizuki and Watanabe all over the ring as well as the stage while Mizuki did her big Diving Foot Stomp jumps off the ramp. Both of them tried to grab onto anything for dear life whenever Watanabe tried to put them in the Giant Swing. Mizuki flubbed the Whirling Candy but was able to get Watanabe with it on the second attempt. Watanabe also got hit with the Skull Kick. Mizuki tried to capitalise by giving Yamashita the Cutie Special and then land the Diving Foot Stomp onto Watanabe. But Yamashita broke the pin and nailed Mizuki with the Crash Rabbit Heat to win.

The Love Triangle brought out a giant dice to use in their trios match. Pom Harajuku gave it a roll and got the number three, so he attacked HIMAWARI three times. HIMAWARI then rolled it and got a six, then found out it meant Harajuku could attack her six times. Alexis Lee found a way to stop Raku from doing Poppo Chops by simply biting her arm. Shino Suzuki rolled the dice only to score a one but HIMAWARI grabbed Harajuku so Suzuki could hit her as much as she wanted. Suzuki didn’t have the same luck against Yuki Aino though. Aino got the better of her and won the match with the Venus DDT.

Wakana Uehara achieved two big wins today. The first was from Ober Eats beating Toga & Uta Takami in the opening bout. The other happened later that night when Uehara demolished an Octuple Bypass burger at the Heart Attack Grill in Fermont Street! I think Yuki Kamifuku was just happy to have scored the winning pinfall in the match and probably went somewhere else for dinner.

Guide To TJPW In Las Vegas… Again

April 15, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE IN LAS VEGAS 2026”, 16/04/2026
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara Vs Toga & Uta Takami
2. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Alexis Lee, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki
3. Special 3 Way Match: Miyu Yamashita Vs Mizuki Vs Miu Watanabe
4. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Sakura Hattori
5. Princess Tag Team Titles: Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
6. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs J-Rod

Thanks to some business dealings by TKO that has sort of come back to bite WWE in the backside, Tokyo Joshi Pro are running a WrestleMania Week show in Las Vegas for the second year in a row. Is there an alternate timeline where this would be happening in New Orleans instead? Probably, but money talks and Vegas is full with it. What’s noteworthy regarding this year is that TJPW is no longer working with GCW and The Collective in putting this show together. Instead they are part of a block of events called Slam Fest that also has Stardom, CMLL, House Of Glory and Maple Leaf Pro involved. Also DDT has not joined the journey over to America with TJPW. As you are reading this, they are still running shows back in Japan but it’s pretty obvious by now that CyberFight sees TJPW as the brand with the biggest potential to become successful in overseas markets like North America. For their return to Vegas they have put together a relevant card that follows up from their recent tours of Texas and Vancouver. If you need need to freshen up on the product you really only need to pay attention to those shows as well as last month’s Sumo Hall show to get all caught up on what’s happening here. So if you’re new to the world of TJPW, an existing fan wanting to read up on everything or even a commentator looking for context beyond a Wikipedia page (*cough, cough*), this guide is intended for you!

Where and when are the shows taking place?

The show will be held at the Pearl Theater found inside Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas on Thursday, 16th April at 11am local time.

Where can I watch it online?

It will air live on Triller TV with English commentary for $19.99 by itself. There are also bundled deals that include the show available for either $44.99 (the Thursday package of TJPW, CMLL & House Of Glory) or $59.99 (the entire two day Slam Fest package). The on-demand version of the show will be available to watch on Wrestle Universe a couple of weeks after the live broadcast.

Is this a proper TJPW show?

Yes for the most part. On paper it is not the same full blown experience that TJPW provided Las Vegas last year. However they are still providing all three championship matches that have all have build up behind them. It’s an unusual situation this year because TJPW are promoting shows outside of Japan more than ever and a lot of the title builds took place on those international shows that took place in North America. So you could take the odd path of only watching the Texas tour, the big “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” show at Sumo Hall and the recent Vancouver tour to get all caught up on the major matches for this card.

1. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara Vs Toga & Uta Takami

The show opens up with one of the mainstay tag teams Ober Eats facing two wrestlers from TJPW’s so-called “Next Generation”. Ober Eats are coming off of a lengthy stay at the top of the tag team division, having become the only reigning champions to win the annual Max Heart Tournament. After recently being knocked off their perch, Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara agreed to start moving in separate directions but they are still going to team from time to time on shows like this one. Uta Takami is on the upswing after reaching the final of the Max Heart Tournament. She’s only teamed with Toga a handful of times though so this mismatch pairing has some work to do to beat the former tag champs.

Yuki Kamifuku – Also known by her nickname Kamiyu, she is “The Casual Beauty” of TJPW. Grew up in Ohio during her junior high school years so she is the most fluent English speaker out of the Japanese roster. She knows how to get under her opponent’s skin with harsh and catty opinions but there is another side to her where she is loyal and sympathetic to her friends. She is also proud of her modelling background because her accomplishments in the ring is proof that you don’t need to be a die hard pro wrestling fan to succeed in the business.
Moves To Watch Out For: Famouser (Jumping Leg Drop to a bent over opponent), Big Boot, Yahoo 83cm (Headscissors DDT), Manjigatame, Thumb To The Eye

Wakana Uehara – The big eater entered wrestling through a reality series TJPW held for idols and was the only participant to take the path towards turning pro. Ever since she formed Ober Eats with Kamifuku, she learned to come out out of her shell and has taken on some of Kamifuku’s more confident personality traits to make them into her own. One can only imagine the victory meal she’ll have in Vegas to celebrate!
Moves To Watch Out For: Banana Pillow (Triangle Lancer), Sushi Tornado (Sister Abigail variation), Space Rolling Elbow, High Speed Brainbuster

Toga – I can’t say for sure if ice runs through her veins but if you’re looking for somebody cool, calm and collective in the ring then Toga is your girl. In a place filled with colorful personalities, Toga’s way of standing out is to smash opponents in the face with an almighty Elbow Strike. The last year has seen her start to stretch out a little bit, moving on from tag team wrestling to search for success on her own. She has also taken the initiative to take part in a match somewhere else during Mania Week, as you will see at the bottom of this guide.
Moves To Watch Out For: Absolute Zero (Rock Bottom), Elbow Butt, Rolling Thunder, Fall Away Slam

Uta Takami – Here is the first member of The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) to appear on the show. The Up Up Girls are a pop idol group that collaborated with TJPW to create a pro wrestling spin-off stable. TJPW’s version of the act always perform a song or two at the beginning of the shows before competing in matches later on. Takami is the troublemaker of the bunch, bringing along a bratty little sister energy into her matches with a frantic wrestling style. She is currently among the youngest wrestlers on the roster but this year her potential upside has shot through the roof with a strong tag team tournament record. If you like Mei Suruga then Uta Takami will fit into your wrestling tastes as snug as a bug.
Moves To Watch Out For: Koala Clutch (Body Lock Cobra Clutch), Pendulum Dropkick, Missile Dropkick

2. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Alexis Lee, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki

It’s the Love Triangle taking on Bumping gRitters plus a friend from Singapore. One of the strongest bonds in TJPW is the one that connects Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku together. They are all so close to each other that Love Triangle is the most fittest name to give them. HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki make up the Bumping gRitters, a name they came up with because they want to fight gritty and shine like glitter at the same time. Alexis Lee from Singapore Pro Wrestling is the third woman on their team and has a packed schedule in Vegas ahead of her this week.

Yuki Aino – At one time Yuki Aino was simply a ring announcer for TJPW who became a pro wrestler in order to team up with her sister (the now retired Nodoka Tenma). Tag team wrestling has been her forte and Aino usually finds her way back there whenever her attempts to go solo don’t go to plan. Her love of Tokusatsu TV shows have been a key part of her finding relevance in the company this year but on this show she is back teaming with some old flames. She can be as stubborn as they come and on her best days will hit you like a firetruck fueled by love.
Moves To Watch Out For: Venus DDT (Inverted DDT), UBV/Unlimited Burning Venus (Double Arm Side Buster), Full Nelson Of Love And Fire (Full Nelson Camel Clutch), Side Suplex

Raku – The second member of The Up Up Girls, Raku’s entire personality can be summed down to naps and trains. She knows so much railway trivia that on every TJPW show she will tell the audience what the Train Of The Day is. Raku’s moveset is built around sending her opponents to sleep so she can run over them with the Oyasumi Express. She is also sometimes armed with a pillow. Mix that all together and you get a total package that has made her absolutely adored by fans and the roster alike.
Moves To Watch Out For: Doctor Yellow (Jumping Neckbreaker), Hurricane Turn (Cross-Arm Backslide Pin), Oyasumi/Good Night Express (running on top of the opponent over and over), Good Night Sleeper, Poppo Chop! (Brain Chop)

Pom Harajuku – Bright and colorful costumes, loud screaming and a lot of shin kicking. Pom Harajuku’s fighting style can be compared to a three year old throwing a temper tantrum. What she lacks in traditional pro wrestling strength, she makes up for with creativity and outside the box thinking. If she thinks disguising herself as a turnbuckle, hiding her opponent’s house keys inside a gacha capsule machine or constructing her own Tesla will help her win the match then she will find a way to turn those ideas into a reality.
Moves To Watch Out For: Pom de Justice (Step-Up Guillotine Leg Drop), Laforet Harajuku (Satellite Headscissors), Shin Kick, Denden Taiko (beating the opponent’s chest like a drum)

Alexis Lee – The skeleton from Singapore is regularly seen as an opponent for TJPW wrestlers when they go to wrestle around Southeast Asia. She gets appear in TJPW once or twice a year and returns again as part of what I think is her debut tour in America. Just be careful around her when drinks are around. “Skelly” can drink anybody under the table.
Moves To Watch Out For: No Lee Way (Running Double Knee Attack), Sister Abigail, Biting

HIMAWARI – Bright and cheerful like a sunflower but it’s the kind of sunflower that can use Vine Whip. She claims to have never gotten her long hair cut since she was born and she likes to use her braids as whips against her opponents. She has a background in musicals and stage acting which explains how she is up there as one of the most expressive of wrestlers in TJPW. She often gets to take part in overseas bookings but her win-loss record when it comes to these ventures needs some improvement.
Moves To Watch Out For: Sunflower Tempest (Floatover Jackhammer), Princess Drop (Princess Carry into Pumphandle Drop style slam), Half Crab Hold, Hair Whip

Shino Suzuki – Now we’re up to member No. 3 of The Up Up Girls. Shino Suzuki is one of the newer members of the groups. She is nicknamed “She Know” because she worked as a tour guide before becoming an idol and pro wrestler. While currently low on the totem pole in TJPW, she will display gutsy performances along with her wealth of tourism knowledge. The downside to this is the competitive atmosphere often turns her into a ball of anxiety and half of her battles is trying to get past that while the match goes on.
Moves To Watch Out For: Belly-To-Belly Suplex, Sleeper Hold, Backward Rolling Cradle, Swinging Neckbreaker

3. Special 3 Way Match: Miyu Yamashita Vs Mizuki Vs Miu Watanabe

Simply put, the three strongest and most decorated wrestlers in TJPW are thrown into the ring all against each other. I could go on all day listing the combined accomplishments of Miyu Yamashita, Mizuki and Miu Watanabe along with arguments for each over who should be seen as the ace of company. It would be fair to guess that whoever wins this match would qualify for No. 1 Contendership, if only there wasn’t the Tokyo Princess Cup coming up. This is odds on favorite to be the match of the show and maybe even a highlight of the entire week.

Miyu Yamashita – “The Pink Striker” has been part of TJPW since Day 1 of the company proper and has almost done it all when it comes to championship reigns, tournament wins and headlining important venues. She is currently the “Leader” of TJPW so her focus nowadays is to fly the flag for the company across the world. The Skull Kick she uses is one of the most deadliest looking finishers around and she enjoys finding opponents who can dish it out to her just as hard as she can dish it out to them.
Moves To Watch Out For: Skull Kick (Backspin High Kick to the head), Crash Rabbit Heat (Running Knee Kick), Attitude Adjustment, Return Crash (Triangle Kick off the turnbuckles)

Mizuki – Although she didn’t start her wrestling career in TJPW, Mizuki has established herself as one of the company’s all time best with multiple championship reigns and important main events to her name. One of the most photogenic wrestlers going today, she constantly goes viral on social media for using moves that leave those who see them locked in a state of awe and inspiration. She doesn’t understand what U3+4 means but she is the closest pro wrestling will ever get to creating a real life Lili from Tekken. Don’t trust that mischievous smile of hers, she is vicious when she wants to be. “The Popping Sugar Rabbit” may sound like a silly nickname but we’ll see who’s laughing when Mizuki is Double Stomping the guts out of her opponents.
Moves To Watch Out For: Cutie Special (Bridging Fall Away Slam), Whirling Candy (Spinning Cross Body Block), Diving Foot Stomp, Face Lock

Miu Watanabe – Last but definitely not least, Miu Watanabe is the final member of The Up Up Girls you will see in action. There are two things she loves most in life: Idols and Pro Wrestling! Always full of energy, Watanabe uses big hand gestures to spell out L-O-V-E along with her theme song during her entrances. She also knows various ways to throw people around with the Giant Swing and cave in chests with Double Sledge style strikes. Watanabe is coming off of a main event run that was so dominant that other wrestlers accused her of fighting more like a monster than a princess!
Moves To Watch Out For: Tear Drop (Modified Flapjack), Reverse Paradox (Gorilla Clutch), Laserbeam (Overhand Chop to the chest), Giant Swing, Canadian Backbreaker, Swinging Backbreaker

4. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Sakura Hattori

The first of three championship matches on the card. Suzume recently won the International Princess Title for the second time and wants to live up to the championship’s intended identity of being defended overseas. She received her first challenge via ninja scroll, which is a new one in my books. Sakura Hattori recently transformed from a masked bird to dangerous ninja and has been reaping the benefits under her new persona. She doesn’t need to hide in the shadows when they get to Vegas, her confidence is at an all time high.

Suzume – As swift as a wasp and just as sharp. She begun her career as a fast learner, only spending seven months in training before making her pro debut. Just based on her aesthetic alone it is of no surprise that speed is the name of her game. It’s served Suzume well because she became the International Princess Champion for the second time this year. It is a belt that has become her greatest treasure but she holds it at a time when a new generation of challengers are growing stronger all around her.
Moves To Watch Out For: Ring A Bell (RKO), Spring Ring A Bell (Oscutter), Mikazuki Meteor Shower (Diving Cross Body), Twinkle (Twisting School Boy), Flying Facecrusher

Sakura Hattori – There was once a masked wrestler named Kaya Toribami. She was a bird and was well liked by everyone but when it came to finding success in the ring it was lacking for her. Turns out having a cassowary gimmick wasn’t the golden ticket to getting a push. So Toribami travelled to Iga City to train under a ninja master but while she was there she discovered a haunted faceguard that sent her into a trance. When she returned she announced she would be moving on from Kaya Toribami to become a ninja called Sakura Hattori. The personality change has worked out for her so far, being unbeaten in singles matches and only suffering one pinfall loss thanks to Suzume. Her moveset has become more aggressive with the change but also more performative. She really needs to learn how to do the Nine Seal hand signals quicker before hitting her moves because they noticeably slow her down.
Moves To Watch Out For: Shinden Fudo Ryu Majime Ura (Kata-Gatame style Shoulder Lock), Rakkateicho (Flying Forearm Strike from the top rope set up with the Nine Hand Seals), Backflip Kick

5. Princess Tag Team Titles: Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao

TJPW’s tag division has been thrown out of whack thanks to The IInspiration. The Australian tag team struck gold by becoming the only pair in history to win tag team championships in WWE, TNA and TJPW. After knocking down Ober Eats for the belts, it has cleared the table for challengers previously beaten by Ober Eats to start making challenges again. First up is Kyoraku Kyomei, one of the longest serving TJPW teams still going with previous success together under their belts. The IInspiration have seen a lot in their careers but have they ever fought a team consisting of a superhero and kaiju before?

Jessie McKay – Formerly known as Billie Kay in WWE but she has experience that goes back to Shimmer in the early 2010s. Eventually found success in WWE when she formed The IIconics and it followed her over to TNA for a little bit too. Yeah… I got nothing else. A lot of people thought that time she shouted “Hey, Kayla” out loud was funny, I guess.
Moves To Watch Out For: The IIdolizer (Inverted Magic Killer), Pedigree, Codebreaker

Cassie Lee – The former KC Cassidy and Peyton Royce took a different path than her tag partner, travelling over to Canada so she could learn from Lance Storm. Hit a road block in WWE when she tried seperating from McKay to go into singles wrestling but things just didn’t work out for the both of them. If the team did anything interesting in TNA outside of their title wins then I don’t know about it.
Moves To Watch Out For: The IIdolizer (Inverted Magic Killer), Blue Thunder Bomb, Twist Of Fate

Shoko Nakajima – Meet the Big Kaiju, all 147cm of her! Shoko Nakajima has pretty much done it all in TJPW as one of the promotion’s longest serving wrestlers. Usually relying on quick reflexes, she also has the strength to put away opponents with the Northern Lights Suplex or the Diving Senton. When put in Hardcore Match situations her favorite weapon of choice is a pile of kaiju toys that she slams her opponents onto. She’s a Swiss Army Knife that can adapt to any kind of situation wrestling can throw at her. That’s helpful when her tag team partner comes up with crazy ideas on a regular basis.
Moves To Watch Out For: Northern Lights Suplex, Diving Senton, Unmanned Local Train Hold (Yurikamome submission hold), 619, Rider Kick (One-Legged Dropkick)

Hyper Misao – When love and peace is under threat in TJPW, you can always rely on Hyper Misao to come to the rescue. Just be aware that her plans to save the world are never as heroic as intended. She often gets on the microphone to greet everyone with “Hello big children” before explaining her plan to save the day. Of course by being a superhero that means she has her own Hypami Combat Bike. She likes to crash it into her opponents along with any unfortunate bystander who happens to be nearby. She also blinds opponents with her Hero Correction Spray. Deep down inside Misao is a multi-layered human being with infinite potential that if harvested correctly could turn her into a very powerful wrestler. But why go through all that baggage when you can just wear a cool mask and cheat like hell instead?
Moves To Watch Out For: Hypami Returns (Final Cut), I Am A Hero (Diving Cross Body), Crossface Chickenwing, Vanitas (Double Arm Facebuster), Cold Spray Attack

6. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs J-Rod

So TJPW has finally gone ahead and put Yuki Arai on top of the mountain when she won the Princess Of Princess Title in Sumo Hall last month. Now the hard work begins because she isn’t going to be wrestling Miu Watanabe over and over anymore. Her first challenger is a tough one. TJPW chose one of their regular American guests J-Rod to face her and she is getting the home field advantage too. J-Rod wants to make history by becoming the first American wrestler to win the Princess Title. She failed to do it once before but does she have the better odds this time against a less powerful champion who is kind of still learning on the job?

Yuki Arai – The day finally came for TJPW’s chosen one when she became the brand new Princess Champion last month. Arai was once a pop idol from the group SKE48 and when she became a pro wrestler she juggled both careers at the same time. She eventually made the decision to leave music behind so she could dedicate herself full time to pro wrestling. It paid off in spades for her as she has become the latest wrestler to achieve the TJPW Grand Slam (which is only held by two other wrestlers). With that being said, she still needs the right dance partner in some situations so it remains to be seen if this title reign requires on the job training, so to speak. She also unintentionally associates herself with France because of her blue, white and red colour scheme. She really likes include the French Tricolor in her tweets.
Moves To Watch Out For: Finally (Heel Drop axe kick), Scorpion Death Lock, Rookie Award (Pump Kick to a kneeling opponent), Full Nelson Buster

J-Rod – The “Ultimate Athlete” will soon be appearing on your screens as Supernova in the latest reboot of American Gladiators. Other than that you will usually find her wrestling in Ohio Valley Wrestling and more recently Juggalo Championship Wrestling. A powerhouse on the level that only Miu Watanabe can match in TJPW, J-Rod has done several tours with the promotion in Japan and one tour in Canada. Yet this will be her first time wrestling on an American TJPW show. It’s only fitting that her match is about whether or not she can become the first American Princess Champion.
Moves To Watch Out For: Ultimate Spear, Samoan Drop, Side Slam, Fall Away Slam

———————————————————————–

There are a few other shows where you will find TJPW wrestlers in action this year. They also have different meet and greets going on at Slam Fest and Wrestlecon but I’m just going to focus on the matches here.

PODER~! “PODERMANIA~!”, 15/04/2026
Horseshoe, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. International Tag Team Match: Amira & Lil Marz Vs Toga & Jazzy Yang

The first place you can find a TJPW wrestler in action will be at the annual “PODERMANIA~!” women’s wrestling show where Toga is teaming up with Jazzy Yang, the daughter of former WCW and WWE wrestler Jimmy Yang. One of their opponents Amira just took part in TJPW’s Vancouver tour while Australian wrestler Lil Marz is finishing up a stay in Europe to take part in this show.

GCW “JOSH BARNETT’S BLOODSPORT XV”, 17/04/2026
Horseshoe, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Miyu Yamashita Vs Janai Kai

Despite her martial arts background, Yamashita’s appearances in GCW’s Bloodsport spin-off have seen her on the losing end both times with high profile losses to Shayna Bazsler and Nattie Neidhart. Third time may be the charm but she has a poor singles record against Janai Kai too whenever they face each other in a more normal pro wrestling environment.

PRIDESTYLE “OUT OF THIS WORLD”, 17/04/2026
Bizarre Bar, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Special Single Match: Taniya Vs Miu Watanabe

Unless something else gets announced, the last TJPW related match to look forward to in Vegas is Miu Watanabe taking on Taniya at one of the PrideStyle shows. Taniya holds the promotion’s women’s title but this has not been advertised as a title match.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “VANCOUVER PREMIERE – DAY 2” Results

April 13, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “VANCOUVER PREMIERE – DAY 2”, 12/04/2026
Great Canadian Hastings Racecourse & Casino, Vancouver, BC, Canada
352 Fans

1. HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki defeated Wakana Uehara & Toga when HIMAWARI pinned Toga with the Sunflower Tempest (14:40).
2. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Kristara with the Famouser (6:05).
3. Liiza Hall & Uta Takami defeated Raku & Pom Harajuku when Hall pinned Harajuku with the Piledriver (10:23).
4. Miu Watanabe defeated Cherry Blossom with the Tear Drop (8:12).
5. Miyu Yamashita defeated Nicole Matthews with the Skull Kick (13:41).
6. Yuki Arai & Suzume defeated J-Rod & Sakura Hattori when Suzume pinned Hattori with the Ring A Bell (14:01).

The second half of the Vancouver tour was also the go home show for the upcoming show in Las Vegas. The main event had the Princess Of Princess Champion and International Princess Champion teaming up to fight their Vegas challengers. J-Rod almost took care of the two champions all by herself when she lifted up both Yuki Arai & Suzume into a Double Samoan Drop. Sakura Hattori took over to try and finish off Suzume but fell to the Ring A Bell instead, handing the ninja her first proper defeat since her gimmick change. After the match Arai & Suzume told the fans that they want to come back to Vancouver. Sayuri Namba finished the show by saying Tokyo Joshi Pro made so many new friends this weekend and Tokyo Joshi Pro would love to see them all again.

Back in 2023 Miyu Yamashita and Nicole Matthews swapped wins against each other with singles matches held in Canada and America. Today was the rubber match and Yamashita dodged Matthews finisher to bounce off the rope and knock her down with the Skull Kick. Yamashita recalled her first match with Matthews in Canada and said she never forgot that day. She was able to win today but it was a close call, which means Yamashita needs to get even stronger. Matthews hopes she gets to fight her again someday so she can even the score 2-2.

An interesting opponent was found for Miu Watanabe. She took on Cherry Blossom, a Japanese woman who lives in Canada and trained to become a pro wrestler over there after becoming a fan a few years ago. She’s only about a year into her wrestling career and was put through her paces by Watanabe. Despite making a comeback, Blossom made the rookie mistake of charging right into Watanabe’s counter and she was beaten with the Tear Drop. When Watanabe learned of Blossom’s background, she was happy to find another Japanese person to share her love of pro wrestling with while in Vancouver.

First, Raku & Pom Harajuku entered their match eating packets of crisps. Then during the match they briefly ran off and wheeled out a trolly that had been converted into the “412 RakuPom” bus! Harajuku climbed into it and Raku pushed her all the way into Liiza Hall at ringside! However Uta Takami grabbed hold of Raku to stop her from getting into the ring while Hall gave Harajuku a Cattle Mutilation followed by the Piledriver for the victory.

*Red Team 1 – 2 White Team.
6d. Final Single Match – Special Rules: Yuki Arai defeated Pom Harajuku with the Scorpion Death Lock (4:03).

Springtime means it’s time to hold a sports day outdoors in the sunshine. There were a Red Team and White Team put together in the main event for sports day themed wrestling matches. A point was given to the winners of every game and when the total scores were tallied up, the winning side would be given an advantage for the final match of the day. In the first game Mizuki and Hyper Misao wore large baskets over their back and it was up to Rika Tatsumi and Raku to throw balls into their team’s basket within a 5 minute time limit. They also has to wrestle during this so the baskets were constantly spilling over until the big rush to fill them up in the final seconds. Misao & Raku narrowly won by having one more ball than Mizuki & Tatsumi.

The second game was a wrestling match done Three-Legged Race style. Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Aino had their legs tied together as did Miyu Yamashita & Mahiro Kiryu. They then proceeded to try and wrestle while moving in sync with their partners. Yamashita & Kiryu came up with the bright idea to use a Backslide Pin together on their opponents to win the match and tie the competition. The final round was a Baton Relay race but it begun with a tug of war. The Red Team won that and were allowed take a head start while Nakajima had to make herself dizzy spinning around a baseball bat before the White Team could take off from the start line. The baton race was split into a bread eating contest, a sack race, a scavenger hunt, a ping pong ball carrying competition and then ended with Pom Harajuku beating Yuki Arai in a blindfold race to ensure the White Team scored more points than the Red Team.

The grand finale came down to a singles match between Arai and Harajuku. Since the White Team had the higher score, Harajuku’s advantage was she only need a 1 Count Pinfall to win. Arai would have to settle with needing a 2 Count Pinfall in order to be the victor. Harajuku tried many times to pin her opponent but Arai withstood her attacks and soon everyone piled into the ring to carry their captains into battle. When things calmed down, Harajuku covered Arai’s eyes with a blindfold but was still unable to get that 1 Count. Instead Arai trapped Harajuku in the Scorpion Death Lock to make her give up. After the match Arai said everyone in Tokyo Joshi Pro will do their best in the new semester.

The International Princess Title is already scheduled to be defended in Las Vegas next week but the next contender after that had to be decided with a 5 Way Match that was one fall to a finish. It was everyone for themselves but alliances were still quickly made and then broken. Uta Takami kept trying to put Haru Kazashiro in the Koala Clutch but was stopped by Shino Suzuki and then Mifu Ashida. After that Ashida and HIMAWARI took each other out of action with a double down, leaving them as easy targets for Kazashiro and Suzuki to get rid of. That left Kazashiro and Suzuki left to fight it out in the ring. Kazashiro blocked the Belly-To-Belly Suplex and lifted Suzuki over into the Fisherman Suplex to win the match and get a IP Title shot for next month. She said this year is the first where she is entirely dedicated to being a pro wrestler so it was a goal of hers to get a singles title shot. Now that she has it she is determined not to lose the challenge on 4th May.

Meanwhile Sakura Hattori won a tag match against Suzume in a preview of the IP Title match happening in Vegas. Suzume said she has learned there are aspects about Hattori she never knew about and she has to keep focus solely on her for now. Hattori described her own performance as superb craftmanship and everyone should look forward to the finished product.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ IN FUKUOKA” Results

April 5, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ IN FUKUOKA”, 05/04/2026
Acros Fukuoka Event Hall
357 Fans

1. Sakura Hattori defeated Shion Kanzaki with the Rakkateicho (6:25).
2. 3 Way Match: Mahiro Kiryu defeated Hyper Misao and Ren Konatsu when Kiryu pinned Konatsu with the Apology-Style Cradle (8:41).
3. Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer defeated Yuki Aino & Chika Nanase when Kamifuku pinned Nanase with the Famouser (10:41).
4. Mizuki defeated Wakana Uehara with the Cutie Special (8:48).
5. HIMAWARI, Shino Suzuki & Mifu Ashida defeated Suzume, Haru Kazashiro & Uta Takami when HIMAWARI pinned Kazashiro with the Sunflower Tempest (9:32).
6. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Raku & Pom Harajuku when Watanabe pinned Harajuku after they Daydream Eternity (13:48).
7. Miyu Yamashita & Shoko Nakajima defeated Yuki Arai & Toga when Yamashita pinned Toga with the Skull Kick (17:26).

Miyu Yamashita made it home to Fukuoka and had a pretty dramatic day to go with it. In the main event she got a bloody lip but toughed through it to get the victory. She told Shoko Nakajima they were able to win by sheer willpower. She then spoke to everyone about the recent news of her martial arts mentor recently passing away. Master Daijiro Matsuda of the Toughs Dojo in Fukuoka unexpectedly passed away in March. According to Yamashita, he was the person who first taught her martial arts and gave her the opportunity to become a pro wrestler. Yamashita said she fought with all of her might for him today and wanted to take this opportunity to talk about him. Nakajima bets Matsuda never expected Yamashita to become such a monster in the ring and probably laughed hysterically watching her matches. The two of them also talked about how tough Yuki Arai & Toga were today. It shows that Tokyo Joshi Pro’s ceiling keeps raising higher and higher so they should aim for the top!

Pom Harajuku wheeled out the “RakuPom Stall” where Raku offered to serve Daydream bowls of ramen during their match. They later tried to push it into their opponents but Miu Watanabe stopped it in their tracks and Rika Tatsumi crushed it by jumping onto it from the ring apron.

The majority of wrestlers currently involved in the International Princess Title scene were thrown into a 6-Woman Tag Match. The champion Suzume got to have a good look at the participants in the upcoming 5-Way No. 1 Contender match. It ended with HIMAWARI getting the win on the other team, pinning Haru Kazashiro with the Sunflower Tempest. HIMAWARI said she’s never been in a 5 Way Match before but around this time last year she won three matches in a single day to earn an IP Title shot. Mifu Ashida revealed that ever since she joined TJPW, the first championship she wanted to challenge for and win is the IP Title so she can go wrestle overseas more often. The recent Texas tour has only made her desire for it stronger. Shino Suzuki thinks she is the only person who should get the title shot for 4th May. There are so many things she wants to do as champion she doesn’t know where to start. Uta Takami believes she can pull off a big miracle that will surprise everyone by winning the 5 Way.

In a change from the normal events, Hyper Misao was attacked before she got the chance to speak on the microphone and it was by Mahiro Kiryu of all people! Kiryu framed Ren Konatsu for the attack but felt guilty about it and apologised later in the match during her Knee Drop spot. Konatsu was able to hit the Aries Comet on Misao later in the match but Kiryu cradled her into an Apology looking pinfall to win the match.

The Flying Forearm strike that Sakura Hattori does from the top rope with all of the ninja hand sign posing is called the Rakkateicho.

TJPW’s Upcoming International Lineups

April 2, 2026

Some of these lineups were already posted yesterday but given that we finally have the Vancouver matches announced I figure it would be good to do an roundup for Tokyo Joshi Pro’s upcoming overseas shows.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “VANCOUVER PREMIERE – DAY 1”, 11/04/2026
Great Canadian Hastings Racecourse & Casino, Vancouver, BC, Canada

1. Suzume Vs Alexia Nicole
2. Miyu Yamashita & HIMAWARI Vs Nicole Matthews & Liiza Hall
3. Yuki Kamifuku Vs Shino Suzuki
4. Sakura Hattori & Toga Vs Raku & Pom Harajuku
5. Uta Takami Vs Amira
6. Yuki Arai & Wakana Uehara Vs J-Rod & Miu Watanabe

The cards for next week’s Vancouver tour are now out. The two main events will build up the Yuki Arai versus J-Rod match happening in Las Vegas a couple of days later. There are also some guest faces old and new appearing. Amira has wrestled on several of TJPW’s American shows in the past, the ones that were co-promoted with local companies like Prestige and DEFY. Same with Liiza Hall on a smaller level. Alicia Nicole is making her first TJPW appearance here.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “VANCOUVER PREMIERE – DAY 2”, 12/04/2026
Great Canadian Hastings Racecourse & Casino, Vancouver, BC, Canada

1. HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki Vs Wakana Uehara & Toga
2. Miyu Yamashita Vs Nicole Matthews
3. Miu Watanabe Vs Cherry Blossom
4. Liiza Hall & Uta Takami Vs Raku & Pom Harajuku
5. Yuki Kamifuku Vs Kristara
6. Yuki Arai & Suzume Vs J-Rod & Sakura Hattori

Nicole Matthews is one of Miyu Yamashita’s regular opponents from her previous tours of Canada so it’s fitting that they will have a quick program going on in this Vancouver tour. Kristara and Cherry Blossom (what a fitting name to have on the show at this time of year) are the newcomers showing up on Night 2.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE IN LAS VEGAS 2026”, 16/04/2026
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

When J-Rod has been over in Japan, she’s been friendly towards Arai. It kind of helps that they haven’t wrestled each other before. But with a big title match happening in Las Vegas soon, J-Rod wants to become the first American Princess Of Princess Champion. With that being said, she also wants to teach Arai the lesson that pro wrestling is not a fairy tale or a place to have dreams. Arai believes that those who have dreams are strong and when they have something to protect like a championship, they are even stronger.

Kyoraku Kyomei are betting on themselves to be the heroes that take the Princess Tag Team Titles back from The IInspiration. On the one hand, Hyper Misao thinks it will be a fun story for a team like them to beat a team of gorgeous champions. Shoko Nakajima however wants to reinforce that her team are fighting their hearts out while Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee seem to be taking everything lightly during their appearances in TJPW so far. Lee claims that she and McKay are fighting champions who will carve out their own history in TJPW.

Shortly after Suzume won the International Princess Title she was given a scroll by Sakura Hattori challenging her to a title shot. Hattori has since sent another scroll explaining that she has made Suzume her next target and she will take the title from her in Las Vegas. Suzume said she loves fighting Kaya Toribami but doesn’t know anything about her new form. One thing she has noticed though is Toribami would not have challenged her as quickly as Hattori is doing. Suzume also wonders if Hattori is a ninja, does that mean she’s always hiding nearby listening in on her?

EVE/TOKYO JOSHI PRO “EVE X TJPW”, 25/04/2026
Big Penny Social, London, England

1. EVE International Title Next Contender Tournament – Round 1: Shoko Nakajima Vs Hollie Barlow
2. EVE International Title Next Contender Tournament – Round 1: Miyu Yamashita Vs Aliss Ink
3. EVE International Title Next Contender Tournament – Final: X Vs X

There were hints made by EVE that some familiar friends were coming over to England at the end of April. We now know it’s the follow up to the EVE x TJPW that took place back in the summer of 2024. Yamashita and Nakajima will be taking part in a tournament to determine a future challenger for the EVE International Title. Yamashita gets to fight another striker in the form of Aliss Ink while Nakajima is going to pick on somebody her own size for once when she faces Hollie Barlow.

Hyper Misao and Yuki Aino will also be making the trip over to London.

SAJ/TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SAJ X TJPW”, 26/04/2026
Centro Sport Cesate, Milan, Italy

1. Mirko Mori, Nico Inverardi & Adriano Vs Goro, Merak & Spencer
2. Shoko Nakajima Vs Kanji
3. Sebastian De Witt Vs Miyu Yamashita
4. SAJ Openweight Title: Lupo (c) Vs Kouga

The same crew heads over to Milan the next day joined by a straggler from NOAH. Yamashita is unbeaten in SAJ Wrestling and was meant to get a title match only. However the champion Sebastian De Witt lost the belt a few weeks ago so there goes Yamashita’s chance at winning some Italian gold. Instead Kouga, the former Yu Owada/Owadasan is getting the title shot instead. Away from that corner of the show, Nakajima and Kanji cross paths again after being on the same international team together in CMLL last October.

10. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai defeated Miu Watanabe (c) with the Finally (21:20)
*Miu Watanabe fails in V5. Yuki Arai becomes the 17th Princess Of Princess Champion!

The largest turnout for a Tokyo Joshi Pro ever gathered together in Sumo Hall to see multiple new champions being crowned along with the coronation of Yuki Arai! After many weeks of back and forth tag matches with Miu Watanabe, Arai got to have the last word with a definitive victory to become the new Princess Of Princess Champion. Watanabe was able to block the Finally but did not expect Arai to follow it up with the Rookie Award. Watanabe hit back with a Batting Hammer swing only for Arai to respond again with a Big Boot followed by the Full Nelson Buster. While Arai was too hurt to make the pin there and then, she got into position to hit the Finally and pin Watanabe for the three count.

Arai received the brand new 3rd Generation Princess Title and thanked Watanabe for the match they just had. She convinced Watanabe to get back into the ring so Arai could talk about how much she aspired to be like her, from her debut match with her and all the time they spent training together ever since. Today is the start of another new day and Arai hopes she will fight Watanabe even more. This time it can be her who accepts Watanabe’s challenge for the title. Watanabe said she would like to see Arai hold the title for as long as she can but she is will still aim to become the champion again so she can hold the new belt. They will always friends who will fight for the rest of their lives. When Watanabe left, Arai thanked everyone on the show today for creating such a wonderful time. She thought a lot about what kind of champion she can be and has come up with an answer. She wants to be a champion who can dream and make those dreams come true with her friends. That dream is to make TJPW even bigger and more loved so they can hold a show at the Tokyo Dome! She admits it takes a lot of courage to say that which is why she is saying it in front of everybody. She wants to dream the biggest, most foolish dreams to show everybody the most unbelievable sights!

There was more said during Arai’s backstage comments after the show. She actually talked about a dream like this when she graduated from SKE48 a year ago but it was only in front of 300 people. By being able to dedicate 100% of her time to pro wrestling she has not only grown as a wrestler but has also come to enjoy pro wrestling more. Her first defence will be against J-Rod in Las Vegas next month. They’ve been friends during J-Rod’s tours of Japan but have never wrestled each other. She’s looking forward to fighting her in America and likes that they wear the same costume colours. Watanabe has conflicting feelings coming out of the match. She likes Arai but is worried that she may now start to hate her! She can’t explain what these feelings are. But even though she is no longer the Princess Champion, she will always be Miu-derella. She also seems to have attracted the attention of one of the outsiders today. But more on that later…

Ober Eats wanted to defend the Princess Tag Team Titles against a team more glamourous than them. Well, be careful what your ask for. The newly redesigned Princess Tag Titles now belong to The IInspiration! The challengers looked to be in trouble when Yuki Kamifuku gave them the Double Famouser. Things changed when Wakana Uehara tried to do the Sushi Tornado but Jessie McKay countered it into a Blue Thunder Bomb. Cassie Lee took Kamifuku out of the running with the Twist Of Fate, leaving Uehara all by herself. The IInspiration took advantage of the opening and used The IIdolizer on her to win the titles. Backstage Kamifuku thinks the moment they lost was when they saw The IInspiration walk out looking like they were dressed for a night out in Roppongi. She is annoyed that she lost the titles but looks forward to seeing what her next path will be. Uehara said she wants to win all of the championships, both single and tag team. Kamifuku advised her to reflect on today’s loss first and not to get greedy so quickly. Uehara doesn’t know what the future holds but she thanks everyone for supporting Ober Eats. The IInspiration said they were taken aback by how much heart their opponents showed but they’ve been teaming together for almost 20 years and are unbeatable with that kind of experience.

Every time MIRAI has been in an International Princess Title match this year she has brought along someone from Michinoku Pro to stand in her corner. That continued today with Hayato Jr. Fujita making an appearance! But by the end of the bout the spotlight was on Suzume for bringing the title back to TJPW. MIRAI hit her with some heavy Lariats along the way including one to counter a Diving Cross Body from the top rope after a weird looking standoff. Suzume’s use of the Ring A Bell made the difference, with the springboard version putting MIRAI down for the count. The two BeeStar wrestlers then embraced each other after the match. Backstage MIRAI talked about how often she would lose matches in TJPW and be left looking up at the lights. Today felt a little different because of how much she has grown since leaving TJPW. She definitely wants to fight Suzume again. Meanwhile Suzume said she is who she is today because of MIRAI and meeting her again reaffirmed her love for TJPW. Now that she has the IP Title again she wants to defend it against wrestlers from all over the world to make it a championship that everybody wants to fight for. However Sakura Hattori would find Suzume backstage and hand over a scroll to her. In it was a message declaring a challenge for a title match. Suzume accepted her challenge.

Before the intergender tag match could begin, Super Sasadango Machine had a PowerPoint Presentation to explain how he and Hyper Misao could beat Konosuke Takeshita & Yuka Sakazaki today. However the PowerPoint said they have no chance of winning because the married couple are superior to them in every aspect and have a perfectly harmonious relationship to boot. Instead, Sasadango figured the best plan was to have forced synchronization by getting the audience to speak out CyberFight’s corporate philosophy in unison. Misao then led the audience to chant the 2026 slogan for TJPW, “KAWAII! DREAM! STRONG! Pro wrestling that makes you look forward to tomorrow!” Sasadango also worked out that if you mixed their opponent’s names together, you would get Kohnosuke Sakazaki, the guitarist from The Alfee. Using that as inspiration the plan would be for Sasadango to immobilize Takeshita on the stage while Misao summons several wrestlers dressed like her to all beat Sakazaki in the ring. The final part of the plan would be for Misao to spray Sakazaki in the face and then pin her for the win.

As the match began, Sasadango lured Takeshita up to the stage by waving around his personal 1950s style Leica camera. Sakazaki told Takeshita he could just buy a new one but he ignored her to chase after Sasadango. Misao then summoned her extras Hyper MiKAWAII (Uta Takami), Hyper MiDREAM (Ren Konatsu) and Hyper MiSTRONG (Toga) so the four of them could all attack Sakazaki while chanting their slogan. However the four way spray attack backfired when Sakazaki ran out of the way and everyone blinded each other instead. Later when the fighting escaped the ring again, Takeshita missed a Big Boot meant for Sasadango and accidentally hit Sakazaki with it! Later in the match Misao went for the spray again but found out it was now empty. She called for a pause so she could speak on the microphone because she wasn’t able to do it earlier due to Sasadango’s PowerPoint. In her speech she said she was the first one to raise her hand when TJPW were looking for an opponent for Sakazaki’s return. Misao does not have most of her seniors still around in TJPW and Sakazaki is one of them. When Sakazaki graduated from TJPW, Misao never had the courage to express her feelings and was left to regret it. She pleaded with Takeshita to tag Sakazaki in so she could fight her one on one for the rest of the match. Sakazaki would win that battle but Sasadango broke the pin count believing Misao could still win. The match returned to being two against two and Sakazaki got to beat Misao proper with the Magical Magical Girl Splash. Backstage Sakazaki said the “Cultural Pro Wrestling” style provided by DDT and TJPW is something special. Both Sasadango & Misao will continue to represent that style for a long time to come. She also vaguely remembers feeling a kick to her head at some point during the match but Takeshita told her she’s just imaginining things. Takeshita also said that he and Sakazaki will strive for greater heights together hand in hand along with their pet dog Kenshiro. Misao thanked Sasadango for somehow achieving her selfish wish to fight Sakazaki one on one within a 3 meter radiance of Sumo Hall.

High reviews are popping off for Match #6. Miyu Yamashita & Arisu Endo tried their hardest to stand their ground against Spark Rush. Even from the beginning the tension was high with Yamashita and Sareee staring each other down in the ring with some hair pulling to go with it. Endo lived up to her promise not to be the odd one out of the match by bringing the fight to both Sareee & Takumi Iroha. Late in the match Sareee got to roll Yamashita into position for a Double Stomp only for Yamashita to fire back at her with the Skull Kick. Endo wasn’t able to last much longer fighting Iroha by herself. Despite a spirited fight, she was put away with the Running Three. Backstage Iroha said Yamashita was someone who was always on her radar and she hasn’t had enough of fighting her yet. She’d like to see how Yamashita would fare against her outside of TJPW. Both of Spark Rush also thought Endo was just some brat but it turns out she has a lot of guts. Sareee was happy to have Iroha by her side for her return to TJPW. She would like to fight Yamashita again soon but Miu Watanabe has also caught her attention. Yamashita called the match fun but thinks the fun will disappear if she doesn’t win. Endo wanted to say she will keep chasing Spark Rush until she can beat them but struggled to fight through the tears. Yamashita instructed her to hold her head up high and say it clearly.

Mizuki entered an epic battle of David Vs Goliath armed with the brand new Burn Pico Pico Core Axe Hammer. But it wasn’t just Andreza Giant Panda she had to worry about. Andreza was accompanied by other New Nemuro Pro Wrestling acts like Ossan Tiger and Mr. USA, the latter of which tried to interfere at a different points in the match. Mizuki survived the massive Headbutt and Spinning Back Fist, then bridged out of the Andreza Press to start Double Stomping on the panda. She then grabbed her new weapon, climbed the top rope and just like she did two years earlier knocked him down with an almighty swing! Mr. USA spoiled the moment by pulling the ref out of the ring but Mizuki took care of him by doing the Whirling Candy on top of him. Andreza found the fighting spirit to stand back up but Mizuki took him down again this time with the Diving Foot Stomp right to the face. That was the finishing blow for Mizuki to pin the panda. Backstage Mizuki says she really loves pandas but Andreza is evil. With that said she is willing to put this all behind her so she and the Giant Panda can become friends. Andreza’s excuse for losing is he is usually in hibernation at this time of year until early September. He would like to come back for revenge later in the year during a more warmer season.

The Tojo Tokosatsu Club got to achieve their dream of fighting alongside the Super Sentai. They made a big entrance with three of the red rangers Ninja Red, Geki Red & ~~Goon Red~~ Go-On Red. However their opponents had a suprise of their own when they were joined by a trio of villains from the same show and they took Rise Shirai hostage! Pom Harajuku told the Club they shouldn’t have brought their hobby into the ring. If they want to save Shirai then they should forfeit the match! Yuki Aino admitted she was excited to see the Super Sentai collaboration also included bringing in monsters but her team didn’t know what to do. Suddenly the voice actor Tetsu Inada left the commentary table and entered the ring. He said the Super Sentai will never lose and he encouraged the audience to cheer for them because that powers up superheroes just like it does pro wrestlers. Together, the Super Sentai and Tokosatsu Club sent the villains fleeing from the ring, freeing Shirai in the process. It was then time to start the actual match. Harajuku wasn’t worried because Aja Kong & VENY are more dangerous than any monster. The two of them were a tough pair for the Tokosatsu Club to fight. The Club tried to form a Megazord but collapsed under each other’s weight. The other team suffered a setback of their own when Kong missed Shoko Nakajima with the steel can and hit Harajuku with it instead. Haru Kazashiro knocked Kong out of the ring with a second rope Dropkick and the coast was clear for Nakajima to pin Harajuku with the Diving Senton. Nakajima said she worked way harder than usual because she wanted to look her coolest in front of Ninja Red. Aino didn’t want to show a pathetic performance in front of the Super Sentai. Kazashiro thinks they were stronger than usual because their feelings are the source of their strength and the Super Sentai collaboration magnified them today. Kong blamed Harajuku over calling for her to use the metal can because you can’t use an 18 liter can for everything. There’s a time and place for to use it and Harajuku’s timing is terrible! Kong also thought the monsters were useless because they all came unarmed to fight a bunch of Sentai carrying swords and guns!

Many stressful games of Rock Paper Scissors have prepared Shino Suzuki for today’s big match. She couldn’t help but go through it one more time with HIMAWARI as part of their entrance together. The training paid off because Bumping gRitters were able to win their match! Suzuki used the Belly-To-Belly Suplex on Toga while HIMAWARI was able to pin Ren Konatsu with the Sunflower Tempest for the victory. Suzuki was so happy over the result because before the show she said Bumping gRitters were going to leave the ring by walking up the Ryogoku entrance ramp instead of leaving through the side exit. She got to live up to her word. HIMAWARI said next time they’ll try to do it again but on their own. They think they might even get to fight for a championship the next time they come to Sumo Hall! Konatsu talked about how everyone else in the match is from the 2023 class and seeing them all fired up shows she still has a long way to go. Toga said she’ll work hard to overtake the gRitters and win next time.

The Battle Royal was a free for all before it even began. After Minimo made a big entrance with Mari Yaguchi, a video played on the screen showing Raku backstage pinning Antonio Honda while he was asleep to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Raku then made it down to the ring to start the match as the defending champion. Yaguchi interfered to attack Raku with a Sexy Beam but the two then joined forces to fight off Mifu Ashida. Raku broke off the alliance by hitting Minimo with the Poppo Chop for the first elimination. Momo Sato got to show off her skills against Chika Nanase but was ultimately taken out by Nanase’s Inari Torii submission hold. Rika Tatsumi appeared under her psycho persona The Great Wakabayashi-kun. She was armed with a foreign object that she used to choke both Nanase and Kira Summer. It also had a blade hidden inside it which she used to stab Raku’s pillow. After doing that she pinned Raku with the Neck Hanging Bomb to win the title. Sakura Hattori made quick work of eliminating Nanase when she entered the match but putting her attention on Matcha afterwards allowed Summer to knock her from the ring apron to the floor for an elimination. Mahiro Kiryu then got to do the same thing to both Summer and Matcha. Sumire Uesaka made her big entrance by rampaging through the crowd armed with a saber just like Tiger Jeet Singh (Tetsu Inada was following her while dressed as Umanosuke Ueda). Honda used his Gongitsune joke to knock Ashida out of the ring. The Shining Gongitsune meant for Kiryu hit Tatsumi instead and Kiryu rolled her up to win the title next. Honda was now ready to fight his war with Uesaka until Uesaka tripped and injured herself. She told her own Gongitsune joke and hit Honda with it to send him tumbling out of the ring. She then used a Victor Roll on Kiryu to set up a Knee Bar submission, tapping Kiryu out to win the Battle Royal and become Iron Man Champion! She’s a little worried about defending it because her saber went missing during the match and she doesn’t know where to find it. Meanwhile Momo Sato said she had so much fun she wants to start from scratch and join TJPW as a trainee. Her goal as a pro wrestler will be to one day take down her brother Daichi Sato!

Today is Uta Takami’s birthday and she got to celebrate it by beating Shion Kanzaki in the opening match of the show. While Kanzaki had some spots of offence including a Jumping Back Elbow from the second rope, Takami took her down with the Koala Clutch and tightened the grip around the body with her legs until Kanzaki gave up. Takami said one of her wrestling goals is to win a match in Sumo Hall. It’s not a big enough goal to make her cry tears of joy but she’s still incredibly happy to achieve it today. Kanzaki said she was very nervous to be in the first match of the show in front of so many people inside a big venue. She gave it her all which is why the defeat feels even more frustrating. She promised to work even harder so that she can beat Takami one day.
