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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tokyo Princess Cup 2026 Brackets

July 9, 2026

Today in Abema Towers the draw for this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup took place with Rise Shirai looking over the proceedings. Twenty of the twenty four competitors were in attendance to choose a number out of random envelopes and match up together to reveal the full playoff bracket. Those who were missing from the event were Pom Harajuku, Wakana Uehara, Mifu Ashida and the yet to debut Momo Sato. Shirai picked their envelopes and revealed their spots first before any of the wrestlers in attendance got to choose their own.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 20/07/2026
Shizuoka Act City Hamamatsu

1. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1A: Uta Takami Vs Miyu Yamashita
2. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1B: Raku Vs Mizuki
3. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1C: Arisu Endo Vs Sakura Hattori
4. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1D: Wakana Uehara Vs Mifu Ashida
5. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1E: Toga Vs Momo Sato
6. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1F: Miu Watanabe Vs Ren Konatsu
7. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1G: Suzume Vs Shion Kanzaki
8. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1H: Haru Kazashiro Vs Yuki Arai

The entire 1st Round will be held in Shizuoka to kick off the tournament. Uta Takami drew Miyu Yamashita so she feels terrified while also thinking she’s hit the jackpot. Yamashita is an opponent Takami really wants to challenge but at her current state she believes a match between them could only be put together by a lottery. It will be dangerous but Takami does not want to set limits for herself. Yamashita admits she is not very good when fighting against Takami’s fighting style so she’s going to be careful when she tries to crush her.

If you would like to know the combined brain power of Raku and Mizuki, the two accidentally headbutted each other from bowing after their match was revealed. Raku also said that Mizuki sleeps with her eyes open and wants to know if all rabbits do that? She’ll be careful against her either way. Mizuki hasn’t been happy with her tournament results lately and came to the conclusion it is because she is too much of an angel. This year she would like to act like a bit of a devil and wake Raku up!

Last year’s finalist Arisu Endo is now looking to become No. 1! She still remembers the time she first fought Sakura Hattori back when the ninja was known as Kaya Toribami. Endo lost that match and it also happened to be Toribami’s first ever singles victory. Endo has promised to get revenge for that loss by beating Hattori in the first round! Hattori said it does not matter who her opponent is because she is superior against anybody. She has her own defeats against Endo that she wants to avenge, the most recent being from this year’s Max Heart Tournament.

Neither Wakana Uehara or Mifu Ashida were at the press conference so they weren’t able to give their thoughts about facing each other in Round 1. This will be Ashida’s first proper go at the Princess Cup because last year she failed to get out of the Preliminary League qualifiers. Uehara did get past the league and reached the Quarter Final before getting eliminated. Given the changes for this year she doesn’t need to win as many matches this time around to reach the same stage.

The way the brackets have been put together can be split apart in A, B, C & D Blocks. Toga thinks the C Block that she belongs too is full of power fighters so she isn’t exactly confident of her chances of advancing past everyone else. She doesn’t know what to expect of her opponent Momo Sato either because it will be Sato’s next first match after her debut takes place.

Miu Watanabe is looking to make it two in a row as she gears up to defend her crown. Last year’s winner wants to shine like a princess for the rest of the summer again. Ren Konatsu is looking forward to facing her in Round 1. There are five people in particular she wants to wrestle and Watanabe is one of them. It’s also taking place in her hometown of Hamamatsu so the stage is set for her to become the next princess of the summer by beating the current one!

It’s going to be a first time ever singles match between Suzume and Shion Kanzaki. Suzume warns her opponent that hornets are at their most aggressive in the summertime. Suzume doesn’t have much Princess Cup success to brag about which only makes her more motivated to burst through the early rounds and show everyone the true power of the hornet. Kanzaki is nervous about her tournament debut but doesn’t want fans to think she will bow out right away in the opening round. She’ll do her best to beat Suzume and advance.

The bottom right of the bracket corner is the block to watch out for in Round 1. Haru Kazashiro meets Yuki Arai and for her third tournament appearance her confidence is very high compared to the previous two years. She’s been watching Kamen Rider OOO recently and has been inspired by the hero Eiji because he once said if something is within reach and he never reached out to grab it then he would regret it. Kazashiro is following those words so she can live a summer without regrets. Arai loves that sparkly behaviour from her which is why she wants to take a lethal dose of that youthful energy for herself so she can sparkle even more too.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 25/07/2026
Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall

1. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2A: Winner Of Match 1A Vs Rika Tatsumi
2. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2B: Winner Of Match 1B Vs Hyper Misao
3. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2C: Winner Of Match 1C Vs Chika Nanase
4. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2D: Winner Of Match 1D Vs HIMAWARI

In recent years Rika Tatsumi has grown to like the summer after always hating it beforehand. So this year she has put it upon herself to win the Princess Cup and become the “Summer Girl” Rika Tatsumi. She’s worried that Yamashita might ruin those plans though. Last year Yamashita let everyone know that she would love to face Tatsumi in the tournament because they haven’t had a singles match together since 2021. It never happened because Tatsumi got knocked out in the first round. Tatsumi doesn’t like that the opportunity for the match to happen has reappeared again so she is rooting for Takami to beat Yamashita instead.

No matter who she faces in Round 2, Hyper Misao thinks she is going into a hellish situation because Raku and Mizuki are both real troublemakers. But Misao is a superhero and if she can make it through a hellish summer like this then she can become a really, really, really strong hero. In fact if it was up to her she would have wanted to start in Round 1 so she can win five matches on the way to winning the Princess Cup instead of four. Mizuki then called out Misao for lying.

For a tournament named after Tokyo it sure is starting to be held in Osaka more often. Chika Nanase is happy with that because she gets to start her tournament in her hometown. That surge of energy is going to get her ready for either Endo or Hattori.

HIMAWARI didn’t have Uehara or Ashida around to bounce off of so she tried to think of things they would say if they were here. She thinks Uehara would talk about devouring the competition while Ashida would be cheering and shouting “Woohoo!” HIMAWARI says when you think of summer you will think of her so she is going to bloom the brightest and win the tournament.

Shinjuku FACE

1. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2E: Winner Of Match 1E Vs Mahiro Kiryu
2. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2F: Winner Of Match 1F Vs Yuki Aino
3. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2G: Winner Of Match 1G Vs Pom Harajuku
4. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2H: Winner Of Match 1H Vs Shoko Nakajima

How can you be born in July but have a terrible lack of success during the summertime? That’s the plight Mahiro Kiryu faces every time she enters the Princess Cup. She’s supposed to be a summer girl but she’s never gotten to be one. If there is ever a time for her to solve this problem it is now! Maybe the sun will finally start shining on her when she steps into the ring to face either Toga or Sato in Round 2.

Yuki Aino is still feeling the pain of getting eliminated in the first round last year so she is hesitant about saying she will go all out from the start again. She also remembers her failure to beat Watanabe for the Princess Of Princess Title last year so she doesn’t want to claim she can definitely beat her either should she be her opponent in Round 2. Even stating that she can beat Konatsu is not something Aino is comfortable with saying at the moment. Instead the message she wants to give today is she will knock everyone out so she can reach the dream stage that is the Princess Cup final again.

Pom Harajuku wasn’t there so there’s nothing from her about potentially facing Suzume or Shion Kanzaki in Round 2. She is back in the Princess Cup after failing to qualify last year. Her record here is pretty abysmal to be honest with only one previous win in the contest. You can’t even include a Preliminary League win from last year because that one was by forfeit.

As the one remaining wrestler to have competed in every single Princess Cup to date, Shoko Nakajima is spoiled for choice when it comes to her Round 2 opponent. She gets either the current Princess Champion at the time of this draw happening or a first time singles match with Kazashiro. All three of them would like to wrestle each other in the tournament so Nakajima told Arai and Kazashiro to figure out a way where they can both win so they can all do a 3 Way Match together in Round 2!

1. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Winner Of Match 2A Vs Winner Of Match 2B

3. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Winner Of Match 2E Vs Winner Of Match 2F
4. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Winner Of Match 2G Vs Winner Of Match 2H

I’m writing this on the same afternoon the Quarter Finals of the World Cup are beginning. Arai is France but is Yamashita Argentina? Can Tatsumi be like England and bring it home? Is Suzume Norway and therefore the next lineal holder of Hatsune Miku? Does that make Nakajima Spain somehow? Is Morocco better suited to Endo, Kazashiro or Takami? Will Misao save an entire sport like Belgium did? No matter what, Kiryu has the same chances as Switzerland.

The Princess Cup is always promoted by Tokyo Joshi Pro as their equivalent to the annual Summer Koshien high school baseball tournament. So it is only fitting that this year’s Princess Cup final takes place in the same weekend as the Koshien final.


Tokyo Princess Cup 2026

July 1, 2026

A roster of 24 participants will be competing in the 13th annual Tokyo Princess Cup this summer and unlike last year there is no qualifying round needed for the junior members of the roster to earn their spot. Instead an extra round has been tacked onto the bracket so it is possible that the eventual winner of the tournament would have needed to win five matches rather than four depending on where their starting point is. The bracket will be randomly determined by a lottery to be held at a future date.

Yuki Arai (6th Appearance)
Miu Watanabe (8th Appearance, 2025 Winner)
Rika Tatsumi (11th Appearance)

DDT “BATTLE OF HAMAMATSU” Results

August 2, 2025

DDT “BATTLE OF HAMAMATSU”, 02/08/2025
Shizuoka Act City Hamamatsu
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Hideki Okatani defeated Kazuma Sumi with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (7:04).
2. 3 Way Body Slam Match: Danshoku Dieno defeated Akito and Yuya Koroku when Dieno Body Slammed Koroku (7:32).
3. Special Tag Match: Yuki Iino & Antonio Honda defeated Hideki “Shrek” Sekine & Kazuki Hirata when Honda pinned Hirata after The Apex Elbow from Iino (10:53).
4. HARASHIMA, Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada defeated Daisuke Sasaki, Ilusion & MJ Paul when HARASHIMA pinned Paul with the Somato (12:01).
5. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ HIMIHIRO) defeated Jun Akiyama & Daichi Sato when KANON pinned Sato with the LONELY DEZIRES (12:15).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Shinya Aoki defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida when To-y pinned Ishida with the Kojima Impact (22:41).

Today’s main event might serve as a preview for “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025 – DAY 2” because Kazusada Higuchi and Yuki Ueno were both in it. However Ueno also had to worry about Shinya Aoki because for some reason Aoki broke up a pinfall when Ueno covered Yukio Naya. He later explained it was because he thought Naya was making funny faces at him during that moment. Back in the match Higuchi held Ueno in the Candian Backbreaker and then grabbed To-y in the Claw Hold. Yuki Ishida then tried to get the win at To-y’s expense but instead To-y pinned him with the Kojima Impact. Backstage Higuchi said he hadn’t considered today to be a prelim match with Ueno because he is focused on his KO-D Openweight Title defence with Jun Akiyama first. All Higuchi got from today’s match is he is feeling like he is in good shape.

Since Hideki Sekine is from Hamamatsu and was wrestling in front of friends he didn’t want to do anything embarrassing during his match. That includes dancing so he took the Hirata GO! glasses away from Kazuki Hirata. However when Antonio Honda pulled out Gongitsune, Sekine changed his mind and wore the glasses to fight back while dancing. While this was happening, Yuki Iino beat up Hirata and gave him The Apex Elbow. Honda was able to pin Hirata while Sekine was busy dancing by himself.

There were two tributes for the late Hulk Hogan on this show. Hisaya Imabayashi decided to turn the 3 Way Match into a Body Slam Challenge where the first wrestler to successfully do the move would win. Also at the start of the show Honda entered the ring in full Hogan cosplay and performed his rendition of Hulk Hogan Gymnastics.

Round 1 of this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup is done and dusted, leaving us with 8 wrestlers left in the tournament. Today’s half of the bracket was headlined with the latest chapter in the series between Shoko Nakajima and Rika Tatsumi. From the moment the bell rang Tatsumi was on the attack and kept increasing the pressure from there. Whenever Nakajima started to get some momentum, Tatsumi would cut her off with Hip Attacks, Dragon Screws and Backbreakers. Nakajima finally found her breakthrough by giving her opponent an Avalanche Hurricanrana. Tatsumi tried using the Dragon Sleeper to slow her back down but eventually Nakajima caught her with the 619, setting up the Double Arm DDT and Diving Senton for the victory. After the match Nakajima mentioned Hamamatsu is said to be the city Godzilla crushed in the original movie and today it is where she crushed Tatsumi! This year she is more determined as ever because she is a double champion and cannot lose to anyone. That includes her 2nd Round opponent Mizuki. If anyone is going to become the hero of the summer Nakajima thinks it will be her instead of Mizuki! Backstage Tatsumi said she would have been in some kind of hell whether she won or lost so she would have preferred to win. She thinks today is the strongest that Nakajima has ever been. Nakajima brought up the previous times Tatsumi beat her so today feels like she has paid back a debt. She also proved a big kaiju can step over a dragon!

Yuki Arai was knocked down to the bottom of the mountain when she failed to win the Princess Of Princess Title at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25”. Today was the beginning of her climbing back up again when she beat a previous Princess Cup finalist Yuki Kamifuku. Arai was almost pinned with an Inverted Famouser but she avoided the Diving version of Kamifuku’s finisher. She then knocked her back with a Short Range Rookie Award and got the pin with the Finally. After the match Arai found Wakana Uehara standing in the distance watching and pointed out to her. The two of them will meet each other next in Round 2. Even though Arai beat Kamifuku she is feeling some regret over the result. Kamifuku still fights the same way she did in their previous matches but she is still a very tough challenge for Arai to beat. It reminds Arai she still has a long way to go. She’s expecting Uehara to be just as dangerous because she had a fierce look in her eyes. Kamifuku told reporters she really hates tournaments because the stress isn’t good for her heart. At least she can now go find other exciting things to do for the rest of the summer.

In the lead up to today’s show Hyper Misao revealed her motivation for entering this year’s Princess Cup. She wants to one day become the Tokyo Joshi Pro GM and winning the tournament will give her the immense power needed to achieve that goal! Unfortunately her plan suffered a major setback from the get go when Arisu Endo eliminated her from the first round. She tried to win using the Kingslayer followed by the Vanitas but Endo instead Super Kicked her and got the pin with the Ju no Okite. Endo thinks this is a huge win because she just defeated a hero! She has a goal of her own, to win the tournament and bring the Princess Cup trophy back to her homecoming show this September. Her dad paid her a visit yesterday just to wish her luck in the tournament so she is fighting for him and their family. She also thinks it will be really cool if she beats Miyu Yamashita in the next round. Misao is not giving up on her goal to become the GM. She is giving herself three years to make it happen and once it does she promises to make TJPW even more enjoyable for everybody.

The youngest entrant in the main tournament has advanced to Round 2. Haru Kazashiro found a counter to HIMAWARI’s Sunflower Tempest and turned it into the Fisherman Suplex for the victory. HIMAWARI is disappointed to be eliminated after working so hard to get past the Preliminary League. It was also her first singles match with Kazashiro in two years so she got to see first hand just how much her opponent has grown. Kazashiro was looking forward to this match so she could avenge her loss to HIMAWARI in the 2023 Next Generation Tournament. She is also feeling like this year is going to be her breakthrough year. With Miu Watanabe now waiting for her in Round 2, Kazashiro wants to build up her momentum even further so she can win the Princess Cup and challenge for the Princess Title.

Today is Mifu Ashida’s birthday so Mahiro Kiryu sang Happy Birthday to her. Then as soon as she finished the song she tried to roll her up for a pinfall. She ended up using that for her Apology spot but Yamashita interrupted it by kicking her in the back.

Maki Itoh missed the show due to illness so Match #2 became a 3 Vs 4 Handicap match without her. Watanabe was moved over to the other team ins Itoh’s place just so Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku were all together as the Love Triangle.

The show was also Ren Konatsu’s first homecoming match, even though she only started wrestling two months ago. She was disappointed to drop the fall in the opening tag match because she was teaming with her favorite wrestler Suzume as well as fighting for her hometown. Suzume told her she understands the frustration but the match they had also showed how much fun pro wrestling is. This is how wrestlers get stronger so next time they’re in the same match she wants to see Konatsu getting the win on her own.

10. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs Jun Akiyama

The full cards for both days of “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025” have been revealed. As already mentioned, Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani want to take the KO-D Tag Titles from The Apex. They believe the current champs are undeserving of the belts. DAMNATION T.A are also bringing back Haruto Sakuraba for his next DDT appearance. Kumadori is also back from injury but his match has nothing to do with Ilusion so I guess we’re just moving on from that little feud for the time being.

The other big match of note in my mind is Hinata Kasai’s debut match. HARASHIMA has been chosen to be his first opponent. The kid is going to eat a Somato sooner or later so may as well get him use to it from the beginning.

Matches #3 and #4 have the possibility of turning into a KO-D Tag Title match depending on who wins on the previous day. D GENERATIONS are also being given the spotlight for a big 8-Man Tag.

Tokyo Princess Cup 2025 Brackets

July 17, 2025

Earlier today Tokyo Joshi Pro invited the 16 participants for this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup to take part in the random draw for the brackets. It was one of the rare times when every single wrestler showed up and was able to get their bracket spot in person. They got to pick in order of their birthdays. That means it started with Hyper Misao because her birthday is 3rd January and went on all the way to the end with HIMAWARI because her birthday is on 18th December. The bracket is split into four blocks with the Round 1 matches split across the first two shows.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 27/07/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1A: Raku Vs Miu Watanabe
2. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1C: Moka Miyamoto Vs Miyu Yamashita
3. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1E: Mizuki Vs Yuki Aino
4. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1G: Suzume Vs Wakana Uehara

It has been over five years since Raku and Miu Watanabe last had a singles match against each other. Raku is excited because the most fun she had from wrestling against Watanabe was the 3 Way Match they had with Haruna Neko this past January. It was the most fun because Raku won the match! She tried to intimidate Watanabe at the press conference by forming a triangle over her head with her arms. Watanabe thought she was trying to be a traffic cone.

Moka Miyamoto has a very big wall facing her in Round 1 against the returning Miyu Yamashita. She is feeling good after winning her two preliminary matches to qualify for the main tournament and will do her best to make this summer a long one. Yamashita has seen how much stronger Miyamoto has gotten but hasn’t felt that power yet. So she encourages her opponent to hit her harder otherwise she won’t be able to beat her. There is also someone in particular that Yamashita wants to beat in this tournament and that’s Rika Tatsumi! Their last singles match was in May 2021 at an empty Korakuen Hall because of the covid lockdown. She thinks Tatsumi’s matches have become special occassions and she’s noticed how crazier she has become since that last singles match. So Yamashita wants to decide which of them is crazier!

The reigning Princess Of Princess Champion has a big title match coming up in Ota Ward Gymnasium next week but Mizuki sees a vision beyond that. She thinks it would be amazing if the Princess Champion goes and wins the Princess Cup! It’s going to be hard but there are a lot of people in the tournament that Mizuki wants to fight. Yuki Aino wants to focus all of her energy to face the champion in Round 1. That’s if Mizuki is still the champion coming out of Ota Ward. Aino sees a lot of Princess champions in this tournament and she doesn’t want to be left out because she is the princess of the summer!

Funnily enough, during the Texas tour Suzume and Wakana Uehara wrestled each other in a tag match then afterwards talked about how long its been since their last singles match together. Suzume is not going to underestimate Uehara after seeing her advance through the preliminary league. She couldn’t make it to the final four last year so that is her goal this time around. Uehara was pinned by Suzume in Texas but is using this experience to help her win the Princess Cup. If she gets past Suzume then she has some familiar opponents waiting for her in Round 2. It’s either the woman who eliminated her last year or her Ober Eats tag team partner.

2. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1D: Arisu Endo Vs Hyper Misao
3. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1F: Shoko Nakajima Vs Rika Tatsumi
4. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1H: Yuki Kamifuku Vs Yuki Arai

Shades of last year’s Next Gen Tournament still follow around some of the wrestlers. HIMAWARI expects Haru Kazashiro to be a tough opponent because she won last year’s Next Gen Tournament while HIMAWARI was knocked out in Round 1. But HIMAWARI has been working hard and wants to keep her momentum going into the Princess Cup. Kazashiro remembers losing to HIMAWARI in the 2023 Next Gen Tournament and she is an opponent Kazashiro hasn’t been able to beat yet. So the timing of this match is a big deal for her. She will aim to seize the last summer of her high school years!

There was a time when Arisu Endo disliked having to wrestle Hyper Misao because Misao would always cheat. Her opinion slowly changed over time and now Endo sees Misao as a really cool hero! She hopes Misao will fight fair and square this time, just like how Endo always does. Misao said she can’t lost here in Round 1 because the Texas tour reaffirmed what she wants to do in TJPW. She needs a lot of power to protect love and peace in TJPW so she figures the quickest way to get it is to win this tournament.

Shoko Nakajima believes she is the only one who can climb this mountain and win. She is currently a Princess Tag Team Champion and also the MLW Women’s Featherweight Champion. She also wants to face Mizuki in Round 2 for a champion versus champion match. But first she needs to become a kaiju that can step over a dragon. Normally Rika Tatsumi loves the summer but all of a sudden this steep mountain has appeared in front of her. She just heard about Yamashita targeting her and she has a score to settle with Nakajima after they fought each other to a time limit draw last December. And of course there is the chance she could face her beloved Mizuki in Round 2. However she wants to fight Mizuki in a rematch for the Princess Title after she wins the tournament so she is actually rooting for Yuki Aino to win and meet her in Round 2 instead!

While Yuki Arai has been skyrocketing up the company to main event Ota Ward next week, Yuki Kamifuku has been wrestling around Southeast Asia and having fun doing it. She now feels like if TJPW fired her today or tomorrow she would have no trouble surviving it. She wants to show the others that invincible people are the scariest. Suzume, Arai and Uehara all have matches they want to get in Round 2 but Kamifuku is going to be mean and not let them happen. Arai has been taking part in the Princess Cup every year since her debut. It helped her make progress one step at a time but this will be her first since graduating as an idol to focus solely on wrestling. She’s thankful to hear so many wrestlers want to fight her so she hopes to be at her strongest to surpass all of those opponents.
