Great Wakabayashi-kun Returns, Upcoming BASARA Title Matches, A Love Triangle Is Happening To Love Triangle

October 13, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 14/10/2026
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi

1. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi/Great Wakabayashi-kun Vs Pom Harajuku Vs HIMAWARI
2. Next Generation Tournament ’26 – Round 1B: Shion Kanzaki Vs Chieri Sakimori
3. MIRAI Vs Momo Sato
4. Suzume & Arisu Endo Vs Haru Kazashiro & Uta Takami
5. Shoko Nakajima & Pokotan Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Zac (Battle Mode)

Earlier this year Rika Tatsumi debuted a new personality at “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” named The Great Wakabayashi-kun. The alter ego hasn’t been seen since but Tokyo Joshi Pro has received word that Wakabayashi-kun will re-emerge at tomorrow’s “TJPW INSPIRATION” show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW FALL TOUR ~RAY OF HOPE IN KASUKABE~”, 24/10/2026
Saitama Katsuki Fureai Cube Matsunaga Multipurpose Hall

1. Next Generation Tournament ’26 – Losers Bracket: Momo Sato Vs Loser Of Match 1B
2. Next Generation Tournament ’26 – Winners Bracket: Ren Konatsu Vs Winner Of Match 1B
3. Special Tag Match: Miyu Yamashita & Yuki Kamifuku Vs Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine

After the first Next Generation Tournament match took place we can now see Ren Konatsu going in the right direction and Momo Sato heading towards the wrong direction.

BASARA “BASARA 319 ~UTAGE AOI – SOUEN~”, 27/10/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) Vs Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura

The makeshift duo of Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura ended up winning the IRON FIST Tag Tournament and are now set to face Aijin Tag for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’26”, 08/11/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Next Generation Tournament ’26 – Final: Winner Of Winners Bracket Vs Winner Of Losers Bracket
2. Yui Debut Match: Yui Vs X
3. Shiori Futaba Debut Match: Shiori Futaba Vs X
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Nagisa Nozaki Vs X & X
5. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro (c) Vs Raku & Pom Harajuku
6. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima

Love Triangle by name, love triangle by nature. The first challengers for Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed are Raku & Pom Harajuku. The two of them have been very close with Yuki Aino for many years now with Aino at one time promising the three of them would somehow all hold the Princess Tag Team Titles at the same time. So now that Aino is champions with Haru Kazashiro, the pair known as RakuPom wants to know what gives? It will be Aino and her new love fighting against her old loves. Both the championships and Aino’s fiery heart will be on the line!

So not only are we getting the idol Shiori Futaba making her wrestling debut but TJPW will also be debuting their latest trainee Yui on the same show! I think they may have jumped the gun on holding the Next Gen Tournament right now because if they had waited a month they could have added two or even three more entries to it. All depends on if Futaba will be sticking around after her match.

BASARA “BASARA 321 ~TAKAGARI 36~”, 23/11/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Isami Kodaka

Even Isami Kodaka himself would admit he’s past his best days but the chance has come up for him to become the Union MAX Champion one more time. The current champion Takumi Tsukamoto is one of the people Kodaka has entrusted to actually running the company behind the scenes.

BASARA “BASARA 318 ~TAKAGARI 35~” Results

October 12, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 318 ~TAKAGARI 35~”, 12/10/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
??? Fans – Unannounced

-. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – B Block Final: Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida by Forfeit.
1. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – A Block Final: SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Shota Nakagawa when SAGAT pinned Nakagawa with the Gore Grind (11:40).
2. Chicharito Shoki defeated Daichi Kazato with an Inside Cradle (8:34).
3. 4-On-4 Elimination Match: Takumi Tsukamoto, Isami Kodaka, FUMA & Seiya Morohashi defeated Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino, Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano (19:57).
3a. Seiya Morohashi eliminated Takato Nakano by Ring Out (10:41).
3b. Takeru Inoue eliminated Seiya Morohashi with a Cradle (12:55).
3c. FUMA eliminated Masato Kamino with an Armbar (14:10).
3d. Tomoki Hatano eliminated FUMA with the Diving Guillotine Drop (14:21).
3e. Isami Kodaka eliminated Tomoki Hatano by Ring Out (16:05).
3f. Takeru Inoue eliminated Takumi Tsukamoto by Ring Out (17:08).
3g. Isami Kodaka eliminated Takeru Inoue with the Isamiashi Zan (19:57).
4. Tantan Menso defeated Judo Master with a Gedo Clutch (7:37).
5. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – Final: Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura defeated SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken when Shimomura pinned Kraken with the Swanton Bomb (14:01).

Earlier today at a Ganbare☆Pro show in the same venue, Shuichiro Katsumura talked about how potentially wrestling three matches in one day is a piece of cake for him. He ended up only having to wrestle in two. He and Daiki Shimomura received a bye into the IRON FIST Tag Tournament final because Ayato Yoshida suffered a left knee sprain at a 2AW show earlier in the day and had to be pulled from this show. The Super Family defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Shota Nakagawa in the only semi final to happen on the show. In the final SAGAT was able to break out of Katsumura’s Ninja Choke but Shimomura scored the win by pinning Lil’ Kraken with the Swanton Bomb.

After they were rewarded with the trophy, Shimomura thanked Katsumura for teaming with him on short notice before calling Aijin Tag to come into the ring. They made fun of the Iron Fist Tag Team Champions for getting eliminated in the first round and then asked when they are getting their title shot? Takato Nakano pointed out that Shimomura & Katsumura only reached the final because of a bye and it doesn’t sit right with him that they won the tournament without having to wrestle Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida first. He decided the title match will happen on 27th October and Masato Kamino promised they won’t lose to a pair of scrawny little runts!

Judo Master and Tantan Menso spent their match arguing whether or not tantanmen ramen is a Japanese dish or a foreign dish. It is based on a Chinese recipe but Menso claims it is a domestic product because the ingredients come from Chiba. Master tried to attack Menso with a pair of nunchucks but ended up getting pinned with a Gedo Clutch.

By being the sole survivor of the Elimination Tag Match, Isami Kodaka challenged Takumi Tsukamoto for the Union MAX Title. Kodaka explained that he usually isn’t very good with Elimination Tag stipulations so winning one today should definitely earn him a title shot. Tsukamoto accepted and also allowed Kodaka to choose the date and location of the match. Kodaka picked Takashimadaira Kumin Center, the venue they are in right now and the match will happen at BASARA’s next show here on 23rd November. Tsukamoto warned that he is incredibly strong right now and Kodaka is completely aware of that.

With Yoshida pulling out due to a sudden injury, 2AW sent over Chicharito Shoki to the show as a last minute replacement. BASARA decided to eliminate Kazato & Yoshida from the tournament so Kazato’s new match was a singles bout with Shoki. During the match Shoki started imitating Yoshida by finding different ways to bully Kazato. It reached a point where Kazato had to convince Shoki he wasn’t Yoshida while speaking as if Yoshida was no longer among them. The two wrestlers hugged and Shoki suddenly cradled Kazato for the three count. Both of them then encouraged the fans to chant for Yoshida.

GANBARE☆PRO “LOVE IS STEROIDS 2026” Results

October 12, 2026

GANBARE☆PRO “LOVE IS STEROIDS 2026”, 12/10/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
122 Fans

1. Sentaro Motojima defeated Kento Kiryu with a Crab Hold (7:40).
2. Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi defeated Shinichiro Tominaga & Ryota Nakatsu when Maeguchi pinned Tominaga with the Ago Shitsurei Itashimasu (12:26).
3. Ken Ohka & Shota Kawakami defeated Keisuke Ishii & Ali Najima when Ohka pinned Najima with the Flame Spear (13:00).
4. Yumehito Imanari & YuuRI defeated Hyo Ogawa & Saito when YuuRI pinned Saito with a Rolling Leg Folding Hold (17:23).
5. Shuichiro Katsumura, Yuya Susumu & Daiki Shimomura defeated Mizuki Watase, Shota Nakagawa & SUSHI when Katsumura submitted SUSHI with the Ninja Choke (21:24).

With the main event going over twenty minutes, Shuichiro Katsumura claimed the match was a total breeze and bragged that he wasn’t feeling tired at all. He is also going to be wrestling in a tag team tournament for BASARA later today where he could possibly wrestle twice in one show. If he ends up wrestling three times today then Katsumura thinks it will be a piece of cake for him. Mizuki Watase bragged about his own schedule, having already wrestled six matches this month, then wrestling in a Glass Board Death Match over in FREEDOMS, then doing a crazy mat wrestling match before bouncing back and forth between Tokyo and Osaka to do another death match. The real test of endurance between them has begun and Watase has not hit his physical limit yet. Katsumura promised their two back to back matches at Korkauen Hall at the end of the month will be really intense. Backstage Yuya Susumu accused Watase of only having singles matches on his mind so much that he doesn’t realize Susumu will be his opponent too. If he’s going to rely on Jun Kasai for the tag match then he’ll be in for a rude awakening.

When the show was over, Ken Ohka got into the ring and got Yumehito Imanari to tape an interview with him about his upcoming match with HARASHIMA. Ohka said HARASHIMA isn’t a smart person then admitted he’s only saying that because HARASHIMA does not have any weaknesses. Imanari asked if doing this is an act of disrespect and Ohka got defensive over it. He also started arguing that he hasn’t run out of ideas for his series of 25th Anniversary matches. When he said he’s going to keep coming up with matches for the series, the fans booed him. Ohka also had to comment on behalf of his Toyama team of wrestlers over allegations that the Toyama prefecture has been inflating their population numbers in a recent census. There have been calls for the Toyama group to disband over the controversy but Ohka defiantly says they will continue.

5. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – Final: X & X Vs X & X

While Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi is dealing with his current bout of love sickness, Judo Master will be around to fill in for him. Master’s next appearance in BASARA will be for a match against the 2AW masked wrestler Tantan Menso. Although rumour has it the man under that mask is someone Hiroshi would already be familiar with. Someone who used to show up in DDT years ago as an X a lot…

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’26”, 08/11/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shiori Futaba Debut Match: Shiori Futaba Vs X
2. Next Generation Tournament ’26 – Final: Winner Of Winners Bracket Vs Winner Of Losers Bracket
3. Yuki Kamifuku & Nagisa Nozaki Vs X & X
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima

Another champion will be challenging Yuki Arai for the Princess Of Princess Title next. Shoko Nakajima wasted no time in demanding Arai make her the next opponent for the November Korakuen Hall show. She also currently holds the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title. If Arai turned down the temptation of winning the International Princess Title from Suzume then I doubt she has the desire to fight for Nakajima’s belt.

She and Congrazie! were part of the Tokyo Idol Festival shows that TJPW held two months ago. Futaba even briefly held the Iron Man Title for two minutes back then. She wants to go through with this because she felt a connection with fans doing that show and she would like to have Shoko Nakajima be part of her match. No decision has been made if this will become a regular thing for Futaba or just a one time match.

4. Minoru Suzuki, Ken Ohka & Mizuki Watase Vs Keisuke Ishii, Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga

There is light rain forecast in Saitama tomorrow but this outdoor show is expected to go ahead as planned. Should the weather become more severe than expected there is a chance Ganbare☆Pro could cancel it.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHINJUKU FACE COUNTDOWN SERIES – I WON’T CRY THERE’S NO WAY I WILL CRY”, 27/09/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. 3 Way Match: Mizuki Vs Raku Vs Pom Harajuku

7. CASPA Presents Tag Match: Yuki Arai & Miyu Yamashita Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo

The last Tokyo Joshi Pro event in Shinjuku FACE is also the go home show for “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII”. This is the last chance for the two Daisy Monkey wrestlers to get everything in place for their title matches. Suzume thinks she almost has Yuki Arai figured out. Can’t quite say the same for Arisu Endo in regards to Miyu Yamashita at the moment though. That Tokyo Princess Cup match from last year is drifting further and further away as time moves on.

Nothing solves problems in a relationship better than throwing a ninja into them mix, that’s what I always say.

Only seven out of the eight teams were revealed when I posted about the IRON FIST Tag Tournament yesterday but the final team has been added since then. The odd couple of Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida completes the field.

1. Shoko Nakajima & Pokotan Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Zac (Battle Mode)

I’m not a pet owner so how does one exactly unlock a Battle Mode for their dog? Yuki Kamifuku has brought her beloved Zac into the wrestling ring a few times before but not to actually wrestle in a match!

GANBARE☆PRO “STENDHAL SYNDROME 2026” Results

June 14, 2026

GANBARE☆PRO “STENDHAL SYNDROME 2026”, 14/06/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
151 Fans

1. Ken Ohka & Guts Ishijima defeated Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga when Ishijima pinned Tominaga with the Twister (9:27).
2. YuuRI defeated Moe Hiiro with a Sleeper Hold (7:59).
3. Kouki Iwasaki defeated Shota Kawakami with the Back Drop (11:34).
4. Baliyan Akki & Munetatsu Nakamura defeated Shigehiro Irie & Sentaro Motojima when Nakamura pinned Motojima with the Octopus Killer (14:20).
5. Shuichiro Katsumura 50th Birthday Match: Shuichiro Katsumura, Yuya Susumu & Kikujiro Umezawa defeated Yumehito Imanari, Takuya Wada & Moeka Haruhi when Katsumura submitted Imanari with the Standing Ninja Choke (16:05).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) defeated Tyson “Ultimate” Maeguchi with the Venetian 3rd Time (13:22).
*V3 for Mizuki Watase.

Tyson Maeguchi showed up to the main event in his “Ultimate” form which prompted Mizuki Watase to take off his own boots and wrestling gear so he could also fight in his “Ultimate” form. Watase also leaned into Maeguchi’s strikes determined not to lose to the kickboxing style. He had a few close calls with Maeguchi getting some 2.9 pin counts. Maeguchi then decided to take off his boxing gloves and fight bare handed, almost knocking Watase out with a Knuckle Punch. Watase survived all of that to fight back with a Brainbuster, a Michinoku Driver II and finally the Venetian to get the win. Watase then told Maeguchi after the match he wants a shot at the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles. However, Ken Ohka & Guts Ishijima have also thrown out a challenge for the belts and later convinced Maeguchi to give them the match first on 4th July.

All throughout the show the wrestler SUSHI would walk down to the ring after some matches and plead his case for Ganbare☆Pro to book him again. He first confronted Ohka after the opening match to complain why he hasn’t appeared in GanPro since his first appearance in April. Ohka wasn’t interested and used the excuse that he is not the matchmaker to ignore him. Keisuke Ishii also turned down the offer of fighting SUSHI again, explaining the time isn’t right for him to get revenge for SUSHI pinning him last time around. SUSHI then interrupted an announcement from Michiyoshi Mishima asking to get booked only to be told has has to wait until the show was over to come talk about it. It wasn’t until after the main event was finished when Watase decided to nominate SUSHI as the next challenger for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title because unlike the others he likes to make sure promises are kept! Mishima reluctantly booked the title match for 4th July but only because Watase would throw another tantrum if it doesn’t happen.

With his 50th birthday approaching on 17th June, Shuichiro Katsumura decided his first goal at that age is to beat Takuya Wada for the SOG Tag Titles. He also told his opponents to remember today’s match when they all turn 50. He knows Wada will be fifty in two years time and Yumehito Imanari in ten years time. He then asked Moeka Haruhi how old she is and her answer was she hasn’t kept count since she turned 25.

Mishima’s big announcement that SUSHI interrupted was regarding YuuRI and her match at GanPro’s next Korakuen Hall show on 15th August. She is going to face Takumi Iroha in a singles match! YuuRI requested this match to happen because she has looked up to Iroha and watched her matches even before YuuRI became a wrestler herself. However she believes she cannot beat Iroha if she holds onto that admiration forever. That is the lesson she learned from her match with Utami Hayashihita back in April. So when she faces Iroha she will not be fighting her idol. Instead she is going to spark her own revolution inside Korakuen!

This card has some changes made because of Sumi’s injury but Rukiya is expected to return. The main event isn’t affected because it focuses on To-y getting to fight Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA before their KO-D Tag Team Titles match.

GANBARE☆PRO “STENDHAL SYNDROME 2026”, 14/06/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

Sumi has been replaced with To-y in the Ring Removal Death Match. That is the main event while the rest of the match order is to be determined.

DDT “OWARI WARS 2026”, 21/06/2026
Aichi Chunichi Hall & Conference

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & Ilusion
2. DDT Extreme Title: Hideki Okatani (c) Vs Junta Miyawaki
3. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA (c) Vs Yuki Ueno & To-y

Has To-y figured out the key to beating Brookes is to annoy the hell out of him? He’s going around calling himself the Prince Of Nagoya who comes from the future where he and Yuki Ueno win the KO-D Tag Titles from Brookes & HARASHIMA. Brookes is quickly getting fed up with his wacky behavior.

There will be a post about Daisuke Sasaki and his Best Of The Super Jr. adventure next week but he is returning to DDT with a losing record in the tournament. However Ilusion has gotten him and MJ Paul a chance to win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles again so DAMNATION T.A can increase their current collection of championships to ten belts.

DDT “KING OF KINGS ~TENKA TAIRAN~”, 28/06/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Junta Miyawaki & Viento Maligno Vs Akito & Miles Karu
1. The 37KAMIINA Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs KANON & Yuki Iino (w/ KIMIHIRO)
2. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion

6. Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs MAO
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Shinya Aoki

There is just so much energy coming out of Sanshiro Takagi with his return to the ring and he wants to use it against someone he hasn’t fought in a singles match in a while. The last time Takagi fought MAO one on one was in New York back in 2019 (ignoring the Baka Gaijin + Friends universe where Takagi Sanshirobo fought Tyrannosaurus Inoue).

We have one more Minoru Suzuki appearance to wrap up the King Of DDT arc. Too bad for him he has to go team up with Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata.

The Dropkick Bar is being well represented for Soma Takao’s comeback match. He along with Naomi Yoshimura, Yukio Naya and Yuki Ishida all work there in one form or another.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 31: SUSPENDED ANIMATION”, 30/06/2026
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs Miles Karu

The Japan excursion continues for Miles Karu with a stop by Baka Gaijin + Friends added to his schedule for the end of the month.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26”, 18/07/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Aja Kong Vs Arisu Endo

It’s going to be the thumbs up from Arisu Endo battling against the Uraken fist of Aja Kong.

Also planned to appear on the show are Sakura Hirota and MIRAI.

Kira Summer will not be on the show because she will be spending a month back home in Australia. She will be gone from Tokyo Joshi Pro from 18th July to 16th August but will be wrestling a few times in Australia during that period.

Sumi Injured, Aoki Vs Ueno For KO-D Title, Sasaki’s Deflating Summer

June 2, 2026

DDT “DDT MY LOVE 2026”, 03/06/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Akito
2. 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Munetatsu Nakamura Vs Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Danshoku Dieno, Naomi Yoshimura & KANON
3. Junta Miyawaki Three Match Trial – Match 2: Junta Miyawaki Vs Kazuki Hirata
4. MAO & Yukio Naya (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Jun Akiyama & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
5. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Viento Maligno
6. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai Vs Daichi Sato, To-y, Yuni & Yuki Ishida

You can add Kazuma Sumi to the injury list along with Rukiya. He suffered an eye injury while wrestling in France last month but worked through it up to this past weekend. He was then diagnosed with a fractured medial wall in his right orbit and told not to wrestle for a month. He will be back after the 27th June show but until then DDT has to shuffle around their upcoming cards for his absence as well as Rukiya being hurt too. Tomorrow’s show had a couple of changes to its matchmaking from the main event right down to the opener.

Something is up with Viento Maligno and Shinya Aoki has figured it out. Well he had to go do something else when he couldn’t find Keigo Nakamura anywhere. Whatever it is he wants Maligno to admit in front of everybody, he has a chance to stretch it out of him tomorrow.

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAM TAKASHIMAYA VOL. 4”, 06/06/2025
Tokyo Shinjuku Takashimaya 1st Floor JR Exit Special Venue

0. Surprise Match – Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match: Haru Kazashiro & Chika Nanase Vs Ren Konatsu & Shion Kanzaki
1. Shinjuku Takashimaya Half-Day Promotional Ambassador Time-Lag Entry Battle Royal: Kazuma Sumi Vs Junta Miyawaki Vs Yukio Naya Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Yuni Vs Yuki Ishida Vs Rukiya Vs Hyper Misao Vs Yuki Kamifuku Vs Pokotan
2. paleyouth Vs FANTÔMES DRAMATIC!: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato Vs Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Hinata Kasai
3. The 37KAMIINA Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs MAO, KANON & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO)

A bonus Tokyo Joshi Pro tag match is happening before DDT’s day at Shinjuku Takashimaya officially begins. For Shion Kanzaki she will be returning to the scene of the crime where she witnessed Sumire Uesaka assault her boss Tetsuya Koda in the lead up to “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” earlier this year.

DDT/NJPW “ONE-ON-ONE CONFRONTATION PART 2 ~SASADANGO-GUN VS YANO-GUN 5-ON-5 ELIMINATION TAG BATTLE~”, 08/06/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X
2. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X
3. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X
4. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X
5. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X

Sasadango-gun: Super Sasadango Machine, MAO, Kazuki Hirata, Akito, Antonio Honda

Yano-gun: Toru Yano, El Desperado, Ryusuke Taguchi, Tomoaki Honma, Hirooki Goto

On paper this looks like the final lineup because it’s five versus five but who knows what other surprises are in store. Toru Yano has added a strong wrestler to his team with Hirooki Goto as the fifth man. Super Sasadango Machine had to do with just picking Antonio Honda because Danshoku Dieno keeps finding excuses not to take part. The latest is he wants to balance his sleeping schedule in order to watch World Cup matches live in the middle of the night.

The show is going for more of a sports feel by having Yano’s team be in red while Sasadango’s team will be in green. Fans are being encouraged to show up wearing the colour of the team they want to support.

GANBARE☆PRO “STENDHAL SYNDROME 2026”, 14/06/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Shuichiro Katsumura 50th Birthday Match: Shuichiro Katsumura, Yuya Susumu & Kikujiro Umezawa Vs Yumehito Imanari, Takuya Wada & Moeka Haruhi
2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Tyson Maeguchi

It will be champion versus champion for the next Spirit Of Ganbare Title Match. Tyson Maeguchi currently holds one of the tag titles but he wants to fight Mizuki Watase for the singles championship. In return Watase will get to face The Deadlock for the tag titles somewhere down the line.

A party match is being thrown for Shuichiro Katsumura just a few days before he turns fifty. Some familiar faces will be there like Moeka Haruhi who Katsumura used to team with as part of THE HALFEE. The new face showing up is a wrestler from Tokyo named Kikujiro Umezawa. Katsumura used to wrestle him often on the smaller indies over a decade ago.

DDT “KING OF KINGS ~TENKA TAIRAN~”, 28/06/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Soma Takao Comeback Match: Soma Takao Vs X
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Shinya Aoki

This year’s King Of DDT winner Shinya Aoki is ready to fight his friend Yuki Ueno for DDT’s top prize once again. They fought over the KO-D Openweight Title once before back in August 2024 and Aoki won that encounter. How much they hold each other in high esteem promises both will be fighting their very best to be the KO-D Champion once again.

After being away from six months to deal with a knee injury, Soma Takao is ready to make his comeback. He thinks he has been away for so long that there’s since been a turnover in the DDT audience and the new fans don’t know him as anything other than the Dropkick Bar manager.

DDT “CHARISMANIA IV”, 02/07/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. O-40 Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs X

Well, the Best Of The Super Jr. isn’t working out the way Daisuke Sasaki would have liked it to. He still has the O-40 Title though and wants to defend it at his next “CHARISMANIA” show.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026”, 11/08/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Time Delayed Entry Battle Royal: Sumire Uesaka (c) Vs X
2. Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & X Vs Antonio Honda & X
3. Dramatic Dream Match: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Kaisei Takechi

If that news doesn’t float your boat then how about Antonio Honda as one of his opponents for Sumo Hall this summer, huh? Huh? DDT doesn’t even want to put in the effort of booking their tag team partners so they told Sasaki and Honda to go find their own. There is still the competition attached to this where fans can predict what the match is going to be. Honda wants to find a partner that no one could ever guess. Sasaki is thinking the opposite and might go with his most obvious option available. Even then that leaves a big gap for guessing. Is it someone from DAMNATION T.A? How about Dick Togo, Shuji Ishikawa, El Desperado or AMAKUSA? See, it’s not be as obvious as it sounds.

GANBARE☆PRO “IT’S A SUMMER FILM 2026”, 15/08/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Munetatsu Nakamura Vs Chris Brookes

There might have been a chance Munetatsu Nakamura would be Watase’s next title challenger but it turns out the youngster already had a different idea he asked Ganbare☆Pro to set up for him. He wants a singles match against Chris Brookes as his way of saying thanks for everything Brookes has done for him up until now. This goes all the way back to Nakamura being a fan of Brookes to Brookes taking him under his wing as a wrestler and even helping pay for some of his medical treatment when he was out with a neck injury. The best way for Nakamura to pay him back is to beat him in a wrestling match!

GANBARE☆PRO “SUNSHINE CLEANING 2026” Results

May 6, 2026

GANBARE☆PRO “SUNSHINE CLEANING 2026”, 06/05/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
??? Fans

1. Moeka Haruhi defeated Chie Ozora with the Haruhi Rainbow (7:14).
2. Yuya Susumu & Reiya Igarashi defeated Keisuke Ishii & Sentaro Motojima when Igarashi pinned Motojima with the Fisherman Suplex (12:59).
3. Shuichiro Katsumura & YuuRI defeated Munetatsu Nakamura & Soi when YuuRI submitted Soi with the Spiral Dragon Sleeper (13:45).
4. Yumehito Imanari & Rekka defeated Mizuki Watase & Shota Kawakami when Imanari submitted Kawakami with a Headlock (18:56).
5. Ken Ohka, Akira Shoji & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Takuya Wada, Tyson Maeguchi & Fuminori Abe when Shoji pinned Maeguchi with the Toyama Black Driver (14:23).

The main event pitted wrestlers from Toyama against wrestlers from the Kanto region. When Akira Shoji scored the winning pin on Tyson Maeguchi, it didn’t take long for Ken Ohka to brag about Toyama winning because it is more urban while Kanto is filled with country bumpkins. Ohka then said when Shoji & Hideki Sekine win the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles, he and Shinichiro Tominaga will be the first to challenge them. Although Maeguchi lost directly to Shoji, he is still confident he can defend the tag titles against him. His reasoning is Shoji only has power and his slow speed is a big weakness that can be exploited. He also revealed he and Takuya Wada came up with a new team name. They are now called The Deadlock.

The Toyama team’s bragging didn’t go unnoticed by Shuichiro Katsumura. The Ganbare☆Pro show on 31st May with the tag title match is being held in his home city of Yokohama. He claims to have powerful allies over there so in order to counter the Toyama trio, he is forming the Yokohama City Naka Ward Association. Its three members are Katsumura, Minoru Fujita and Gouma Ryu. He warns this group is stronger than the Toyama team and he’s going to prove it!
