6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) defeated MAO, KANON & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO) when Masada pinned Maligno with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (22:49).
*V3 for paleyouth.

A big mental block was placed on Yuya Koroku by Strange Love Connection before the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match began. KIMIHIRO taunted Koroku with a rap and then encouraged him to respond in kind. Koroku couldn’t do it though and was left shaken by this mental block. KIMIHIRO tried to do it again but Takeshi Masada got him to shut up and paleyouth attacked SLC to start the match. The champions retained the belts when Masada pinned Viento Maligno to win. KIMIHIRO then handed over the microphone to Koroku afterwards to make a victory speech. Masada told Koroku the meaning of this was significant so he can’t just do a regular speech. Koroku agreed and was able to give everyone a “Yuya Rap” instead.

The semi-main event was sponsored by Sapporo Studio Five, a photography studio so the match had a special rule where pinfalls and submissions only counted if the poses looked highly artistic. Saki Akai often works with the studio so she was involved in the match as a special guest commentator speaking over a live microphone at ringside. Despite being retired for two and a half years, she was drawn to get back into the ring gradually rediscovered her wrestling abilities. She blocked Antonio Honda’s Gongitsune attack and redirected it towards Chris Brookes. That cause Brookes to attack Akai in retaliation but she avoided the Praying Mantis Bomb and even gave Brookes the Quetzalcoatl! To-y went on to beat Honda and his prize was a free photoshoot at Sapporo Studio Five the next time he visits the area. Both Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata were jealous and wanted the prize for themselves. To-y wouldn’t give it to them but he did reveal that DDT’s next shows in Sapporo are on 11th and 12th October.

Match #2 was turned into a Reverse Lumberjack match, or a Jackberlum match if you will. The wrestlers had to start fighting outside the ring and whenever there are at least two of them in the ring, the referee would start a 5 Count and disqualify whoever is still in the ring when he reaches five. A ref bump prevented Kazuki Hirata from winning the match while he and Akito were in the ring. Danshoku Dieno grabbed Hirata from the ring apron and gave him the Lip Lock. Akito then stumbled into Hirata in the middle of the ring to inadvertedly give him the Lip Lock too, knocking both of them out. Yukinori Matsui then counted out Akito and Hirata while Dieno stood out on the ring apron celebrating his victory.

The main event of the next D GENERATIONS show is getting a little experimental. Takeshi Masada is in charge of putting the match together and he decided to take on To-y in a match where throwing moves are prohibited. So in theory would that mean his finisher and To-y’s finisher aren’t allowed and we’re getting a match full of kicks against chops instead?

This will be Masami Inahata’s first appearance on a D GENERATIONS show.

Shinjuku FACE

After starting off his journey fighting against Antonio Honda, the next stage of DDT Junta Miyawaki must experience one on one is against Kazuki Hirata. His ultimate destination is going to be Danshoku Dieno, isn’t it?


DDT “SENDAI NEW LEGEND 2026 ~HARAKO MESHI~” Results

March 15, 2026

DDT “SENDAI NEW LEGEND 2026 ~HARAKO MESHI~”, 15/03/2026
Miyagi Yume Messe
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Hinata Kasai with the Scorpion Death Lock (7:48).
2. Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi defeated Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda when Dieno pinned Hirata with the Gay-do Clutch (0:09).
2a. Rematch: Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi defeated Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda when Dieno pinned Honda with the Gay-do Clutch (10:38).
3. Jun Akiyama, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida defeated Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato when Ishida pinned Masada with the Buchikamashi (10:27).
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion defeated Kazuma Sumi, Yukio Naya & Viento Maligno when Sasaki submitted Sumi with the Crossface Lock (13:41).
5. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA defeated Akito & Junta Miyawaki when HARASHIMA pinned Miyawaki with the Somato (12:02).
6. The 37KAMIINA Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: Yuki Ueno & To-y defeated MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) when Ueno pinned KANON with a Cradle (21:31).

The show was meant to be a homecoming of sorts for MAO because he is an ambassador for Osaki City. The show was also in the same venue where MAO accidentally broke the room sprinkler with a Quebrada last year. Well, this time MAO was able to do the move without damaging anything but the spotlight was instead on Yuki Ueno and KANON for their final prelim match before “JUDGEMENT 2026” next week. There was some interference from both Strange Love Connection and The 37KAMIINA during the match. After that, KANON tried his best to avoid taking the WR but Ueno switched over to a roll up move to cradle him for the three count. Ueno can tell that KANON is incredibly strong but he told the challenger he will need to bare everything from the depths of his heart to have a chance at winning the KO-D Openweight Title.

If today repeats itself, the FANTÔMES DRAMATIC team of Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA will have a KO-D Tag Team Titles shot to look forward to in their future. However they are not taking Junta Miyawaki lightly. He almost pinned HARASHIMA with the Sunshine Clutch in today’s match but HARASHIMA kicked out just in time and was able to pin him with the Somato. When the No. 1 Contenders match happens on 22nd March, Fandora won’t just have the Sunshine Clutch to worry about but also the Aoki Clutch from Shinya Aoki too. Miyawaki described taking the Somato was like feeling the weight and power of DDT’s history in one move. He is confident though that he and Aoki will show everyone a bright future.

Once again Daisuke Sasaki has countered Kazuma Sumi’s School Boy and turned it into a victorious move, this time the Crossface Lock. He wanted to send his message loud and clear this time by bringing in a chair to attack Sumi with but this time Sumi fought him off with a Low Blow. Sumi then said even though he lost all of his warm up matches, he just needs to beat Sasaki once at Korakuen Hall next week to become the new DDT Universal Champion! Sasaki now worries that the Low Blow may have caused some long term damage. He’s supposed to be going to America soon where there are beautiful women waiting for him everywhere and suddenly his balls are gone!

paleyouth have now suffered their first setback after Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida beat them with some help from Jun Akiyama. Yoshimura was focused on fighting Daichi Sato in particular while Ishida & Akiyama paired off against Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku. The Harimao side got the victory and Akiyama advised it is up to them to give their group a boost while Kazusada Higuchi is out of action.

Makoto Oishi was tricked into sitting on the turnbuckle with the back of his costume pulled down at the end of Match #2. He stayed there until Jun Akiyama entered the ring for his match, slapped him on the rear and ordered him to get out.


DDT “ICHIKABACHIKA 2026” Results

3. Kazuma Sumi, Naomi Yoshimura, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida defeated Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion when Yoshimura pinned Ilusion with the Harai-goshi (10:12).
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shishamo Power, Unagi Mask & Gota Ihashi defeated Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Shishamo pinned Matsunaga with the Fisher’s Buster (9:33).
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine when KANON pinned Dieno with the Lariat (18:47).
*V4 for STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION.
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato defeated Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi (c) when Masada pinned Takechi with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (18:25).
*Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi fail in V3. paleyouth become the 60th KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions!

The new generation is on a roll, paleyouth have already become champions and they’ve done it at Kaisei Takechi’s expense! Takechi & The 37KAMIINA almost wiped out the challengers completely with a triple Topé Con Hilo. They then targeted Takeshi Masada by having Takechi & To-y Double Choke Slam him followed by Yuki Ueno landing the Frog Splash. However Yuya Koroku went ahead and took out Ueno & To-y, then Daichi Sato helped Masada bring down Takechi. Masada then got to beat Takechi for the first time by giving him the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki to win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles!

After the match, Masada praised Takechi for growing so much and said whenever they fight each other they click so well. When the former champions made their exit, paleyouth quickly found out who their first challengers were going to be. Harimao walked out and Naomi Yoshimura said he, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida wanted a title shot. Masada called Harimao a perfect match for paleyouth and he accepts the challenge for 22nd March at DDT’s 28th Anniversary show. Backstage Masada was happy with the recent turn of events. paleyouth was only made official a few days ago and they already won a championship and he got to avenge his previous losses to Takechi too. Meanwhile Takechi said he was frustrated over losing a second match in a row and he actually feels a little insulted by Masada’s praise for him. Ueno reminded him of his goal to wrestle in King Of DDT and also at Sumo Hall later this year. He is sure Takechi will get there.

Any hopes that Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine had of CyberAgent exploiting their likenesses for trading cards and gacha games have gone out the window after the pair failed to win the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Instead it is Strange Love Connection that are currently in the better position to become the faces of DDT. KANON in particular got the brunt of the lewd attacks from the followers yet he figured out how to turn the tide against them. He pulled down his own costume to fight in his underwear and resist Dieno’s Raw Danshoku Claw before taking him down with the Lariat for the victory. KANON told everyone afterwards he has exposed everything about himself and has nothing left to show because he wants to become the new icon of DDT. Today he has beaten two DDT icons so now he must beat the biggest icon Ueno to become the new KO-D Openweight Champion!

The return of the Yamada Suisan pro wrestlers sets up DDT’s annual sponsored matches with the seafood company for this year. Shishamo Power & Unagi Mask teamed up with Gota Ihashi to win their match then had an announcement to make afterward. Ihashi works for the Tsukiji branch of Yamada Suisan and he met a woman there who wants to become a pro wrestler. A masked woman named Unagi Mask Woman entered the ring and did the splits to pose for everyone. However her big moment was interrupted by Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda attacking Ihashi until Super Unagi Mask came to the rescue. Honda challanged the seafood wrestlers to a match and told them that Aja Kong will be teaming with FANTÔMES DRAMATIC! The president of Yamada Suisan then had a shocking confession to make. The three masked wrestlers are all siblings who were seperated at birth! The “Unagi Brothers” must now join forces to face Kong & FANTÔMES DRAMATIC on 19th April. Ihashi complained about being left out so he was offered a chance to team with Shishamo Power on the same show.

After spending such a long time away from DDT, the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title has come back home. At least for now. Antonio Honda caused a scene after the Tokyo Joshi Pro dark match by attacking everyone with Gongitsune and winning the belt off of Rika Tatsumi. Then later in the show Honda was told by Hisaya Imabayashi that he will face YOH on 15th April. Honda said he will look forward to defending the Iron Man Title against him but then he was suddenly blindsided by Imabayashi! The GM knocked out Honda with the title and pinned him to become the champion, explaining afterward that he cannot risk losing a DDT championship to a New Japan wrestler. Imabayashi was then approached by Akito at the end of the show because a special match was being booked for 22nd March. Imabayashi must defend the title in a 1 Vs 6 Handicap Match and one of his opponents will be Minoru Suzuki! Imabayashi complained especially since Akito was making decisions involving the DDT GM without being a GM himself. Akito told him that company directors are above company general managers. Sanshiro Takagi then tried to ambush Imabayashi to win the title but Akito broke the pin and allowed Imabayashi to escape with the belt.

The Iron Man Title changes today created a bit of a problem for the upcoming schedule. The belt is meant to be on the line in a Battle Royal at TJPW’s Sumo Hall show at the end of the month. It turns out that is still going to happen, which means if Imabayashi somehow survives the DDT Anniversary show still as champion he will then get to defend the belt at Sumo Hall on a TJPW show! When Imabayashi learned about that scenario being possible, he became motivated to hold onto the title as best as he can until 29th March.

A No. 1 Contenders match for the KO-D Tag Titles was later announced for 22nd March. Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA will face Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki. The winners will face MAO & KANON for the tag titles on 5th April.

A new championship has been created exclusively for a series of sponsored shows DDT will run in conjunction with the Matsui Outlet Park later this year. The first MOP Tag Team Champions will be crowned on 28th March. After that there are two other DDT x MOP shows scheduled for April where presumably a title defence or two can take place there.


DDT “IKETA ZE! IMAIKE 2026” Results

March 7, 2026

DDT “IKETA ZE! IMAIKE 2026”, 07/03/2026
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Junta Miyawaki defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with the Sunshine Clutch (8:02).
2. 3 Way Match: Yuki Ishida defeated Danshoku Dieno and Kazuki Hirata when Ishida pinned Hirata with the Komatasukui Suplex (11:13).
3. Jun Akiyama & Naomi Yoshimura defeated Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul when Yoshimura pinned Paul with the Harai-goshi (8:56).
4. STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION Vs FANTÔMES DRAMATIC!: MAO, KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai when Maligno pinned Kasai with the Driver Maligno (13:03).
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato defeated Yuki Ueno, To-y & Rukiya when Masada pinned Rukiya with the Manburi (13:33).
6. Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & Ilusion defeated Kazuma Sumi & Akito when Sasaki pinned Sumi with a School Boy Counter (18:16).

For the second time in a row Daisuke Sasaki has found a way to counter Kazuma Sumi’s School Boy, turning victory into defeat for his upcoming challenger. His message to Sumi is so clear that it should be on the cover of the next Shukan Puroresu magazine: School Boys don’t work against him! Sasaki wants the fans to look at Sumi so they will see there are no hopes or dreams in this world. Sumi wants to prove Sasaki wrong because hopes and dreams are why he is in this ring soon to fight for the DDT Universal Title.

The New Generation Army got to beat two thirds of the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions, although it was the person who declined to join his classmates Rukiya that got pinned. After the match Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato revealed the official name of their unit. They are now called paleyouth. Masada said they will now be dyeing the DDT ring in any colour they want.

The 37KAMIINA are licking their wounds after losing to paleyouth today. To-y wanted to make it known that it is not because he is getting tired from doing several title matches all close together. He gets excited to be in championship matches and wants to be in them even more. Meanwhile Yuki Ueno brought up that Kaisei Takechi has been itching to win his next match after he lost to Ueno at Korakuen Hall two weeks ago. It turns out he really does not like losing. Ueno also gave advice to Rukiya, telling him it is now up to him to prove the path he took is the right one.

The newcomer Viento Maligno gave his first communication to DDT fans today, whispering his story to KIMIHIRO for him to tell everyone. Accordng to KIMIHIRO, Maligno felt evil winds sweep over him in the country where he lived but the winds here feel very gentle. That’s why he loves Japan and the Japanese people.


DDT “NARAHA TOWN COME ON!!” Results

March 1, 2026

DDT “NARAHA TOWN IMMIGRATION AMBASSADOR (UNOFFICIAL) TO-Y THANKSGIVING SEASON 3 – NARAHA TOWN COME ON!!”, 01/03/2026
Fukushima Naraha Sky Arena
??? Fans – Unannounced

2. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul defeated Takeshi Masada, Daichi Sato & Hinata Kasai when Okatani pinned Kazai with the Skewer-Style Claymore (13:05).
3. 3 Way Match: Danshoku Dieno defeated Kazuki Hirata and Gorgeous Matsuno when Dieno pinned Hirata with the Gaydo Clutch (0:08).
3a. Rematch: Gorgeous Matsuno defeated Danshoku Dieno and Kazuki Hirata when Matsuno pinned Hirata with a School Boy (9:08).
4. Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku defeated Yukio Naya & Junta Miyawaki when Koroku pinned Naya with a Crucifix Pin (10:01).
5. MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Kazuma Sumi & Yuki Ishida when KANON pinned Ishida with the Lariat (13:37).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Akito defeated Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda when To-y pinned Honda with the Kojima Impact (22:47).

Hideki Okatani may have spoiled To-y’s moment yesterday but today there was no fear of that happening again. To-y had the rest of The 37KAMIINA around for the main event including Shunma Katsumata as a ringside second (and Yuzutaro the mascot was there too). Katsumata prevented Chris Brookes from using a chair and even hit a dive out of the ring onto FANTÔMES DRAMATIC. With that taken care of, To-y was able to win the match in front of the Naraha crowd. He told the fans they can get back up again and again because they are a town full of energy. Katsumata then announced that today was his last day of being an unofficial immigration ambassador for Naraha Town and he regrets only wrestling here once. To-y felt sorry for him and decided he will not pay off his debt to the town because that would mean he’ll still have to bring DDT back here every year.

MAO was back in Japan after he and Yoshihiko went to wrestle in England a few days earlier. After wrestling Kazuma Sumi today he gave him some advice for his DDT Universal Title match later this month. Sumi has worked hard to earn his D GENERATIONS CUP success and MAO is proud to see how much he has grown. He also told Sumi that Daisuke Sasaki is secretly getting worked up over his upcoming tour of America so that is a weakness Sumi should exploit!

Yuni suffered a left elbow injury during yesterday’s show in Kanagawa and wasn’t able to wrestle. Ilusion took his place in the opening match against Viento Maligno while MJ Paul made up the numbers for DAMNATION T.A in Match #2. Yuni still performed a song with NωA Jr. at the start of the show.


DDT “NEPPA OVER FLOWERS 5 ~THE ONLY SAUNA IN THE WORLD~” Results

February 14, 2026

DDT “NEPPA OVER FLOWERS 5 ~THE ONLY SAUNA IN THE WORLD~”, 14/02/2026
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Young Boy Akito Nishigaki Shinjuku FACE Debut Match: Rukiya Vs Young Boy Akito Nishigaki ended in a Time Limit Draw (5:00).
1a. Overtime: Rukiya defeated Young Boy Akito Nishigaki with a Cradle (1:59).
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shin KONOSUKE TAKESHITA, Shunma KatsuMAO & Takeshi Masada defeated Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Koju Takeda when TAKESHITA pinned Hirata with the Wagamama (15:33).
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Brahman Shu, Brahman Kei & Brahman Sasaki defeated Yuya Koroku, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi when Sasaki pinned Yuni after the Gotai Fumanzoku (12:23).
4. SeaSaunaShack Presents: Shinya Aoki defeated Hinata Kasai with the Aoki Clutch (10:35).
5. Ueno Nordic Presents Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno defeated Pokotan (w/ Chris Bathooks, Naya Tonttu & Sauna Stones・Den) with the Frog Splash (15:03).
6. Naniwa Health Land Utopia Presents Special Single Match: Minoru Suzuki defeated To-y with the Gotch-Style Piledriver (14:51).
7. Bonus Track Exhibition Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Shunma Katsumata ended in a Time Limit Draw (3:00).

A surprise attack from To-y led to him and Minoru Suzuki brawling around ringside during the main event. Suzuki got the advantage by Heel Hooking To-y over near the entrances. To-y tried fighting back with Chops as well as the Kojima Wonderland. But Suzuki got back in control, fired himself up in a To-y like manner and won with the Gotch-Style Piledriver. After the match Suzuki had something to say to To-y and the rest of The 37KAMIINA. He likes saunas too! When Suzuki left the ring, To-y admitted to everyone he was scared of fighting him but also discovered it was exciting too. He wants to go crazy but couldn’t because something else crazy was about to happen in the surprise bonus main event!

Shunma Katsumata then got into the ring. He had spent the entire show playing multiple roles from event producer to ring announcer. Now after eight months since his last match, he was going to wrestle again! The surprise match was a three minute exhibition between Katsumata and Yuki Ueno. It ended in a tie and Katsumata told everyone today has been the most tiring day of his life. However he is now in great condition and will have his official return match from injury on 22nd March!

Ueno earlier found himself in what was pretty much a 1 Vs 4 match. His opponent was Pokotan but the mascot was accompanied with three DDT wrestlers taking up their own sauna gimmicks: Chris Bathooks (Chris Brookes), Naya Tonttu (Yukio Naya) & Sauna Stones・Den (Yuki Ishida). Pokotan lost its head during the match and one of the other wrestlers would put it on to take its place in the match. Ueno took everyone’s moves until the original Pokotan got its head back. Ueno wiped out the others with a Plancha and then hit a Frog Splash onto Pokotan while using its head for extra impact to get the win.

Hinata Kasai got to go ten minutes with Shinya Aoki. Whether or not that can be seen as valuable experience or an excuse to get stretched apart is for him to figure out. While Kasai got to get some offence in, Aoki was firmly in control for much of the match and he got Kasai with the Aoki Clutch to get the three count. Aoki said Kasai gave it his all and that was the reason why Aoki couldn’t end the match as soon as he wanted to. He’s happy with Kasai’s performance and looks forward to what’s to come for the rookie. Kasai called himself weak and said his entire body is in pain but he was able to resist the pain in order to fight Aoki with all that he’s got. He will treasure this match and will definitely beat Aoki some day, even if it takes a few years to get there.

Something Katsumata wasn’t able to do today was perform with NωA Jr. so Daichi Sato was supposed to take his place. Sato is out injured so Yuya Koroku ended up filling his spot instead. Meanwhile The Brahman Brothers had a new ally in the blue form of Brahman Sasaki. He joined in their shenanigans of throwing buckets of water at everyone and spewing mysterious goo out of his mouth. However NωA Jr. ended up doing something similar by drooling what was described as melted chocolate from their mouths onto the Brahmans. Things ended up backfiring for Koroku, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi with missed attacks that ended with powder being thrown into their faces. From there the Brahmans trapped Yuni in the Gotai Fumanzoku double pin for the victory. It took until after the match for Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei to figure out that NωA Jr. used melted chocolate because today is Valentine’s Day.

While the real Konosuke Takeshita is busy wrestling over in Australia, Shin Konosuke Takeshita made their big return a year after their previous appearance on this series. Kazuki Hirata was impressed with Shin Takeshita’s world class ability. Danshoku Dieno was fixated on fighting ShunMAO Katsumata and Koju Takeda joined in on his lewd spots. Shin Takeshita hit the Takeshita Line but couldn’t get over the ropes to do a Topé. Instead ShunMAO & Takeshi Masada used a spinning chair to help Shin Takeshita give Hirata the Raging Fire. Hirata kicked out much to everyone’s surprise but was then thrown into the Double Hell Gate that was Dieno & Takeda’s rear ends. ShunMAO then did the Totonou Splash onto Hirata and Shin Takeshita finished him off with the Wagamama.

Akito rolled back the clock and wrestled his match as a “Young Boy”, wearing the plain black trunks and using a more basic moveset. His match with Rukiya only lasted five minutes because that was the time limit allowed but Katsumata decided to give them a restart in order to determine a winner. Rukiya got the best of Akito here after a series of countered cradles ended with Rukiya getting the pin.

Before the show began, a press conference was held for the upcoming D GENERATIONS CUP final between Kazuma Sumi and Takeshi Masada. Sumi has thought about this match a lot but his thoughts are just him surpassing Masada to win the tournament. He thinks Masada is amazing but he is just as amazing too. Masada (accompanied by Bunbun) appreciated being called an amazing wrestler and competed in this year’s DGC tournament to get more fans to watch it. He wants as much support he can get to win and get the DDT Universal Title shot against Daisuke Sasaki. The two were asked what were their favorite matches in the tournament? Sumi’s answer was his match against Daichi Sato because they punched and kicked each other as hard as they could. Masada chose his two matches with Koroku because they left a lasting impression on him he will never forget. They were then asked about getting a Universal Title match. Sumi said he would like to challenge for that title for the first time and his goal is to become a top Junior Heavyweight wrestler. Masada feels uneasy because he had two previous title shots that both ended in failure. But if he wins it he wants to express what it’s like to be the Universal Champion in his own way.

1. Union MAX Title – 3 Way Match: Shuji Ishikawa (c) Vs Daichi Kazato Vs Tsutomu Oosugi

Next up for Shuji Ishikawa’s journey through BASARA is a Union MAX Title defence in a 3 Way Match. Daichi Kazato’s erratic behavior has somehow gotten himself and Tsutomu Oosugi a title shot. It’s been almost eight years since Oosugi’s previous MAX Title shot took place. It wasn’t that long ago when his tag partner Banana Senga won the same championship.

Before any of the matches begin there will be a contract signing between MIRAI and Toga for their International Princess Title match happening next month.

A foot injury for Kaya Toribami has taken her out of action for the next two weeks. She is expected to return in time for the 14th February show. Raku has been moved up to Match #4 and the teams have been rejigged a little to make the change fit.

GANBARE☆PRO “NEW YEAR’S BLUES 2026”, 31/01/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Sentaro Motoshima Vs Akira Shoji

Shinjuku FACE

1. Isami Kodaka & Takeru Inoue Vs Minoru Fujita & Yasu Urano
2. Daichi Kazato Vs Ayato Yoshida

5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura (c) Vs SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken

And BASARA caps off a busy Saturday for me.

DDT “NEPPA OVER FLOWERS 5 ~THE ONLY SAUNA IN THE WORLD~”, 14/02/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Shinya Aoki Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shin KONOSUKE TAKESHITA, MAO & Takeshi Masada Vs Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Koju Takeda
3. Special Single Match: Minoru Suzuki Vs To-y

The 37KAMIINA are sparing no expense for their Valentine’s Day produce show. Shin Konosuke Takeshita returns for a special trios match that will also include Koju Takeda from Triple Six. Takeda will be retiring from pro wrestling soon so this seems to be the only way he can reunite with Danshoku Dieno inside a DDT ring. Also does the existence of Shin Konosuke Takeshita mean there now also exists a Shin Kyle Fletcher?

One month into FANTÔMES DRAMATIC and Hinata Kasai is disappointed he hasn’t been able to team with the other members so far since joining. He might have to wait even longer because one of his upcoming matches is a singles bout with Shinya Aoki.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 28: BIG BEAT FROM BADSVILLE”, 24/02/2026
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. Special Single Match: Kota Sekifuda Vs HARASHIMA
2. Special Single Match: Antonio Honda Vs Miyu Yamashita
3. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs Yuta Oya

Looks like Kota Sekifuda is fully accepted into the Baka Gaijin & Friends space. He and HARASHIMA had some interactions during the Baka Battle Royal in December, the memorable one being HARASHIMA using Sekifuda’s snake to put him in a literal Cobra Twist.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2026 ~29TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION 5 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 22/03/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Dramatic Dream Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs KANON

After having a not so glamorous debut last September, Evil Uno returns to DDT for the 29th Anniversary show hoping to get better circumstances for his match this time.

Daisuke Sasaki will be wrestling overseas during the month of April. At the moment this show is the latest DDT even happening in March so his last match in Japan for the period might be here.


Max Heart Final 4, SLC Is Growing, Yuta Oya, Big Matches For March

January 27, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 6TH “FUTARI WA PRINCESS” MAX HEART TOURNAMENT”, 31/01/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. 3 Way Match: Hyper Misao Vs Raku Vs Shino Suzuki
2. HIMAWARI Vs Shion Kanzaki
3. Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs Yuki Arai, Mifu Ashida & Kaya Toribami
4. Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Ren Konatsu Vs Miyu Yamashita, Mahiro Kiryu & Kaya Toribami
5. MIRAI & Sara Phoenix Vs Toga & Chika Nanase
6. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Semi-Final: Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara
7. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Semi-Final: Suzume & Arisu Endo Vs Mizuki & Uta Takami

Four teams are left in the Max Heart Tournament. Can Pompaler reach the final again for a second year in a row or will Ober Eats become the first reigning Princess Tag Team Champions to make it to the last two. Daisy Monkey are still on path to becoming the first two time winners but the wild card team of Mizuki & Uta Takami can continue to throw things off course.

MIRAI will make her first appearance back in Tokyo Joshi Pro since winning the International Princess Title. She and Toga will be gearing up for their title match next month with Sara Phoenix and Chika Nanase joining in the fun.

DDT “NEXT STEP GAME 2026”, 04/02/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Jun Akiyama & Danshoku Dieno Vs Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata
2. 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul Vs Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda Vs Akito, Junta Miyawaki & Yuki Ishida
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Shinya Aoki & Rukiya Vs MAO, KANON & Yukio Naya
4. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – B Block: Yuya Koroku (4) Vs Hinata Kasai (0)
5. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – B Block: Takeshi Masada (2) Vs Yuni (2)
6. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – A Block: Daichi Sato (4) Vs Kazuma Sumi (2)
7. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – A Block: To-y (3) Vs Ilusion (0)

A big shift is happening in DDT now that The Apex has joined Strange Love Connection, turning SLC from a tag team into a growing unit. The change it has for this show isn’t as big though. It’s just Yukio Naya and Rukiya swapping teams now that Naya calls MAO & KANON his allies.

DDT “NEPPA OVER FLOWERS 5 ~THE ONLY SAUNA IN THE WORLD~”, 14/02/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Single Match: Minoru Suzuki Vs To-y

The main event of The 37KAMIINA’s annual Valentine’s Day show has been announced. To-y is going to fight Minoru Suzuki! To-y is probably going to get murdered by Suzuki too.

Both Yuki Ueno and MAO will be wrestling on the show. Also Shunma Katsumata will be there taking on several roles from show producer to ring announcer to Sauna Health Advisor.

DDT “REMBRANDT HIGHWAY SERIES 2026 ~AYU COLISEUM IN ATSUGI~”, 15/02/2026
Kanagawa Rembrandt Hotel Atsugi Grand Banquet Sagami

1. Kazuki Hirata Vs Rukiya
2. Naomi Yoshimura & Yuni Vs Hideki Okatani & Ilusion
3. To-y, Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku Vs Yuki Ishida, Kazuma Sumi & Hinata Kasai
4. MAO, KANON & Yukio Naya (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Akito, Junta Miyawaki & Daichi Sato
5. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Jun Akiyama Vs Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda
6. O-40 Title – 4 Way Match: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs HARASHIMA Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga

The grand plan to create a DDT Triple Crown didn’t work out for Daisuke Sasaki but he is now a double champion. His first defence for the DDT Universal Title hasn’t been decided yet but if it was up to him it would be against Ueno. Instead he has to go defend the O-40 Title in a 4 Way Match against HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dieno and Tomomitsu Matsunaga. Given what pro wrestling is like nowadays I doubt this is the oldest lineup a 4 Way Match has ever had.

DDT “HYBRID PERFORMER 2026 ~KAISEI TAKECHI 2ND ANNIVERSARY~”, 22/02/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – Final: Winner Of Block A Vs Winner Of Block B
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON & X (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Danshoku Dieno, Super Sasadango Machine & Akito
3. Kaisei Takechi 2nd Anniversary Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Kaisei Takechi

SLC have even more members coming to join the team. MAO was already planning to reveal their new stablemate before The Apex offered to join them. I think Kazuma Sumi would be the perfect choice given that he already fits in with MAO & KANON from previous tag matches and he has a little bit of history teaming up with The Apex as well.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 28: BIG BEAT FROM BADSVILLE”, 24/02/2026
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. Special Single Match: Antonio Honda Vs Miyu Yamashita
2. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs Yuta Oya

Chris Brookes was feeling down over his recent championship defeats but a brand new opponent emerging in Baka Gaijin + Friends has cheered him up. Yuta Oya is from Sportiva Entertainment and only debuted in July 2024 which made headlines because he is blind. He had cancer as a child that resulted in his right eye being removed and radiation therapy being needed to save his left eye. He had taken up judo in school and wanted to become a pro wrestler but had to give up that dream when he eventually lost sight in his left eye and became fully blind. He was then diagnosed with bladder cancer in his early 30s which made him want to become a pro wrestler to teach his son you need the determination to never give up while pursuing what you love.

Also making their Baka Gaijin debut next month is Miyu Yamashita! She has teamed up with Antonio Honda before, the most important time being the match against Kenny Omega & Riho at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2019”. This will be the first time Yamashita and Honda will be opponents.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2026 ~29TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION 5 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 22/03/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Dramatic Dream Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs KANON

The DDT 29th Anniversary main event has been set. Yuki Ueno defends the KO-D Openweight Title against KANON in a match that has more history behind it than it looks on the surface. When KANON joined DDT in 2022 his first loss in the company was to Ueno in that year’s King Of DDT tournament. KANON wants to get revenge on that loss while also taking the company’s top prize as somebody who has grown to love DDT. Ueno remembers that match and he also remembers all of the times KANON tried to hurt him as a member of DAMNATION T.A. Will the build up to this match result in fresh bad blood between them or will cooler heads prevail to focus on the big prize?

Meanwhile Kazuki Hirata is getting the biggest opponent DDT can throw at him and he doesn’t like it. Can he pull off an even bigger miracle than winning the KO-D Title last year by beating Konosuke Takeshita all by himself? I mean if Yota Tsuji can do it then Hirata certainly can. Right?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Special Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki & KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Hyper Misao & Super Sasadango Machine
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Arai

Look, even Super Sasadango Machine is surprised that the mystery team isn’t Shingo Takagi & Natsupoi. Instead Sasadango is being dragged into the match by Hyper Misao because she thinks a pairing as incomprehensible as them is what it will take to beat Yuka Sakazaki & Takeshita. Also Misao wants to get contracts from DDT, TJPW, AEW and New Japan all at the same time. She thinks winning this match will help her achieve that goal.

Natsume Nakayama from OCHA NORMA will be at the show as a special guest commentator. She does not seem to be the celebrity wrestler that Tetsuya Koda has been tasked with finding to be a big draw for the show.
