TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 14/10/2026
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi
202 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Next Generation Tournament ’26 – Round 1: Shion Kanzaki defeated Chieri Sakimori with the Midnight Blues (5:13).
2. MIRAI defeated Momo Sato with the Lariat (8:15).
3. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi/Great Wakabayashi-kun defeated Pom Harajuku and HIMAWARI when Wakabayashi-kun pinned HIMAWARI with the Great Wakabayashi-kun Bomb (8:50).
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Zac (Battle Mode) defeated Shoko Nakajima & Pokotan when Kamifuku pinned Pokotan after the Zac And Famouser (13:28).
5. Suzume & Arisu Endo Vs Haru Kazashiro & Uta Takami ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).

Has Daisy Monkey met its match from the new generation? Haru Kazashiro & Uta Takami have already found their own tag partners among the Tokyo Joshi Pro senpais but they got to show they could be something of an effective tag team together if their paths had gone different directions. The two of them were able to fight Daisy Monkey to a twenty minute time limit draw. Suzume and Takami were the ones fighting each other in the final moments and even though the bell rang to end the match, Takami still went and put Suzume in the Koala Clutch thinking it wasn’t over yet. Suzume understood Takami’s attitude and smiled at her instead of retaliating when they were broken up. Takami then got on the microphone to challenge Suzume for the International Princess Title. Suzume agreed because she wants to keep fighting Takami to a conclusive finish and she wants the title match to happen on 8th November. Arisu Endo then spoke to Kazashiro but resisted the urge to challenge her for the Princess Tag Team Titles. Endo admitted her back is a wreck right now and she doesn’t want to challenge for a championship until she is in 100% condition again. Kazashiro promised she will wait for Endo’s challenge but she already has a title defence set for 8th November.

Yuki Kamifuku had promised everyone that her pet dog Zac would activate Battle Mode and team up with her for a match. She carried Zac down to the ring for their entrance only to bring him back up to the stage. Then behind the curtain, Zac transformed into the Battle Mode, looking more pro wrestler like than his normal self. He’s still a dog though and was unaware of some of the usual actions one would do in a wrestling match. Shoko Nakajima got him to do a lock up by making him do the handshake trick with his paw. From that point Zac understood what to do and showed off a lucha libre type of agility. Kamifuku gave Zac instructions as the match progressed although at some points Zac got distracted, like when he ignored Kamiyu to go urinate on the corner post. Nakajima also distracted Zac with a dog toy but Zac made a Roman Reigns comeback by hitting a Superman Punch and a Spear. When Nakajima was outside the ring, Kamiyu threw the dog toy at her, causing Zac to dive through the ropes onto her. He then went back in an Kamifuku used him as a launch pad to do the Famouser on Pokotan for the win. Backstage she talked about how long Zac has looked after her, going far back to before her debut match. He’s an old dog now that’s been through a lot but also incredibly cool. She thinks TJPW has helped Zac become a fine gentleman too.

Things could have gotten out of hand quickly when Rika Tatsumi in her Great Wakabayashi-kun persona pulled out a fork weapon on HIMAWARI. Thankfully the ref discarded the weapon and Pom Harajuku got to intervene. Harajuku & HIMAWARI then lured Tatsumi into a wheeled cage near ringside, locking her in and spinning the cage around in circles. Wakabayashi-kun eventually escaped and grabbed her weapon again, this time turning it into a nunchuck to choke her opponents with. Both of her opponents started to choke her back out of instinct until all three wrestlers were down. Wakabayashi-kun was able to get the advantage from there and pin HIMAWARI with a Neck Hanging Bomb.

The current GHC Women’s Champion paid TJPW another visit, this time for a match against the youngest wrestler on the roster. MIRAI put Momo Sato through her paces but the rookie was able to show some power by Body Slamming her opponent and putting her in a Crab Hold. MIRAI got out of it and stayed on the defensive until she could trap Sato in the Sea Rider and then the Miraimare Shock submission holds. Sato got another Body Slam in and tried to pin MIRAI several times but a Lariat knocked her down and out in the end. MIRAI said she discovered a great “Peach” today and is looking forward to seeing her ripen until she becomes delicious enough to have a rematch.

The first round of the Next Generation Tournament is now complete. Shion Kanzaki moves onto the Winner’s Bracket after she made Chieri Sakimori tap out to the Midnight Blues. She will now face Ren Konatsu next with the winner advancing to the final. Kanzaki only has memories of losing to Kanzaki so she is determined to beat her this time. Sakimori said this was her first ever singles match and she had fun despite losing. She at least got to use her entrance song for the first time and hopes the fans will come to love it as much as they’ll love her. Sakimori moves down to the Loser’s Bracket for an all or nothing match against Momo Sato.

At the start of the show Rise Shirai brought the trainee Yui out to hype up her debut match on 8th November. She said she’ll give it her all and asks for the fans to support her.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION” Results

April 18, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 18/04/2026
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi
222 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Kakeru Sekiguchi & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Kira Summer & Chika Nanase when Kiryu pinned Nanase with the Spinebuster (11:25).
2. Mifu Ashida defeated Papillon Akemi with the German Suplex (12:34).
3. Mei Suruga defeated Ren Konatsu with the Gâteau Invisible (11:08).
4. Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro defeated Rika Tatsumi & Shion Kanzaki when Endo pinned Kanzaki with the Ju no Okite (18:32).

While the majority of the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster went over to America, those who remained in Japan held their own show, the next edition of the “TJPW INSPIRATION” series of shorter wrestling events that are a little bit different than usual. In the main event Rika Tatsumi took a break to go get food for herself & Shion Kanzaki. They also force fed their opponents with the food. Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro launched a successful comeback with Kazashiro diving onto the other team and Endo then finishing off Kanzaki with the Ju no Okite. After the match, Kazashiro sent out a message of thanks to Suzume for successfully defending the International Princess Title in America. She owes so much of her career to Suzume which is why she wanted her to be the champion for her 4th May title shot. Endo then announced that she wants to be the next person to challenge Yuki Arai for the Princess Of Princess Title! She actually called Arai backstage after the show to challenge her directly after figuring out it was 10pm over in Las Vegas so she should still be awake. Arai answered the call, confirmed she watched the show on Wrestle Universe and accepted Arai’s challenge!

Last year Mei Suruga and Ren Konatsu got to wrestle each other in a tag match at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI” but today was their first singles match against each other. Suruga refused to shake Konatsu’s hand before the match and then got into a pose-off to see who is cuter. She then clipped off the toy sheep from Konatsu’s belt to taunt her further. Konatsu tried to fight back but missed the Aries Comet, allowing Suruga to trap her in the Gâteau Invisible and make her tap out. Suruga said she had so much fun today and was bursting with motivation because whenever the TJPW roster travels overseas, it feels like Japan is left entrusted to wrestlers like herself. She thinks Konatsu has a lot of room for growth so she hopes they can wrestle each other more and more. She is also excited to form “The Ultimate Sister Trio” of herself, Mizuki & Uta Takami at the 4th May Korakuen Hall show. Konatsu said she aimed to bite the “big apple” right down to her core but instead it was herself who was eaten alive today.

Mifu Ashida’s cheerleading talents convinced Papillon Akemi to give it a go during their match. It eventually became a distraction so they went back to wrestling each other. Akemi lost focus and became vulnerable to Ashida doing the German Suplex to get the victory.

Twin magic prevailed in the opener! Kakeru Sekiguchi & Mahiro Kiryu kept finding ways to use their similar likenesses in order to confuse Kira Summer & Chika Nanase into forgetting who was who. Not every plan worked but the confusion led to Nanase accidentally knocking down Summer with a missed attack. Sekiguchi then sent Nanase into Kiryu’s way for the Spinebuster to end the match.

This will be the final time Tokyo Joshi Pro comes to Kobe Art Center. The venue will be going under changes and the planned finished layout is considered to be unsuitable for holding wrestling shows according to Tetsuya Koda. So in the future TJPW will be looking for another venue in Kobe to host Mizuki’s homecoming shows. Somehow I don’t expect the Ring Soul bar to be among the options.

The International Princess Title scene gathers together for an important preview match. The current champion MIRAI is hanging around for a while and is teaming with her previous challenger Toga. On the other team is MIRAI’s next challenger Suzume along with her Daisy Monkey partner and former champion Arisu Endo.

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

3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Arai

Well, Ober Eats said they wanted to face a tag team that are a big deal. They also said they want to have the best match on the show and er… yeah… it’s nice to want things. Anyway TJPW went and got The IInspiration to be Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara’s next challengers for the Princess Tag Team Titles. The Australian pair of Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee were known as The IIconics in WWE before going to TNA with the name change. They won the women’s tag team championships in both companies and just recently signed a deal with AEW so they match the requirements Ober Eats were looking for.

The mascot Minimo-chan spent Monday training with Mahiro Kiryu for its upcoming pro wrestling debut. Super Sasadango Machine gave Minimo-chan the task of learning a special move but Kiryu was sceptical over the mascot’s ability to wrestle. Minimo-chan proved her wrong by running the ropes, doing Wrist Locks and even performing a Side Thrust Kick to the ribs with ease. It then told Kiryu that with this kick it will win its debut match in Sumo Hall! An interview was held after training where Minimo-chan revealed it used to watch All Japan VHS tapes over and over until they all wore out. Its favorite wrestlers are Steve Williams, Doug Furnas and Dan Kroffat. Minimo-chan also aims to eventually fight for a championship!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 18/04/2026
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi

How curious. The next TJPW Inspiration show will feature Rika Tatsumi, Mahiro Kiryu, Arisu Endo, Haru Kazashiro, Mifu Ashida, Kira Summer, Chika Nanase, Ren Konatsu and Shion Kanzaki on the card along with three guest wrestlers. While this is going on Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao, Yuki Aino and Toga will be in Las Vegas for Wrestlemania Weekend. Yamashita and Toga already have match bookings but the other three are so far only advertised for a meet and greet at WrestleCon. The mystery continues.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION” Results

November 19, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 19/11/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
247 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Kaya Toribami defeated Toga with the Sento Choryu (8:29).
2. Rika Tatsumi defeated Gabai Ji-chan with a Reverse Figure 4 Leg Lock (11:31).
3. Mizuki & Yuki Aino defeated Raku & HIMAWARI when Mizuki pinned Raku with the Cutie Special (14:59).
4. Shoko Nakajima & Miyu Yamashita Vs Yuu & Yuki Kamifuku ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).

You never forget where you came from. Yuu never forgot where she came from either. It’s been seven years since she graduated from Tokyo Joshi Pro and she hadn’t stepped foot back inside until today. She will be retiring from pro wrestling at the end of the year but before that can happen she just had to come by for one last appearance. For the special match Yuu teamed with Yuki Kamifuku to take on Miyu Yamashita & Shoko Nakajima, two former rivals she has fought with over the Princess Of Princess Title in the past. Yamashita relished the chance to kick her again while Yuu took the blows and threw her around just as hard. Nakajima and Kamifuku weren’t left out of the action either and all four of them were spent when the bell rang for a time limit draw.

After the match Kamifuku got on the microphone to welcome Yuu back to TJPW. She told Yuu how sad she was when Yuu left the promotion but Kamifuku used that as motivation to work harder. Now she is a champion leading the younger generation. She joked that Yuu couldn’t imagine this matchup ending in a draw knowing how often Kamifuku lost her matches back then. She has improved so much that she wants her three seniors to start praising her. As soon as this match was announced, Yamashita was reminded of all the times she and Yuu exchanged blows like crazy. Today was just like that and even though Yamashita’s chest was left red, it felt so good. The red marks will go away but the Chops Yuu gave her will always be in her heart. Nakajima pointed out that she is the same age as Yuu and they share the same birthday. However when it comes to wrestling Nakajima is a little bit older so it makes her sad to see Yuu is retiring before her.

Yuu promised she wasn’t going to cry until she retires but she couldn’t help doing it today because she’s never going to fight with these wrestlers again. She was the first woman to graduate from TJPW but continue wrestling elsewhere. While she didn’t always see eye to eye with Tetsuya Koda, she wanted to take this chance to thank him along with everyone else in the company for giving her a warm send off at the time. She loves pro wrestling and is truly grateful that she’ll be able to retire while still loving it. From next year onwards she will support TJPW as a fan.

When Match #3 began Raku immediately asked Yuki Aino for a hug and offered her an eye mask so they could take a nap in the ring together. Mizuki told Aino not to take the offer but Aino couldn’t resist. Raku quickly rolled her up for a nearfall but Aino kicked out and briefly wrestled while still having the eye mask blocking her sight. She went on to handle HIMAWARI while Mizuki pinned Raku with the Cutie Special.

Rika Tatsumi tried to be polite to Gabai Ji-chan by holding down the bottom ring rope for him to enter the ring but he decided to trip her down with his walking cane. Then as they wrestled, Tatsumi strangled Ji-chan in the corner until he fainted. She got upset thinking he died but he was only playing possum to roll her up for a nearfall. He also did the Old School rope walk by using his cane for assitance. Tatsumi pulled the cane away, causing him to get crotched on the ropes. Ji-chan tried fighting back but his legs kept giving up on him whenever he attempted a Body Slam. He also injured his knee from giving Tatsumi (with her diamond hips) an Atomic Drop. Tatsumi worked the leg but that couldn’t stop Ji-chan from suddenly using Keiji Muto’s moveset from the Dragon Screw to the Shining Wizard to the Ribbreaker. He then went for the Moonsault, landing on his feet when Tatsumi moved out of the way and injuring his knee again. That ended up costing him the match because when he later tried to put on a Figure 4 Leg Lock, Tatsumi turned over to reverse it and he immediately tapped out from the pain.

Fresh off of winning the IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles with Yamashita last week, Kaya Toribami fought Toga in a singles match. She countered the Rock Bottom to roll Toga into position for an Enzuigiri and then once Toga was laid into position, Toribami pinned her with the Sento Choryu.

Chika Nanase worked the show as a ringside attendant but she also joined Rise Shirai for the show opening announcements.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN VICTORY IN KITAZAWA” Results

September 7, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN VICTORY IN KITAZAWA”, 07/09/2025
Tokyo Kitazawa Town Hall
222 Fans – No Vacancy

1. HIMAWARI defeated Ren Konatsu with the Half Crab Hold (7:50).
2. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Mahiro Kiryu, Kaya Toribami & Mifu Ashida when Raku pinned Ashida with the Doctor Yellow (8:58).
3. Yuki Arai defeated Chika Nanase with the Scorpion Death Lock (6:48).
4. Rika Tatsumi defeated Uta Takami with the Dragon Sleeper (10:11).
5. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Haru Kazashiro & Shino Suzuki when Endo pinned Suzuki with the Ju no Okite (9:44).
6. Yuna Manase & Toga defeated Miyu Yamashita & Kira Summer when Toga pinned Summer with the Rock Bottom (10:09).
7. Mizuki, Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Miu Watanabe, Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara when Misao submitted Uehara with the Chickenwing Face Lock (17:11).

The second show on today’s Kitazawa doubleheader was the more usual Tokyo Joshi Pro affair. With “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI” just under two weeks away it was time for a champions versus challengers 6-Woman Tag Match to headline the show. Mizuki teamed up with Kyoraku Kyomei while Miu Watanabe joined forces with Ober Eats. Before the match began Hyper Misao felt so confident about the champions’ chances of winning that she called her shot and predicted she would take the winning fall from Wakana Uehara. She suffered a setback when Yuki Kamifuku took the spray can from her and sprayed her in the face with it. Things between Mizuki and Watanabe were also more competitive terms with some moments of good sportsmanship coming off like it was an act of passive aggression. The match came down to the two tag teams with Misao clasping the Chickenwing Face Lock onto Uehara. Shoko Nakajima cut off Kamifuku’s rescue by hitting her with the Diving Senton, giving Uehara no option but to give up.

After the match the champion team all talked about defending their titles on 20th September. Misao said she is now even with Uehara after losing to her a few weeks ago and today’s result proves that Uehara’s win was just a fluke. She’ll prove it again at their singles match in Aizuwakamatsu next weekend that Kyoraku Kyomei’s odds of beating Ober Eats are at 99.99999999999%! Nakajima then told Kamifuku that they will be fighting each other in Texas next weekend for the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title. She admits she’s been having fun wrestling against her lately. Mizuki then acknowledged that Watanabe has become more of a Cinderella recently so when the Princess Of Princess Title is on the line, Mizuki wants to win when Watanabe is in her most sparkling form.

The new team of Yuna Manase & Toga has gotten off to a good start. They’re already some teamwork down and had each other’s backs when Miyu Yamashita & Kira Summer launched a counter attack. Manase put all her trust in Toga when she lifted Summer into a Samoan Drop position and then told Toga to hit her with an Elbow Strike to add more oomph to the move. When Manase used another Samoan Drop to get rid of Yamashita, Toga went and pinned Summer with the Rock Bottom. After the match Toga suggested to Manase backstage that they can go challenge for the Princess Tag Team Titles, then decided they should do it. Manase liked the idea because she always wanted to win that title. She then shouted over to Tetsuya Koda at the other side of the room that they want a title shot. She and Toga will also come up with a team name.

The next “TJPW INPIRATION” show will be held on 19th November and will feature the one night only return of Yuu to Tokyo Joshi Pro! TJPW was her original home promotion when she debuted in 2016 up until she left in 2018. She is planning to retire from pro wrestling on 28th December so part of it includes her “coming home” for the first time in seven years. For her TJPW return she is going to team with Kamifuku to take on Nakajima & Yamashita!

The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) performed their newest song “Love Motto” at the start of the show.

The present main eventers of Tokyo Joshi Pro fought against two possible future main eventers on today’s TJPW Inspiration show. Haru Kazashiro grabbed Mizuki in an Armbreaker while Uta Takami jumped onto Miu Watanabe to apply the Koala Clutch. However Watanabe was able to break up both submission holds by slamming Takami onto Kazashiro. Mizuki then blocked Kazashiro from doing the Fisherman Suplex and cut her off by the ropes with a Diving Foot Stomp. She then won the match using the Cutie Special. Mizuki asked for a handshake after the match but then ignored the other team when they offered her one. Watanabe did shake hands with Kazashiro but ignored Takami for some reason. Mizuki thanked everyone for coming to the show because it was TJPW’s first time at TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi. She’s expecting the summer to get hot but it’s already becoming too hot for her right now. Watanabe said everybody thinks of them as princesses so today you can call them Princess Tag!

Nao Kakuta made a special appearance on the show to officiate a tag match between Yoshiko Hasegawa & Kaya Toribami and Tae Honma & Miyuki Takase. The latter team started to argue with each other when things weren’t going their way. Kakuta tried to calm them down when Honma decided that Kakuta was the only one on her side. The two of them then Irish Whipped everyone else into the corner. Takase then tried using Kakuta for double team moves by Suplexing her onto Hasegawa but Kakuta reversed it and Hasegawa rolled away. Takase used a Missile Dropkick to take down Haseawa & Toribami. Honma gave Hasegawa a Modified DDT for a nearfall and then put her in an Arm Lock to make her give up. Kakuta was later asked if she would like to be a referee again. She doesn’t plan to but if she’s given another opportunity she wouldn’t mind taking it. Toribami complained about Kakuta playing favorites in the match but Kakuta, Honma & Takase told her it was all in her head.

In a promotion that is usually filled with youthful, fast paced wrestlers Gabai Ji-chan slowed things down with his elderly movements. He also thought he was teaming up with Daisy Monkey until Daisuke Kiso guided him over to Mahiro Kiryu’s corner. There were moments when Ji-chan was able to keep up with Suzume & Arisu Endo until his body couldn’t take it anymore. Maybe it’s all in the cane because he threw it towards Suzume and when she caught it, all of a sudden she was bent over double moving like an old lady. Ji-chan then kicked the cane away making Suzume collapse on the mat. He then went for the Swanton Bomb but Endo pulled Suzume out of the way, causing a chain reaction where Kiryu was pulled into Suzume’s place and Ji-chan landed onto the back of her legs instead. Endo took down Ji-chan with a Neckbreaker Drop and Suzume then pinned Kiryu with the Ring A Bell.

The rookie Ren Konatsu was given a big chance to wrestle Shoko Nakajima one on one. The match was mostly grapple based with Konatsu applying a Sleeper only for Nakajima to collapse it. Konatsu tried turning it into a Cradle but Nakajima rolled out of that too and maneuvered everything into catching her opponent with the Unmanned Local Train Hold for the tap out.

Hasegawa wrestled twice on the show, although the first bout was only a three minute exhibition. Ai Shimizu was invited back to wrestle in TJPW for the first time in 9 years just so Hasegawa could get a chance to wrestler her, even if it was just for a brief moment in time. Three minutes obviously wasn’t enough time to determine a winner and the time ran out while Hasegawa was kicking out of a Romero Special and putting Shimizu into a her own submission hold. Afterwards Hasegawa pointed out that Shimizu never actually retired from pro wrestling so she would love to see what she will do next. The two have happy memories together and Shimizu thanked Hasegawa for choosing her as one of her last opponents before retirement. Similar to what Kakuta said above, Shimizu told reporters that if an offer comes her way she may be interested in wrestle again if her schedule allows it.

Today was Rise Shirai’s first complete show as TJPW’s new ring announcer. She was joined by Chika Nanase for the show’s opening call.

7. King Of DDT 2025 – Round 2: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Yuki Ueno

Round 2 for King Of DDT takes place this Saturday with eight wrestlers being whittled down to four. DAMNATION T.A have a chance to fill up half of the semi-finals if Daisuke Sasaki and Hideki Okatani both win their matches. HARASHIMA hardly broke a sweat in his 1st Round match though and Yuki Ueno is feeling pretty motivated to climb back to the top of DDT too. KANON is calling himself the “Yukio Naya Killer” because Naya has never beaten him in their previous singles matches. That also leaves Kazusada Higuchi and Takeshi Masada fighting each other over one of the remaining spots.

When Round 2 has been completed a lottery will be held to pair off the semi-final matches.

The Beer Garden show will also begin DDT’s celebration of Toru Owashi wrestling on their shows for 20 years. He first showed up on DDT’s doorstep in 2005 and he’s been working with the company almost ever since, save for a year long hiatus he took from wrestling in 2011.

It’s back to the boat races for Ganbare☆Pro with an unexpected reunion on the cards. Ken Ohka & Mio Shirai are teaming up again for the first time in 13 years! Back in the Union Pro days they had a tsundere relationship where Shirai dominated Ohka but could never quite want to get rid of him. They had a regular spot where she would submit Ohka with a Headscissors and boy did writing about that in my show reports at the time result in some readers searching my site hoping to find similar fetish wrestling content. WordPress kept track of the search terms back then you perverts!

Oh, also The Great Sasuke and Kyoko Inoue will be on the show too.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 22: THE BEGINNING IS THE END IS THE BEGINNING”, 27/05/2025
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. Special Tag Team Match: Great King Ueki & Munek Vs Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei
2. Special Single Match: Mr. Bueno Vs Fuminori Abe
3. BK-G Openweight Title: Mr. Malo (c) Vs Antonio Honda

The last Baka Gaijin + Friends show ended with a brand new BK-G Openweight Champion. The next show sees Mr. Malo having his first defence with Antonio Honda stepping up to be his challenger.

Things aren’t going Mr. Bueno’s way lately so maybe a spiritual battle with Fuminori Abe will cure what ails him.

We also last saw Great King Ueki & Munek capture the soul of Ram Kaichow, leaving her body behind as a husk following after them. Are they satisfied with what they got or do they want more? Throwing The Brahman Brothers against them is only going to cause chaos even if no soul catching takes place.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2025 IN NERIMA”, 31/05/2025
Tokyo Nerima Coconeri Hall

1. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Yoshiko Hasegawa

Before Yoshiko Hasegawa retires she still has a few things to check off her list. Most important of all is challenging Suzume for the International Princess Title. Her idea got a negative response from some fans but she decided in the end to go through with it and eventually got everyone’s approval. Suzume will earn her 4th defence if she wins this match and that’s about the level her kind of IP Title reign usually reaches.

Jada Stone is advertised for the show. Yesterday she vaguely tweeted “Sadly, All Good Things Must Come To An End…” along with a highlight video of herself. So she’s making it sound like she’s either about to call it quits or she just got signed somewhere.

DDT “NAGOYA FIGHT FEVER 2025”, 01/06/2025
Aichi Chunichi Hall & Conference

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion (c) Vs Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y

After Shunma Katsumata failed to win back the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles with NωA Jr. so he gets another title shot this time with The 37KAMIINA. What’s he going to do to get a third chance if he loses to DAMNATION T.A again. Reform ALL OUT?

Minoru Suzuki will be on the show.

GANBARE☆PRO “BLUE VELVET 2025”, 22/06/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Yoshiko Hasegawa’s Last Ganbare☆Pro Wrestling Match: Moeka Haruhi, Yuna Manase & Banny Oikawa Vs YuuRI, Yoshiko Hasegawa & Riara

Also on Yoppy’s to do list is one final match in GanPro. She reunites with the Ganbare☆Joshi division for her farewell, including the return of Riara to the promotion. Riara has been busy lately doing her best over in Marigold.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 28/06/2025
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi

1. 3 Minute Exhibition Match: Ai Shimizu Vs Yoshiko Hasegawa
2. Suzume & Arisu Endo Vs Gabai Ji-chan & Mahiro Kiryu
3. Tae Honma & Miyuki Takase Vs Yoshiko Hasegawa & Kaya Toribami
4. Mizuki & Miu Watanabe Vs Haru Kazashiro & Uta Takami

The “TJPW INSPIRATION” show is being brought back for Tokyo Joshi Pro’s first event at the new TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi venue. The main event sees the two strongest TJPW wrestlers currently in Japan taking on the two youngest members of the roster. The youthful energy of Daisy Monkey will be pitted against the combination of years old wisdom plus earnestness found in Gabai Ji-chan & Mahiro Kiryu.

Plus Hasegawa gets two special matches with special guests involved. The main one is a tag match with against Tae Honma & Miyuki Takase bringing back memories of Actwres girl’z for the three of them. But also there will be a short exhibition match against Ai Shimizu, who has not wrestled since 2017. The two of them once starred in a wrestling themed play together back when they were both actresses and Shimizu was already gone from the wrestling business by the time Hasegawa debuted so they never got to be in the ring together. Hasegawa wanted it to happen so she came up with the idea to do an exhibition match and convinced Shimizu to do it.

GANBARE☆PRO “MIZUKI WATASE 10TH ANNIVERSARY – IT’S A SUMMER FILM 2025”, 26/08/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Mizuki Watase 10th Anniversary Match – Fluorescent Lighttube Death Match: Mizuki Watase Vs Jun Kasai

This was already announced but I forgot to write about it in the news section until now. Mizuki Watase wants to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of his debut match by fighting Jun Kasai with Lighttubes. He’s a nutjob.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GOLDEN WEEK FAN APPRECIATION DAY 「EAST」” Results

May 3, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GOLDEN WEEK FAN APPRECIATION DAY 「EAST」”, 03/05/2025
Saitama Kasukabe Fureai Cube
374 Fans – Super No Vacancy

2. Yuki Arai, Moka Miyamoto & Shino Suzuki defeated Wakana Uehara, Kira Summer & Ivy Steele when Arai submitted Steele with the Scorpion Death Lock (8:37).

5. Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Raku defeated Yuna Manase, Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko when Misao pinned Neko with the Hypami Returns (11:39).
6. VPW Women’s Title: Viva Van defeated Yuki Kamifuku (c) with the Japanese Ocean Cyclone Suplex (7:15)
*Yuki Kamifuku fails in V4. Viva Van becomes the 2nd VPW Women’s Champion!
7. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) defeated HIMAWARI with the Ring A Bell (15:16).
*V4 for Suzume.

Suzume is quickly catching up to the International Princess Title defence record. Today’s win over HIMAWARI is her fourth defence since becoming champion at the start of the year. She avoided HIMAWARI’s new finishing move the Sunflower Tempest and used the corner to get her opponent with a Facecrusher and then the Ring A Bell to win. HIMAWARI said she is frustrated to lose after winning the No. 1 Contendership because she gave it her all and couldn’t beat Suzume. But she thinks the experience will help her take a step forward on an emotional level. She’ll train more so next time she challenges for a title she will win it!

In the ring Suzume praised HIMAWARI for establishing her own unique style from the beginning and having everything that Suzume does not have. As IP Champion Suzume wants to make Tokyo Joshi Pro known to the world just like her seniors who paved the way for her. Yoshiko Hasegawa then entered the ring. Back when she announced her plans to retire in March she said she wanted to challenge Suzume for the IP Title. Her idea received some criticism at the time which made her reconsider. But with only a short time of her wrestling career left, Hasegawa decided to be selfish and make the challenge. She asked the fans to call her name if they will support her challenge and they did. Suzume said she would have accepted the challenge no matter what others think and she will do her best to beat her.

There is a new VPW Women’s Champion after Viva Van defeated Yuki Kamifuku. It’s been a while since the two were together and Kamifuku couldn’t help but exclaim how much Van’s strikes hurt her. Kamifuku found her rhythm and got a nearfall from doing a Superplex followed by a Reverse Famouser. But Van ended up countering the regular Famouser and dropped Kamifuku with the Japanese Ocean Cyclone Suplex for the three count. Van said she’s been fighting all her life and didn’t come back to TJPW just to be someone else’s shadow. She won this championship for Vietnam and has become the first Vietnamese wrestler to win a title in Japan. Kamifuku said it is great to see an Asian girl like Van working hard so even though she isn’t happy she lost, she feels relieved to see the belt is now in Van’s care. It’s the end of the Asian Double Crown but Kamifuku still holds the Queen Of Asia Title. She hopes she is the catalyst of TJPW bringing in wrestlers from across the Southeast Asian region more often.

Kyoraku Kyomei have an important Princess Tag Team Titles defence coming up so they realized the best way to conserve their energy is to sleep more often. They got Raku to bring a blanket to the ring for the three of them to sleep under in the ring but it was all a trap so they could use it as a weapon on Yuna Manase. But Manase used her power to break free and Mahiro Kiryu had to apologise on their behalf for bringing the blanket into the ring. Manase helped Haruna Neko to Power Bomb Hyper Misao but Shoko Nakajima broke the pin. Raku got Manase & Kiryu out of the ring so Nakajima could dive onto them. That left Misao to pin Neko with the Hypami Returns.

After the match the SEA trio of Matcha, Alexis Lee & Nor ‘Phoenix’ Diana entered the ring to stand in front of their champion opponents. Matcha & Lee got into a little fight with Kyoraku Kyomei. Meanwhile Raku wanted to shake Diana’s hand and make a Good Night pose together but Diana turned her down. Nakajima said a successful defence against Matcha & Lee will be used as a stepping stone for Kyoraku Kyomei to defend their titles abroad even more. She wants to show the challengers she is the Big Kaiju while Misao will prove to them that she is a hero! Raku heard that Malaysians sleep a little longer than Japanese people but she wonders if Diana hasn’t been able to sleep because she is too excited to be in Japan? If that’s the case then Raku wants to have lots of sweet dreams with her.

The SEA wrestlers had a good start in the ring by winning their first match of the long weekend. Matcha used a Saito Suplex on Mizuki, Lee threw Arisu Endo aside with a German Suplex and Diana pinned Pom Harajuku with a Modified Neckbreaker called the DN. Diana said she is happy to debut in TJPW because Japan is the leading pro wrestling country in Asia. Lee thinks the three of them make a good team together. Matcha wants to keep the momentum going so all three of them can head home each carrying a championship belt.

The trainee Konatsu will make her debut on 1st June. She was originally introduced to fans back in October 2024. Since she is from Hamamatsu City in Shizuoka her debut match will be at the nearby Chunichi Hall in Nagoya on 1st June. She told the fans she will do her best for the once in a lifetime debut match close to her hometown.

The next “TJPW INSPIRATION” show will be held on 28th June at TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi. It will be TJPW’s first show at the new venue. The first match announced is Tae Honma & Miyuki Takase Vs Yoshiko Hasegawa & Kaya Toribami.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 06/01/2024
Shinjuku FACE
374 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Miyu Yamashita & Yuki Aino defeated HIMAWARI & Toga when Yamashita pinned HIMAWARI with the Attitude Adjustment (11:36).
2. Pom Harajuku defeated Kuishinbo Kamen with a School Boy (6:22).
3. Special Single Match: Masha Slamovich Vs Max The Impaler ended in a No Contest (10:28).
4. Battle Royal To Win The Right To Challenge The Princess Of Princess Champion: Miu Watanabe defeated Mizuki, Rika Tatsumi, Shoko Nakajima and Yuki Kamifuku (24:00).

4b. Rika Tatsumi eliminated Mizuki by Over The Top Rope (14:26).
4c. Yuki Kamifuku eliminated Rika Tatsumi with a Kintaro Clutch (20:32).
4d. Miu Watanabe eliminated Yuki Kamifuku with the Tear Drop (24:00).

The challenger for “GRAND PRINCESS ’24” at Sumo Hall has been determined. Miu Watanabe won the Battle Royal to become the No. 1 Contender for the Princess Of Princess Title! The match went on with the champion Miyu Yamashita watching on nearby. Mizuki eliminated Shoko Nakajima by using the Cutie Special on the apron to bounce her out of the ring. Mizuki then didn’t last much longer because when she climbed the turnbuckles, Rika Tatsumi knocked her to the floor with a Hip Attack. Tatsumi and Watanabe then fought each other in a Daydream battle until Yuki Kamifuku slipped in and pinned Tatsumi with a Kintaro Clutch out of nowhere. Kamifuku then tried to give Watanabe the Famouser but she was caught on her opponent’s shoulders. A Victory Roll attempt was then blocked and Watanabe spun Kamifuku around with a Giant Swing. The finish came after that when Watanabe pinned her with the Tear Drop.

So now the stage is set for 31st March. Watanabe will face Yamashita for the Princess Title at Ryogoku! Watanabe said she loves Tokyo Joshi Pro so she will do whatever it takes to win the title and make the show a success. She feels the weight of the challenge because it is happening on the 10th year of TJPW. Yamashita said backstage she is not planning to travel for the next three months so she intends to wrestle all of her matches in Japan during this period. She will never lose so she asks Watanabe to come and beat her at Sumo Hall with all of her might.

There was no longer any death matches scheduled for the show after Hikari Noa was pulled but Masha Slamovich Vs Max The Impaler ended up going out of control anyway. They fought out of the ring and threw each other into rows of chairs. Max brought a chair into the ring and the referee stopped them from using it. When Max shoved the ref away, Slamovich then grabbed a chair and hit Max with it. The ref then shouted warnings at her and got shoved aside. The match had to be called off while Max and Slamovich were still fighting out of the ring towards the lobby. Later backstage when things calmed down Slamovich was able to comment on the match. She said a No Contest means there is still work to be done between her and Max. They can do it at Sumo Hall, in Philadelphia or anywhere else! Wherever a rematch takes place, Slamovich promises to have a surprise in store for Max.

Pom Harajuku is so much like Kuishinbo Kamen. Perhaps a little too much even. She entered the ring wearing her own Kamen mask as well as a lei made out of packs of candy. The two wrestled a comedy match that dragged the referee into it. The ref ended up kicking Kamen and Harajuku rolled him up with a School Boy to win. Harajuku said Kamen is awesome and they are so similar even she couldn’t tell who was who. Kamen said at the time Harajuku debut he thought her gimmick overlapped with his. He was glad to have a match with her and doesn’t want today to be the only time it happens. The two agreed to team up next time and decided to dance their way home together.

The show opened up with Yamashita teaming up with Yuki Aino so the two champions could take on HIMAWARI & Toga. The match was put together to celebrate the first anniversary of HIMAWARI’s TJPW debut. Aino dropped Toga with the Venus DDT and Yamashita pinned HIMAWARI with the Attitude Adjustment.

Haru Kazashiro joined Sayuri Namba for the show opening announcements. Namba asked Kazashiro to predict the main event. Kazashiro couldn’t pick a winner because she originally thought it was going to be Maki Itoh, who was pulled from the show on short notice due to injury.

There is going to be another TJPW show in Philadelphia during Wrestlemania Week. The second show will also include the women from GCW working with them. “GCW Vs TJPW” will be held in Penns Landing Caterers Auditorium on 6th April.
