Every match on the show had a 7 minute time limit which led to quite a few draws among the closely fought contests. Yuka Sakazaki Vs Hikari Noa, Shoko Nakajima Vs Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino Vs Nao Kakuta and the 3 Way Match all went the distance and ended without winners.

Hyper Misao challenged Raku to a Hyper Train Quiz. Every time someone got a two count pin, they would have to correctly answer a question about the Osaka trainline to win the match. Raku is the resident expert about trains in Tokyo Joshi Pro but Misao pulled off the upset!


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION” Results

December 10, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 10/12/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
202 Fans

1. Mahiro Kiryu defeated Haruna Neko with the Spinebuster (7:50).
2. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi defeated Pom Harajuku with a Cross Armbreaker (10:26).
3. Hardcore Match: Hikari Noa defeated Nao Kakuta with the Blizzard Suplex onto a Chair (17:14).
4. MagiRabi Vs TropicaWild: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated SAKI & Yuna Mizumori when Mizuki pinned Mizumori with the Diving Foot Stomp (17:35).

Inspiration is back for its third go around. This time it was The Magical Sugar Rabbits getting to explore outside the realms of Tokyo Joshi Pro for opponents. They defeated the TropicaWild team of SAKI & Yuna Mizumori. It was a reunion for Mizuki and SAKI because they started wrestling together as a team called Buribato♡. They hadn’t been in the ring together for the last four years until today. Yuka Sakazaki described the match as amazing and she felt it had the energy of a championship defence. SAKI also had fun with the match while Mizumori will never forgive herself if she never gets to wrestle MagiRabi again.

In a very rare sight the TJPW mat saw bloodshed when Hikari Noa and Nao Kakuta fought in a Hardcore Match. Noa was busted open midway through in a match where ladders, chairs, CDs and glow sticks were all used as weapons. But Noa toughed it out in her second ever Hardcore match and had her arm raised in victory at the end. Kakuta also expressed an interest in doing more hardcore matches but next time she wants to be teaming with Noa.

The match before that could not have been any more different. Pom Harajuku and Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi spent just as much time in the ring singing, dancing and meditating than they did wrestle each other. Playtime was cut off when Hiroshi threw Harajuku to the mat and locked in a Cross Armbreaker to submit her. Hiroshi still praised her and described her as a very strong martial artist.

The opening match was familiar fare for TJPW. Although it was a first time ever singles match between Mahiro Kiryu and Haruna Neko.

GANBARE☆PRO “YUMEHITO IMANARI PRODUCE ~GANBARE PRIME 2021~”, 10/01/2022

6. Hardcore Mixed Tag 1 DAY Tournament – Final: X & X Vs X & X

I should have expected Yumehito Imanari to bring back Pocchari Joshi for his produce show. Yuna Manase takes on Totoro Satsuki from Ice Ribbon. At least for now she is with Ice Ribbon. Not a lot of good news coming out of that place lately.

Hajime was once known as Hajime Nomura from WRESTLE-1. He switched over to an undead facepaint look right around the time W1 collapsed last year. He has since haunted the indie scene and will make his first appearance in Ganpro.


Nodoka Tenma And Marika Kobashi Graduating From TJPW Next Spring

December 6, 2021

Today it was announced that both Nodoka Tenma and Marika Kobashi will be graduating from Tokyo Joshi Pro next year. Tenma will leave the company on 26th March while Kobashi is finishing up on 17th April. Tenma’s graduation is a complete retirement from pro wrestling. Kobashi however says the possibility of a future return to the ring is not at zero percent.

Tenma had been thinking about her future around the time her family started growing their own rice and vegetables as a hobby. Over time it developed into Tenma wanting to get into agriculture and grow food for her hometown Okayama. She had talked to Tetsuya Koda and the company about her plans to retire and when the Sumo Hall show was announced for 19th March, she made it her final goal as a pro wrestler to be there. She still has things to do in wrestling such as her homecoming show in Okayama on 9th January so she will do her best for her final months. She also wants to make The Bakuretsu Sisters with Yuki Aino become even more explosive by challenging for the Princess Tag Team Titles one more time.

Kobashi made her decision to focus on her education. She’s been wrestling in TJPW since she was 14 years old and today at 20 she is in university. She only has two years left in college and wants to live the student life. While she is graduating from TJPW, she does not want it to be treated as a retirement from wrestling. The time may come in the future where she would like to wrestle again but for now she wants to live her life to the fullest. Kobashi promises to return the love the fans gave her with even more in her final months. She would also like to team with Abdullah Kobayashi because he is one of her favorite wrestlers (Marika’s ring name was never inspired by Kenta Kobashi. It instead came from the “Ko” in Abdullah Kobayashi and “hashi” from Atsushi Ohashi. Kenta Kobashi himself was speechless when he found out about this).

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’22”, 04/01/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Nodoka-oneesan One Day Revival Special Match: Nodoka-oneesan, Yuki Aino & Haruna Neko Vs Marika Kobashi, Raku & Pom Harajuku
2. International Princess Title: Hikari Noa (c) Vs Maki Itoh
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Mizuki

The Ittenyon show will be the 6th Anniversary of Tenma and Kobashi’s debut matches. Tenma originally debuted as Nodoka-oneesan, a gimmick similar to a children’s TV show host who sings and dances. It was meant to appeal to kids and attract that audience to TJPW. It never worked. However it will be brought back for one day only on 4th January.

DDT “DRAMATIC EXPLOSION 2021”, 18/12/2021
Nagoya Congress Center Event Hall

1. Special Single Match – DDT Vs Dera Beppin Pro Wrestling: Saki Akai Vs Papillon Akemi
2. Hardcore Match: Shunma Katsumata Vs Hyper Misao
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Susumu Yokosuka, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Akito
4. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles – Current Blast Death Match: Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari (c) Vs Atsushi Onita, Sanshiro Takagi & Kuro-chan

The bad blood between Pheromones and The Kuronita Army is getting hotter. Atsushi Onita thinks his team are a lock to win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles so he got himself, Sanshiro Takagi and Hisaya Imabayashi (unwillingly standing in for Kuro-chan) to pose with the belts at the press conference. Danshoku Dieno brought up concerns that Imabayashi will interrupt the match and cancel it like he always do. Pheromones attacked Imabayashi to send a warning to their challengers. Onita rescued him and sent Pheromones fleeing. Imabayashi promised to give The Kuronita Army a year end bonus as thanks if they win the titles from Pheromones.

DDT “NEVER MIND 2021 IN YOYOGI”, 26/12/2021
Yoyogi National Stadium 2nd Gymnasium

0. Dark Match – DDTeeeen!! Special Single Match: Ilusion Vs Vent Vert Jack
1. Special Single Match: Shuji Kondo Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. Yukio Sakaguchi Return Match: Yukio Sakaguchi Vs X
3. KO-D Tag Team Titles: HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Yuji Hino & Bodyguard
4. DDT Universal Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Masahiro Takanashi
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs Yuji Okabayashi

The final big DDT show of 2021 has its title matches decided. Konosuke Takeshita and Yuji Okabayashi have their rematch, this time with the KO-D Openweight Title is on the line. Their D-Ou Grand Prix match ended in a 30 minute draw but the rematch will have a 60 minute limit. Kenta Kobashi was a fan of that match and hopes the rematch will be just as exciting. There also won’t be a lot of opportunities for Takeshita and Okabayashi to wrestle each other before the show because Okabayashi has his own schedule with Big Japan keeping him busy.

With his grudge against Soma Takao out of the way, Daisuke Sasaki faces an unlikely next challenger. Masahiro Takanashi gets a DDT Universal Title match on the recommendation of his friend Chris Brookes. Sasaki thought Takanashi had retired and went to work somewhere in Ichigaya. But he was convinced to put the title on the line against him.

The new powerhouse team of Yuji Hino & Bodyguard challenge DISASTER BOX for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. This is coming off of a poor tournament for both HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura. HARASHIMA finished with zero wins while Yoshimura lost to both Hino & Bodyguard in their block. Even if having no momentum wasn’t a problem, the champions still have two big mountains to climb.

No injury is going to stop Yukio Sakaguchi for long.

Minoru Suzuki and Maku Donaruto will be on the show. Imagine if they get paired together.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’22”, 04/01/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. International Princess Title: Hikari Noa (c) Vs Maki Itoh
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Mizuki

Two years ago Maki Itoh defended the International Princess Title against Hikari Noa on 4th January. Two years later the match will happen again but this time the roles are flipped. Noa is the champion looking to extend her record setting title reign and get one step closer towards defending it in a death match. Itoh however believes the belt belongs to her because of her international fame and it should not be turned into a death match championship.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2021 AUTUMN ~KACHO GETSURO~” Results

December 4, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2021 AUTUMN ~KACHO GETSURO~”, 04/12/2021
Shinjuku FACE
233 Fans – Super No Vcancy Full House

1. Miu Watanabe & Haruna Neko defeated Yuki Aino & Pom Harajuku when Watanabe pinned Harajuku with the Tear Drop (9:47).
2. Hikari Noa & Raku defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Noa pinned Kiryu with the Blizzard Suplex (9:55).
3. Yuka Sakazaki defeated Marika Kobashi with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (12:00).
4. International Princess Title Next Challenger Decision Time Difference Battle Royal: Maki Itoh defeated Nodoka Tenma with the Itoh Deluxe (20:20).
Order Of Elimination: Nao Kakuta, Rika Tatsumi, Yuki Arai, Hyper Misao, Shoko Nakajima, Suzume and Nodoka Tenma.
5. Miyu Yamashita & Moka Miyamoto defeated Mizuki & Arisu Endo when Yamashita pinned Endo with the Skull Kick (14:03).

The first skirmish between Miyu Yamashita and Mizuki before their Princess Of Princess Title match saw Yamashita as the victor. While Mizuki got some good shots in with the Diving Double Stomp, Yamashita had the last laugh by German Suplexing her and pinning Arisu Endo with the Skull Kick. Yamashita praised Moka Miyamoto for her assists in the match and said she cannot afford to lose against Mizuki. That desperation is motivating her to fight hard before 4th January. She doesn’t know how many more matches she has until then but she will go crazy for every bout. Mizuki likes beating strong opponents and is starting to feel excited. She wants to make Tokyo Joshi Pro a sunny place but she has to get rid of a thunder storm named Miyu Yamashita to do it.

The Battle Royal result must be fate because the International Princess Title is calling out to Maki Itoh. At least that is what she thinks. She gets to challenge Hikari Noa for the title at Korakuen Hall on 4th January. A similar scenario happened at the Ittenyon show two years ago when Itoh was the champion defending against Noa. But this time the roles are flipped. Noa believes she is the best in the world now and she will make Itoh know she is only number two. Itoh says the belt is an international championship, not a deathmatch one so it should belong to her.

Yuki Arai got a little bit of revenge on Rika Tatsumi by eliminating her from the Battle Royal. Tatsumi was standing on the apron after going over the rop rope and Arai kicked her to the floor with a Big Boot.

The random match draw for the 11th December show in Azalea Taisho Hall was held before today’s event began. Some matches of note are a rematch between Nodoka Tenma and Shoko Nakajima, today’s tag partners Yamashita and Miyamoto being drawn against each other and Noa getting a match against Yuka Sakazaki. Endo helped Sayuri Namba with the draw and by coincidence became the last name picked out of the bag. She is in the 3 Way Match with Suzume and Marika Kobashi.

5. DDT Universal Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Soma Takao
6. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – Final: Yuki Ueno Vs Konosuke Takeshita

Since Kenta Kobashi will be in attendance to see the D-Ou Grand Prix final, Tetsuya Endo decided to visit him at his gym during the week to get some feedback on his tournament performance. Endo also brought up his plans to create a new unit. He asked Kobashi for advice, citing Kobashi’s experience leading units such as GET and Burning. Kobashi said a unit needs a strategist so Endo’s position would improve if he finds a councilor. Endo immediately asked Kobashi if he could take that role in the unit. Kobashi declined because he is not interested in returning to the ring. He did however invite Endo back to his gym again after the Grand Prix so they could talk more about potential members for Endo’s new unit.

While I’ve been writing up this blog post, all of a sudden DDT sends out a tweet in English hyping up a big mystery name. “That BIG NAME that everyone’s talking about recently will be at DDT 12.26 NEVER MIND 2021 in YOYOGI! The name will be announced at DDT 12.5 Korakuen Hall! Stay tuned LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE!” I’m out of the loop on this one.

Banana Senga scored a big win on the last show when he pinned Isami Kodaka in their tag match. He later stepped up to challenge Ryota Nakatsu next for the Union MAX Title. Around five years ago Nakatsu broke Senga’s jaw in a match and while he accepts the blame over the injury, he doesn’t think he is responsible now to pay for any compensation towards Senga. Instead he is willing to defend the MAX Title against him.

Usually every Christmas Tokyo Joshi Pro puts together some special matches that are randomly chosen by lottery. They are doing this format a little earlier this year but this time around it is for the entire show! Ten matches, each one with a seven minute time limit, will all be randomly chosen on 4th December. There are 21 wrestlers available so one of the matches is a 3 Way Match so there will be nobody left out.

The final Ganbare☆Pro show of the year is happening on Christmas Day featuring friends old and new. Mizuki Watase and Tyson Maeguchi are included in Ganpro’s signature match, the Survival Tag.

Miku Aono and Misa Matsui are both from Actwres girl’Z. Hey if Ganpro wants to gather together all the AWG girls and make Ganbare☆Joshi their new home then I’d be fine with that.
