2025 came to a close with the final show of Super Japan, perhaps maybe ever. Except it turns out the sub-brand has a future after all, at least heading into 2026. It’s all thanks to Super Japan’s ace Yuji Nagata. First he led his team to victory in the main event. He fought fire with fire by using the crazy energy of Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Fuminori Abe to combat the crazy team energy of Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Kasai & Munenori Sawa. Nagata and Kasai spent just as much time dueling each other with their salute poses while Takagi and Abe brawled over at the Shinjuku FACE counter. Kasai pulled out a bundle of skewers and Kuroshio tried to physically stop him from using them. He failed and Kasai got to dig the skewers into Nagata’s head while Nagata held Takagi in the Arm Lock. That only made Nagata apply more pressure to the submission hold though and Takagi had to give up from the extra intensity his tag partner inadvertedly created.

After the match Takagi thanked everyone for the match and said his year long celebration of his 30th Anniversary in wrestling has finally come to an end. He told the others to show their appreciation to Nagata and the five of them all bowed to him. Nagata asked Takagi if this was really the end of Super Japan because after everything Takagi put him through during the project it shouldn’t end just like that. Takagi said he doesn’t have a venue booked for another show so there is nothing he can do about it. Nagata then revealed that he has Shinjuku FACE booked for 24th March and he’ll let Takagi use it for the next Super Japan date! Takagi accepted the offer so Super Japan can return next year! It will even have a familiar event name: “JUDGEMENT”. Takagi then asked Nagata to do the Nagata Dance with everyone in the ring so they can end the show on an even higher note.

For one night only The Sailor Boys reunited although none of them had any intentions of actually reliving the gimmick. Instead The Brahman Brothers interrupted the entrance song “Keep On Journey” so they could bring their usual deranged wrestling style to the table. Taiji Ishimori was willing to go along for the ride and join in the brawl against the opposing team of Toryumon/Dragon Gate linked wrestlers. Shuji Kondo had the power to fight back but a missed Lariat ended up hitting his partners Ken Ohka & Mac Matsushita by mistake instead. The Brahmans then beat up Matsushita with a traffic sign before Ishimori could make him give up to the Bone Lock. Ishimori also had black goo pouring out of his mouth while he was applying his finisher. After the match The Brahmans announced that The Sailor Boys are disbanding and will go back to being regular pro wrestlers. However they might reunite with Ishimori and team up again in twenty years time.

Back in their DDT days MIKAMI and Takashi Sasaki were often seen as rivals to each other. But given this is an alternate take to the early years of DDT, here in Super Japan they’ve been paired together as a tag team. They took on a revival of an old DDT gimmick called “Showa” with somebody claiming to be the second generation of the masked wrestler showing up with a second similar looking wrestler named “Reiwa” as his tag team partner. The DDT originals won out in the end with MIKAMI countering a Japanese Leg Roll Clutch from “Showa” II into a Heisei-Style School Boy for the three count.

Match #2 ended in a No Contest when Muscle Sakai and DJ Nira coaxed the referee Ishiguro into taking part in the action. At several points in the match the room would go dark and when the lights came back on, Sakai and Nira would swap positions. The spot ended up with Ishiguro unexpectedly finding himself on the top turnbuckle where he decided to do a Diving Cross Body onto the wrestlers and then stomp on them in the corner until the match was called off.

*Kakeru Sekiguchi becomes the 1,792nd champion.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Mahiro Kiryu defeated Kakeru Sekiguchi (c) with a Banana Peel Pin (13:10 pm).
*Mahiro Kiryu becomes the 1,793rd champion.

The final Tokyo Joshi Pro show of 2025 brought along the return of the Princess Rumble for its second edition. Last year’s winner Miu Watanabe couldn’t achieve the repeat thanks to Mizuki, Arisu Endo and Mifu Ashida all piling on top of her for the pinfall elimination. Ashida also used her pompoms to lure Max The Impaler into their elimination. Ram Kaichow, Ryo Mizunami and Kuishinbo Kamen all took part as the guest entrants but the finish came down to Mizuki pinning Ashida with the Cutie Special to win the whole thing. After the match Mizuki thanked the fans for supporting TJPW all year long because 2026 will be here in the blink of an eye. She invited the roster out to the ring and they all promised to give everyone wrestling that will make them look forward to tomorrow. Miyu Yamashita then led everyone in a ippon-jime clap to close out the show.

The last preview for the Princess Tag Team Titles match ended in favour of the challengers. Haru Kazashiro defeated Wakana Uehara, narrowly avoiding the Banana Pillow to instead pin her opponent with the Fisherman Suplex. Kazashiro brought up their last singles match against each other which was during last November’s Next Generation Tournament ’24. She’s now won two warm up matches in a row and wants to put all of this momentum into the tag titles match on 4th January. Uehara took the loss in her stride. Being a champion has made her stronger so she won’t be crying after losing matches anymore. The 4th January show is the first match of the year for everyone in TJPW so she really wants Ober Eats to successfully defend the belts against Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed next week.

The year ended with some Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title shenanigans going on throughout the show as well. Rika Tatsumi submitted the champion Mahiro Kiryu in a tag match to win the belt, then kicked away her tag partner Toga in an act of paranoia. Kiryu and Kakeru Sekiguchi later went looking for Tatsumi, chasing her into a locker room where HIMAWARI was alone eating a banana. They kicked her out and threw away the banana peel while Tatsumi suggested they play a card game of Old Maid to determine who should be champion. Sekiguchi won the game to become the new champ only to slip on the nearby banana peel while walking away and knock herself out. Kiryu quickly pinned her to become the Iron Man Champion again.

Four more teams were announced to take part in next Spring’s Max Heart Tournament. They are Kyoraku Kyomei, Bumping gRitters, Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami and Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida.

Last minute changes to the card are happening because Ren Konatsu is feeling unwell and won’t be able to wrestle on the show. Uta Takami has been taken out of the Princess Rumble to take Konatsu’s place as Suzume’s opponent in the opening match. Because of that the Rumble will now just have 19 entries instead of 20. The two mystery participants haven’t been announced in advance as far as I know.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’26”, 04/01/2026

9. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Suzume

Only one of the two debuts planned for Ittenyon is now going ahead. The trainee Shion has taken on the name Shion Kanzaki for her first match. She is from Chiba and was born on 11th February, 2001. She is 156cm tall and was part of her high school’s kendo club. After she graduated from school she formed a band with friends where she was on guitar and vocals. The band split up though and she took on a regular office job until decided to take on pro wrestling because she’s been a fan of it since she was a child.

The other trainee Anri has been pulled from the same match after it was decided she isn’t in the right condition yet to go through with her debut. Both Uta Takami and Ren Konatsu were part of the match too so maybe it can still go ahead as a tag bout with a last minute fill in. Is Ryo Mizunami busy that day?

7. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Kazusada Higuchi defeated To-y, Kazuma Sumi & Yuki Ishida when MAO pinned Sumi with a School Boy Counter (17:53).

A last minute change to the card created a DNA Vs D GENERATIONS themed main event for DDT’s last visit to Shinjuku FACE for 2025. The veteran side ended up winning the match but offered support to the new blood since the next D GENERATIONS CUP tournament will begin in the new year. They see how hard the D GENERATIONS work together and it makes them want to work even harder just so they won’t get overtaken.

Takeshi Masada has made up his mind to leave SCHADENFREUDE International in the new year but right now he is still part of the group for a couple of more days. He and Chris Brookes were meant to team up today but the decision led to them having a singles match against each other instead. Antonio Honda wasn’t at the show so the ringside attendants like Hinata Kasai participated in the SCHADENFREUDE spots in his absence. Bunbun was there though and in an act that turned out to be more neutral than it looked, he interrupted the rubber band spot by cutting the band in half with a pair of scissors. The band was already stretched by this point so one half each ended up snapping into Brookes and Masada’s faces. Honda’s presence ended up being felt anyway when a voice of his started telling a Gongitsune joke while Brookes and Masada tried replicating the move on each other. Brookes ended up winning the match cleanly with the Praying Mantis Bomb. He told Masada he doesn’t understand why he is leaving SCHADENFREUDE but everyone in the group will always be each other’s family. He encouraged Masada to reach the top of DDT while everyone else cheers him on. Masada said he would like to continue being in the unit because he loves it so much but now is the time for him to go searching for his own style using his own abilities. SCHADENFREUDE will always be family to him and he hopes they will support him now as rivals.

Special rules were created for Match #5 because Akito wanted Danshoku Dieno to restrain himself from giving everyone kisses on Christmas Eve. Akito proposed that the match would ban kisses for the first five minutes then it would be allowed after that. Dieno called the rule unfair so he counter offered that once the ban is lifted, you will need to kiss your opponent before pinning or submitting them in order to win. Akito agreed and almost had his way when Kazuki Hirata nearly lost the match several times in the first five minutes. But he was able to kick out of Jun Akiyama’s pins. He also survived a Boston Crab from HARASHIMA while Akito was too busy tying his own shoelaces to break the hold. The five minutes ran out and with a shout of “Merry Christmas!” from the ring announcer, Dieno was allowed to kiss again. Everyone else now had to kiss their opponent before trying to win the match. Dieno’s counter plan almost backfired because he didn’t want to kiss Sanshiro Takagi even when the opportunity was there for him to win. Takagi ran in to kiss Dieno but missed and got HARASHIMA instead. The same mistake happened to Hinata Kasai but when it looked like it was going to happen to Akiyama, he gave Takagi the Exploder Suplex instead. HARASHIMA forgot about the rule but ended up remembering to kiss Hirata before pinning him with the Somato to win.

Kumadori got a long awaited measure of revenge on Ilusion when their delayed singles match finally took place. Ilusion targeted Kumadori’s legs but when that plan didn’t work he resorted to blatant cheating including a ref bump and a Low Blow. Kumadori blocked Ilusion from using a chair though and gave him a Low Blow of his own before pinning him with a Modified Cancun Tornado for the victory. He considers the feud between them done with and is looking forward to reaching the top next year both as a professional dancer with O-MENZ and as a pro wrestler with DDT. Ilusion said he wanted to beat Kumadori to protect DDT because he is the only person to notice O-MENZ are invading the company. He cannot believe that CyberFight is letting this crisis go unnoticed!

Some last minute changes to tomorrow’s show have taken place due to the aftermath of Sunday’s show. Takeshi Masada has decided to leave SCHADENFREUDE International in order to start fresh for the new year. Before he leaves the unit on 3rd January, he’s going to face Chris Brookes one on one before he says goodbye.

The above match has led to a change in the main event. Brookes and Masada were originally booked for a tag match against Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida. Now Higuchi and Ishida are moved into the main event but they will be on different teams. Same goes for Yuki Ueno and To-y as well as MAO and Kazuma Sumi.

2. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Universal Title – Irregular 3 Way Match: Yuki Ueno (c/c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Chris Brookes

The problem with having double the championships is you get double the challenges. Yuki Ueno has both Daisuke Sasaki and Chris Brookes wanting to fight him for championships next. Akito came up with a solution to do a 3 Way Match that will last for two falls. The first fall will be for the DDT Universal Title and the second will be for the KO-D Openweight Title!

The time has come for The Apex to try and take back the KO-D Tag Team Titles from Strange Love Connection. SLC won the belts from The Apex last month in Sumo Hall and MAO has been on Yuki Iino’s mind ever since. Yukio Naya and KANON have some singles match history together too.

6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox
7. KO-D Openweight Title – AXSEED Presents: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Takeshi Masada

Tomorrow’s match order for the final DDT show in Korakuen Hall for 2025 has been decided on. Takeshi Masada has not done a good job convincing fans he has a chance of beating Yuki Ueno for the KO-D Openweight Title. I don’t think Christmas miracles can work that hard either.

1. Princess Of Princess Title Next Challenger Match: X Vs X

Not long after the dust settles from Watanabe Vs Suzume, a new challenger will be decided for the Princess Title. The match format and number of participants has not been decided yet. Most likely Tokyo Joshi Pro is waiting to see how the results on 4th January will turn out before deciding who deserves a chance at earning a title shot.

Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs X

What has been confirmed is the next No. 1 Contender will get their title match at Sumo Hall for “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”! Watanabe’s current goal is to keep her title reign lasting long enough for her to be the defending champion at Ryogoku. If she gets past Suzume she will then be all clear to make that dream come true.

7. KO-D Openweight Title – AXSEED Presents: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Takeshi Masada

The stipulation for the next DDT Extreme Title match was decided over a bizarre online game of Rock Paper Scissors. To-y and Yasu Urano had to post videos of their choices at the same time but they kept ending in ties until Urano finally got the win. He came up with rules that every two minutes a different move will be revealed and the wrestlers need to win the match using that move. The moves will be selected by fan suggestions on Twitter. Countouts and disqualifications still apply and if the match ends in a draw, Urano will officially become the Extreme Champion.

Some of the big pairings to look forward to include Mizuki Vs Rika Tatsumi and Miyu Yamashita Vs Yuki Arai. All of the singles matches on the show will have a 7 minute time limit.

The final Tokyo Joshi Pro of the year will feature the second annual Princess Rumble. 20 competitors will take part including Ram Kaichow as one of the guests. Two mystery wrestlers are part of the lineup but if it’s like last year at least one of them will be revealed before then.

“Twin Magic” might be on the cards with Kakeru Sekiguchi coming back for the show and teaming with Mahiro Kiryu again.

Can the two of them take the hair of both Daisuke Sasaki & Demus?


BASARA’s End Of Year Lineups, GanPro Mixed Tag Choices, Full TJPW Ittenyon Card

December 15, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 295 ~TAKAGARI 31~”, 27/12/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. ~Jun-chan’s Grilled Meat Voucher Contest~ East Vs West Knockout Match!: FUMA, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, SAGAT, Lil’ Kraken & Takeru Inoue Vs Ryuichi Sekine, Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino, Minoru Fujita & Banana Senga
2. 3 Way Match: Daichi Kazato Vs Ryota Nakatsu Vs Tsutomu Oosugi
3. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda (c) Vs Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura

A grilled meat restaurant in Tokyo is sponsoring a competition during the show where the winning team will receive meal vouchers. I’m having trouble understanding what the rules are because the translation I am getting is it will consist of two matches followed by a knockout round. I can’t tell if that is correct or not. Whatever way the format turns out, it is possible that it can end before everyone can enter the match somehow.

GANBARE☆PRO “BEFORE SUNRISE 2025”, 27/12/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Mizuki Watase, Shigehiro Irie, Munetatsu Nakamura & Sentaro Motoshima Vs Jun Kasai, Takuya Wada, Tyson Maeguchi & Shota Kawakami
2. Mixed 3-Way Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Mahiro Kiryu Vs Yuna Manase & Takashi Sasaki Vs Moeka Haruhi & Gabai Ji-chan Vs HARUKAZE & Hartley Jackson
3. Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Akira Shoji
4. YuuRI 5th Anniversary Match: YuuRI Vs Sareee
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii

The Mixed Tag Match is now a 4 Way thanks to an extra team joining in. The other wrestlers involved all got to pick their partners. Ken Ohka chose Mahiro Kiryu after she earned his respect over playing Mahjong with the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title on the line. Yuna Manase convinced Takashi Sasaki from FREEDOMS to team with her and the two think they can go all the way to becoming champions together. Moeka Haruhi picked Gabai Ji-chan fully knowing that anyone who lays a finger on her elderly partner will get booed out of the building. The new entry is HARUKAZE who heard that Hartley Jackson wanted to take part in the match with her as his partner which means Lethal Weapon are back together for one night only.

This is the complete card for BASARA’s final show of the year. I might be in attendance for this if I arrive in Tokyo early enough in the day to get settled in and then comfortably travel to Shin-Kiba.

9. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Suzume

The full lineup for Ittenyon is here. The Magical Sugar Rabbits are back together and teaming up with Yuki Arai for some extra sweetness. They will face what the Love Triangle would look like if Yuki Aino went all Incredible Hulk on everyone. Instead it’s Max The Impaler teaming with Raku & Pom Harajuku. Normally Raku sides with Aja Kong in the monster friendship chart but Kong will be wrestling earlier on the show in a 3 Way Match with Rika Tatsumi and Mahiro Kiryu. At the time of writing, Kiryu is back to being the current Iron Man Champion so expect that belt to come into play. The last time Kong won that title will be six years ago to the day when the match takes place.

Still speaking of Kong, she will be at Sumo Hall in March as well.

BASARA “BASARA 295 ~TAKAGARI 31~”, 27/12/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda (c) Vs Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura

Last month Daiki Shimomura got to face MJ2 for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles at a 2AW show. He and Lil’ Kraken lost the match and the champions have no interest in fighting him again despite his demand for another shot. However Shimomura will have Takumi Tsukamoto as his partner this time and he is the kind of wrestler Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda like to fight.

BASARA “BASARA 296 ~UTAGE~”, 28/12/2025

3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Kasai & Ippanjin Munenori Sawa Vs Yuji Nagata, Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Fuminori Abe

Another DDT throwback shows back for Super Japan’s next show. In the early 2000s Phantom Funakoshi wrestled in DDT using a masked gimmick called “Showa”. Now many years later Super Japan is debuting a “Showa” II who has inherited the gimmick alongside a new tag team partner named “Reiwa”. The two of them will be MIKAMI & Takashi Sasaki’s opponents.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 27: THE NIGHT THEY CAME HOME”, 13/01/2026

1. Special Single Match: Tokyo Ganesha Vs Princess Ram
2. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs Shota

Recently Chris Brookes and Shota got to hang out in Malaysia together and got to reminisce about Brookes coming to Japan back in 2020. Both have grown a lot since then and they are approaching six years of being friends so they’re going to have a match against each other to celebrate.

A masked wrestler from India named Tokyo Ganesha first appeared last year in Michinoku Pro for their signature Fukumen World League tournament. He has made a handful of appearances in both M-Pro and ChocoPro (oh, I wonder why?) since then and will next make his debut for Baka Gaijin + Friends. His opponent will be Princess Ram.

Mr. Bueno, MAO and Dark King Ueki will all be on the show.
