There should be no need to explain who Tsukasa Fujimoto is at this point. She has been a central figure for the company for so long now. Teaming with her is the brand new rookie Kirari Wakana. The 18 year old only just had her debut match earlier this month and is already getting some good results her way. Yuna Manase & YuuRI better watch out and not take her lightly.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP” Results

July 28, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 28/07/2024
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
347 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Shoko Nakajima, Raku, HIMAWARI, Haru Kazashiro & Uta Takami defeated Zara Zakher, Wakana Uehara, Toga, Kira Summer & Chika Nanase when Raku pinned Nanase with the Doctor Yellow (8:40).
2. Maki Itoh & Pom Harajuku defeated Rika Tatsumi & Mahiro Kiryu when Itoh pinned Kiryu with the Itoh Clutch (11:55).
3. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Yuki Aino defeated Runa Okubo with the Venus DDT (4:56).
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Suzume defeated Shino Suzuki with the Ring A Bell (7:09).
5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Yuki Arai defeated Kaya Toribami with the Finally (8:38).
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Mizuki defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Diving Foot Stomp (12:28).
7. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Miu Watanabe defeated Arisu Endo with the Foot Stomp (14:38).

The 11th annual Tokyo Princess Cup began with a mixture of matches from Round 1 and Round 2 due to the number of entrants creating an uneven tournament bracket to work off of. The big match of the opening round was Miu Watanabe against Arisu Endo in a battle of champions. Endo’s moves couldn’t land a decisive blow and it came down to Watanabe using the Tear Drop to win. She pointed out she has had a singles match against Endo every year that Endo has been around for so it was fate for them to have it here. She’ll be facing Zara Zacker in Round 2 and is keeping a strong attitude so she can accomplish the ultimate grand slam in Tokyo Joshi Pro. Arisu thought this would be the year she would finally beat Watanabe but in the end she lost. She thinks she was still able to show how much she has improved since last year. She wants to be frustrated but she doesn’t have time to feel depressed over it.

Over in Round 2 Mizuki is among the early wrestlers to already qualify for the Quarter Finals thanks to her win against Moka Miyamoto. The Cutie Special followed by the Diving Foot Stomp was the difference maker. Mizuki always wants to be number one but she also has more desires beyond that. She was excited to discover just how much Miyamoto has grown and it makes her want to fight even more so she can become number one again. Miyamoto finds herself down at the bottom again. She just recently lost a Princess Tag Team Titles match and now got eliminated early in the Princess Cup. Her only solution is to keep working harder and get stronger to win more.

Back in Round 1 Yuki Arai took care of Kaya Toribami in a match between wrestlers who debuted only a month away from each other. Arai dodged the 2nd Rope Rolling Senton and gave Toribami the Full Nelson Buster followed by the Finally for the three count. Arai always wanted to have a singles match with Toribami and could feel her determination to win. Arai will now face Wakana Uehara in Round 2. They teamed together in this year’s Max Heart Tournament but Arai will not let anyone stop her from reaching the top four again for a second year in a row. Toribami said she did not feel any panic today and was able to do her best. She wonders if the difference comes from Arai being a champion?

The other girl to start from Round 2 and advance straight on to the Quarter Finals is Suzume. She defeated Shino Suzuki to take this path. They’ve wrestled each other countless times already so Suzume knows just how persistent Suzuki can be. She thinks it even gave her a passionate boost today as she waits to find out who she will face in the Quarter Final. Suzuki said she fought with everything she had but still lost. She does not know if she’s grown at all since her first singles match which was also against Suzume.

A fresh red hair dye job complimented Yuki Aino’s victory over Runa Okubo in Round 1. The rookie tried beating Aino with a Crab Hold and Elbow Strikes but Aino took her down with a Bulldog Headlock before pinning her with the Venus DDT. Aino is pleased to finally advance past the opening round after getting knocked out of it for the past two years. now moves on to fight Shoko Nakajima in Round 2. It is a match that both women are looking forward to. Okubo admitted she lost the match in both strength and momentum. All she’s feeling now is frustration.

Yuki Kamifuku was feeling unwell and could not be at the show today. Her Round 2 match against Pom Harajuku has been postponed until 3rd August. Harajuku was moved to Match #2 instead, turning the 3 Way Match into a tag match. She wanted to see the scheduled 3 Way Match anyway and encouraged the other participants to wrestle the match without her. However it was just a trick so Harajuku could get the jump on the other team.

The Tokyo Princess Cup begins this weekend. I don’t think that’s the actual match order. If it is then that’s weird for a tournament to begin with the second round before the first.

Tokyo Princess Cup 2024 Brackets

July 25, 2024

The bracket drawing for the Tokyo Princess Cup was held in Shibuya during the week with the majority of the entrants in attendance. Those who could not be there for various reasons included Ryo Mizunami, Yuki Arai, Suzume, Pom Harajuku, Runa Okubo and Zara Zakher. Everyone who did attend all gave comments about their first matches and tournament goals.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 28/07/2024
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1A: Yuki Arai Vs Kaya Toribami
2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1B: Arisu Endo Vs Miu Watanabe
3. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1C: Runa Okubo Vs Yuki Aino
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2A: Shino Suzuki Vs Suzume
5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2C: Mizuki Vs Moka Miyamoto
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2E: Pom Harajuku Vs Yuki Kamifuku

Yuki Arai and Kaya Toribami debuted in the same year just a month away from each other and are of similar age. They’ve never had a singles match against each other until now and Toribami wants to give it her all so she can win.

Miu Watanabe pointed out she can achieve the Grand Slam of all Tokyo Joshi Pro accomplishments if she can win the Princess Cup. That means winning every TJPW championship and tournament. Arisu Endo is having a lot of tag team success lately but wants to focus on winning a singles tournament by herself this summer.

It’s been a frustrating time for Yuki Aino because she feels there are wresters in TJPW who become so amazing that she is not good enough to fight them. However she knows how many people support her and have high expectations for her. She wants to spend her hot summer smashing through the competition.

Shino Suzuki has had a couple of singles matches against Suzume a few times already but has never beaten her. She will do her best to beat her for the first time.

The two time winner Mizuki says she is aiming to reach the top yet again. However she admits it gets lonely up there so she wants everyone to support her. Moka Miyamoto doesn’t want to let her do that though. She wants to prove she is the best just like Mizuki does.

Every year Yuki Kamifuku tells people she hates competing in tournaments. But recently especially after she reached the final last year fans have encouraged her to do her best. Even her mother scolds her for being so negative about it. So this year Kamifuku is taking a more cheerful approach to being in the tournament.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 03/08/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2B: Winner Of Match 1A Vs Wakana Uehara
2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2D: Winner Of Match 1B Vs Zara Zakher
3. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2F: Winner Of Match 1C Vs Shoko Nakajima
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2G: Rika Tatsumi Vs Toga
5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2H: Haru Kazashiro Vs Ryo Mizunami

Whoever wins between Arai and Toribami, either will be a first time opponent for Wakana Uehara. She is determined to win no matter who she faces.

Zakher’s first match in the tournament will be against either Watanabe or Endo.

She feels bad for saying this but Shoko Nakajima wants Aino to beat Okubo so she can face her in Round 2. After the match she had against Aja Kong, Nakajima feels the need to evolve in order to survive in TJPW. For this tournament she wants to grab a hold of something new and break out of her shell. Even then it won’t mean anything unless she wins the tournament again.

For Rika Tatsumi the Princess Cup is the fastest way for her to get another shot at regaining the Princess Of Princess Title. Whether she fights against rookies or veterans she is going to destroy them all this summer! Toga knows just how crazy Tatsumi gets in her matches. She will try to surpass that craziness to advance to the next round.

Due to scheduling, Ryo Mizunami’s bracket spot was automatically placed in Round 2 in the beginning before any other drawing was picked. Haru Kazashiro is a little scared to be her opponent because of the difference in strength but also thinks she is lucky to get such a big opponent in her first tournament appearance.

Tokyo Princess Cup 2024

June 29, 2024

2024 sees the eleventh edition of the Tokyo Princess Cup taking place with a few outside factors effecting things. 19 entrants are taking part in the single elimination tournament spread across five rounds. The bracket is on a fixed structure until the semi-finals when those pairings will be determined by a lottery.

Miu Watanabe (6th Appearance)
Suzume (5th Appearance)
Arisu Endo (4th Appearance)
Yuki Arai (4th Appearance)
Yuki Kamifuku (6th Appearance)
Mizuki (8th Appearance, 2019 & 2020 Winner)
Shoko Nakajima (11th Appearance, 2015 Winner)
Rika Tatsumi (9th Appearance)
Yuki Aino (6th Appearance)
Pom Harajuku (4th Appearance)
Moka Miyamoto (4th Appearance)
Kaya Toribami (3rd Appearance)
Wakana Uehara (1st Appearance)
Toga (1st Appearance)
Shino Suzuki (1st Appearance)
Haru Kazashiro (1st Appearance)
Runa Okubo (1st Appearance)
Ryo Mizunami (1st Appearance)
Zara Zakher (1st Appearance)

Due to some international bookings taking place around the same time, several TJPW wrestlers will not be entering this year’s tournament. That includes last year’s winner Miyu Yamashita. She along with Raku, Mahiro Kiryu and HIMAWARI are not taking part because they will be wrestling at the “EVE X TJPW” show in England the same weekend as the Princess Cup’s final rounds. Maki Itoh is not entering either because she is touring America with GCW throughout August. Other missing names are because of injury (Hyper Misao and Haruna Neko) or because first year rookies were not included (Chika Nanase, Kira Summer, Uta Takami) Yamashita’s absence means Shoko Nakajima is the last person left to have taken part in all eleven Princess Cup tournaments. Very fitting given her reputation for how well she usually performs in the tournament over the years. Ryo Mizunami is a rare freelance entry and due to her schedule her first match in the tournament must happen on 3rd August. Zara Zakher becomes the first ever foreign wrestler to be included in the field (unless you count Sakisama).

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “PRECIOUS TIME ’24” Results

June 29, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “PRECIOUS TIME ’24”, 29/06/2024
Tokyo Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX
262 Fans

1. Haru Kazashiro defeated Chika Nanase with the Fisherman Suplex (5:29).
2. Wakana Uehara defeated Uta Takami with the Banana Pillow (5:40).
3. Yuki Kamifuku, Mahiro Kiryu & Kira Summer defeated Raku, Pom Harajuku & HIMAWARI when Kamifuku pinned HIMAWARI with the Famouser (10:24).
4. Maki Itoh defeated Runa Okubo with the Itoh Punish (6:37).
5. Nao Kakuta & Yuki Aino defeated Shoko Nakajima & Yoshiko Hasegawa when Kakuta pinned Hasegawa with the Shiden Kai (14:10).
6. Miyu Yamashita & Toga defeated Mizuki & Shino Suzuki when Yamashita pinned Suzuki with the Attitude Adjustment (10:42).
7. Miu Watanabe, Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Rika Tatsumi, Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami when Suzume pinned Toribami with the Ring A Bell (15:18).

Rika Tatsumi made it known that she will be hard to predict for Miu Watanabe leading up to their Princess Of Princess Title match. There were no handshakes from Tatsumi before the main event and she actively avoided being in the ring with Watanabe until she threw Mahiro Kiryu into her at ringside and later cut off Watanabe with the Hip Attack. Meanwhile Moka Miyamoto got plenty of in-ring time with Daisy Monkey although it was Kaya Toribami who took the fall in the end. Suzume & Arisu Endo both said they are fired up for their Princess Tag Titles defence against Miyamoto & Yuki Arai. Watanabe however admits she still can’t get a read on Tatsumi’s battleplan against her. Even though Tatsumi is trying to avoid facing Watanabe, she is confident she will win the title from her on 20th July.

The return of Yoshiko Hasegawa to Tokyo Joshi Pro brought her into the latest match in Nao Kakuta’s graduation series. It might also have been the last time Shoko Nakajima and Yuki Aino got to be in the ring with Kakuta too. Kakuta got the win after hitting Hasegawa with a seated Dropkick followed by the Shiden Kai. The moment must have gotten to Kakuta because she told Aino it was all over after the match. Aino had to remind her she is still around for another month.

The 19 wrestlers entering this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup were announced at the start of the show. They are Yuki Aino, Yuki Arai, Wakana Uehara, Arisu Endo, Runa Okubo, Haru Kazashiro, Yuki Kamifuku, Zara Zakher, Shino Suzuki, Suzume, Rika Tatsumi, Toga, Kaya Toribami, Shoko Nakajima, Pom Harajuku, Mizuki, Ryo Mizunami, Moka Miyamoto and Miu Watanabe.

7. DDT Universal Title: MAO (c) Vs Shiryu

MAO used the GLEAT/DDT show to send a message to Kaz Hayashi. He wants to defend the DDT Universal Title against Hayashi’s masked alter ego from his Michinoku Pro days. That’s right he wants to wrestle Shiryu! MAO thinks it will be fitting for Hayashi to take up the gimmick again and fight for a championship with “Universal” in the name for old time’s sake.

BASARA “BASARA 251 ~UTAGE~”, 21/06/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino Vs Lil’ Kraken & Leo Isaka
2. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura

Perhaps the next challengers for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles will be decided when Aijin Tag takes on the tag team from Tochigi.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2024”, 30/06/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Sanshiro Takagi Indefinite Rest Road ~ Special Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Miyu Yamashita Vs Danshoku Dieno & Maki Itoh
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match ~ BURNING Vs TEAM NOAH!: Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku Vs Go Shiozaki, Atsushi Kotoge & Hi69
3. Road To PETER PAN 2024! Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata Vs MAO & To-y

The build up to “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2024” begins with The 37KAMIINA clashing against each other in tag matches as previews for the big KO-D Openweight Title match. BURNING and TEAM NOAH continue their growing feud too.

It is thanks to Takagi that both Miyu Yamashita and Maki Itoh entered the world of pro wrestling. They get to play a part in his final bunch of matches for the time being. Danshoku Dieno isn’t being left out of this either.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. FIFTEEN: SEHNSUCHT IST SO GRAUSAM”, 02/07/2024
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. Special Single Match: Antonio Honda Vs Mad Dr. Ueki
2. Special Single Match: Mecha Mummy Vs Mr. Bueno
3. Special Single Match: MAO Vs Sayaka Unagi
4. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi Vs Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura

More Astronauts matches to pay attention to in this side of the puro bubble. They are entering the cramped little space that is ARENA Shimokitazawa for what will certainly be a crazy match against CDK.

Sayaka Unagi also joins in the Baka Gaijin + Friends circle for the first time. Perhaps the hardest working self promoter in the business today gets to fight MAO too which is a pretty high profile matchup nowadays.

The newest regular to Baka Gaijin shows is the masked man Mr. Bueno. He impressed with a victory against Antonio Honda on the last show but how will he handle the mayhem that usually follows after Mecha Mummy? Speaking of Honda he takes on Mummy’s current handler Mad Dr. Ueki.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2024”, 21/07/2024
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Masato Tanaka
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino (c) Vs Go Shiozaki & Atsushi Kotoge
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs MAO

I’m glad to see we’re actually getting something out of DDT’s appearances on the NOAH Limit Break shows. So far on the shows both Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino have been wanting to fight and beat Go Shiozaki to no avail. Now Shiozaki is coming back over to DDT to help Atsushi Kotoge try and win the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Shiozaki has also been a member in past iterations of BURNING so what does he think of the current day version?

EVE/TOKYO JOSHI PRO “EVE X TJPW”, 24/08/2024
London, England

The four Tokyo Joshi Pro talents travelling over to England for the joint show with EVE are Miyu Yamashita, Raku, Mahiro Kiryu and HIMAWARI. Also taking part on the show is Aja Kong! Since the show is happening in between the final rounds of the Tokyo Princess Cup that means the four names mentioned above will not be taking part in the tournament this year. It’s also been confirmed that Maki Itoh will not be in the tournament either because she will be on her next tour of America during August.
