BASARA “BASARA 295 ~TAKAGARI 31~”, 27/12/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda (c) Vs Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura

Last month Daiki Shimomura got to face MJ2 for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles at a 2AW show. He and Lil’ Kraken lost the match and the champions have no interest in fighting him again despite his demand for another shot. However Shimomura will have Takumi Tsukamoto as his partner this time and he is the kind of wrestler Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda like to fight.

BASARA “BASARA 296 ~UTAGE~”, 28/12/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

It is now guaranteed that Ryota Nakatsu is the one defending the Union MAX Title against Shuji Ishikawa at the end of the year.

SUPER JAPAN “NEVER MIND”, 29/12/2025

Another DDT throwback shows back for Super Japan’s next show. In the early 2000s Phantom Funakoshi wrestled in DDT using a masked gimmick called “Showa”. Now many years later Super Japan is debuting a “Showa” II who has inherited the gimmick alongside a new tag team partner named “Reiwa”. The two of them will be MIKAMI & Takashi Sasaki’s opponents.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 27: THE NIGHT THEY CAME HOME”, 13/01/2026
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. Special Single Match: Tokyo Ganesha Vs Princess Ram
2. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs Shota

Recently Chris Brookes and Shota got to hang out in Malaysia together and got to reminisce about Brookes coming to Japan back in 2020. Both have grown a lot since then and they are approaching six years of being friends so they’re going to have a match against each other to celebrate.

A masked wrestler from India named Tokyo Ganesha first appeared last year in Michinoku Pro for their signature Fukumen World League tournament. He has made a handful of appearances in both M-Pro and ChocoPro (oh, I wonder why?) since then and will next make his debut for Baka Gaijin + Friends. His opponent will be Princess Ram.

Mr. Bueno, MAO and Dark King Ueki will all be on the show.

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

A special PR ambassador has been hired for the show. Super Sasadango Machine will be providing his skills to help promote TJPW’s return to Sumo Hall.

BASARA “BASARA 294 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~” Results

December 11, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 294 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~”, 11/12/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Wrestle Brain Jr. Heavyweight Title: Masato Kamino (c) defeated Takeru Inoue with the Lariat (11:16).
*V1 for Masato Kamino.
2. YJF Cruiserweight Title: Ayumu Honda (2) (c) defeated FUMA (1).
2a. Ayumu Honda (1) defeated FUMA (0) by Disqualification for ignoring the referee’s orders (2:44).
2b. FUMA (1) defeated Ayumu Honda (1) with a Kimura Lock (1:29).
2c. Ayumu Honda (2) defeated FUMA (1) with a Seoi-nage (1:42).
*V3 for Ayumu Honda.
3. TTT Indie Unified 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takumi Tsukamoto, Banana Senga & KURO-OBI (c) defeated SAGAT, Lil’ Kraken & Minoru Fujita when KURO-OBI submitted Kraken with an Ankle Lock (10:13).
*V3 for Kokutai Gundan.
4. BJW Jr. Heavyweight Title: Kosuke Sato (c) defeated Takato Nakano with the Bloody Sunday (12:46).
*V4 for Kosuke Sato.
5. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated Seiya Morohashi with La Magistral Cradle (17:16).
*V6 for Ryota Nakatsu.

A close shave for Ryota Nakatsu almost put an end to his Union MAX Title reign before his big defence at the end of the year. Seiya Morohashi countered the V Slider into the Crippler Crossface and Nakatsu got out of it to pin him with La Magistral Cradle. He praised Morohashi after the match for being such a noble macho man and then sent a message to Shuji Ishikawa for their title match on 28th December. The match was already on the schedule but Nakatsu felt it would be pointless if he didn’t publicly challenge Ishikawa beforehand. Backstage he said he now has new moves like La Magistral and the Super Figure 4 Arm Lock that will give him a good chance to beat Ishikawa. Morohashi complained that he didn’t lose and promised to keep appearing in BASARA to get revenge.

Both Takato Nakano and Kosuke Sato have known each other since high school and have trained together at the Hamaguchi Dojo. They were able to convince Big Japan and BASARA to let them have a BJW Jr. Heavyweight Title today. It was Nakano’s third shot at the championship but he couldn’t win it here. He has one more chance coming up on 30th December when BJW is holding a 6-Man Championship Scramble style match with Sato and Nakano both taking part. Sato wanted to see Isami Kodaka at today’s show but he wasn’t there so he left a message for him to get better and come back soon.

The entire show consisted of nothing but title matches up and down the card. Takumi Tsukamoto, Banana Senga & KURO-OBI have formed a team in TTT called Kokutai Gundan and they all wrestle while wearing black belts. They are the current TTT Indie Unified 6-Man Tag Team Champions and they were able to successfully defend them against the Super Family.

The YJF Cruiserweight Title is defended in Best 2 Out Of 3 Matches where only throws and grappling moves are permitted. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi served as the referee for the title match and even disqualified FUMA in the first match when he kept ignoring his instructions. FUMA made up for it in the second match by quickly tapping out Ayumu Honda with a Kimura Lock. But in the deciding round Honda scored the winning point with a Judo throw to retain the championship. After the match Daiki Shimomura walked out and demanded another shot at the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles. Hiroshi spoke on behalf of Honda and said he wouldn’t fight a weakling like Shimomura again. But when Shimomura invited Takumi Tsukamoto out to be his tag partner, Hiroshi said Honda is interested in fighting him so they can do the title match on 27th December.

Last but not least, Masato Kamino defeated Takeru Inoue to defend the Wrestle Brain Jr. Heavyweight Title. Five title matches on the show and none of them changed hands.

Good Kids Vs Bad Kids, Union MAX Title Picture Haunted By Union

November 21, 2025

GANBARE☆PRO “WICKER MAN 2025”, 29/11/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Keisuke Ishii, Hagane Shinno & Munetatsu Nakamura Vs Mizuki Watase, Rukiya & Shota Kawakami
2. Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Tatsuhito Takaiwa & Sentaro Motoshima
3. Choun Shiry, Kaori Yoneyama & Yuna Manase Vs Moeka Haruhi, Chika & MASA☆TAKA
4. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Shuichiro Katsumura & YuuRI
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Ken Ohka

Is Ken Ohka going to go zero for two in meaningful title matches this month?

It looks like Rukiya is going to be a part timer with Ganbare☆Pro alongside his DDT bookings. When he said he’s trying to catch up to the rest of D GENERATONS he meant it.

BASARA “BASARA 293 ~TAKAGARI 30~”, 29/11/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Chicharito Shoki Vs Lil’ Kraken & SAGAT
2. Basara Jacket Match: Masato Kamino Vs Ryota Nakatsu
3. Takeru Inoue & Daichi Kazato Vs Banana Senga & Takumi Tsukamoto
4. Takato Nakano Vs Daiki Shimomura
5. Ryuichi Sekine Vs FUMA

Good Kids: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Ryuichi Sekine, Daichi Kazato, Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino, Takeru Inoue & Chicharito Shoki

Bad Kids: Ryota Nakatsu, Takumi Tsukamoto, FUMA, SAGAT, Daiki Shimomura, Lil’ Kraken & Banana Senga

The theme of the next BASARA show is a team of “Good Kids” taking on a team of “Bad Kids”. There is also the return of the dreaded Jacket Match. Ryota Nakatsu is ranked No. 4 on the alleged world rankings for jacket wrestling while Masato Kamino is unranked.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 26: WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER?”, 02/12/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. BK-G Openweight Title – Mascara Contra Mascara: Mr. Malo (c) Vs Mr. Bueno

The rest of the card will be unannounced until the show takes place. What we do know is who will be showing up. The usual Baka Gaijin + Friends crew will be there along with Fuminori Abe, Hagane Shinno and somehow Dr. Cube from Kaiju Big Battel will be appearing too. He won’t be coming alone either…

BASARA “BASARA 294 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~”, 11/12/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. BJW Jr. Heavyweight Title: Kosuke Sato (c) Vs Takato Nakano
2. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Seiya Morohashi

Ohka caused some trouble over in BASARA by prematurely promising a Union MAX Title shot to a old colleague of his. Ohka couldn’t win the title from Ryota Nakatsu so now it is up to the champion to deliver on that promise. Since the promise revolved around Union Pro, Nakatsu decided he will first defend the title against another wrestler who used to cut his teeth in the now obsolete promotion, Seiya Morohashi.

The show will have another title match involving a connective past shared between the champion and challenger. Takato Nakano wants to face Kosuke Sato with the BJW Jr. Heavyweight Title on the line. The two of them used to train together in the Hamaguchi Gym and Takato believes they are equally skilled where they currently stand.

BASARA “BASARA 296 ~UTAGE~”, 28/12/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

The promise Ohka made was to give Shuji Ishikawa a Union MAX Title match. Ishikawa was Union’s ace for a good chunk of its decade long existence but he never held the Union MAX Title. It bothered Ohka that the championship was being used in BASARA instead of being held by a Union wrestler like himself or Ishikawa. So Nakatsu has taken on the promise to give Ishikawa a title match at BASARA’s last show of the year. If Morohashi wins the title first then he will be the one defending it against Ishikawa. It would be a bad look for BASARA for its big main event to turn into a Union Pro tribute match featuring only outsiders but it is a risk that Nakatsu is willing to take if it can help the company’s business.

BASARA “BASARA 292 ~UTAGE~” Results

November 18, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 292 ~UTAGE~”, 18/11/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. 3 Way Tag Match: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Daichi Kazato & Yasu Urano and Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano when Nakano pinned Inoue with a Spinning Crucifix Pin (10:40).
2. SAGAT, Lil’ Kraken & Minoru Fujita defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga when SAGAT pinned Hiroshi with the Super Earth Reverse Spin Slam (8:50).
3. Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Daiki Shimomura with the Running Zudon (8:52).
4. Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA defeated Munetatsu Nakamura & Shota Kawakami when FUMA submitted Kawakami with an Arm Bar (10:58).
5. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated Ken Ohka with the V Slider (13:24).
*V5 for Ryota Nakatsu.

The main event was a battle between the BASARA boss and the Ganbare☆Pro boss over the future of the Union MAX Title. The challenger Ken Ohka felt he deserved to take the championship as one of the few remaining Union Pro wrestlers still around. However Ryota Nakatsu withstood the Spear Of Flame and turned it into the V Slider to defend the championship. After the match Nakatsu confronted Ohka over a rumour that he already offered title match to somebody on 28th December if he ha become the champion today. Ohka admitted he did and the person he made the offer to was the one wrestler you think of above anyone else when it comes to Union Pro, Shuji Ishikawa!

28th December is the only date Ishikawa has available for the rest of the year so Ohka decided they could do the title match on that day’s BASARA show. Nakatsu thought about it and pointed out that Seiya Morohashi is also still active. Ohka then admitted he was going to give him a title shot on the 27th December BASARA show. Nakatsu decided he will give Morohashi a MAX Title shot on 11th December and the champion coming out of it will then defend the belt against Ishikawa on the 28th. He is aware that this plan can backfire and turn BASARA’s final show of the year into a Union Pro memorial!

Three days ago Daiki Shimomura & Lil’ Kraken went over to 2AW and lost to MJ2 in a failed attempt to bring the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles back to BASARA. After his match today, Shimomura said he isn’t giving up chasing after the title and now wants Takumi Tsukamoto to help get the belts back. Tsukamoto made sure that Shimomura is motivated enough to do that before accepting to team up with him.

Takato Nakano threw out a challenge to Kosuke Sato for the BJW Jr. Heavyweight Title. The two have known each other through the Hamaguchi Gym ever since Nakano moved to Tokyo when he was 18 years old. He thinks Sato is the wrestler most like himself and also the person he would like to wrestle the most.

All Rise Press Conference, Ohka Challenges For Union MAX Title

November 5, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’25”, 09/11/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. 4 Way Tag Match: Mizuki & Suzume Vs Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami Vs Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs Raku & Pom Harajuku
2. Rika Tatsumi, Kira Summer, Chika Nanase & Ren Konatsu Vs Hyper Misao, Kakeru Sekiguchi, Mahiro Kiryu & Mifu Ashida
3. Hiroyo Matsumoto & Yuki Arai Vs Yuna Manase & Toga
4. MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs Viva Van
5. International Princess Title: Arisu Endo (c) Vs Uta Takami
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs J-Rod

A press conference was held yesterday to promote the three championship matches taking place next week. It was a chance for Miu Watanabe and J-Rod to get to know each other better before they fight over the Princess Of Princess Title. J-Rod spoke about how impressed she is by Watanabe’s strength despite looking so small next to herself. But pro wrestling is not a fairy tale and J-Rod has been preparing for the match like a beast. Watanabe admitted she always feels nervous when she has to fight foreign wrestlers but she wants to become stronger so she can defend the title at next year’s Ittenyon show and then after that, Sumo Hall in March. She is also confident she can Giant Swing J-Rod because she was able to do it on the cardboard dummy she made last week. J-Rod thought she was just being cute at the time but if Watanabe thinks she really can do it then J-Rod dares her to try. Also while J-Rod has been taking her diet seriously to prepare for the match, Watanabe has been eating chocolate for breakfast to increase her own cuteness points.

The Princess Tag Team Titles match puts a focus on three wrestlers from the 2023 Class all trying to catch up to each other. Shino Suzuki was happy to see Wakana Uehara win the title but also felt frustrated seeing her classmate move ahead. She felt the same way when Toga recently got a title shot too because at that point Suzuki was feeling left out with nothing to show for. But HIMAWARI has been by her side as a tag partner and the day came when Bumping gRitters came to life and challenged Ober Eats for the titles. HIMAWARI challenged for the belts once before and even teamed with Uehara for that match, so it gets to her seeing Uehara move on and win the belt without her. Uehara considers her opponents to be important friends because they all started together but she doesn’t want to stay at their level or lose the titles to them. She’s going to swallow Bumping gRitters whole! Yuki Kamkifuku finds the whole talk about classmates a bit boring, like when people think it is fate if they find out they have the same birthday. She has no intention of losing to a tourist guide or a long haired woman. Suzuki doesn’t like the way Kamifuku calls her weak so she wants to make her bow in apology.

Uta Takami got Arisu Endo to talk about ice cream while building up the International Princess Title bout. Takami is feeling lucky because every day she’s been buying a popsicle and today there was only one left and it was a chocolate coffee flavored Papico which made her really happy. Endo likes eating cookies & cream Häagen-Dazs which doesn’t suprise Takami because it is a high end and expensive ice cream. Endo thought she would be able to beat Takami 100 times out of 100 but after their recent matches she’s starting to think there is a one in a thousand chance she could lose. She notices how despite Takami’s lack of experience, she belives in herself and even walked into this press conference with her head held high. Takami then said she will continue her run of good luck later today when she goes to get the last chocolate coffee Papico again.

BASARA “BASARA 292 ~UTAGE~”, 18/11/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. 3 Way Tag Match: Daichi Kazato & Yasu Urano Vs Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino Vs Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano
2. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga Vs SAGAT, Lil’ Kraken & Minoru Fujita
3. Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA Vs Munetatsu Nakamura & Shota Kawakami
4. Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Daiki Shimomura
5. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Ken Ohka

One of the last glimmers of light from Union Pro is hoping to take the title he never got to fight for. Ken Ohka believes he should deserve to be the Union MAX Champion just because they both originally came from the same promotion. It’s up to Ryota Nakatsu to show Ohka that the championship belongs to BASARA and will stay there.

BASARA “BASARA 291 ~KOO~” Results

October 31, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 291 ~KOO~”, 31/10/2025
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Ken Ohka & Shota Kawakami defeated Takeru Inoue & Yasu Urano when Ohka pinned Inoue with the Flame Spear (11:35).
2. SAGAT, Minoru Fujita & Lil’ Kraken defeated Gouma Ryu, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga when Kraken pinned Ryu with the Hurricane Driver (9:13).
3. Grace Project Sponsored Match: Toru Sugiura, Tomoya Hirata & Captain Grace defeated Isami Kodaka, Daichi Kazato & Daiki Shimomura when Hirata pinned Kazato with the Tower Hacker Bomb (9:24).
4. Hardcore Tag Match: Takumi Tsukamoto & Masashi Takeda defeated Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA when Tsukamoto pinned Sekine with the Zudon onto the Chairs (13:26).
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda (c) defeated Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Honda submitted Nakano with an Arm Bar (15:37).
*V2 for MJ2.
6. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi with the V Slider (15:42).
*V4 for Ryota Nakatsu.

The big move Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi kept trying to use in the Union MAX Title bout was the Perfect Plex. It took him several attempts to pull it off against Ryota Nakatsu but when it finally hit it wasn’t enough to pin the champion. Nakatsu brought in a counter attack that took Hiroshi’s energy away. But rather than finish him immediately, Nakatsu gave Hiroshi one last chance to fight back. Hiroshi hit him with a Knuckle Punch but had nothing left to give so Nakatsu gave him the V Slider and pinned him for three. Nakatsu praised Hiroshi for his passion and leaving his feelings all out in the ring. When he started to talk about his next title defence, Ken Ohka entered the ring chanting the number “4642” over and over. Ohka told Nakatsu that number is how many days its been since he left Union Pro Wrestling back on 13th February, 2013! Not a day has gone by without Ohka remembering Union Pro and the only thing left around that represents it is the Union MAX Title. As a Union original that belt has Ohka’s name on it which means he deserves to have it! Nakatsu accepted his challenge for 18th November.

The Iron Fist Tag Team Titles remain with MJ2 after Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda defeated Aijin Tag. Mashimo and Masato Kamino took each other out so the finish came down to Honda against Takato Nakano. Honda countered a roll up into an Arm Bar and increased the pressure by clutching onto Nakano’s leg. Nakano wouldn’t give up but the referee had to stop the match in MJ2’s favour. After the match Kyu Mogami spoke on behalf of his stablemates and said the next Iron Fist Tag Titles defence will happen at a 2AW show in Yokohama Radiant Hall on 15th November. Daiki Shimomura & Lil’ Kraken ended up confronting MJ2 backstage later to challenge them at that show.

Gouma Ryu will be taking a break from wrestling for a few months to focus on other priorities in his career. Today was his last match in BASARA for the time being until he returns.

BASARA “KANRA PRO WRESTLING FESTA 2025” Results

September 28, 2025

BASARA “KANRA PRO WRESTLING FESTA 2025”, 28/09/2025
Gunma Kanra Junior High School Gymnasium
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Masato Kamino defeated Lil’ Kraken with the Lariat (8:53).
2. Minoru Fujita & MAZADA defeated Takato Nakano & Takeru Inoue when MAZADA pinned Inoue with the Shoda Otoshi (15:07).
3. Takumi Tsukamoto & Yasu Urano defeated Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura when Tsukamoto pinned Shimomura with the Zudon (11:54).
4. Daichi Kazato defeated SAGAT with the Modified OPA! (9:31).
5. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Ryota Nakatsu, Ryota Hama & Kotaro Nasu when Hiroshi pinned Nakatsu with a Spinebuster (11:29).
6. Masato Tanaka & Daisuke Sekimoto defeated FUMA & Ryuichi Sekine when Tanaka pinned FUMA with the Sliding D (15:43).

BASARA returned to the area FUMA has called home for quite a few years now. Their annual visit to Gunma pits FUMA against some big name opponents in the past and it was the same here. He & Ryuichi Sekine wore new matching gear for their tag match against the two outsiders Masato Tanaka & Daisuke Sekimoto. While their teamwork took them far, including a tandem that had Sekine give Tanaka the Kamikaze after FUMA hit them with a Missile Dropkick from behind, victory escaped from their grasp. Sekimoto grabbed both Tanaka and FUMA to do a Double German Suplex and Tanaka got up first to hit FUMA with the Sliding D for the win.

Ryota Nakatsu tried to impress the locals by bringing along the three championships he currently holds (BASARA’s own Union MAX Title, the Dove Tag Title from Dove Pro and the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Title from Ganbare☆Pro) but Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi spoiled his day by getting the pin over him!

Super Japan Continues, Is Hiroshi Too Scary for Nakatsu?

August 21, 2025

Heads up but I will be travelling over the next few days to see some wrestling in London, which includes “FORBIDDEN DOOR”. However it is kind of a light weekend of shows within the DDT circle so there should not be any delay in getting results and writing a report for the Tokyo Princess Cup semi finals on Saturday. I might be able to at post results of tomorrow’s Baka Gaijin + Friends show in the Philippines too. If not then that will be saved for the next DDT Around The World article at the end of the month.

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

1. Yuna Manase & YuuRI Vs Moeka Haruhi & Hanako Nakamori
2. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Takuya Wada Vs Fuminori Abe, MAO & Tyson Maeguchi
3. Sentaro Motoshima Debut Match: Munetatsu Nakamura, Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motoshima Vs Rukiya, Kazumasa Yoshida & Takeru Inoue
4. GanPro Vs FREEDOMS: Ken Ohka, Shuichiro Katsumura & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Toru Sugiura, Takashi Sasaki & Dragon Libre
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Yumehito Imanari (c) Vs Masaaki Mochizuki
6. Mizuki Watase 10th Anniversary Match – Fluorescent Lighttube Death Match: Mizuki Watase Vs Jun Kasai

An injury to Tomoya Hirata has taken him off the show. Takashi Sasaki will be taking his place in the Ganbare☆Pro Vs FREEDOMS match. Which he should have been part of in the first place because he’s been a frontal figure of this rivalry from the start.

BASARA “BASARA 287 ~TAKAGARI 29~”, 31/08/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Takeru Inoue Vs Shota Kawakami
2. Daichi Kazato 15th Anniversary Match: Daichi Kazato Vs X
3. Isami Kodaka & Keisuke Ishii Vs Lil’ Kraken & Munetatsu Nakamura
4. 4 Way Match: SAGAT Vs Daiki Shimomura Vs Takato Nakano Vs Yasu Urano
5. 4 Vs 4 Elimination Match: Ryota Nakatsu, Ryuichi Sekine, FUMA & Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Masato Kamino, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga

BASARA has a path set towards Halloween for their next big Union MAX Title match. Ryota Nakatsu says he isn’t scared of defending the title against anybody but Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi thinks the champion has been ducking him. Hiroshi has recently formed a quartet with Speed Of Sounds and Gouma Ryu called WizRYU but Ryu isn’t a guy you can rely on for an Elimination Match so Masato Kamino is taking part instead. Nakatsu is relying on Hyakusho Ikki and Takumi Tsukamoto to back him up in the meantime.

BASARA “BASARA 288 ~UTAGE~”, 17/09/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda (c) Vs SAGAT & Minoru Fujita

Two members of the Super Family are challenging for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles because SAGAT is already fed up with Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda invading BASARA. He called upon Minoru Fujita to be his partner.

SUPER JAPAN “COME AGAIN 2025”, 14/10/2025
Shinjuku FACE

0. Exhibition Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Munenori Sawa
1. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs Shinya Aoki

So there wasn’t actually plans for Super Japan to last past the first show but Sanshiro Takagi was happy enough with how the launch did to run another event under the name. Yuji Nagata is still his pick to be the ace and he’ll get a far more serious match this time because his opponent is Shinya Aoki! There is a little bit of history here because Aoki defeated Yuji’s brother Katsuhiko Nagata in the DREAM Middleweight Grand Prix back in 2008.

Takagi himself is confident he can make a full return to the ring by the end of the year. However he isn’t sure if he can make it back in time for November’s Sumo Hall show. He also is only currently cleared by his doctor to do light exercises. With that being said, Takagi wants to shake off some ring rust so he will take part in an Exhibition Match with his old tag team partner Munenori Sawa. The bout is only scheduled to have a five minute time limit but Sawa has told Takagi he wants the two of them to go as wild as they can and cause some trouble!

MIKAMI and DJ Nira will be on the show.

BASARA “BASARA 291 ~KOO~”, 31/10/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi

Nakatsu has successfully defended the MAX Title against Hiroshi one time before back in February 2022. That was Hiroshi’s second time challenging for the belt. The other time was when it was revived to be used as BASARA’s top championship all the way back on Christmas Day of 2016.

BASARA “BASARA 286 ~UTAGE AOI – SOUEN~” Results

August 20, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 286 ~UTAGE AOI – SOUEN~”, 20/08/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Takeru Inoue with the Brainbuster Slam (10:14).
2. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (w/ Gouma Ryu) defeated Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Lil’ Kraken when Hiroshi pinned Kraken with the Perfect Plex (12:04).
3. SAGAT Vs Ayumu Honda ended in a Double Countout (15:03).
4. FUMA & Ryuichi Sekine defeated Fuminori Abe & Daiki Shimomura when Sekine submitted Shimomura with the Let’s Combine (10:02).
5. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated Daichi Kazato with a Forward Rolling Cradle (16:53).
*V3 for Ryota Nakatsu.

Out of all the times Ryota Nakatsu had a championship match, this one was probably the most unusual. Daichi Kazato brought along several long rubber straps to either use as weapons against Nakatsu or as something to slingshot himself at Nakatsu. The straps limited the Union MAX Champion from using a lot of his regular moveset but when they were eventually taken out of the picture, he countered a roll up from Kazato into one of his own to win the match. Nakatsu asked the fans after the match if they noticed he couldn’t do any Zero Fighter Kicks, German Suplexes or V Sliders because of Kazato’s plan. They still had an exciting match though and he called Kazato the craziest guy.

With today’s victory Nakatsu said he now has nothing to fear when it comes to defending the MAX Title. Suddenly Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi’s music played and Hiroshi was carried down to the ring by his fellow WizRYU members Gouma Ryu and Speed Of Sounds. He said he knows Nakatsu all too well and asked if he was scared of him? He knows the last person Nakatsu wants to be challenged by is “Mr. Perfect” Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi! The champ admits Hiroshi can be scary but he isn’t afraid of him so he accepts the challenge. Hiroshi then tried to attack him but Kazato suddenly came to Nakatsu’s rescue! Nakatsu appreciated it so much that he decided he and Kazato should team up together. Backstage Hiroshi announced his MAX Title challenge will happen on 31st October.

Isami Kodaka missed the show due to illness. He was replaced by Fuminori Abe in Match #4.

Match #3 ended in a Double Countout after SAGAT lost his temper and threw Ayumu Honda into the audience. He then purposely prevented Honda from making it back to the ring. As soon as the match ended, SAGAT demanded an Iron Fist Tag Team Titles shot with Minoru Fujita as his partner because the Super Family are fed up with Honda and Kengo Mashimo. Hiroshi on Honda’s behalf accepted the challenge and said the match will happen on 17th September. He thinks Mashimo will be available on that date.
