BASARA “BASARA 278 ~KOO~” Results

May 14, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 278 ~KOO~”, 14/05/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino, Lil’ Kraken & Yasu Urano defeated Ryuichi Sekine, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Ayumu Honda & Reiya Igarashi when Nakano pinned Igarashi with the Takagari (14:01).
2. SAGAT & Minoru Fujita (w/ Takeru Inoue) Vs Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (w/ Gouma Ryu) ended in a Double Countout (3:07).
2a. Rematch – 3 Way Tag Match: SAGAT & Minoru Fujita and Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Gouma Ryu & Takeru Inoue when SAGAT pinned Ryu and Oosugi pinned Inoue (1:35).
2b. Rematch: Takeru Inoue defeated Gouma Ryu by Pinfall (1:53).
3. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 2 Block B: Daiki Shimomura defeated Tomoki Hatano with the Shimomura-Style Hurricanrana (11:55).
4. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 2 Block A: Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Daichi Kazato when Tsukamoto pinned Kazato with the Spinning Zudon (11:55).
5. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 2 Block B: Ryota Nakatsu defeated FUMA with the V Slider (12:50).
6. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 2 Block A: Keisuke Ishii defeated Isami Kodaka with the High Angle Double Arm DDT (13:38).

Four wrestler remain in the Chouten ~Itadaki~ tournament. The outsider Keisuke Ishii dumped BASARA’s own Isami Kodaka out of the bracket in the main event. It was their first singles match against each other in 12 years. Kodaka told Ishii afterwards they shouldn’t have to wait that long again to have a rematch. Ishii will face Takumi Tsukamoto in the semi final in what will be their first singles match together in around 15 years. Tsukamoto couldn’t beat Daichi Kazato with the regular Zudon so he had to use a spinning variant to get the three count. Daiki Shimomura is on a tournament run that could end up becoming his redemption for the year long suspension he went through. He eliminated Tomoki Hatano and will now face Ryota Nakatsu who he has beaten before in the 2021 tournament. Nakatsu defeated FUMA to reach the semi finals and is currently feeling in top form. He thinks Shimomura hasn’t got any heart and the two almost got into a fight backstage during the post-show interviews.

BASARA “BASARA 277 ~UTAGE~” Results

April 30, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 277 ~UTAGE~”, 30/04/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 1 Block A – 2 Count Fall Rules: Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Lil’ Kraken with the Brainbuster Slam (5:12).
2. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 1 Block B – 2 Count Fall Rules: Daiki Shimomura defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi with a Missile Dropkick (2:54).
3. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 1 Block A – 2 Count Fall Rules: Daichi Kazato defeated Takato Nakano with the Rocket Punch Press (3:41).
4. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 1 Block B – 2 Count Fall Rules: Tomoki Hatano Vs SAGAT ended in a Time Limit Draw (10:00).
4a. Overtime – 1 Count Fall Rules: Tomoki Hatano defeated SAGAT with a Cradle (1:11).
5. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 1 Block A – 2 Count Fall Rules: Isami Kodaka defeated Masato Kamino with a School Boy (3:48).
6. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 1 Block B – 2 Count Fall Rules: Ryota Nakatsu Vs Minoru Fujita ended in a Draw after a Double Pinfall from an Inside Cradle (5:03).
6a. Overtime – 1 Count Fall Rules: Ryota Nakatsu defeated Minoru Fujita with a Cradle (0:04).
7. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 1 Block A – 2 Count Fall Rules: Keisuke Ishii defeated Ryuichi Sekine with a Jackknife Power Bomb (6:43).
8. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 1 Block B – 2 Count Fall Rules: FUMA Vs Ayumu Honda ended in a Time Limit Draw (10:00).
8a. Overtime – 1 Count Fall Rules: FUMA defeated Ayumu Honda with an Arm Bar (1:21).

After taking a year off the Chouten ~Itadaki~ returned for 2025 with an opening round full of shortened matches to encourage wrestlers to go at a sprint pace. Every bout needed only a 2 Count Pinfall to win. There was also a 10 minute time limit with any draws going into sudden death overtime where just a 1 Count Pinfall won the match. FUMA and Tomoki Hatano both made it to Round 2 by reaching the time limit and winning in extra time. Ryota Nakatsu and Minoru Fujita ended up pinning each other from an Inside Cradle so even though it wasn’t a time limit draw, they still went into overtime rules. Fujita very quickly went for the Samson Clutch but Nakatsu blocked it and say on top for the 1 Count Pin. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi used a Judomaster doppelganger to distract Daiki Shimomura but his plan didn’t work in the end.

The 2nd Round matches on 14th May will be Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Daichi Kazato, Isami Kodaka Vs Keisuke Ishii, Daiki Shimomura Vs Tomoki Hatano and Ryota Nakatsu Vs FUMA. Nakatsu accused BASARA of coming up with a conspiracy to stop him from winning the tournament because he had to fight Minoru Fujita instead of KUBITO (who was too injured to compete). He would like to have a rematch with Fujita under normal rules though. Hatano admits he was saved by the rules today and he remembers fighting Shimomura before. Shimomura doesn’t though.

FUMA said he will treat his Round 2 match with Nakatsu as if it was for the Union MAX Title itself. Kodaka remembered when he was invading Ganbare☆Pro he thought he would cross paths with Ishii but never did. They did have a tag match against each other last year but that was long after Kodaka was an enemy of GanPro. Ishii has never beaten Kodaka in a singles match so he is only focused on that instead of any inter-promotional feud. Tsukamoto is confident he will beat Kazato without needing a gameplan because his previous wins against him were all done with feeling instead of strategy. Kazato normally thinks Tsukamoto is scary but for some reason he thinks he is looking cute lately so he isn’t worried about fighting him.

BASARA “BASARA 265 ~UTAGE~” Results

December 29, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 265 ~UTAGE~”, 29/12/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated SAGAT & Antonio Honda when Senga pinned SAGAT after the Shining Gongitsune Mistaken Attack from Honda (8:07).
2. Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Gouma Ryu with a Front High Kick (9:10).
3. Takato Nakano & Shota Kawakami defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Takeru Inoue when Nakano pinned Inoue with the Ken Katabami (13:15).
4. Isami Kodaka, Ryuichi Sekine & Daiki Shimomuta defeated FUMA, KUBITO & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi when Sekine submitted FUMA with the Let’s Combine (13:38).
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura (c) defeated Daichi Kazato & Lil’ Kraken when Abe pinned Kazato after the Period. Misfire from Kraken (13:32).
*V4 for Astronauts.
6. Union MAX Title: Masato Kamino defeated Minoru Fujita (c) with the Lariat (18:32).
*Minoru Fujita fails in V8. Masato Kamino becomes the 22nd Union MAX Champion!

BASARA in 2024 began with Minoru Fujita winning the Union MAX Title and ends with him losing it. Masato Kamino was able to kick out after taking the SAYONARA twice and hit the Lariat only for Fujita to kick out of that too. Kamino fought hard to hit another Lariat and when he finally did he was able to win the match with it. He wished Fujita to rest well for the great job he did as champion and thanked the fans for supporting BASARA this year. Ten years ago in Chiba he never imagined he would ever win a singles championship and now he is the man on top for a company. He will treat the belt like it is a baton Fujita passed over to him and will not give it up easily. He then nominated his tag partner Takato Nakano to be his first challenger.

Some miscommunication at the worst time cost Daichi Kazato & Lil’ Kraken their chance to become the new Iron Fist Tag Team Champions. Kazato was switching positions back and forth with Fuminori Abe and they paused in front of Lil’ Kraken. Abe was in front so Kraken charged in to use his finisher called the Period. Abe ducked the move and Kazato took the blow, causing both of them to fall back with Abe landing on top for the pinfall. At least there is no anger between Kazato & Kraken over what happened. Abe thinks Kazato has evolved as a wrestler while Takuya Nomura thinks he is brainwashing everyone. Astronauts also noticed there were some foreign fans in attendance today. Abe wonders what those fans think BASARA wrestling is like compared to what they will see in the Tokyo Dome next week?

The match between Sento Minzoku and Asian Kung-Fu Generation was heated from the get go and continued after the match ended. Both sides continued fighting after the finish and had to be kept apart.

There was also continued fighting between Takeru Inoue and Shota Kawakami after Match #3. Both are rookies who debuted this year and wanted to see who was better. They started trading Elbow Strikes after the match and Inoue then chased Kawakami away from ringside.

Takumi Tsukamoto purposely dressed up like an office worker to throw shade at Gouma Ryu. He said before their match that Ryu is only good for doing trials. Ryu disagreed and wanted to prove he can wrestle too. Then when Tsukamoto took a breather outside the ring during the match Ryu taunted him for running away from pro wrestling. Tsukamoto got back in to finish the match and ended up winning with a couple of Front High Kicks. Ryu kicked out of the first one at the one count but was beaten with the second kick.

BASARA “BASARA 263 ~HIEN~” Results

November 29, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 263 ~HIEN~”, 29/11/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Next Challenger For The Union MAX Title 1-Day Tournament – Round 1: Takato Nakano defeated Takumi Tsukamoto with the Takagari (6:47).
2. Next Challenger For The Union MAX Title 1-Day Tournament – Round 1: Masato Kamino defeated Isami Kodaka with the Lariat (7:43).
3. Next Challenger For The Union MAX Title 1-Day Tournament – Round 2: Ryota Nakatsu defeated Takato Nakano with the V Slider (5:15).
4. Next Challenger For The Union MAX Title 1-Day Tournament – Round 2: Masato Kamino defeated FUMA with a Cradle (10:18).
5. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Ikuto Hidaka & Itsuki Aoki defeated Ryuichi Sekine, Takeru Inoue & Fuminori Abe when Hidaka submitted Inoue with the Shawn Capture (15:17).
6. Next Challenger For The Union MAX Title 1-Day Tournament – Final: Masato Kamino defeated Ryota Nakatsu with the Lariat (17:16).

Masato Kamino is the last man standing afer winning three matches in the 1-Day Tournament. All of his opponents were former Union MAX Champions too. He beat Isami Kodaka clean in Round 1, survived FUMA’s Crossface Lock to roll him up for a pinfall in Round 2 and outlasted Ryota Nakatsu with a Lariat to the back of the head in the final. The tournament was Kamino’s idea in the first place and he received praise from Takato Nakano (who also beat a former champion in Takumi Tsukamoto before getting eliminated by Nakatsu) for winning it.

Kamino told the fans he wants to get his MAX Title shot at the last BASARA show of the year. Suddenly Minoru Fujita entered the room to everyone’s surprise because he was already wrestling in Shinjuku FACE today. He got in the ring in a hurry and told Kamino they will have the title match at 29th December, which is what Kamino wanted anyway. Fujita wants to end the year with a successful title defence so he can say 2024 was his year from start to finish. Kamino shared a toast with him to confirm the match rather than go through a contract signing ceremony.

Itsuki Aoki now has the distinction of being the first woman to wrestle in BASARA. Her Shawn Capture leader Ikuto Hidaka won their match by using, what else, the Shawn Capture for the submission victory.

BASARA “BASARA 262 ~OJI NI KITSUNE ’24~” Results

November 17, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 262 ~OJI NI KITSUNE ’24~”, 17/11/2024
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. FUMA defeated Takeru Inoue with a Stretch Muffler Hold (10:57).
2. 4 Way Match: Daiki Shimomura defeated Daichi Kazato, Yasu Urano and Judomaster when Shimomura pinned Kazato with a Forward Rolling Cradle (8:48).
3. Isami Kodaka defeated KUBITO with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (11:18).
4. Masahiro Takanashi defeated Ryuichi Sekine with La Magistral Cradle (11:17).
5. Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Lil’ Kraken defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT when Kamino pinned SAGAT with the Lariat (17:24).

After the main event Masato Kamino declared himself the next challenger for the Union MAX Title. However several other wrestlers came out and argued one by one that they should get the title shot instead. Rather than have a Battle Royal to determine the No.1 Contender, Kamino came up with the idea of doing a one day tournament on 29th November. Kamino, Ryota Nakatsu, Takato Nakano, Takumi Tsukamoto, Isami Kodaka and FUMA are the six wrestlers taking part. Lil’ Kraken also wanted to get involved but everyone else rejected him.

BASARA “TSUKAMOTO & NAKATSU ANNIVERSARY FESTIVAL!” Results

September 11, 2024

BASARA “TSUKAMOTO & NAKATSU ANNIVERSARY FESTIVAL! ~THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT~”, 11/09/2024
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Isami Kodaka & Ryuichi Sekine defeated FUMA & Takeru Inoue when Sekine submitted Inoue with the Let’s Combine (12:13).
2. Fuminori Abe defeated Judomaster with a Wakigatame (6:45).
3. 4 Way Tag Match: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated KUBITO & Daichi Kazato, SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken and Gouma Ryu & Yasu Urano when Senga pinned Ryu with a School Boy (12:11).
4. UWA World Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Kota Sekifuda & Kaji Tomato (c) when Nakano pinned Sekifuda with the Takagari (13:39).
*Kota Sekifuda & Kaji Tomato fails in V5. Aijin Tag becomes the 37th UWA World Tag Team Champions!
5. Hardcore Match: Yusaku Ito defeated Takumi Tsukamoto with a Stacked Chair Shots (15:56).
6. Ryota Nakatsu Vs Naoki Tanizaki ended in a Double Knockout (13:40).

The former Sparky wrestlers fought each other to a double knockout. In the final moments of the match Naoki Tanizaki did the Implant for a nearfall and Ryota Nakatsu came back with a Thrust Kick followed by a Northern Lights Bomb. Both men were down and out by that point with neither being able to answer the 10 count. They were able to have the energy to talk afterwards. Nakatsu’s been wrestling for ten years now and his time in Sparky made up a lot of that time. Whether it was in BASARA or Dove Pro, Tanizaki has been a huge part of his wrestling career. Tanizaki said he always considered Nakatsu as a rival. He also promoted a Dove Pro show happening on 12th October that Nakatsu is also booked for. They will settle their match on another day but tonight they’re going to have a good drink together!

The show also celebrated Takumi Tsukamoto’s 15th anniversary in wrestling. He had a Hardcore Match against Yusaku Ito that featured steel cans and chairs as the main weapons. They kept doing moves to each other onto a pile of chairs but neither could win the match that way. So Ito decided to stack up on chairs and swing them at Tsukamoto for a powerful chairshot that finally put him down for the three count. Tsukamoto later said he lost to a thug and wants to have a rematch with that thug for his 20th anniversary. He also had kinder words to say about Ito, like calling him his little brother.

The UWA World Tag Team Titles have come to BASARA and now belong to Aijin Tag! A Frog Splash from Kota Sekifuda proved to be a big mistake when Takato Nakano blocked it with his knees. Nakano & Masato Kamino then upped the double team moves on him so Nakano could pin Sekifuda with the Takagari. The title change comes right before Kaji Tomato runs his own self produced show later this month. That has to sting at least a little bit. Isami Kodaka & Ryuichi Sekine announced after the show they want to challenge Aijin Tag for the belts on 24th September.

The next International Princess Title defence is a rematch three years in the making. Yuki Arai’s reign with the title has inspired Moka Miyamoto to challenge her and be next in line to carry the championship. They’ve been tag partners before but as opponents Arai has been on the winning side against Miyamoto in almost all of their matches together.

The full card for “WRESTLE PRINCESS V” is here. Rika Tatsumi, Yuki Aino & Shino Suzuku are being gathered together to fight the trio of monsters (if you think Pom Harajuku counts as a monster). The happy couple Ram Kaichow and Raku must now face each other one on one. At least Kaichow is happy she now gets to have Raku all to herself in the ring. Kakeru Sekiguchi returns to Tokyo Joshi Pro for her second appearance in the promotion. Also Runa Okubo and Haru Kazashiro face each other in a singles match for the first time in almost a year.

DDT “DRAMATIC INFINITY 2024 ~ 3 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 29/09/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Universal Title: Yuki Iino (c) Vs Yukio Naya
2. DDT Extreme Title IPPON Lighttube Tag Team Death Match: Shunma Katsumata (c) & Kazuma Sumi Vs Akito & Yuni
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Kaisei Takeshi Vs Chris Brookes, Takeshi Masada & Masahiro Takanashi

It’s the return of a classic match stipulation. Shunma Katsumata is quite into death matches so Akito decided to bring back the IPPON Lighttube Death Match for him. However this time it is going to be done as a tag team match with Kazuma Sumi as Katsumata’s partner and Yuni as Akito’s teammate. There will be only one lighttube and whoever breaks it will lose. Since the DDT Extreme Title is on the line that means it is a successful defence if Katsumata’s team wins. But if Akito’s team wins then Akito will become the new champion. The stipulation works that way even if the result comes down to Sumi and/or Yuni being involved in the finish.

Yuki Iino is the new Universal Champion after he successfully cashed in his title shot on MAO yesterday. He very quickly set up a defence against Yukio Naya in order to prove who is the best heavyweight in DDT. Their singles match last month ended in a double knockout draw.
