7. Suzume, Arisu Endo & Shino Suzuki defeated Yuki Arai, Wakana Uehara & Mifu Ashida when Suzume pinned Ashida with the Ring A Bell (13:49).

During the main event, Mifu Ashida and Shino Suzuki faced off, pom poms versus tour flag. When they collided Suzuki was left with a broken flag that left her in anguish. Suzume & Arisu Endo helped her get some revenge by grabbing Ashida and getting Suzuki to triple team her. Yuki Arai had Suzume scouted by countering the Ring A Bell into the Full Nelson Buster. However she & Wakana Uehara were taken out by Endo & Suzuki. Then when it all came down to Suzume against Ashida, Suzume got the win by giving her the Ring A Bell. After the match Suzume praised Suzuki for not giving up when her flag got broken. Backstage both Endo & Suzuki gave advice for Suzume to beat Arai. Endo warned her not to move around too much or else her legs could get tangled up. Suzuki said Arai is really into squishy toys right now so Suzume plays with one in front of her it will distract her. Suzume found neither piece of advice to be helpful. Ashida is becoming worried that she is holding Arai back because she is the one losing their tag matches. However Ashida & Uehara told Arai they can be her cheering group while she prepares to defend the Princess Of Princess Title against Suzume next month. The three of them together can become Kyoto x Cheer Tag!

Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed came out on top of the 3 Way Match to become the No. 1 Contenders for the Princess Tag Team Titles. They found K!SS// to be the stronger of the two opposing teams but HIMAWARI & Toga were enough of a wild card to keep the other teams on their toes. It got to the point where the third party would always cut someone off from winning the match. Yuki Aino finally found the breakthrough by diving onto Miyu Yamshita & Sakura Hattori outside the ring. She then threw Hattori back in for Kazashiro to give her the Fisherman Buster but HIMAWARI broke the pin. From there Prism Greed fought off HIMAWARI & Toga, leading to Aino & Kazashiro giving HIMAWARI the Updraft!! Overdrive for the victory.

After the match, Daydream climbed into the ring to meet their next challengers. Prism Greed said they are at their absolute best right now but Rika Tatsumi’s response was Daydream is also super motivated. They’re motivated enough that they could fight Prism Greed right now! However, Tatsumi would rather build up excitement for the title match. Miu Watanabe agreed and cannot wait for it to happen on 3rd October. Backstage Kazashiro talked about the overwhelming experience she’s gained since the team last challenged for the titles back in January. Meanwhile Daydream are describing them like a couple that’s just started dating while they themselves are like an old married couple nowadays. K!SS// are frustrated that they haven’t gotten close to the Princess Tag Titles yet but they won’t give up on their goal. Toga thought she & HIMAWARI did pretty well because they aren’t a regular tag team like the others. They’ll continue to work hard together and may even team up again in the future, especially if it means Toga no longer gets hit by HIMAWARI’s Hair Whips.

Raku wanted to give a gift to Yuki Kamifuku at the start of their match. She held a bag and told Kamifuku that inside it was a jacket identical to the one she was wearing right now. Kamiyu took a look inside and Raku suddenly pulled the bag over her head and then Cradled her for a nearfall! Kamiyu got her own back by giving Raku a Double Eyepoke afterwards. Raku later took her own jacket and put it on Kamifuku. It felt so comfy that Kamifuku started feeling sleepy. She was thrown out of the ring and started to take a nap on the floor so Raku dragged her up to the entrance. Raku then told the ref to silently count up to 20 so she could win by count out. The plan was working until Rise Shirai announced on the microphone that the count reached 10, immediately waking Kamifuku up. She got back in the ring to beat Raku up and win the match.

The next “HYPE!” show is coming up soon and Hyper Misao still hasn’t finished her script yet, as usual. She brought her laptop to the ring and told her opponents she was withdrawing from the 3 Way Match so she could make progress with her work. Ren Konatsu didn’t believe her and attacked her from behind to start the match. Chika Nanase joined in and the two stomped away while Misao tried to protect her laptop. Misao had no choice but to wrestle the match. Konatsu grabbed the laptop and threatened to break it until Misao warned her that she’d be responsible for “HYPE! 4” not got going ahead. Konatsu got scared so she handed the laptop to Nanase who then safely gave it over to Fumirin. When Fumirin turned her back to find a place to put down the laptop, Misao sprayed both of her opponents in their faces. She asked Fumirin to hand her back the laptop and then pinned Konatsu with La Magistral Cradle.

There was an announcement of Tokyo Joshi Pro doing a special collaboration with the Choshi Electric Railway for Shion Kanzaki’s homecoming show on 12th October. There will be a train departing from Choshi Station at lunchtime and Raku will serve as the special conductor for the final stretch of the route as the train approaches the nearest station to the show’s venue. Shino Suzuki will also be in charge of the in-train announcements. Keep in mind this is not a train journey exclusive for people going to the show. The regular public will still be on board too!

DDT “NANIWA PRO WRESTLING ROAD 2026”, 04/10/2026
Osaka City Higashiyodogawa Ward Kumin Hall

1. Naomi Yoshimura 10th Anniversary Debut Match ~ Special Single Match: Zeus Vs Naomi Yoshimura

A few weeks back Naomi Yoshimura let everyone know that he asked DDT for to book a particular opponent for his 10th Anniversary match scheduled for October. DDT honored his request and it’s now been revealed his opponent is going to be Zeus! The Osaka strongman was the person who originally opened the doors for Yoshimura to get into pro wrestling through his bodybuilding gym. When Yoshimura graduated from high school, he trained under Zeus and credits him for turning his dream of becoming a pro wrestler into reality. Zeus has kept himself busy these past few years with running Osaka Pro, the company he was successfully able to revive back in 2022. He doesn’t wrestle outside of his home promotion that often so for DDT to get him on board for a match that means a lot to Yoshimura is quite a big deal.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP” Results

8. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: Suzume defeated Rika Tatsumi with the Spring Ring A Bell (20:46).

This year’s winner of the Tokyo Princess Cup is someone who is also on track to becoming the queen bee of Tokyo Joshi Pro! All it took was for Suzume to surpass the very person who inspired her to become a pro wrestler in the first place. She faced Rika Tatsumi in the final with both women fighting to win the tournament for the first time. Tatsumi used the fan streamers to her advantage by wrapping them all over Suzume, throwing her into the front row and then jumping into her with a Hip Attack. She then targeted Suzume’s legs in an effort to put a stop to any comebacks. Suzume fought off the persistant Hip Attacks and Choke Holds to catch Tatsumi with a counter attack. There was almost a double knockout when Tatsumi did the Twist Of Fate only for Suzume to hit back with a last ditch Ring A Bell. Tatsumi caught another Ring A Bell to turn it into the Dragon Sleeper but Suzume was able to eventually roll out of it. She then gave Tatsumi a taste of her own medicine by grabbing her neck to choke her! Tatsumi overpowered it and tried to put Suzume in a Sleeper Hold until Suzume used the ropes to bounce herself free and then launch herself into the Spring Ring A Bell for the three count!

After the match Suzume said she became stronger because she admires how much Tatsumi lives her life to the fullest. Today they got to fight each other with all of their might and Suzume couldn’t be happier. She remembers when Tatsumi would call her her arch-nemesis and she is now never going to let that go. Tatsumi gave Suzume a cheeky poke to the head and then hugged her before leaving the ring. Next, Suzume said she has now conquered the hot summer and won’t be stopping there. She called out Yuki Arai to challenge her for the Princess Of Princess Title! She thought Arai is the person who is shining the brightest in TJPW but after today Suzume thinks she can shine even brighter! She is still going to defend her International Princess Title in the meantime but she also wants to fight Arai for the Princess Title too! Arai said she wants to fight Suzume so she can also pour out her love for TJPW. She will give her the title shot at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII” on 3rd October! Suzume ended the show by telling everyone the day after tomorrow will be the 7th Anniversary of her debut. Before she became a pro wrestler she thought the only dreams she could hold onto were those she had when she was a child. But TJPW has taught her she can have as many dreams as she wants at any age! Meanwhile Tatsumi backstage complained about working so hard this summer that she should be rewarded for it with a raise in salary plus other special bonuses from the company.

Hiroyo Matsumoto was one of the guests paying a visit to TJPW today. Next month she is going to team up with Miyu Yamashita at a “TAKAYAMANIA” show but today they were on opposite sides of the semi-main event tag match. Matsumoto also used this time to get a feel for Yuki Arai, taunting the champion to give her her best shot. Matsumoto would later do her part in holding back Yamashita, lifting her up into a Torture Rack while Shoko Nakajima tried to finish off Arai. But Arai dodged the 619 and threw down Nakajima with the Full Nelson Buster. She then put Nakajima in the Scorpion Death Lock and used all of her strength to make Nakajima tap out to the move. Arai said she is going to sleep well tonight because she avenged her loss to Nakajima in the tournament. As for fighting Matsumoto again, Arai thinks that is kind of a scary idea but she would like to fight her again and again to grow strong enough to beat her. Nakajima was disappointed because she considers Matsumoto to be a pioneer for kaiju wrestlers and Nakajima ended up becoming a punching bag like Anguirus in front of “Lady Godzilla”. Matsumoto admitted she doesn’t know a lot about Anguirus and promised to look it up for Nakajima.

There’s no official name yet for Mizuki, Mei Suruga & Uta Takami but the report on the TJPW website refers to them as The KAWAII Trio so let’s go with that for now. They were all a handful for their opponents. Takami accidentally snapped off Ren Konatsu’s toy sheep then annoyed her even more when she said she didn’t want it in the first place. Suruga stopped Miu Watanabe from giving Takami the Giant Swing and copied her ponytail pose. She then tried to do the Apple Mutilation on Watanabe but Watanabe powered out of it and gave her the Giant Swing instead. Arisu Endo went on a roll against Takami & Mizuki then helped Watanabe set Mizuki up for Konatsu’s Aries Comet. A scramble led to Mizuki taking out Watanabe with the Whirling Candy and then joining Takami in double teaming Konatsu until the Cutie Special ended the match.

Kira Summer spent the last month back in her home country of Australia and now has to catch up with her contemporaries in her first match back in TJPW. HIMAWARI greeted her with Hair Whips while Toga welcomed her back with Body Slams. Chika Nanase tried to even the playing field but ultimately failed. Her effort in avoiding the Absolute Zero was rewarded with an Elbow Smash from Toga that knocked her down. Toga then submitted her with the Muffler Hold that almost bent her over backwards.

For her debut in TJPW, Sumire Natsu told Yuki Kamifuku that she came here wanting to be treated like a serious wrestler. She then immediately contradicted herself by avoiding the opening lock up to gyrate for the fans instead. Kamifuku later said she wouldn’t allow the Bronco Buster to be used in TJPW so she and Natsu got into a Big Boot battle over it. Natsu eventually got to do the move on Kamifuku with Mifu Ashida cheering her on. Ober Eats were finally able to get rid of her when Wakana Uehara lifted Kamifuku up to do an Elevated Big Boot to knock Natsu out of the ring. Kamifuku then went on to pin Ashida with the Famouser. Kamifuku said backstage that as part of her retirement road she asked TJPW to bring in Natsu because she is a character unlike anyone else in the company. In the ring she is flamboyant, intense and over the top but away from that she is kind, considerate and has a strong sense of professionalism. She also thinks Uehara and Ashida could learn a lot about the various possibilities of pro wrestling just from experiencing 0.2% of Natsu. Wrestling in TJPW for the first time made Natsu so nervous, she forgot to bring her makeup bag which she admits is very unlike her. She came here with the goal of becoming a legend in one appearance rather than auditioning for a regular spot but now she is convinced she can make it here. She wants TJPW management to consider booking her more often even if it’s just as a favour to Kamiyu.

Both teams in Match #3 came up with a special rule to celebrate the end of summer. In order for a pinfall to be counted, the wrestlers would have to do a Bon Odori dance beforehand. Music played and everyone danced until Hyper Misao’s team attacked Pom Harajuku’s team from behind. Raku led her partners in the Oyasumi Express while the music played. Mahiro Kiryu used her Apology Knee Drop to try and do the dance. Yuki Aino put Shino Suzuki in the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire so Suzuki called for the music in order to try and dance her way out of the move. It actually worked and she almost pinned Aino with the Rolling Back Cradle afterward. Unfortunately Aino kicked out of it and quickly put Suzuki back in the Full Nelson to make her give up.

Two wrestlers who were both dealing with the disappointment of first round exits were put in the ring against each other in the undercard. The experience of Sakura Hattori won out against Haru Kazashiro in the end. After Kazashiro got a nearfall with a Low Cross Body, she wanted to use the Fisherman Suplex next. Instead, Hattori spun her way free and used a Leg Sweep to trip Kazashiro down. She then tangled her up in the Kitcho Kagome to pin her for the three count.

It’s been eight months since Shion Kanzaki debuted in TJPW and now that there is a rookie who debuted after her, the time has come for Kanzaki to earn her first win! She defeated Momo Sato to kick off the show, grabbing Sato in a Standing Armbar before slamming her down to the mat and wrenching in further for the submission. Sato did put up a fight by doing the Kneel Kick and a Crab Hold before that though. She said she trains with Sato a lot and knows how talented she is so she wasn’t sure she could beat her today. She wants to continue winning matches so she can go into her upcoming homecoming show with her head held high.

The show opening call that usually takes place with The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) included a special guest this time. A 4th grade elementary student named Yuzuki was chosen to join in with the group and tell everyone the show was starting. She said her favorite wrestlers are Kamifuku, Uehara and Raku.

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

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

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 30/07/2026
Shinjuku FACE

3. Rika Tatsumi, Arisu Endo, Wakana Uehara & Uta Takami defeated Hyper Misao, Raku, HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida when Tatsumi pinned Ashida with the Sliding Hip (10:36).
4. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Toga defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the Absolute Zero (7:57).
5. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Suzume defeated Pom Harajuku with the Ring A Bell (9:23).
6. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Yuki Aino defeated Miu Watanabe with the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire Z (9:23).
7. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Shoko Nakajima defeated Yuki Arai with a Scorpion Death Lock Counter (15:32).

The second round of the Tokyo Princess Cup ends with its two of its biggest favorites both eliminated! The reigning Princess Of Princess Champion is gone after Yuki Arai suffered a close defeat against Shoko Nakajima. Arai pulled out something big for the match, using a Twisting Superplex off the top rope. She also blocked Nakajima from doing the Locomotion Northern Lights Suplex before switching to Big Boots to try and keep her opponent down. Nakajima took the attacks and turned things around with a Frankensteiner followed by the 619. She looked to have made a grave mistake when she went for the Diving Senton and Arai rolled out of the way. Arai then went to apply the Scorpion Death Lock but Nakajima grabbed hold of her and cradled her into a pinfall for the three count. After the match Nakajima talked about recently turning 35 years old and it’s getting more difficult for her to win as both she and Tokyo Joshi Pro grow older. But fighting Arai today reminds her of how fun TJPW is. Right now she just wants to go home and sleep but tomorrow TJPW has an entire weekend of matches happening at the Tokyo Idol Festival outside in the blazing sun. Meanwhile Arai is disappointed she won’t make the final four of the tournament like she’s often done in the past. It’s also her first singles loss of the year. She thinks she hasn’t defended the Princess Title enough so she will train like crazy while waiting for the eventual Princess Cup winner to challenge her.

Last year’s Princess Cup winner Miu Watanabe is out too! Yuki Aino is the one who can claim to have beaten the unstoppable monster princess by adapting her finishing move into an improved version. She got Watanabe in the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire but Watanabe fought her hardest to try and break out of it. Aino was able to keep her opponent in the hold and drag her down to the mat where she tangled her up even more until Watanabe gave up. Aino calls this version of the move the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire Z because it is the ultimate form of her finisher so the letter Z was the only suitable thing she could add to the end of it. Watanabe said she was confident going into the match because she has beaten Aino more often than she’s lost to her. She is sad over losing but wants everyone to know this cannot be the end of the monster princess and she will always be one forever!

Pom Harajuku was going to hunt for bees today and tried to fight off Suzume with a butterfly net and a small insect cage. When she quickly realised those tools weren’t going to work she ran off and returned in a full beekeeping outfit! She chased Suzume around ringside with a large net and eventually caught her. She then dragged Suzume over to the timekeeper’s table where she taped her hands to the stage in an attempt to have her counted out. Suzume was able to free herself and get back in the ring with little trouble. In the meantime Harajuku took off the beekeeper suit and forced Uta Takami to wear it as a decoy. Suzume fell for the trick and tried to grab Takami, thinking it was Harajuku. The School Boy from the actual Harajuku afterwards only got a two count and Suzume quickly took control back of the match. Harajuku put the suit back on one more time and took a big swing with the net but Suzume dodged it, pulled the outfit over Harajuku’s face to blind her and then hit the Ring A Bell to win the match. Suzume will face Shoko Nakajima in the Quarter Finals. She remembers losing to Nakajima in the 1st Round a few years ago (2023) and said it was a match where she felt she really evolved at the time. She wants to grow even bigger so she won’t lose to the Big Kaiju. Harajuku explained she only wanted to study Suzume for her summer vacation project and she would have killed two birds with one stone if she won the match as well. It was an upgraded tactic of something she used against Suzume before but she didn’t think Suzume would have been upgraded as well. So the next time they fight Harajuku says she’ll bring a flamethrower to beat Suzume!

Waiting for Yuki Aino in the Quarter Finals is Toga. She took Mahiro Kiryu’s best shot and has now reached the furthest she has ever gotten in the tournament. Kiryu’s blew her big chance when she tried to do the Apology Knee Drop from the second rope Vader Bomb style. Toga got out of the way and then countered the Spinebuster into the Absolute Zero for the win. Toga is happy to have surpassed one of her seniors but expects Aino to be a tougher opponent. She doesn’t like the heat while Aino is all about being passionate like fire. Maybe Toga will need to absorb that passion in order to advance further. Kiryu said her theme for the tournament was “Now’s The Time!” Except she never seized the moment and she only has herself to blame.

Hyper Misao based her strategy for today’s 8-Woman Tag Match on her Quarter Final opponent Rika Tatsumi. She was once told by someone she respects that the most important thing for pro wrestlers is 90% the ring entrance and 10% the match itself. So Misao’s team would attack and dispose of Tatsumi’s tag partners when they enter the ring one by one, leaving Tatsumi in a 4 Vs 1 disadvantage. Tatsumi’s team were ambushed and trapped underneath the ring apron while Misao’s team went wild on Tatsumi. She was eventually able to find her team and free them so the match could continue on as a fair fight. Tatsumi won the match and afterward tried to pin Raku for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title as they were all leaving ringside. Raku kicked out and escaped with the belt. Raku later told reporters she is looking forward to the Tokyo Idol Festival this weekend because she wants to take a nap using the title as a pillow underneath the blue sky.

Today is Shino Suzuki’s first match back since taking a two month break for recovery reasons. Although she lost her match, everyone else involved were all happy to have her back.

A new match was made for the 23rd August Korakuen Hall show. Ober Eats will be getting back together so they can face the team of Mifu Ashida & Sumire Natsu!

Shino Taking Time Off, GanPro Going All In On MMA Tag Teams, Other Injury News

May 18, 2026

I am going travelling this week so there may be some delays in posting results and other news. Things will be back to normal service before the King Of DDT finals happen at the end of the month.

DDT “D GENERATIONS 9”, 20/05/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Ali Najima Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Hideki Okatani & Ilusion Vs Yuya Koroku & Yuki Ishida
3. Special Single Match: Kazuma Sumi Vs Yuni
4. Special Single Match: Munetatsu Nakamura Vs Rukiya
5. Takeshi Masada Produce Match – No Throwing Moves Match: Takeshi Masada Vs To-y

With the weekend now passed, Masami Inahata has not been medically cleared to return from his back injury. He will now miss this week’s D GENERATIONS show. Rukiya’s new opponent is Munetatsu Nakamura from Ganbare☆Pro.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ IN SHINJUKU”, 22/05/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Pom Harajuku Vs Mifu Ashida
2. Raku Vs Kira Summer
3. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs Arisu Endo & Shion Kanzaki
4. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao Vs HIMAWARI & Ren Konatsu
5. Miyu Yamashita & Sakura Hattori Vs Toga & Chika Nanase
6. Yuki Arai, Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Suzume Vs Yuki Kamifuku, Mizuki, Uta Takami & Mahiro Kiryu

Shino Suzuki will be taking a leave of absence from both her pro wrestling and idol careers to recover from health issues. Her doctor diagnosed that she needed treatment and rest from her activities until they and Tokyo Joshi Pro can determine when she will be cleared to return.

The 3 Way Match that Suzuki was booked for later this week will now be just a singles match between Pom Harajuku and Mifu Ashida.

DDT “KING OF DDT 2026 FINAL!!”, 31/05/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. King Of DDT – Semi Final: Minoru Suzuki Vs Shinya Aoki
2. King Of DDT – Semi Final: MAO Vs Danshoku Dieno
3. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) Vs Shunma Katsumaa, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi
4. King Of DDT – Final: X Vs X

The majority of D GENERATIONS are filling up the next KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match. Yuni summoned up the courage to challenge paleyouth for the titles because NωA Jr. only held the belts for a very short amount of time last year and didn’t get to do anything with them before losing in their first defence. Kazuma Sumi also sees this as a chance to take down three rivals from his generation in one go. I have an inkling that could backfire and we end up with somebody from paleyouth as the next Japanese challenger for the DDT Universal Title.

GANBARE☆PRO “PHENOMENA 2026”, 31/05/2026
Kanagawa Yokohama Industrial Trade Hall

1. Keisuke Ishii Vs Sentaro Motoshima

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.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “BACK TO THE HIVE ~SUZUME HOMECOMING SHOW~” Results

May 6, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “BACK TO THE HIVE ~SUZUME HOMECOMING SHOW~”, 06/05/2026
Ibaraki Tsukuba International Congress Center Multipurpose Hall
310 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Yuki Aino defeated Shion Kanzaki with the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire (7:21).
2. 3 Way Match: Hyper Misao defeated Raku and HIMAWARI when Misao pinned HIMAWARI with La Magistral Cradle (7:57).
3. Miyu Yamashita & Sakura Hattori defeated Wakana Uehara & Kira Summer when Hattori pinned Summer with the Rakkateicho (9:36).
4. Shoko Nakajima defeated Pom Harajuku with the Uchunito no Bizan (9:57).
5. Mizuki & Uta Takami defeated Haru Kazashiro & Chika Nanase when Takami submitted Nanase with the Koala Clutch (8:24).
6. Yuki Kamifuku & Toga defeated Yuki Arai & Shino Suzuki when Kamifuku pinned Suzuki with the Famouser (9:50).
7. Suzume, Arisu Endo & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Ren Konatsu when Suzume pinned Konatsu with the Ring A Bell (15:58).

Tsukuba has always been a place that is special to Suzume because she is from the Ibaraki prefecture. She would have explained to everyone how it became even more special after she came back here as the International Princess Champion but her homecoming speech after the main event was interrupted. Mahiro Kiryu suddenly approached her from behind and rolled her up with a School Boy expecting to hear a pin count. It turns out she wants to win the IP Title but forgot it is not contested under 24/7 rules like the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Kiryu quickly apologised and then asked Suzume for a title shot. Suzume agreed to it when she figured out Kiryu was serious about wanting the match. They will have a serious match for the title at Korakuen Hall on 7th June.

In their first prelim match for the Princess Of Princess Title bout next month, Yuki Kamifuku didn’t think much of it at first but got more invested as the match went on. She noticed that Yuki Arai looks more imposing now as champion than she ever did before. Toga said Kamifuku is more lively when she’s being herself than she is when she tries to get fired up for a title match. Arai heard about Kamifuku’s opinion that fighting for the championship is going to be her anti-aging technique. Arai looked into it because she will be turning 28 tomorrow and wants to age gracefully. She might go get a Cosme Decorte beauty cream but since it’s her birthday tomorrow, Shino Suzuki promised to get her some as a gift instead. But it’s going to be the cheapest item from the product line.

Pom Harajuku left her match with Shoko Nakajima midway through to go get her secret weapon. She returned wearing a costume of an alien abducting a human! She wrestled in it for a while before deciding to take it off and forcing it onto Nakajima so she would wear it instead. The plan backfired when Nakajima used the loose legs of the costume to hit Harajuku with a 619. Nakajima then pinned her with an alien assisted German Suplex to win.

According to Hyper Misao, the Gotham City of Northern Kanto is located right here in Ibaraki! She tried to recruit either Raku or HIMAWARI to help her bring glory to her hometown but they both decided to fight her 2-on-1 instead. That alliance was short lived and Misao tricked her way into winning the 3 Way Match.

Something Shion Kanzaki has been doing in her matches lately is climb onto her opponent on the corner and then shout out to the crowd for cheers like a singer at a concert. When she did the spot to Yuki Aino here, Aino scolded her for starting the call by herself.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND ’26” Results

May 4, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND ’26”, 04/05/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

7. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) defeated Haru Kazashiro with the Ring A Bell (12:55).
*V2 for Suzume.
8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi defeated Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee (c) when Watanabe pinned Lee after the Daydream Eternity (12:53).
*The IInspiration fails in V2. Daydream becomes the 21st Princess Tag Team Champions!
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) defeated Arisu Endo with the Finally (20:38).
*V2 for Yuki Arai.

It is the 5th Anniversary of Yuki Arai’s pro wrestling debut and she celebrates it by standing on top of the Tokyo Joshi Pro mountain. Her second Princess Of Princess Title defence was completed today with a victory over Arisu Endo, who was one of her first opponents in her debut match five years ago. Endo just couldn’t pull off the Ju no Okite to put Arai away with the move being either blocked or escaped from. After the latter happened, Arai got Endo with the Finally to the back of the head. She then hit the Rookie Award followed by another Finally to put Endo away. After the match Arai said Endo always calls her the main character of TJPW behind the scenes. Arai doesn’t like to say that but in her world, Endo is the main character too along with everyone else in TJPW. Backstage Endo said the match shows how much both of them have grown over five years because they got to fight for the Princess Title in the main event of Korakuen Hall today.

Back in the ring Arai talked about having her debut match five years ago. It was at an empty Korakuen Hall because of the covid pandemic but today she feels like she is in the best condition possible by defending the Princess Title in front of a big crowd. Yuki Kamifuku then entered the ring and told Arai she looks tired. When Kamifuku lost the Princess Tag Team Titles she wondered why she works so hard as a wrestler. She figured out it’s because it makes her feel beautiful! She isn’t really that invested in championships and hates fighting in singles matches but working so hard towards a goal feels like the perfect anti-aging technique for her. So for the first time ever Kamifuku wants to challenge for the Princess Title! Arai accepted and asked for the match to happen in Korakuen on 7th June. Kamifuku then asked to take a picture together with her while they’re both looking their youngest. Kamifuku admitted backstage she considered doing the title challenge two days ago when she looked in the mirror and noticed her skin was beginning to sag a bit. She also believes that Arai is already starting to rest on her laurels too much.

Daydream are now two-time Princess Tag Champions after they defeated The IInspiration, bringing the belts back home to TJPW. In the leadup to the match they made dolls of The IInspiration, claiming they were just doing it to be cute despite the dolls looking anything but. Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee were given the dolls as gifts before the match began but they threw them away and attacked the challengers. Late in the match Miu Watanabe saved Rika Tatsumi from taking the IIdolizer then she dropped Tatsumi onto both of them with a Human Bomb double team move. Lee and Watanabe then fought in the corner where Tatsumi used them as a stepping stone to hit McKay with the Flying Hip Attack. With McKay out of the way, Lee was given the Daydream Eternity and was pinned by Watanabe for the title change. The IInspiration later blamed the loss on TJPW being a dangerous workplace. They complained about having to wrestle after taking an 18 hour flight, getting paper streamers thrown at their heads, being hit in the face by Tatsumi’s butt, being swung around in circles by Watanabe and on top of it all feeling dehydrated the entire time. They wouldn’t mind coming back to TJPW but only if they have plenty of drinking water ready, everyone stops throwing paper streamers at them and they get to challenge for the tag titles again.

Watanabe said it feels like five million years since the last time they were Princess Tag Champions and Tatsumi wondered if everyone even remembers when they held the old white belts? Daydream felt the worldwide experience of The IInspiration while fighting them and they hope they will come back to Japan. Tatsumi now wants Daydream to go after the most defences record. Their first challengers then made themselves known when Mizuki & Uta Takami walked out. The two of them have continued teaming together since reaching the final of this year’s Max Heart Tournament. Takami has grown to love wrestling even more because of it so she wants to get a title shot with Mizuki. Tatsumi scolded Takami because she never gave her permission to team with Mizuki but she is willing to defend the titles against the two of them if it means the team will end after Daydream wins. However Mizuki said she is living in the present and wants to team with Takami to win the belts, even if it means stealing Tatsumi’s heart in the process. The title match will happen on 7th June.

Now is not the time yet for Haru Kazashiro to win championships. Suzume took Kazashiro’s best shot and was still standing. She kicked out of the Fisherman Suplex and escaped from the Straight Armbar to keep Kazashiro flustered. Kazashiro tried going for the Fisherman Suplex again but Suzume countered it into a Noshigami and followed up with a top rope Facecrusher. She then hit the Ring A Bell to remain as the International Princess Champion. She said she is happy to see Kazashiro reach the point to where they can fight each other in title matches now. Suzume is also very excited she will be going to her homecoming show in two days time as the IP Champion. Kazashiro called the match fun even though she feels like she could have done better. She gets frustrated when she isn’t able to show everyone what she learns in training and doesn’t get to fully enjoy her matches because of it. But today’s match confirmed to her who she is and it was the most fun she’s ever had because of it. She believes this confidence she gained will only make her stronger.

Something was on Hyper Misao’s mind when Kyoraku Kyomei faced K!SS// in a rematch from the Max Heart Tournament. Misao wanted to start the match off with Sakura Hattori straight away because she really wanted to fight the newcomer. However it seemed like she couldn’t tell that Hattori is the former Kaya Toribami who pinned her back in that tournament. Hattori’s ninja techniques were quickly foiled by Misao’s Hero Spray and Miyu Yamashita got blinded with it too. The match was decided under more skillful means when Hattori went back and forth with Shoko Nakajima. After a lot of dodged moves, Nakajima got the better of Hattori by countering the Kitcho Kagome cradle into a counter pin that held the ninja’s shoulders down for the three count. It wasn’t until Kyoraku Kyomei went back to the locker room that they realised Hattori used to be Toribami! Now they’re wondering how a bird suddenly turned into a ninja while they weren’t paying attention. Meanwhile Yamashita noted this was the first time K!SS// were teaming up since Hattori’s transformation. They’re going to continue teaming together and aim for a championship but Yamashita thinks they may need to rename the tag team to something more fitting for Hattori’s ninja aesthetic.

Toga collided with Ryo Mizunami from the get go with clashing Shoulder Blocks, Chops and Elbow Strikes. Mizunami blocked the Absolute Zero but still gave Toga encouragement to fight her harder. Toga was staggered after taking a Headbutt and some Lariats though. Once she was taken down with the Spear it was all over for her. Mizunami remembers her previous singles match with Toga around two and a half years ago. She’s happy to see Toga didn’t waste her time since them but still thinks Toga needs to forge her own path to get stronger. While Toga believes she has gotten stronger, she also thinks she has not closed the gap between her and Mizunami. She promised not to give up until she can definitely beat Mizunami!

The illusion that’s been crafted for Kakeru Sekiguchi & Mahiro Kiryu is at risk of falling apart. Kamifuku outright told them before their match that the two do not look alike! However after doing the opening exchange with Sekiguchi, Kamifuku lost track of who was who and couldn’t tell them apart any more. An attempt at twin magic was also played on Aja Kong but she solved the puzzle by slapping the both of them one after the other. She gave Sekiguchi the Back Drop but Kamifuku again confused her opponent for Kiryu and tried to pin her when she wasn’t the legal woman. The real Kiryu tried to capitalize but Kamifuku fought back and correctly pinned her with the Famouser. She can’t explain how she confused Sekiguchi for Kiryu other than they started looking more alike to her as the match progressed. Kamifuku will next meet Kong on opposing teams for Kong’s 40th Anniversary show. Kong said the “fake Mahiro” will be there too. She would have also booked the real one if she had the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title but without it, Kong has zero interest in Mahiro Kiryu because she’s useless.

Golden Week is a very busy time in Japan which was proven when Pom Harajuku led a train attack in her match and called it “Golden Week Traffic Jam”. She also used her loud screaming stop Mei Suruga from doing a rope walk move on Yuki Aino. Suruga then didn’t know what to do when Raku laid down in the ring and started to sulk instead of nap. She got better when Suruga lied down next to her and patted her on the head in apology. The three gremlin sisters then went crazy on Love Triangle until Harajuku took off her shoes and tried to fight off Mizuki with them. Mizuki took the shoes off her and then accidentally threw them into the audience while fighting with Aino. Harajuku got a replacement pair from Raku but Mizuki ended up throwing those away too. She then beat Takami with the Diving Foot Stomp after getting some help with Takami. Suruga told Mizuki afterwards that today was the first time they’ve teamed up in eight years! The two of them told Takami she needs to become as bold as they are.

YuuRI was back in TJPW and started off her match facing against Chika Nanase. When it was Shino Suzuki’s turn to get involved, she took Wakana Uehara sightseeing around the ring. Kira Summer breaking up Nanase’s pin on Uehara caused all six wrestlers to get in and start fighting. Suzuki got rid of Summer with the Belly-To-Belly Suplex. She & HIMAWARI then got YuuRI with a Spear/Neckbreaker combo. Nanase tried to finish off Uehara by herself but Uehara turned things around and won with the Sushi Tornado.

In the opening match the two rookies Ren Konatsu and Shion Kanzaki faced each other once again. Konatsu came out on top this time by using a new submission move to win. She put Kanzaki in the Rings Of Saturn to win and it was later named the Shoulder Bites (maybe because the move was also once called the Batista Bite?).

When the show began Rise Shirai introduced everyone to Momo Sato, confirming that the idol has officially become a trainee for TJPW like she said she would back in March. Sato is the younger sister of DDT wrestler Daichi Sato and has spent time in the wrestling ring before doing stuff for HEAT-UP. Since then she became an idol with Harajuku Gakuen and was scouted by Sanshiro Takagi to give TJPW a go. Sato greeted the fans and told them she will do her best to make her debut. On a sidenote, this news comes shortly after a now former trainee was seen working ringside duties at a Marigold show over the weekend. Anri was the trainee who was meant to debut alongside Shion Kanzaki back in January but it was called off when she wasn’t considered to be in the right condition to debut yet. I hadn’t heard anything about her ever since that announcement came out. Then very recently there was a Rossy Ogawa interview where he revealed Marigold will soon have a new rookie who was originally supposed to debut somewhere else. A few Japanese fans on Twitter were quick to recognise Anri at ringside at Marigold and now things are starting to clear up a little bit. I don’t see any harm or foul over it. Every wrestling company has trainees who come, go and then debut somewhere else for whatever reason. TJPW is no exception and have been accused of committing similar actions in the past. Also while we’re here is the other trainee Yuuka still around? I never notice what trainees are working ringside duties until social media points it out.

The 7th June show will have MIRAI returning to wrestle and also Sumire Uesaka appearing as a guest commentator. As far as I know Uesaka is still the Iron Man Champion after winning it back at “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”.

TJPW is collaborating with the Tokyo Idol Festival to hold matches during the TIF ASIA Tour being held in Odaiba this summer. The matches will be held on 31sy July, 1st August and 3rd August.
