3. Yuki Kamifuku & Nagisa Nozaki Vs X & X

The idol to pro wrestling pipeline continues to pay off for Tokyo Joshi Pro. They will soon be bringing in Shiori Futaba from Congrazie! so she can take part in her debut match. She and Congrazie! were part of the Tokyo Idol Festival shows that TJPW held two months ago. Futaba even briefly held the Iron Man Title for two minutes back then. She wants to go through with this because she felt a connection with fans doing that show and she would like to have Shoko Nakajima be part of her match. No decision has been made if this will become a regular thing for Futaba or just a one time match.

DDT Around The World – September 2026

October 1, 2026

It’s a very light month this month. So much so that I kept by the news of Konosuke Takshita losing a championship in New Japan to this article just so I had something a little more to write about. It’s probably going to be even more quiet until Tokyo Joshi Pro goes on its Texas tour again. Unless Takeshita enters the Continental Classic again, there’s really just Yuki Kamifuku travelling around Asia one more time to keep an eye on.

————————————————————————

Videos

Konosuke Takeshita In AEW Playlist


NJPW “DESTRUCTION IN KOBE”, 27/09/2026
Kobe World Memorial Hall
4,870 Fans – Super No Vacancy

6. NJPW WORLD TV Title: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA (c) Vs Shun Skywalker

————————————————————————


SPW “OVERDRIVE”, 18/09/2026
Foo Chow Building, Singapore

1. Queen Of Asia Title – 3 Way Match: Ms. Selina (c) defeated Mizuki and Crystal (?:??).
*V1 for Ms. Selina.

Mizuki made a new friend during her trip to Singapore but wasn’t able to come home with the Queen Of Asia Title. That new friend wasn’t the champion Ms. Selina or the other challenger Crystal. It was Lio Rush! Probably helps that she didn’t understand his disturbed ranting half of the time. On the bright side, Rush sees Mizuki as someone to be protected so better to have him on your side than not I suppose.


NJPW “DESTRUCTION IN KOBE”, 27/09/2026
Kobe World Memorial Hall
4,870 Fans – Super No Vacancy

6. NJPW World TV Title: Shun Skywalker defeated KONOSUKE TAKESHITA (c) with the Skyfall (10:12).
*KONOSUKE TAKESHITA fails in V5. Shun Skywalker becomes the 11th NJPW WORLD TV Champion!

It’s been a nice but the time has come for Takeshita to have his last championship taken away from him. At the end of the G1 tournament, Shun Skywalker entered NJPW at Takeshita’s expense and set forth the path to an NJPW World TV Title match between the two. They’ve had one or two meetings before in America when their overseas excursions crossed over a couple years back but this was the first time a large audience would get to see the two wrestle each other one on one. Skywalker threw powder into Takeshita’s face and had the likes of Ren Narita & Dick Togo at ringside to interfere for him. Takeshita couldn’t fight off the numbers provided by the House Of Torture and lost to Skywalker’s new wonky looking finishing move, the Skyfall (aka “We have a Destino at home”). Skywalker bragged backstage that he dropped the former G1 winner Takeshita from the heavens in under 15 minutes and said New Japan shouldn’t be happy that one of their titles was taken by an outsider so easily. He has since teased vacating the belt several times because he’s already achieved his goal regarding it.

Upcoming Appearances


SPW “ONSLAUGHT”, 13/11/2026
Foo Chow Building, Singapore

1. Yuki Kamifuku & Alexis Lee Vs Ms. Selina & Kylie Devyn

The Southeast Asia wrestling scene means a lot for Yuki Kamifuku. She’s done a lot for the women’s side of the industry in places like Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. SPW and their Queen Of Asia Title did a lot to level up Kamifuku as a wrestler without her having to fight and grind in TJPW. She comes to SPW one more time to team up with Alexis Lee again, this time to face the current Queen Of Asian Champ Ms. Selinga and Russian wrestler Kylie Devyn.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW TEXAS STAMPEDE II – IT AIN’T OUR FIRST RODEO! – HOUSTON PART 1”, 04/12/2026
Pasadena Rodeo Arena, Pasadena, Texas, USA

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW TEXAS STAMPEDE II – IT AIN’T OUR FIRST RODEO! – HOUSTON PART 2”, 05/12/2026
Pasadena Rodeo Arena, Pasadena, Texas, USA

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW TEXAS STAMPEDE II – IT AIN’T OUR FIRST RODEO! – DALLAS”, 06/12/2026
Forney ISD The OC, Forney, Texas, USA

Added to the shows are Shoko Nakajima, Shino Suzuki, Mifu Ashida and Uta Takami.

We can probably add VertVixen to the lineup. She’s definitely helping Tokyo Story USA with promoting the show in Texas. They were at the Tokyo X convention in Houston near the end of the month and got the big name voice actress Masako Nozawa to give the tour some attention!

Cancelled Appearances

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “LOVE & PEACE”, 31/10/2026
Malaysia

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “LOVE & PEACE”, 01/11/2026
Malaysia

TJPW’s association with the “LOVE & PEACE” idol festival in Malaysia was supposed to continue again this year with two wrestling shows being held over there. The entire event has been cancelled over a situation with the organization and the site it was meant to be held in. Unfortunately that called off the entire Malaysian tour for TJPW and the wrestlers planned for those shows will remain in Japan and go back to their normal schedule.

Next Generation Tournament ’26

September 30, 2026

The fourth annual Next Generation Tournament is open to the members of Tokyo Joshi Pro who have debuted in 2025 or 2026. That means the field is made up of four wrestlers: Ren Konatsu, Shion Kanzaki, Momo Sato and the yet to debut Chieri Sakimori. Just like last year it will be a Double Elimination tournament so wrestlers would have to lose two matches in order to be knocked out of the running. The schedule is laid out for a final to take place where one wrestler only needs to win once while their opponent would have to beat them twice.

This comes after Soma Takao finished up his contract with DDT to take up the career path that Shota is currently on.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHINJUKU FACE COUNTDOWN SERIES – I WON’T CRY THERE’S NO WAY I WILL CRY” Results

September 27, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHINJUKU FACE COUNTDOWN SERIES – I WON’T CRY THERE’S NO WAY I WILL CRY”, 27/09/2026
Shinjuku FACE
500 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Shoko Nakajima defeated Momo Sato with the Northern Lights Suplex (5:19).
2. HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida defeated Ren Konatsu & Shion Kanzaki when Ashida pinned Kanzaki with the Cheerful Kick (11:02).
3. 3 Way Match: Raku defeated Mizuki and Pom Harajuku when Raku pinned Harajuku with the Hurricane Turn (8:47).
4. Shinjuku FACE Memorial 6-Woman Tag Match – “I ♡ Shinjuku FACE” Fall Rules: Hyper Misao, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami defeated Mahiro Kiryu, Toga & Kira Summer when Misao pinned Summer with the I Am A Hero (13:08).
5. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Wakana Uehara with the Diving Famouser (10:34).
6. Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Sakura Hattori defeated Yuki Aino, Haru Kazashiro & Chika Nanase when Tatsumi pinned Nanase with the Daydream Eternity (15:23).
7. CASPA Presents Tag Match: Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Yuki Arai & Miyu Yamashita when Suzume pinned Arai with the Ring A Bell (17:08).

Today’s double header in Shinjuku FACE is the chance for DDT and Tokyo Joshi Pro to say their goodbyes to the venue as part of the Shinjuku FACE Countdown Series. TJPW were up first with their go home show for “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII”. It is here that Suzume scored a clean and direct pinfall over Yuki Arai while Arisu Endo got a boost in confidence going up against Miyu Yamashita. It helps that Daisy Monkey has the better experience with tagging together than Arai & Yamashita do. Yamashita accidentaly got Arai with a High Kick and Daisy Monkey took advantage, isolating Arai until Suzume could pin her with the Ring A Bell. Afterward Suzume praised Arai for being strong but also said she now found the path to beating her for the Princess Of Princess Title. Arai accepts that she still has room to grow stronger and she will be the one still standing next week. Yamashita on the other hand is having lots of fun wrestling Endo and can’t help but get excited just from seeing the smile on Endo’s face. Endo told her she will give Yamashita goosebumps in their EVE International Title match.

Daydream seems to have gotten over their relationship trouble and are now back on the same page. There was still tension between Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi at the start of their match, particularly when it came to who wanted fight Chika Nanase more. But Daydream got back in sync to stop an attack from Yuki Aino and hugged each other to show their problems are now water under the bridge. Sakura Hattori did her part to set Daydream up for the victory too. Tatsumi says the team’s bond has grown stronger and nobody can break it now. Aino told Haru Kazashiro they need to go do some serious training at a particular place if they want to beat Daydream next week. When Tatsumi heard that she said there is not enough time left for Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed to get strong enough.

The final singles match between Yuki Kamifuku and Wakana Uehara got a bit heated at the beginning. Uehara blocked an Eye Poke attempt from Kamifuku. Then when she offered out her hands for a handshake, Kamifuku slapped her across the face instead. Uehara tried using the Banana Pillow to win and even got to move Kamiyu back to the centre of the ring. But Kamiyu fought for the rope break, avoided the Sushi Tornado and won the match with the Diving Famouser. After the match she approached Uehara for a hug only to push her away and give her the middle fingers Stone Cold style. Backstage she admitted she’s been keeping her distance from Uehara ever since Ober Eats lost the Princess Tag Team Titles. It was all to make Uehara learn how to stand on her own two feet. She compares it to a lion pushing its cub out of the den and she is glad to see Uehara is growing without her. Uehara said she is now really fired up for her and Toga to fight VENYU next week.

Match #4 featured all of the active TJPW wrestlers who made their debuts in Shinjuku FACE. Both teams agreed to add a special rule to the match for the occasion. A wrestler would have to shout out their love for Shinjuku FACE or something they like about the venue before applying a pin in order for it to count. A wrestler could do the same while they are trapped in a submission hold to get out of it as if it was a rope break. During the match Uta Takami said you can the the ring from anywhere in the room and they also sell delicious ice cream. Mahiro Kiryu apologised for the weird rules before saying the venue is packed with pro wrestling history. Kira Summer praised the staff for working hard to explain things to her in English. Shino Suzuki said it is a warm venue and very welcoming even if you forget your wrestling costume. Kiryu told a story about having her debut here in front of friends and family but Suzuki cut her off because it was too long. Hyper Misao brought up that she cut a promo in her debut match here and that’s why she is still here today. It was also where Misao suddenly declared her retirement then changed her mind so the six wrestlers agreed to pause the match and “graduate” from Shinjuku FACE by bowing together in gratitude for the staff and everything else in the building. Misao then shouted that she loves Shinjuku FACE and went on to pin Summer for the victory.

Before the 3 Way Match began, Pom Harajuku stole both Mizuki’s Pico Pico Hammer and Raku’s pillow. She laid both in the middle of the ring and challenged the two to play a Hit And Cover version of Rock Paper Scissors where the winner gets to grab their weapon and hit the loser with it. Mizuki and Raku got annoyed with the game and both decided to hit Harajuku with their weapons instead. There was also a point Harajuku had both of her shoes taken off as well as one of Raku’s. Everyone then tried to fight each other armed with one shoe each.

The entire locker room gathered together at the end of the show. Yamashita said getting to Shinjuku FACE was the first goal TJPW wanted to accomplish in their early years. Back then there wasn’t as many roster members or fans in the audience but over time TJPW grew and is now able to sell out their shows. Yamashita believes Shinjuku FACE played a huge role in making TJPW what it is today and it is sad to see the venue go away.

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

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

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

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

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

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW FALL TOUR ~RAY OF HOPE IN TAKASAKI~” Results

September 23, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW FALL TOUR ~RAY OF HOPE IN TAKASAKI~”, 23/09/2026
Gunma G-Messe Main Hall BC
297 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Wakana Uehara defeated Shion Kanzaki with the Banana Pillow (8:24).
2. Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Hyper Misao & Ren Konatsu when Raku pinned Konatsu with the Doctor Yellow (9:36).
3. Mizuki defeated Momo Sato with the Southern Cross (7:52).
4. 3 Way Match: Shoko Nakajima defeated Arisu Endo and Shino Suzuki when Nakajima pinned Suzuki with an Inverted Hurricanrana (8:08).
5. Yuki Aino, Haru Kazashiro & Uta Takami defeated Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Kira Summer when Aino pinned Summer with the Venus DDT (12:27).
6. Yuki Arai, HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida defeated Suzume, Toga & Chika Nanase when Arai submitted Nanase with the Scorpion Death Lock (15:04).
7. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Miyu Yamashita & Sakura Hattori when Kiryu pinned Hattori with the Spinebuster (12:51).

This year’s show in Gunma made Mahiro Kiryu more emotional than it usually would. It is not only her homecoming show but was the last time she and Yuki Kamifuku were teaming up together in the area as the Toyo Mates before Kamifuku retires at the end of the year. During the main event Kiryu tried to do her Dogeza Knee Drop onto Miyu Yamashita but Yamashita started to power herself out of it. Kamiyu stopped that by poking Yamashita in the eye and then she knelt onto Sakura Hattori so she could join in on the apology. Kiryu apologised to everyone for all of the times Kamiyu blinded her opponents over the last nine years. Kamifuku saved Kiryu from taking a German Suplex from Yamashita and the two got rid of Yamashita with a Wheelbarrow/Famouser combo. Kiryu was then able to beat Hattori by herself giving Toyo Mates something of an upset win over K!SS//.

After the match Kiryu talked about how she and Kamifuku are the same age and went to Toyo University at the same time but were complete strangers to each other until they met through Tokyo Joshi Pro. Now that this match is over it’s finally hitting Kiryu that Kamifuku is retiring soon. Kamifuku said when she was looking for a tag team partner she wanted a beautiful and stylish older sister type like her first tag partner Yuna Manase. She thought Kiryu was ordinary, plain and had no standout qualities but seeing her today full of confidence and proudly fighting a main event match in front of her hometown is so cool! Kamifuku can now graduate from TJPW with peace of mind knowing that Kiryu has become a cool and tough wrestler.

Yuki Arai won another prelim match against Suzume, making Chika Nanase tap out to the Scorpion Death Lock while Mifu Ashida held Suzume back from breaking the hold. Arai can feel the momentum building up behind her but she expects Suzume to kick things up a notch for the remaining matches before “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII”. Arai is now thinking she might hold a side of herself Suzume hasn’t seen yet back until then. Suzume said watching Arai win the match right in front of her has lit a fire inside as she gathers clues on how to beat her. By the time they fight for the Princess Of Princess Title, Suzume is sure she will win it.

The arguments haven’t stopped between Miu Watanabe and Rika Tatsumi. They were bickering over who should start the match today which allowed the other team to get the jump on them. Poor Kira Summer found herself in the middle of Daydream’s problems their attempts to help her out only made things worse. Daydream seemed to finally get on the same page when they both did Backbreakers to Haru Kazashiro & Uta Takami but Tatsumi then complained that the move hurt her too and she started arguing with Watanabe again. Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed took advantage and picked their opponents apart until Yuki Aino pinned Summer with the Venus DDT. Tatsumi chose to help Summer back after the match while Watanabe kept her distance away from her partner. Backstage Daydream apologized to each other but neither were happy with the other’s apology so they stormed off in separate directions while Summer didn’t know what to do.

When Hyper Misao mentioned that she loves the mascot Gunma-chan during her pre-match speech, Pom Harajuku told her that Gunma-chan was here at the show today! It turned out to be Raku wearing a paper Gunma-chan mask. Misao & Ren Konatsu didn’t fall for the trick but Harajuku joined in the fun by wearing a rubber horse mask to fit in with Raku.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW FALL TOUR ~RAY OF HOPE IN RYOGOKU~” Results

September 22, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW FALL TOUR ~RAY OF HOPE IN RYOGOKU~”, 22/09/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
363 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Sakura Hattori defeated Momo Sato with the Shinden Fudo Ryu Majime Ura (5:56).
2. Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami defeated Ren Konatsu & Shion Kanzaki when Takami submitted Kanzaki with the Koala Clutch (9:50).
3. 3 Way Match: Pom Harajuku defeated Raku and HIMAWARI when Harajuku pinned Raku with a Back Rolling Cradle (9:48).
4. Wakana Uehara & Toga defeated Kira Summer & Chika Nanase when Uehara pinned Summer with the Sushi Tornado (10:28).
5. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Mizuki & Yuki Kamifuku when Nakajima pinned Kamifuku with a European Clutch (12:21).
6. Yuki Arai, Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Miyu Yamashita defeated Suzume, Arisu Endo, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro when Arai submitted Suzume with the Scorpion Death Lock (15:28).

This round goes to Yuki Arai. A champions versus challengers 8-Woman Tag ended with Arai blocking the Ring A Bell from Suzume and countering it with the Full Nelson Buster. Then after that Arai made Suzume tap out to the Scorpion Death Lock. Suzume had actually hit her finisher on Arai earlier in the match but Miyu Yamashita broke the pinfall. Daydream had a mishap when Miu Watanabe missed a Batting Hammer swing and hit Rika Tatsumi by accident. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro took advantage of that to clear them out of the ring but weren’t able to save Suzume from submitting to Arai. Yamashita also held the EVE International Title up after the match for Arisu Endo to see. Endo responded by hitting Yamashita with an Elbow Strike. Meanwhile Daydream started squabbling over who should speak on the microphone. They ended up dropping it and Tatsumi walked away to be by herself. Arai tried to cheer everyone up to close out the show. Yamashita joined in while Tatsumi and Watanabe made sure to keep a distance from one another.

Yesterday was Respect For The Aged Day in Japan so Pom Harajuku was dressed like a grandad for her match and encouraged Raku to dress up like a grandma. The result of this was HIMAWARI getting booed whenever she attacked her seniors.

Mifu Ashida was unable to make the show today and had to miss out on the match above. She had been working abroad recently and the typhoon weather in Japan cancelled her flight home.

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

The Kanda Myojin temple has been a busy location regarding Tokyo Joshi Pro this week. TJPW held a press conference there yesterday to promote three of the title matches taking place at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII” next month. Suzume said TJPW has taught her that she can pursue as many dreams as she wants no matter her age which is why she is greedy enough to challenge for the Princess Of Princess Title while also holding the International Princess Title. She thinks back to when she and Yuki Arai were younger. While Arai was performing on stage as a shining idol, Suzume was a shut in doing nothing but giving up on her dreams. Now the two will fight each other over the same dream and Suzume believes they will have the best match at EBARA WAVE Arena on 3rd October. Arai is so impressed by how much Suzume has grown not just in strength but also radiating with confidence. Arai admits she cannot match that drive but she will be entering the match as if she is the one challenging Suzume, not the other way around. Her goal is not to stop Suzume’s momentum or halt her progress. Instead she wants to create a new whirlwind that will propel herself even higher than Suzume!

One half of Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed is having a crisis of confidence heading into the Princess Tag Team Titles match. The prelim matches have made Haru Kazashiro consider that she is not on Daydream’s level and her own weaknesses have been exposed too much. Yuki Aino had to interrupt and motivate her, reminding Kazashiro of the Kamen Rider Hibiki episode where it is said that if you do not train your heart to be strong then you will lose. Kazashiro also remembers a quote from Kamen Rider Ghost about how you haven’t lost yet when you don’t think you lost. Prism Greed got even more motivated when they discovered Daydream when combined together look just like Evolt, the bad guy from Kamen Rider Build. Rika Tatsumi thinks it is cute that Prism Greed act like a newly dating couple. She wouldn’t mind if Miu Watanabe acted more affectionate towards her. But enough about that, the prelim matches have been a breeze for Daydream and beating small fry teams is part of what they need to do to break the record for most Princess Tag Title defences. Watanabe believes it is destiny for the strongest tag team to achieve that.

The EVE International Title match is kind of turning into a war of words about fashion. By representing EVE as one of their champions, Miyu Yamashita wants to defend the title and become a sophisticated woman worthy of Great Britain. She pointed out that the super colorful outfit Arisu Endo was wearing would stand out too much in the UK. She doesn’t deny that Endo has great fashion taste but she wouldn’t blend into the streets of London like Yamashita does with her current chic look. Yamashita’s mind is so set on representing the UK that even her watch is on English time instead of Japan. Endo warned Yamashita not to get jetlag over this because she wants to beat her at her best otherwise she wouldn’t be satisfied with taking the title from a sleepy champion. She also thinks Yamashita’s chic outfit is so plain and bland. There are so many colours in the world that Yamashita should at least use some of them. Yamashita fired back that Endo is so flashy that she’s exhausting to look at. By British standards her outfit would be 43 points out of 100.

In other news Kumadori’s dance group O-MENZ will be part of the show, performing during the entrance of Kumadori’s team with Aja Kong & Sakura Hattori.
