It’s still a big homecoming show for Uta Takami even if she couldn’t come back to Kanazawa with the International Princess Title. To make up for it, only she is allowed to get paper streamers thrown for her. Nobody else!

As things stand right now, Ren Konatsu is being given her best chance yet to earn her first singles victory. The match also gives Shino Suzuki a shot at getting a rare singles win which should help her bounce back from her recent failure to win the Princess Tag Team Titles.

Miyu Yamashita will not be at the show because she will be starting her next European tour that weekend.

If the bad blood between them is still active there might not be either of them left when the KO-D Tag Team Titles match comes around.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’25” Results

November 9, 2025

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

4. MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) defeated Viva Van with the Diving Senton (12:58).
*V5 for Shoko Nakajima.
5. International Princess Title: Arisu Endo (c) defeated Uta Takami with the Camel Clutch (11:15).
*V2 for Arisu Endo.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Mahiro Kiryu defeated Rika Tatsumi (c) with a Title Belt Strike (1:11 pm).

6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) defeated HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki when Uehara pinned Suzuki with the Sushi Tornado (16:38).
*V2 for Ober Eats.
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) defeated J-Rod with the Spinning Tear Drop (12:55).
*V2 for Miu Watanabe.

It’s not often that Miu Watanabe is given a bigger and stronger opponent to fight in Tokyo Joshi Pro but they brought in J-Rod, “The Ultimate Athlete” from America to be that just for her. J-Rod slammed Watanabe around until she found herself getting spun around the ring in the Giant Swing. That cheered Watanabe up into doing a muscle pose but J-Rod Power Bombed that joy out of her. She also hit the Ultimate Spear near the ropes but the time it took to pull Watanabe into the middle of the ring, she was able to recover enough to kick out of the pin. Watanabe countered a second Ultimate Spear into a Power Slam and immediately gave J-Rod the Spinning Tear Drop to get the three count and defend her Princess Of Princess Title. J-Rod looked at the bright side to take the sting out of her defeat. She worked so hard to get a Korakuen Hall main event because she was originally trained in the NJPW Academy by King Haku and his family. She picked up her admiration for Japanese wrestling from them so is very happy to be where she is right now and cannot wait for her next visit.

After the match Watanabe shook off the effects of being slammed by J-Rod and spoke to the fans about wanting to defend the Princess Title many times on the road to next March’s Sumo Hall show. Suzume then entered the ring and congratulated Watanabe on her victory. She said TJPW is the place where you can become whoever you want, like becoming a princess for example. She now wants to shine like Watanabe and has come out to challenge her for the Princess Title! Watanabe was so happy to hear that she started to cry because she thinks she shares many similiarities with Suzume. That then made Suzume start to cry. The two agreed to the match and it will take place at the 4th January Korakuen show!

It was time for Shino Suzuki to stand up for herself against Ober Eats and she was able to get under Wakana Uehara’s skin early. Early in the match Suzuki went into tour guide mode and presented Uehara to the audience as the woman who is going to pass the Princess Tag Team Titles over to Bumping gRitters. Uehara lost her cool and yelled she isn’t giving up the belts before hitting back at Suzuki. Yuki Kamifuku also decided to put her opponents in their place, shouting at them not to underestimate her before she delivered a Double Famouser to the gRitters. Uehara then took over and pinned Suzuki with the Sushi Tornado for a successful title defence. Despite the growing tension brewing between the two teams going into the match, Kamifuku hugged both of her opponents afterwards. Uehara wanted to do the same but Suzuki pushed her away. Backstage Kamifuku spoke highly of HIMAWARI in particular for giving it her all. She said Uehara must have felt like she was on her fourth bowl of curry fighting her. Uehara agreed but added in that she could eat six more. HIMAWARI consoled Suzuki in the meantime and told her they’re not done yet. Suzuki thanked HIMAWARI for teaming with her and her tears are only for today’s frustration. She isn’t going to be broken up over this for long.

By winning the Next Generation Tournament last month Uta Takami made a beeline straight for the International Princess Title held by Arisu Endo. She focused mainly on ways to cradle Endo into pins or attach herself onto her with the Koala Clutch. Endo’s use of Super Kicks and Knee Drops were downgraded when Takami also tried grabbing onto her leg. But Endo found a Breakthrough using the Waterwheel Drop and applied the Camel Clutch to make Takami give up. She describes Takami as being extremely competitive even if her confidence is not always high. She also thinks Takami is good at obeserving how other wrestlers move so she can use that ability to become stronger. As for any future challengers, Endo is feeling invincible right now and can defend the International Princess Title against anybody. Takami said she has definitely grown after her first title match although she isn’t sure what chapter of her story she is at right now. She has a homecoming match coming up soon and even though she won’t go back to Kanazawa as a champion she will be heading over still feeling proud of herself.

More international stakes could be found down the card when Shoko Nakajima had her latest defence of the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title. This time her opponent was Viva Van who was making her return to TJPW for the first time since May (I haven’t paid any attention to if the VPW Women’s Title she won then is still active). The challenger had Nakajima scouted for the most part but when she went to go for the Hellevator, Nakajima escaped and stunned Van with a Hong Kong Spinning Elbow. She then used the Double Arm DDT followed by the Diving Senton to win. She praised Van for being an incredibly versatile wrestler who is capable of anything. She also has a few regrets over losing matches on her recent tour of Mexico so she wants to train more in order to get revenge next time. Van said this isn’t the end because she won’t be giving up. Japan is the start of a world tour she is taking on and she plans on rising to the top!

It is time for another team up between Hiroyo Matsumoto & Yuki Arai. The two of them taking on Hot Shot was also an opportunity for Matsumoto to match up against Yuna Manase while impressing the AKB48 idol Oda Erina over at the commentary table (they knew each other from Tofu Pro Wrestling). Toga was fired up to fight which then made Manase want to take Toga’s Elbow Strike to add extra damage to a Samoan Drop she was giving Matsumoto. Arai came in to give Manase the Scorpion Death Lock while Matsumoto put Toga in a Face Lock. Matsumoto then finished Toga off with the Rock Drop before going over to Erina with Arai to celebrate their victory. They’re now two wins for two as a tag team and already considering whether or not to make the Princess Tag Titles their goal. Toga feels she suffered an even cleaner loss to Matsumoto than she did back at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI”. Manase told her it was important that they never lost their motivation during the match. Given how insular TJPW is, Toga should never take it for granted when she gets to wrestle people from the outside because it is valuable experience that should not go to waste. Hot Shot will debrief over this and do their best to become champions some day.

A rare 4 Way Tag Match was put together promising a lot of chaos in the ring. Raku & Pom Harajuku formed a giant heart with their arms and used it to trap Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami ring around the rosie style. They then led a large Oyasumi Express where all of the other teams stepped over Yamashita & Toribami. Yuki Aino showed off her power by Side Suplexing both Mizuki & Suzume at the same time. She also briefly joined forces with Raku until Raku turned on her. Everything went mad with one wrestler after another fighting each other ending with Mizuki taking out Yamashita with a Spinning Diving Cross Body. With the ring emptied out, Suzume was able to pin Haru Kazashiro with the Ring A Bell. Harajuku called the match a scary dream so she and Raku should wake up and return to the real world for a bit. Aino thought her team were going to win until the very end but they’ve gained experience so next time they should try doing a 5 Way Tag! Yamashita told Toribami that you need to use your head to win multi-team Tag Matches but neither of them can do that. They have a 3 Way Tag coming up at next week’s SETUP tour of Japan and there will be a championship on the line so they cannot afford to lose. They’ll also be touring Thailand soon so they’re going to dominate over there too. Both Mizuki & Suzume had fun teaming with each other because they were able to move so freely together. Suzume said Mizuki always pushes her forward so that match gave her a lot of courage.

The opening 8-Woman Tag Match was missing a participant because Kira Summer caught a fever and had to miss the show on short notice. Rika Tatsumi, Chika Nanase & Ren Konatsu were told that they would be getting a replacement partner but the team showed up to the match without one. Hyper Misao thought that Tetsuya Koda wasn’t able to find anybody so her own team now had the numbers advantage. But when Misao’s team all put Tatsumi’s team in submission holds while Mifu Ashida was cheerleading around them, Tatsumi called out for “X” to help her. Suddenly the super substitute Ryo Mizunami appeared! She performed her full entrance though so the match continued while she was playing up to the fans. Then when she was finally ready, she couldn’t tell Kakeru Sekiguchi and Mahiro Kiryu apart. Tatsumi overcame an accidental strangulation of Mizunami to pin Ashida with the Twist Of Fate. Mizunami pushed her down after the match and Kiryu ran back into the ring to try and win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from Tatsumi but failed when Tatsumi kicked out and ran off.

Then later backstage Tatsumi found who she thought was Kiryu by the stairs. She went over and choked her unconscious only to discover it was actually Sekiguchi she strangled! Kiryu then appeared behind Tatsumi, knocked her out with the Iron Man Title and then pinned her to become the champion again!

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.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN VICTORY IN SHINJUKU VOL. 2” Results

November 1, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN VICTORY IN SHINJUKU VOL. 2”, 01/11/2025
Shinjuku FACE
277 Fans

1. Mahiro Kiryu defeated Chika Nanase with the Spinebuster (6:03).
2. Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami defeated Raku & Ren Konatsu when Misao submitted Konatsu with the Chickenwing Face Lock (8:52).
3. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) defeated Pom Harajuku with the Body Strangle Dragon Sleeper (7:02).

5. Mizuki & Suzume defeated Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida when Suzume pinned Ashida with the Ring A Bell (10:08).
6. Shoko Nakajima, Miyu Yamashita & Toga defeated Miu Watanabe, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro when Nakajima pinned Kazashiro with the Northern Lights Suplex (11:31).
7. Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Arisu Endo defeated HIMAWARI, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami when Kamifuku pinned Suzuki with the Famouser (14:36).

In a meeting of champions against challengers, Ober Eats along with Arisu Endo showed it will take some beating for them to lose their titles. Bumping gRitters & Uta Takami all found themselves needing to go back to the drawing board after today. Yuki Kamifuku rubbed it in after winning by telling HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki they showed no signs that they will win the Princess Tag Team Titles next weekend. She would rather wait until they level up to do the match. Wakana Uehara said she really doesn’t want to lose to her classmates and wants to show that having this title means she is a step ahead of them. Endo was polite towards Takami and told her she is looking forward to their International Princess Title match. Kamifuku then stepped in and told Takami to stop being a crying brat. It wasn’t until the other team left ringside that Kamifuku admitted she was actually feeling really sore from fighting them and was using her best poker face to act otherwise. Backstage Bumping gRitters were at a loss for words over how unprepared they are to face Ober Eats. Takami though is happy to see Endo is paying attention to her.

“The Ultimate Athlete” J-Rod made her Tokyo Joshi Pro debut by defeating Kira Summer in quick fashion. She returned to ringside later in the show to watch Miu Watanabe’s match up close. That match was also Shoko Nakajima’s first appearance back from her tour of Mexico. She picked up the win for her team while Watanabe locked eyes with J-Rod while she was walking back to the locker room. After finally getting to see her in person, Watanabe said J-Rod has the strength needed to get a title shot straight away. She’s not going to let J-Rod’s intimidation tactics get to her. J-Rod bragged to the backstage reporters about being “The Ultimate Athlete”, said Watanabe will be her next victim and she will become the first American Princess Of Princess Champion!

Pom Harajuku came up with a plan to beat Rika Tatsumi for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. She knows that Tatsumi does not want to fight and risk losing the belt before next month’s OCHA NORMA show, so Harajuku agreed to leave the ring and go home. Tatsumi then left the ring, unaware that Harajuku quietly walked back out and encouraged Daisuke Kiso to count Tatsumi out! The plan almost worked but Tatsumi heard Rise Shirai’s count announcement over the microphone and returned to the ring just in time to keep the match going. The two fought out of the ring again and Harajuku tried to take Tetsuya Koda hostage. Tatsumi said she doesn’t care what happens to him and started to strangle Harajuku. Koda pulled her away and put her in a Sleeper Hold to try and win the Iron Man Title but Tatsumi broke out of it and started to strangle him too. Tatsumi was able to make Harajuku give up to the Dragon Sleeper back inside the ring so she is pleased to get her win back from “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI”. She isn’t going to forgive Koda anytime soon though.

Raku & Ren Konatsu came up with a plan for their match too. While Hyper Misao was doing her usual ring introductions, the two of them snuck out of the ring and hid themselves from view, leaving behind two of Konatsu’s little sheep plushies laying on Raku’s pillow. Both Misao & Kaya Toribami were tricked into thinking their opponents had fallen asleep and somehow turned into toys! They tried to pin the toys anyway but Raku & Konatsu then rolled them up from behind for a double nearfall.

Shoko Nakajima returns from her tour of Mexico.

The era of Mahironman has come to a close. Now it is Rika Tatsumi who holds the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title and her goal is to gift the championship to Natsume Nakayama, her favorite member of OCHA NORMA. She doesn’t want to fight anyone or go through any risk of losing the belt until then but she has to fight Pom Harajuku later this week, regardless of if she is the champion or not.

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

4. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki
5. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs J-Rod

With the dust settled from the Next Generation Tournament, the winner Uta Takami has come out of it challenging Arisu Endo for the International Princess Title. Takami explained that the small wrestlers like Endo have become the most influential for her when it comes to the kind of wrestler she wants to become. On the other side, Endo is excited to fight the current version of Takami.

The team of HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki had to repeat their new team name because everywhere got it slightly wrong yesterday. Their name is Bumping gRitters but they didn’t say it clear enough over the microphone so everyone, including the official social media pages thought it was Bumping gRittes without the ‘r’ at the end.

The next challengers for the Princess Tag Team Titles are starting to piece it all together. HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki got a trios tag win against Ober Eats today with some help from Haru Kazashiro along the way. HIMAWARI was saved from taking a Crab Hold from Kira Summer and then went on to pin her with the Sunflower Tempest. After the match HIMAWARI said while she was in China last week she still kept an eye on Suzuki’s matches to see how she fared without her. Kazashiro called the two of them her best friends from the 2023 Class so she will be cheering for them in the title match. HIMAWARI & Suzuki then revealed their tag team name. They are called Bumping gRitters! They decided to combine the words grit with glitter to make “gRitters” because they fight like shining stones colliding head-on with their opponents! They also warn that Ober Eats better start paying attention to them because they will be charging head-on into them. Ober Eats aren’t taking them seriously though. Yuki Kamifuku joked that the other team placed a curse on them to make her hair grow longer while Wakana Uehara misheard the team name and thinks Bumping gRitters are called Pumpkin Pudding.

The finals of the Next Generation Tournament went all the way into having a bracket reset. Due to the double elimination rules, Chika Nanase needed to win two matches back to back while Uta Takami only needed to beat Nanase one time to be crowned the grand champion. Nanase was able to beat Takami by breaking out of the Koala Clutch and hitting Takami with Elbow Butts until she could pin her for the three count. A rematch immediately took place and Nanase tried to lock in the Inari Torii submission hold. Instead Takami escaped from it and trapped Nanase in the Koala Clutch, forcing her to give up. After Takami received her winner’s medal she called out Arisu Endo and used her title shot prize to make a challenge for the International Princess Title. Endo said she already wants to have a singles match against this version of Takami so it will happen on 9th November at Korakuen Hall.

Takami later explained that even though she admires Miu Watanabe the most, she knows she cannot become like her. But the wrestlers her size like Endo, Shoko Nakajima and Suzume have since become the shining lights for her to follow. Endo is the wrestler closest to what Takami wants to turn into which is why she is challenging her instead of Watanabe. Meanwhile Nanase said she is going to spend the rest of today being completely depressed to get it out of her syste, Then she can come out of it feeling refreshed and ready to take on the next challenge.

Mahiro Kiryu learned the harsh lesson about being the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion and that is to not trust anybody. Both Hyper Misao & Raku wanted to win the belt and agreed with each other that there wouldn’t be any hard feelings between them if one got the title instead of the other. They then attempted to ambush Kiryu & Rika Tatsumi during their entrance only to discover the team entered from the other side of the room. Both of them tried to pin Kiryu outside the ring anyway but Tatsumi protected her by strangling the other team at ringside. But with the opposition taken care of, Tatsumi then turned hover to Kiryu used the Sliding Hip Attack on her to win the Iron Man Title for herself! The tag match continued and Tatsumi even saved Kiryu from getting pinned but Raku ended up using the Hurricane Turn on Kiryu to win the match. Tatsumi was still the champion though and she happily ran away with the belt. She said that when Tokyo Joshi Pro has their show with OCHA NORMA in December, she will still be the champion by then and she will give the belt to her favorite member Natsume Nakayama as a gift! Until then she won’t accept any challenges and will run away from anyone wanting to fight her.

Today’s show was the first TJPW event to only feature female referees for every match. Fumirin was joined by Yoko Chihana who usually works as a referee for JTO.

It’s been a few days since that tweet was put out there and the Hawks ended up winning the series, so things are looking good for Takami.

Next Gen Tournament Final, New Title Bouts, Malaysia Match Updates

October 20, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN VICTORY IN RYOGOKU”, 26/10/2025
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Next Generation Tournament ’25 – Final: Uta Takami Vs Chika Nanase
2. Arisu Endo Vs Ren Konatsu
3. Mizuki Vs Toga
4. Rika Tatsumi & Mahiro Kiryu Vs Hyper Misao & Raku
5. Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami Vs Suzume & Pom Harajuku
6. Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Kira Summer Vs HIMAWARI, Shino Suzuki & Haru Kazashiro
7. Miu Watanabe & Yuki Aino Vs Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida

Due to the Double Elimination format, Uta Takami only needs to beat Chika Nanase once to win the Next Generation Tournament because Nanase has already lost once in the competition. Since Takami has been unbeaten for the whole tournament, Nanase will need to beat her twice in order to become the tournament winner. If Nanase does beat Takami here they will immediately start the grand final rematch to crown the winner.

Shoko Nakajima won’t be at the show because she will be wrestling in Mexico around the same time period.

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

1. MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs X
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs J-Rod

An American challenger now awaits Miu Watanabe. All she knows about J-Rod is she looks muscular in her pictures so Watanabe is expecting a power versus power battle over the belt.

Ober Eats next have HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki as the next challengers standing in their way. Yuki Kamifuku isn’t worried because she thinks her team with Wakana Uehara are leagues ahead of their opponents. So much so that she is naming other team Plain Long Hair.

Right as I am typing up this post, Tokyo Joshi Pro tweeted that Nakajima will defend the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title on this show. Her opponent will be revealed tomorrow.

GANBARE☆PRO “SCHOOL OF ROCK 2025”, 09/11/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Shota Kawakami Vs Sentaro Motoshima
2. Keisuke Ishii Vs Munetatsu Nakamura
3. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Ken Ohka & Choun Shiryu
4. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Yuna Manase

After taking a few days to make a decision, Ganbare☆Pro have picked Yuna Manase to be Masaaki Mochizuki’s next challenger for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title.

GanPro have also put their trust in Ken Ohka & Choun Shiryu to try and beat the BASARA team for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles. The two of them have been friends for many, many years. Well before either Ryota Nakatsu or Takumi Tsukamoto even started in the business.

DDT/TOKYO JOSHI PRO “LOVE & PEACE”, 15/11/2025
JioSpace, Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia

1. MYPW Sponsored Match: Wonder Boy & Miles Karu Vs Fienic Rose & ‘Love Warrior’ Syawal
2. Marika Kobashi & Kira Summer Vs Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami
3. Sanshiro Takagi, Shinichiro Kawamatsu & Emman Azman Vs Chris Brookes, Shota & Jack Alexander
4. Miu Watanabe, Yuki Arai & Raku Vs Yuki Kamifuku, Mifu Ashida & Poppy Shay

The joint show in Malaysia has some local wrestlers taking part alongside the DDT and TJPW crews. Those coming over from Malaysia Pro Wrestling (or MYPW for short) include the country’s first female wrestler Poppy Shay jumping into the deep end of TJPW while Emman Azman and Jack Alexander get a taste of what DDT can be like.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ADDITIONAL ATTACK ’25” Results

October 18, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ADDITIONAL ATTACK ’25”, 18/10/2025

2. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – 5 Way Match: Mahiro Kiryu (c) defeated Raku, Pom Harajuku, Suzume and Kaya Toribami when Kiryu pinned Harajuku with the Apology Hold (7:54).

4. LEVEL UP TRIAL Best Of 3 – Match II: Shoko Nakajima defeated Uta Takami with a Spinning Leg Lock (9:38).
5. LEVEL UP TRIAL Best Of 3 – Match III: Mizuki defeated Haru Kazashiro with the Cutie Special (8:47).
6. First One-On-One ~ Quiz ToJo-naire: Yuki Arai defeated Hyper Misao by correctly answering what Misao’s favorite sushi dish is (11:26).
7. International Princess Title: Arisu Endo (c) defeated Alice Crowley with the Ju no Okite (11:49).
*V1 for Arisu Endo.
8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) defeated Yuna Manase & Toga when Uehara pinned Toga with the Sushi Tornado (14:51).
*V1 for Ober Eats.
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) defeated Yuki Aino with the Spinning Tear Drop (17:49).
*V1 for Miu Watanabe.

When Miu Watanabe was crowned the princess of the Summer (the new intro to her song is there to remind you if you forgot), Yuki Aino wanted to prove she can become the princess of the Autumn. Today was her chance to keep her fire burning with a Princess Of Princess Title challenge that pitted power against power. Aino used Shoulder Tackles as well as a Reverse Splash from the ring apron to the outside. Watanabe drove Aino back first into the corner post and went on to work that area with Backbreakers. Aino powered through it to use Side Suplexes including one from the top rope but went back to the Shoulder Tackles one time too many. Watanabe gradually won out that battle and used her new Spinning Tear Drop variation to win the match.

Watanabe said she is sore after her first title defence but it was fun to bump around the ring with Aino. She calls Aino a precious and important member of their generation and she was happy to fight her for the championship. Watanabe then told the fans Tokyo Joshi Pro has more Korakuen Hall shows coming on the horizon and she wants to keep defending the Princess Title on the road to Sumo Hall next March. Her goal is to not just inspire the current TJPW fans but also those who have not seen her or experienced TJPW yet. The next Princess Title defence will be against American wrestler J-Rod on 9th October. She doesn’t know much about her other than she looks really muscular.

There was one time when Yuki Kamifuku and Yuna Manase were tag partners who had challenged for the Princess Tag Team Titles together. Today they found themselves in a similar position but this time Kamifuku was a champion defending against Manase. While that was going on their tag partners were pairing off against each other too. Wakana Uehara and Toga blocked each other from using their finishers until Uehara locked on the Banana Pillow. Manase broke it up but was immediately hit with the Diving Famouser from Kamifuku. Toga fought against Ober Eats by herself and was even able to give Kamifuku the Rock Bottom, but Uehara grabbed her in the Sushi Tornado to successfully defend the titles. After the match Hot Shot turned down handshakes from Ober Eats but it was just so they could hug them instead.

Uehara said backstage that this title run is her way of repaying Kamifuku for everything she’s done for her. Kamifuku said today’s win means she has surpassed Manase but she will still treat her and her mother to a Korean meal in Shin-Okubo. She also came up with a team name for their next opponents HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki. She is calling them Plain Long Hair and she thinks they are completely out of her league. Over on the other end Toga talked about how close Manase and Kamifuku are, close enough to be like sisters. The match they had wants her to challenge for the Princess Tag Titles again and she would like to continue the Hot Shot team in both TJPW and maybe even Ganbare☆Pro. Manase thinks GanPro would be happy to welcome her as a guest. They’ll teach her the way to guarantee victory is to never give up until you win.

Arisu Endo better be careful because she’s starting to trespass into Shoko Nakajima’s territory with her insistence that she is bigger than she looks. Endo wanted to shake Alice Crowley’s hand before their match and was kicked away so her response was to call herself big in front of her bigger challenger. At first that seemed like a mistake because Crowley slammed Endo around and Power Bombed her into the corner. But despite the beating Endo took from repeated Lariats, she ducked under one and stunned Crowley with two Super Kicks before picking her up for the Ju no Okite to win the match. Backstage Endo said the result means she is bigger than “Big Al” but she’s now formed a bond with her two. She would like the two of them to team up on tomorrow’s show in Gunma because it will be Crowley’s last booking of this tour. Crowley admits that “Little Al”/”Big Endo” has a big spirit so if you can’t beat them, join them.

You just know that Hyper Misao had something planned for Yuki Arai in their first singles match together. Her idea was to have a ToJo-naire Quiz! Every time a wrestler scored a two count pin or a rope break they would have to answer a personal question about their opponent to win. The question was presented Who Wants To Be A Millionaire style including the lifelines. Arai was asked what prefecture is Misao’s home of Gotham City in? She said Chiba but was wrong (it’s Ibaraki). Misao was asked how long does Arai wake up before she leaves the house? She said 90 minutes but was wrong (it’s 120 minutes). Misao was also asked to identify lyrics of the SKE48 song “Pareo Wa Emerald” but she got that wrong. Misao remained in control of the match so was given the next question, what is Arai’s zodiac sign? She used her “Phone a Friend” Shoko Nakajima but Nakajima incorrectly answered Scorpio (she’s a Taurus). Arai got to be asked what does Misao always drink before her matches? She used her “Ask The Audience” lifeline and the poll incorrectly chose Yunker (it’s Red Bull). Arai then got asked what Misao’s favorite sushi dish is? Arai admitted she has never gotten to eat with Misao before so she randomly guessed Ikura (salmon roe). She was correct and declared the winner! Arai was happy with the result but her “Phone A Friend” Miyu Yamashita was annoyed she was never called to help. Backstage Misao talked about how lucky Arai is. The other day there was a romance novel that everyone was waiting to order because of a lottery yet Arai told everyone she was able to just go on the website and order it immediately. If Misao knew beforehand that is how lucky Arai is, she would have come up with different rules for the match!

Part of the undercard included a three match series called the LEVEL UP TRIAL that is designed to give TJPW’s younger wrestlers some major experience boosts on the road to “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” next March. Haru Kazashiro was put together with Mizuki, who was wearing a new black costume. She was also slightly more aggressive than usual which got her a warning from Yukinori Matsui. While Kazashiro got some moments to try and win, Mizuki beat her clean with the Cutie Special. Mizuki said she was happy with the match and how Kazashiro put out everything she had against her. Kazashiro is starting to feel like she is lagging behind the other wrestlers from her generation. She wants to get stronger in her own way so that one day she can win a championship.

Nakajima was chosen to be Uta Takami’s opponent in the LEVEL UP TRIAL. Nakajima kept Takami held in Wrist Locks and purposely wrestled her with one hand behind her back for part of the match. She then put Takami in the Paradise Lock and tried to stomp on her as she rolled away. Takami was able to use that predicament to cradle Nakajima for a nearfall but Nakajima got back in control by pulling her stomach first into the turnbuckle’s steel filling. Takami then tried using the Koala Clutch and some cradles to win but instead Nakajima blocked her and kept her pinned down with a European Clutch. Nakajima said Takami’s strength comes from her unpredictability but she still has a long way to go. Takami said she felt refreshed after the match when usually she is disappointed when she loses. She thinks Nakajima used this match to bring out a side of Takami that even Takami didn’t know existed. It has her more motivated to go win the Next Generation Tournament now.

The LEVEL UP TRIAL was a clean sweep for the veterans over the young generation. Shino Suzuki tried to go blow for blow against Miyu Yamashita and fought to keep her in a Sleeper Hold but it was inevitable that she would fall to the Skull Kick. Yamashita said she always finds Suzuki entertaining and has noticed how serious she looks whenever she wrestles. But the lesson to be learned is even when you try your hardest, things do not always work out the way you want them to. But Yamashita thinks Suzuki has the same guts and spirit that she has along with an incredible desire to win. If she can keep that up then Yamashita believes Suzuki will get stronger and even become a dangerous. Suzuki said she will make the most of what she learned today because she will be challenging for the Princess Tag Titles soon. Then next time she faces Yamashita she will definitely beat her!

One day before Mahiro Kiryu can gloriously return home to Gunma as the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion, she had to defend it in a 5 Way match first. Pom Harajuku showed up wearing a full turnbuckle pad over her back and she sat in the corner to disguise herself as a ring post. Not only was it a convincing camouflage, it also meant Harajuku couldn’t be pinned because the turnbuckle pad kept her shoulders off the canvas! Suzume and Kaya Toribami provided the actual wrestling portion of the match going back and forth with each other until Raku found a way to try and pin both at the same time. She then used the same tactic to somehow give all four opponents a Russian Leg Sweep chain at the same time. The ring emptied out to where it was only Kiryu and Harajuku were left. Harajuku took off her turnbuckle pad and tripped Kiryu with it but then tripped over it herself. Kiryu took advantage and jumped on top of her with an Apology style pin to win the match and escape with the belt. Once she was safe and sound, Kiryu knew she can now go home to Gunma tomorrow with peace of mind.

It won’t be until tomorrow when Kira Summer and Chika Nanase face off in a vital Next Generation Tournament match so today they were tag partners instead. Their team up was a successful one as they went on to beat Mifu Ashida & Ren Konatsu. The two shook hands in preparation for tomorrow’s match and left the ring side by side together.

It was announced that TJPW will be holding an extra show at Korakuen Hall on 7th December. The event is a special collaboration with the idol group OCHA NORMA. Many wrestlers in the TJPW locker room are fans of the group while several idols have appeared as special guest commentators at TJPW Korakuen broadcasts in the past. The news also comes out after OCHA NORMA held their first concert at Budokan Hall earlier this week.

Nobita is the nickname of Takahiro Nakayama, a GanPro staff member who was a pro wrestler for a very brief amount of time back in 2014. The FREEDOMS wrestlers had been bullying him around whenever they showed up at GanPro shows, unaware of his background. If Takashi Sasaki & Toru Sugiura are not careful he might decide to start fighting back!

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs J-Rod

The next wrestler from America has been chosen to go on tour with Tokyo Joshi Pro this November. J-Rod has around three years of experience since graduating from the NJPW Academy in America with Ohio Valley Wrestling being her current most regular promotion. The “Ultimate Athlete” will debut in TJPW on the 1st November show but the big match of her tour will be fighting either Miu Watanabe or Yuki Aino for the Princess Of Princess Title at November’s Korakuen show.

I don’t mind this trend of tag teams getting themselves in line for a future Princess Tag Team Titles shot while the champions still have other challengers to get through. HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki have teamed on and off together this year but both are feeling left behind by other wrestlers from their class. The two are taking their team to the next level by challenging the winners of Ober Eats Vs Hot Shot for the titles.

SUPER JAPAN “NEVER MIND”, 29/12/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Tag Match: MIKAMI & Takashi Sasaki Vs X & X
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Kasai & Ippanjin Munenori Sawa Vs Yuji Nagata, Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Fuminori Abe

The last Super Japan show of the year is being advertised as the season finale of year one. Sanshiro Takagi is so happy with how Yuji Nagata has turned out as his chosen ace that he wants to wrestle Nagata himself. He also wants to team with Munenori Sawa again and expected Nagata to get more plenty of people offering to team with him so Jun Kasai was brought in to even up the numbers. Nagata has both Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Fuminori Abe wanting to join his side so the two teams are now set.

Super Japan serves as an alternate take of what DDT could have turned into if Takagi chose that name instead of Dramatic Dream Team back in 1997. In DDT, MIKAMI & Takashi Sasaki were more like rivals than partners despite once holding the KO-D Tag Titles together back in 2002. So Takagi wants to see what it would be like if the two of them were a tag team from the beginning instead of opponents. MIKAMI & Sasaki are both curious to find out for themselves as well.
