Becoming, Death Volleyball Club, Wrestle Princess VII Main Event

August 24, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “BECOMING”, 29/08/2026
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi

1. Chika Nanase Vs Shion Kanzaki
2. Haru Kazashiro Vs Kira Summer
3. Shino Suzuki Vs Mifu Ashida
4. Wakana Uehara Vs Momo Sato
5. HIMAWARI & Toga Vs Uta Takami & Ren Konatsu

We already have DDT establishing D GENERATIONS as the shows dedicated to their younger wrestlers. Tokyo Joshi Pro are doing their own twist on things with “BECOMING”, an event that only features wrestlers who debuted in 2023 or later. If this idea catches on I can see it being used to host some matches for the Next Generation Tournament if that comes back for another year this year.

BASARA “BASARA 315 ~UTAGE~”, 11/09/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Yasu Urano Vs Takeru Inoue, Tomoki Hatano & Hajime

The build up for the next Iron Fist Tag Team Titles brings in some guys from HEAT-UP. According to the company’s profile on the wrestler, Hajime has a Capoeira background. I need to see for myself how much he puts that skill into his wrestling because that style has been absent around this corner of the wrestling world ever since Pedro Takaishi from Muscle retired.

BASARA “SHINJUKU FACE COUNTDOWN SERIES – BASARA 316 ~KOO~”, 23/09/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Hardcore 6-Man Tag Match: Isami Kodaka, FUMA & Shota Nakagawa Vs SAGAT, Lil’ Kraken & Minoru Fujita
2. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) Vs Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano
3. Union MAX Title -Dosukoi Gethering Presents-: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Ryota Nakatsu

The very first match in BASARA history had Ryota Nakatsu in it and took place inside Shinjuku FACE. So it is fitting that BASARA’s final show in the venue is being headlined by Nakatsu challenging Takumi Tsukamoto for the Union MAX Title.

Next to BASARA, HEAT-UP is the next promotion where Takeru Inoue wrestles the most often. He has formed a tag team with Tomoki Hatano over there called Death Volleyball Club, named after the devotion both wrestlers have towards the sport. Well, devotion might be a strong word but they’ve both been part of a volleyball club.  They also wanted a name that sounds cooler than Aijin Tag and came up with that. Now Inoue has tricked Aijin Tag into giving Death Volleyball Club a title shot despite having won nothing to deserve it.

Indie wrestler Shota Nakagawa makes his BASARA debut as part of a Hardcore trios match. He used to wrestle in Ganbare☆Pro for a while between 2017 to 2019 but I haven’t heard what he’s been up to since then.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII”, 03/10/2026
Tokyo EBARA WAVE Arena Ota

1. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Suzume

The next big match TJPW is putting together could be seen as a culmination of all the work that was done to push the second generation of main eventers. Suzume has won the Tokyo Princess Cup while holding the International Princess Title and it has encouraged her to get greedy. She now wants to fight Yuki Arai for the Princess Of Princess Title! Suzume has said she has no intentions of unifying the two championships if she wins this match. She already has an idea in mind of how to defend the two titles separately if given the opportunity. Arai meanwhile is putting all of her energy into defending the Princess Title to the point where she believes she is at her limit. She doesn’t think she could handle becoming a Double Crown champion so the International Princess Title will not be on the line for this match.

The venue we used to know as Ota Ward Gymnasium has now been renamed EBARA WAVE Arena Ota. The Ebara Corporation got the naming rights for the venue since April and the deal is to remain in place until 2030.

BASARA “BASARA 314 ~UTAGE~” Results

August 21, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 314 ~UTAGE~”, 21/08/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans

1. Masato Kamino defeated Takeru Inoue with the Lariat (8:25).
2. Banana Senga (w/ Gouma Ryu) Vs Antonio Honda ended in a No Contest (8:25).
3. 4 Way Tag Match: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Tsutomu Oosugi Vs Daichi Kazato & Seiya Morohashi Vs Takato Nakano & Yasu Urano Vs Lil’ Kraken & Minoru Fujita ended in a Draw when Hiroshi and Kazato pinned each other with a simultaneous Backslide Pin, Kraken and Morohashi pinned each other with a simultaneous Backslide Pin, Nakano and Fujita pinned each other with a simultaneous Backslide Pin and Oosugi and Urano pinned each other with a simultaneous Backslide Pin (9:02).
4. Isami Kodaka & FUMA defeated Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT when FUMA submitted SAGAT with an Armbar (13:25).
5. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) defeated Daiki Shimomura with the Dragon Kicker (16:54).
*V1 for Takumi Tsukamoto.

With Daiki Shimomura now taken care of, Takumi Tsukamoto can move on to focus on defending the Union MAX Title against Ryota Nakatsu on 23rd September. That show will be the last time BASARA will be inside Shinjuku FACE and it will be part of the opening day of the Shinjuku FACE Countdown Series. Nakatsu describes the upcoming title match as Tsukamoto’s big mountain facing against Nakatsu’s vast ocean. Tsukamoto claimed he was an island so both the mountains and the sea belong to him. Nakatsu disagrees because Tsukamoto only used the “mountains” to beat Shuji Ishikawa. Tsukamoto admitted Nakatsu has a point but at Shinjuku FACE next month he will show him there is a bigger side to him.

Match #2 was confusing from the beginning as Antonio Honda walked to the ring dressed in Banana Senga’s gear and then Senga appeared wearing Honda’s outfit. Gouma Ryu was at ringside for the match and only noticed halfway through that the wrestlers had swapped personalities. One thing let to another and Gouma started making fun of both wrestlers for being bald. Suddenly the UWF theme began playing and the ring announcer Yoshiro Yabu came down to tell Ryu that baldness is hereditary. The three bald people all attacked Ryu with Bionic Elbows and Yabu pinned him with the Shining Wizard. The bald people all left the ring singing along to Antonio Inoki’s theme song and the referee called for a no contest.

Although Takeru Inoue lost to Masato Kamino in the opening match, he still wanted to fight Aijin Tag so he can get revenge for losing matches against both Kamino & Takato Nakano. He already has a partner in mind and it is somebody he has teamed with before. It is Tomoki Hatano from HEAT-UP and their team is the Death Volleyball Club! Kamino praised Inoue for showing spirit but Inoue took that to mean the match will also be for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles! Kamino tried to correct him that it wasn’t but Inoue wouldn’t listen and left ringside. Kamino later explained what happened to Nakano and Nakano also came to the conclusion that Kamino had accepted a challenge for the titles so they will have to go through with it. They want to set the record for most title defences anyway and will set up the bout for 23rd September.

GM Wars Intensify, Princess Cup Quater Finals, Upcoming Max Title Matches

August 4, 2026

DDT “MEMORIES OF SUMMER VACATION 2026”, 05/08/2026
Shinjuku FACE

0. Dark Match: Soma Takao & Hinata Kasai Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga & MBM
1. Kazuma Sumi & Yuki Ishida Vs Jun Akiyama & Rukiya
2. Sanshiro Takagi, Naomi Yoshimura & Hisaya Imabayashi Vs Ilusion, MJ Paul & Tetsuya Koda
3. Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani Vs Shunma Katsumata & Masami Inahata
4. Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda Vs Shinya Aoki, Junta Miyawaki & Akito
6. Special 10-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku, Daichi Sato & To-y Vs MAO, KANON, Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI)

The Tokyo Idol Festival is over and Tetsuya Koda has come out of it as the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. The Tokyo Joshi Pro boss pulling off this stunt does not impress the DDT GM Hisaya Imabayashi. The two authority figures have been at each other’s throats on and off for years. The Iron Man Champion is meant to be wrestling on tomorrow’s DDT show which means Koda now has to take part. Such an idea is insulting to Imabayashi so he is adding himself to the match in response to this so he can teach Koda a lesson that DDT is not the place for amateurs in their fifties!

Going into tomorrow’s show the Right To Challenge holders are Shunma Katsumata (Red), Viento Levante (Blue) and KANON (Purple).

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 08/08/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Miu Watanabe & Ren Konatsu Vs Wakana Uehara & Momo Sato
2. Miyu Yamashita, Sakura Hattori, Haru Kazashiro & Chika Nanase Vs Yuki Kamifuku, Raku, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami
3. Yuki Arai, Mifu Ashida & Shion Kanzaki Vs Mizuki, Mahiro Kiryu & Pom Harajuku
4. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Suzume Vs Shoko Nakajima
5. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Toga Vs Yuki Aino
6. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Arisu Endo Vs HIMAWARI
7. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Rika Tatsumi Vs Hyper Misao

We’re currently on a little break from the Tokyo Princess Cup until it resumes with the Quarter Finals this weekend. Rika Tatsumi and Hyper Misao are back in the ring against each other so soon after their Princess Tag Team Titles feud last month. The other end of the bracket has Suzume against Shoko Nakajima in what is sure to be a barnburner. HIMAWARI can set off a Cinderella run if she can defeat last year’s finalist Arisu Endo. The same could be said for Toga if her frozen demeaner doesn’t melt against Yuki Aino’s fire. After this round the brackets will get jumbled up for the final four which makes predicting this round a little bit more difficult than it looks on paper.

DDT “KANDA MYOJIN CULTURAL EXCHANGE PRESENTS AFTER PETER PAN ~RYOGOKU AFTER PARTY~”, 17/08/2026
Tokyo Kanda Myojin Hall

1. New Generation Variety Team Discovery Audition Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Antonio Honda Vs Kazuma Sumi Vs Yuki Ishida Vs Rukiya Vs Masami Inahata Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Super Sasadango Machine Title: Super Sasadango Machine (c) Vs Ilusion

I think there have been times in the past when Muscle Sakai would defend the championship belt he wears around his waist but I can’t remember a time when Super Sasadango Machine has ever done it in DDT. That changes when the belt labelled King Of Sasadango it put on the line against Ilusion.

The DDT comedy wrestlers are looking for new additions to their “Variety Team”. They are holding an audition and it is mandatory for the wrestlers they invited to take part in it.

This DDT show is going to be a small one because it is more like a fan event with some matches taking place rather than a full on wrestling show. Only one more match is planned to be added to the card.

BASARA “BASARA 314 ~UTAGE~”, 21/08/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Daiki Shimomura

The new Union MAX Champion already has challengers lined up for him. When Takumi Tsukamoto held a 7-match Gauntlet to prepare himself for his title shot the only wrestler he dropped a fall to was Daiki Shimomura. Now is the time for Shimomura to call his shot and get a title match with his former tag team partner.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “FUCKED UP FEST 2026”, 22/08/2026
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR

1. SEKIFUDA 1 YEAR OF BAKA ~ Special Single Match: Kota Sekifuda Vs Minoru Suzuki
2. Hardcore Tag Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Jun Kasai & Chris Brookes

Just imagine the mess everyone will have to clean up after the Hardcore Match. Jun Kasai takes part in his first “FUCKED UP FEST” to join Chris Brookes so they can fight ShunMao together.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 23/08/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara Vs Sumire Natsu & Mifu Ashida
2. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: X Vs X

This doesn’t look like it would be a tough challenge for Ober Eats. After all, Yuki Kamifuku already knows how effective it is to use makeup remover against opponents who are caked in the stuff. Sumire Natsu is like 80% makeup and 20% human at this point! Best stick Wakana Uehara and Mifu Ashida in there to make sure things don’t get too catty between Kamiyu and Natsu.

BASARA “SHINJUKU FACE COUNTDOWN SERIES – BASARA 316 ~KOO~”, 23/09/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Ryota Nakatsu

The winner of the 21st August title match will go on to defend the MAX Title against Ryota Nakatsu at BASARA’s final show to be held inside Shinjuku FACE. The show is happening on the first day of the Shinjuku FACE Countdown Series, a list of wrestling events happening in the final days of the venue’s existence. They will be on after Sendai Girls that day.

BASARA “BASARA 313 ~SUPER BRILLIANCE~” Results

August 2, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 313 ~SUPER BRILLIANCE~”, 02/08/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. FUMA, Ryuichi Sekine & Seiya Morohashi defeated Daiki Shimomura, Takeru Inoue & Yasu Urano when FUMA pinned Inoue with the Atomic Bomb (11:32).
2. Grace Project Presents – 3-Way 6-Man Tag Match: SAGAT, Lil’ Kraken & Minoru Fujita defeated Captain Grace, Yusaku Ito & Violento Jack and Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (w/ Gouma Ryu) when SAGAT pinned Hiroshi with the Dynamic Bomb (9:16).
3. Ayato Yoshida defeated Daichi Kazato with the Leg Clutch Back Drop (12:39).
4. Dosukoi no Tsudoi Presents: Ryota Nakatsu defeated Shunma Katsumata with the V Slider (13:58).
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) defeated Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto when Nakano pinned Kodaka with the Takagari (15:15).
*V5 for Aijin Tag.
6. Union MAX Title – Clutch Supporters Association Presents: Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Shuji Ishikawa (c) with the Zudon (18:41).
*Shuji Ishikawa fails in V5. Takumi Tsukamoto becomes the 25th Union MAX Champion!

After eight months the Union MAX Title is now back around the waist of a BASARA wrestler. Takumi Tsukamoto kicked out of the Giant Driver and went on to pin Shuji Ishikawa with the Zudon to cause the title change. There were no hard feelings over the result and Ishikawa wrapped the title around Tsukamoto after the match. The new champion said when he stepped into the ring today it felt like his opponent was 4 metres tall but a real man always wants to hunt the big ones. Tsukamoto told Ishikawa he was the first person he ever had a Lighttube Death Match with and today he is happy to beat him in an important Korakuen Hall main event. He also thanked him for doing his part to make BASARA more exciting over the last year.

Tsukamoto invited the rest of the BASARA locker room into the ring for the closing speech. Ryota Nakatsu brought up the upcoming closure of Shinjuku FACE next month and reminded everyone the venue held BASARA’s first show ten years ago. He challenged Tsukamoto for the MAX Title at BASARA’s final show in Shinjuku FACE on 23rd September. However, Daiki Shimomura interrupted him and said that date is still a while away. He brought up how he was the only person to beat Tsukamoto in Tsukamoto’s 7-Match Trial last month so he should be getting a title shot first. Tsukamoto agreed to put the MAX Title on the line against Shimomura in Shin-Kiba 1st RING on 21st August. The winner and therefore the champion will then go on to defend the title against Nakatsu at September’s Shinjuku FACE show.

Aijin Tag are marching on towards their goal of breaking the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles record for most defences. They are now at five wins after beating Yankee Two Kenji. The win came from Masato Kamino giving Isami Kodaka a Lariat before Kodaka could lift up Takato Nakano for a Power Bomb. Then while Kamino took care of Yuko Miyamoto, Nakano climbed the top turnbuckle and hit the Takagari on Kodaka for the three count. Kamino called it a decisive win which means Aijin Tag has now surpassed Yankee Two Kenji! Miyamoto admitted the goal he and Kodaka put forth today was quite high for them to reach. They’re both becoming old men but they are still going out there because they are strong.

Former rivals and classmates from the DNA days met each other again when Nakatsu took on Shunma Katsumata. Since this match was happening in BASARA that meant Katsumata’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet was not on the line (the rule was changed to being DDT exclusive a few years ago). The match came close to ending in a Double Knockout but they both got back up to continue fighting until Nakatsu won by using the V Slider. Nakatsu later said he was really grateful that Katsumata wrestled here today given that he is also booked for a DDT show in Osaka later this evening. He thinks it was fun to have two people who have worked so hard in the last ten years clash against each other.

BASARA “BASARA 312 ~UTAGE~” Results

July 24, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 312 ~UTAGE~”, 24/07/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Ali Najima defeated Takeru Inoue with a Crab Hold (9:10).
2. Daiki Shimomura & Kota Sekifuda defeated Lil’ Kraken & Yuki Kanzaki when Shimomura pinned Kraken with the Swanton Bomb (15:02).
3. FUMA defeated SAGAT with a Chickenwing Arm Lock (10:01).
4. Ryota Nakatsu defeated Thanomsak Toba with a Rear Naked Choke (7:58).
5. Isami Kodaka, Yuko Miyamoto & Shuji Ishikawa defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Miyamoto pinned Nakano with the Moonsault Press (16:22).

20 years of connective bonds and experience between Shuji Ishikawa, Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto was the difference maker in today’s BASARA main event. While the result focuses more on Yankee Two Kenju beating Aijin Tag, it was Ishikawa who got on the microphone afterwards to ask Takumi Tsukamoto thinks he really can climb the mountain and win the Union MAX Title? Tsukamoto said he can do it but Ishikawa warned that Tsukamoto will feel the pain to the fullest on 2nd August. Isami Kodaka then asked Aijin Tag if they really think they fought like champions today? Takato Nakano said the only reason why Kodaka is standing out right now is because Yuko Miyamoto is with him. Kodaka claimed that even though he is a BASARA wrestler, on 2nd August he will be wrestling like an outsider with Miyamoto.

Ryota Nakatsu called his match with Thanomsak Toba a warm up for the Shunma Katsumata bout on 2nd August. With the Korakuen Hall show coming up, Nakatsu spoke to media after the show and talked about last summer’s BASARA show at Korakuen. That was when BASARA management went through a change and while they were worried about the state of the company, they ended up drawing their largest crowd in history. This year Nakatsu thinks his hunger for success has diminished a little and the company still isn’t stable yet but everyone there is giving it their all. He won’t know how the Korakuen show will go until he sees the results of everyone’s hard work.

Sweet Secret, Mune’s ACL Injury, Super Japan Sends Off Shinjuku FACE

July 7, 2026

DDT “ASAKUSA ROX NAKAMISE FIGHTING 2026”, 08/07/2026
Tokyo Asakusa ROX 3G Super Multi Court

0. Dark Match – Nariagari Showcase: Tawaramachi Kid Jr., Super Nikuyaki Machine & Ariji Akinori Vs Benio, Tataiki Torinomi & TAKUYA
1. Shunma Katsumata & Viento Levante Vs Akito & Hinata Kasai
2. Yuya Koroku, Daichi Sato & MBM Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga, Rukiya & Masami Inahata
3. Sanshiro Takagi & Yukio Naya Vs Jun Akiyama & Junta Miyawaki
4. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) & Kazuma Sumi Vs Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Yoshihiko
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Ryota Nakatsu & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Takeshi Masada, To-y & Yuki Ishida

The wrestlers from Nariagari have been chosen for the dark match. I recognize a few of those names from previous appearances. Couldn’t tell you what they’ve accomplished since then though.

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

1. Momo Sato Debut Match: Uta Takami & Ren Konatsu Vs Shion Kanzaki & Momo Sato
2. Shin Sakura Katsushika Hirota, HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida Vs Raku, Pom Harajuku & Chika Nanase
3. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs MIRAI & Toga
4. Aja Kong Vs Arisu Endo
5. Yuki Kamifuku, Kumadori & Sakura Hattori Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Yumehito Imanari & Mahiro Kiryu
6. Mizuki Vs Sweet Secret
7. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Wakana Uehara
8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

We have a mystery on our hands. Mizuki is taking on an unknown opponent who is only being advertised as “Sweet Secret“. If that name by itself is a clue then it’s the only one we’ve got so far.

One of the undercard tag matches is following up on a few things from earlier this year. MIRAI & Toga are teaming up again for a match against Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed. That means it’s another meeting between MIRAI and Haru Kazashiro after their really good singles match last month.

The debut of Momo Sato sees her getting thrown into the ring with the three other shortest term wrestlers in Tokyo Joshi Pro at the moment.

BASARA “BASARA 312 ~UTAGE~”, 24/07/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Takeru Inoue Vs Ali Najima
2. FUMA Vs SAGAT
3. Ryota Nakatsu Vs Thanomsak Toba
4. Daiki Shimomura & Kota Sekifuda Vs Lil’ Kraken & Yuki Kanzaki
5. Isami Kodaka, Yuko Miyamoto & Shuji Ishikawa Vs Takumi Tsukamoto, Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino

This is the go-home show before BASARA heads back to Korakuen Hall next month. Champions and challengers all mixing it up with each other is the name of the game in the main event. Shuji Ishikawa is teaming with Yankee Two Kenju given all of their history together while Takumi Tsukamoto is joining up with Aijin Tag.

GANBARE☆PRO “BAAHUBALI 2026”, 25/07/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. YuuRI Vs Echika Miyabi
2. Toyama Army Vs Anti-Toyama Army: Ken Ohka, Akira Shoji, Shinichiro Tominaga & Leon Vs Yumehito Imanari, Sentaro Motoshima, Moeka Haruhi & Rydeen Hagane
3. Takuya Wada Vs Yuya Susumu
4. Tyson Maeguchi Vs Shuichiro Katsumura
5. Mizuki Watase, Shota Kawakami & X Vs Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao

The 6-Man Tag Match was supposed to have Munetatsu Nakamura in it but unfortunately he injured his right knee at the Ganbare☆Pro show over the weekend. He has since been diagnosed with a ruptured ACL and will be out of action for the time being.

A sudden civil war over the Toyama region is now turning into a little inter-promotional match with PURE-J. After the last GanPro show Ken Ohka declined to include Yumehito Imanari into his Toyama based group of wrestlers so Imanari went and formed his own Anti-Toyama team with Sentaro Motoshima & Moeka Haruhi both agreeing to join him. Rydeen Hagane from PURE-J fills out his group. Ohka has bolstered up his forces by bringing in Akira Shoji & Shinichiro Tominaga as well as PURE-J’s Leon.

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

1. YuuRI Vs Takumi Iroha
2. Munetatsu Nakamura Vs Chris Brookes
3. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi (c) Vs Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu
4. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie

Pray for Mizuki Watase to come out of the match in one piece. The last time Shigehiro Irie fought for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title he lost to Imanari but still beat him up bad enough that he was left in rough shape for weeks afterward. Now Watase wants to defend the title against his good friend even though Irie is kind of feeling like he’s past his peak. Maybe for Watase’s physical sake let’s hope that is the case.

Shuichiro Katsumura once held the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles with Takuya Wada. Now he is trying to win them off him. Yuya Susumu is getting his first crack at winning a GanPro championship and maybe he can get it if Tyson Maeguchi is feeling a little punch drunk by the time the match takes place.

No word yet on if Nakamura’s match with Chris Brookes will be cancelled because of his knee injury. There is currently no timeframe for his return.

It’s time again for YuuRI to try and take down one of her idols. Takumi Iroha is her next big name joshi opponent.

SUPER JAPAN “SHINJUKU FACE COUNTDOWN SERIES ~GOODBYE SHINJUKU FACE~”, 28/09/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs Satoshi Kojima

Previously DDT had this date booked but it is now going to be a Super Japan show. It will be a special one because it is happening two days before Shinjuku FACE closes down for good. Headlining this important show will be a battle pitting Super Japan against New Japan. Where else could Yuji Nagata against Satoshi Kojima ever be put together?!?

BASARA 310 And 311 Results

July 6, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 310 ~OJI NI KITSUNE 30~”, 05/07/2026
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR

1. Count Falls Ironman Match: Tsutomu Oosugi (23) defeated FUMA (21) (6:00).
*Oosugi-gun 2 – 0 Senga-gun.
2. Horror! Jusenkyo Tag Match: Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura defeated Banana Senga & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi when Shimomura pinned Hiroshi with the Samson Clutch (6:25).
*Oosugi-gun 4 – 0 Senga-gun.
3. Loser Loses Gilberto Style de Comple Floss Match: Daichi Kazato defeated Takato Nakano when Nakano let go of the Gilberto (6:47).
*Oosugi-gun 4 – 2 Senga-gun.
4. Old Skills Match: Takumi Tsukamoto & Ryota Nakatsu defeated Masato Kamino & Lil’ Kraken when Nakatsu pinned Kraken with a Jackknife Pin (9:21).
*Oosugi-gun 4 – 4 Senga-gun.
5. Serious Single Match: Tsutomu Oosugi (SAGAT) Vs Banana Senga (Takeru Inoue) ended in a No Contest (6:06).
*Oosugi-gun 4 – 4 Senga-gun.
6. ~Bonus Track~ 14-Man Tag Match: Tsutomu Oosugi, Isami Kodaka, Daiki Shimomura, Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino, Lil’ Kraken & SAGAT defeated Banana Senga, FUMA, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Daichi Kazato, Takumi Tsukamoto, Ryota Nakatsu & Takeru Inoue when Kamino pinned Inoue after a Double Running Brainbuster (5:02).
*Oosugi-gun 6 – 4 Senga-gun.

Oosugi-gun: Tsutomu Oosugi, Isami Kodaka, Daiki Shimomura, Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino, Lil’ Kraken and SAGAT

Senga-gun: Banana Senga, FUMA, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Daichi Kazato, Takumi Tsukamoto, Ryota Nakatsu and Takeru Inoue

The Speed Of Sounds were made team captains for the latest BASARA team challenge show. Two points were given to the winning team in every match and each bout had a wacky gimmick attached to it. The score was tied going into the main event so it all came down to a very serious singles match between Tsutomu Oosugi and Banana Senga, except it was really SAGAT and Takeru Inoue pretending to be SOS. The match fell apart when everyone interfered so the new decider was a 14-Man Tag Match that was won by Oosugi’s team.

There is still a month to go until Takumi Tsukamoto challenges Shuji Ishiakwa for the Union MAX Title. To help get him prepared Tsukamoto went through a gauntlet of seven mini matches with each bout scheduled for three minutes. Due to the short amount of time, Tsukamoto drew with most of his opponents but he was able to score two wins in there. The one blot on his record came from Daiki Shimomura pinning him with a Hurricanrana he wasn’t expecting.

SOS were back on the same page for the second show of the day. There were no hard feelings between them and they were able to win their tag match.

More spotlight on The 37KAMIINA versus Strange Love Connection to build up the KO-D Openweight Title match at Sumo Hall.

So Yuki Ishida is trying to tell anyone who will listen to him that he wants to change. A slightly different hairstyle didn’t work for him or grab much attention so now he thinks challenging for the DDT Extreme Title is the answer he’s looking for. Hideki Okatani didn’t think he is a worthy challenger until Ishida offered to put his hair on the line as well. Since he is a former sumo wrestler and the treatment of their hair is serious business, Okatani now has something of value he wants to take from Ishida.

When I saw that Minoru Suzuki & Jun Akiyama are teaming up together I began to worry for their opponents. Then I saw the opponents are Danshoku Dieno & Sanshiro Takagi so I now worry for everyone in general.

Tsukamoto’s Trial, Momo Sato’s Debut, Baka Gaijin In Nagoya

July 1, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 310 ~OJI NI KITSUNE 30~”, 05/07/2026
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR

1. Oosugi Army Vs Senga Army: X Vs X

There is a BASARA doubleshot taking place this Sunday but the first show from it is a bit of a mystery. It is only being advertised as a team challenge between the two wrestlers from Speed Of Sounds. One side will be captained by Tsutomu Oosugi while the other is captained by Banana Senga. Both team lineups are currently a mystery but you might be able to figure out who will be there based on the below card for Show #2.

BASARA “BASARA 311 ~OJI NI KITSUNE 31~”, 05/07/2026
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR

1. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Baliyan Akki
2. Takato Nakano Vs Takeru Inoue
3. Masato Kamino & Seiya Morohashi Vs Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga
4. 7 Match Trial Series: Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Ryota Nakatsu, Isami Kodaka, FUMA, Daichi Kazato, SAGAT, Daiki Shimomura & Lil’ Kraken

In order for Takumi Tsukamoto prepare for his Union MAX Title shot, he will be running through a gauntlet of seven wrestlers in a series of speedy matches. Each match only has a 3 minute time limit but Tsukamoto’s next opponent will enter the ring as soon as the previous match had ended. So there won’t be much time for Tsukamoto to catch his breath in between opponents. This isn’t happening at one of the All You Can Drink shows either so I don’t think he can get a hydration break either.

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

1. Momo Sato Debut Match: Momo Sato Vs X
2. Shin Sakura Katsushika Hirota, HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida Vs Raku, Pom Harajuku & Chika Nanase
3. Aja Kong Vs Arisu Endo
4. Yuki Kamifuku, Kumadori & Sakura Hattori Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Yumehito Imanari & Mahiro Kiryu
5. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Wakana Uehara
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

With Yuki Kamifuku planning to retire at the end of the year, she has been promised a retirement road of matches to remember. First up is an absolutely unusual looking trios match featuring people Kamifuku would consider friends, mentors and possibly people she might find handsome. She is friends with Kumadori and Mahiro Kiryu, looks up to Sanshiro Takagi as a father figure and thinks Yumehito Imanari is good looking. She also thinks Sakura Hattori could do with meeting some new people to keep her company.

The newest idol to make her pro debut with Tokyo Joshi Pro is the Harajuku LAND idol Momo Sato. She was born in Kanagawa on 5th January, 2011 and stands 157cm tall. She already wrestled in TJPW back in March as part of the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title Battle Royal when Sanshiro Takagi scouted her. She was discovered because her brother Daichi Sato already wrestles in DDT and she became interested in following his footsteps. She intends to be a full time member of TJPW although there will be some shows missed because of her idol duties as well as her school studies.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 32: SO GLAD FOR THE MADNESS”, 19/07/2026
Nagoya Sportiva Arena

1. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Yuta Oya Vs Mr. Bueno & Mr. Malo

The next Baka Gaijin + Friends show will be in a new location for them, the Sportiva Arena in Nagoya. Welcoming them will by Yuta Oya, the blind wrestler who previously fought against Brookes back in February. Mr. Bueno & Mr. Malo will be their opponents after Bueno demanded he be told in advance what his next match will be. He believes he should know this stuff in advance because he is the BK-G Openweight Champion.

BASARA “BASARA 309 ~UTAGE~” Results

June 23, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 309 ~UTAGE~”, 23/06/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament Block A – Semi Final: Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Daiki Shimomura with a Spinning Cradle (5:44).
2. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament Block B – Semi Final: Lil’ Kraken defeated FUMA with the Period. (8:03).
3. Isami Kodaka, SAGAT & Minoru Fujita defeated Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Takeru Inoue when Kodaka pinned Kamino with a Modified Cradle (11:33).
4. 3 Vs 4 Vs 2 Tag Match: Ryota Nakatsu, Daichi Kazato & Seiya Morohashi defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga& Gouma Ryu and Shuji Ishikawa & Yasu Urano when Nakatsu submitted Ryu with an Armbar (7:25).
5. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament – Final: Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Lil’ Kraken with the Dragon Kicker (13:08).

Out of all the BASARA wrestlers who want to be the next challenger for Shuji Ishikawa, it is Takumi Tsukamoto who is the last one standing. He used Daiki Shimomura’s Hurricanrana against him to get a three count and advance to the final. Meeting him there was Lil’ Kraken who scored an upset win over FUMA earlier in the show. Tsukamoto beat him down and almost won by countout but Kraken made a last gasp comeback. That wasn’t enough though and Tsukamoto put him away with the Dragon Kicker to win the tournament. He will now face Ishikawa for the Union MAX Title on 2nd August. He heard that Ishikawa wants to remain champion for ten years Tsukamoto will not allow that to happen because that would mean Ishikawa is champion until he’s 60!

Isami Kodaka got to beat his recent string of bad results in BASARA although he was in a tired heap by the end of his match. He got to pin Masato Kamino by dodging his Lariat and then cradling him for the three count. Kamino was pissed off to lose to someone that was pretty much beaten, so much so that Takato Nakano joked he was lying dead on the mat. Kodaka said there is nothing wrong with collapsing after a match and there is nothing wrong about getting old either. After all, he thought Takato & Kamino were both young and here they are already turned 30. He then announced he invited a friend to come to the 2nd August show and the two of them would like to fight Aijin Tag for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles. Kodaka’s partner is going to be Yuko Miyamoto! Aijin Tag accepted the challenge because it will be their chance to surpass Yankee Two Kenju!

The 3 Way Trios match was changed into a irregular 3 Way Match because of Gouma Ryu. He decided to team with the other members of WizRYU instead of Shuji Ishikawa & Yasu Urano. So the match ended up being between one team of three wrestlers, one team of four wrestlers and one team of two wrestlers.

The 2nd August show will be at Korakuen Hall and Ryota Nakatsu revealed he is trying to put together a special match with an outside wrestler. BASARA have already decided which wrestler they want to appear but have not made an offer to them yet. But according to Nakatsu it is somebody he has not wrestled many singles matches against and he would consider this person to be a rival of his.
