There was nothing really shocking coming out of the first round but Round 2 of the Tokyo Princess Cup is going to serve up a few big casualties. One half of the bracket will be getting ready for Saturday where Miyu Yamashita and Rika Tatsumi will have their first single match against each other since the summer of 2021.
One of the non-tournament matches is purposely pitting Yuki Kamifuku against the trio of teenagers. She’s either going to teach them all a valuable lesson or spend the match battling the reality of aging.

DDT “MEMORIES OF SUMMER VACATION 2026”, 05/08/2026 Shinjuku FACE
1. Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. Special Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Ilusion & Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion

This wll be the last DDT show before “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026” and likely where we find out who will go into the show as the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. Whoever the champion is must first take part in a tag match with Ilusion as their tag partner. If the champion is a wrestler who is already on the show then they must still compete in the match, therefore becoming double booked! But what will happen if the champion turns out to be either Sanshiro Takagi or Naomi Yoshimura?

All throughout the build up to “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26” there was the question asking is Yuki Arai had the killer instinct to beat Miyu Yamashita one on one. Today she answered that question with an undeniable yes. This was Tokyo Joshi Pro’s big match for the summer and Yamashita egged on Arai to give her best shot. She found a way to break out of the Scorpion Death Lock by grabbing Arai in a Brain Claw when she bent over backwards too far. Arai kept up with her attacks and dealt enough damage to prevent Yamashita from pinning her immediately after the Skull Kick. Instead Yamashita tried to finish her off with the Crash Rabbit Heat but it was blocked. While Arai was still kneeling, Yamashita got in two glancing blows using the Skull Kick but Arai hit back with the Rookie Award to shift the momentum back to her. She then threw down Yamashita with the Full Nelson Buster and landed the Finally to get the three count in her biggest Princess Of Princess Title defence to date.
After the match Arai said she just defeated Yamashita which means she is now the one who will lead TJPW into the summer! She looks up to Yamashita because she helped train her as well as for being a cool and strong senpai. Beating her has given Arai a huge boost of confidence and now she feels like she cannot lose to anyone. With the Tokyo Princess Cup beginning on Monday, Arai wants everyone in TJPW to make this summer hotter than ever. Backstage Arai said there were points where Yamashita completely overwhelmed her but it never broke her spirit. Now she wants to win the Princess Cup as champion because she’s never won a tournament before. Yamashita talked about how feeling the joys of winning and the frustrations over losing. For the latter she always uses defeat to make herself stronger. Arai won today but Yamashita is still going to try and beat her. With the Princess Cup about to begin there is no time to rest.
It took a lot of time for Daydream to convince Kyoraku Kyomei into taking their challenge for a rematch from “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25” last year. This time around it was Daydream as the defending Princess Tag Team Champions and Kyoraku Kyomei as the challengers. Hyper Misao promised a clean fight although she and Shoko Nakajima then tried to jump the champions before the bell rang. The two teams brawed out of the ring and briefly disappeared from view. Kyoraku Kyomei emerged from one side of the room with the Hyper Mobile while Daydream were at the other end armed with sasumata poles. The two teams then charged at each other where they were caught in a stalemate. Rika Tatsumi was able to grab Mahiro Kiryu, sit her onto the Hyper Mobile and push her so she crashed the bike into Kyoraku Kyomei. Back in the ring Misao blinded Miu Watanabe with spray but that didn’t stop her from doing a Double Body Slam to the challenging team. Tatsumi followed up with a Double Figure 4 Leg Lock. The action got so intense that Misao ended up having her masked kicked off and she was put into the Dragon Sleeper. She countered it into the Hypami Returns but Tatsumi then avoided the Vanitas to hit her with a Hip Attack. While Misao got her mask back on, Watanabe threw Nakajima out of the ring Tear Drop style then gathered Kyoraku Kyomei together on the floor for Tatsumi to hit the Diving Hip Attack onto them. The then gave Misao the Daydream Believer back inside the ring to pin her and remain the champions. Daydream are thrilled to avenge their defeat from last year especially because Kyoraku Kyomei had become a stronger and even more incomprehensible tag team since then. Nakajima admits whenever she wrestles against Daydream she really feels alive. Misao is also feeling the determination to become an even stronger wrestler.
It turns out Wakana Uehara’s eyes are bigger than her stomach after all. Her attempt to completely devour Suzume and win the International Princess Title ended in failure. While Uehara met the low angle Ring A Bell with a Shining Enzuigri and used a Jackknife Hold to try and pin down Suzume, she couldn’t get the pinfall. Suzume also found a way to break out of the Banana Pillow by grabbing Uehara in a Headscissors to loosen up the grip. Uehara was lifted up and dropped down with the Gory Bomb which left her helpess to Suzume’s remaining signature moves. The Flying Facecrusher followed by the Ring A Bell ended the match with Suzume still holding her precious IP Title. Uehara tried to get some semblance of a last laugh by biting Suzume’s arm before leaving the ring. Suzume saw the funny side of it. Backstage she talked about wanting to prove the importance of her championship. She previously lost it to a junior with high expectations (Moka Miyamoto) so she’s been terrified of that happening to her again. Her goal now for the Princess Cup is to become the brightest star. Uehara said Suzume is a really spicy opponent and she is terrible when it comes to spicy food. She was expecting Suzume to taste sweet because she has such a sweet looking face. She was determined to finish her meal but couldn’t finish with the last bite so the lesson she learned is to not be so picky anymore. The only other time she couldn’t finish a meal was when she had a tempura rice bowl that was so oily it soaked the rice at the bottom and made them inedible.
Flight problems for Willow Nightingale prevented her from arriving in Japan on time for the show so her match with Mizuki was cancelled. Mizuki was given a new opponent on short notice although it is somebody she had fought in TJPW once before. It was Chris Brookes! Mizuki wasted no time in attacking him with the Pico Pico Hammer, striking him down the same way she did Andreza Giant Panda in the past. Yukinori Matsui took the hammer away from her but Brookes later got hold of it and gave Mizuki a bonk over the head before throwing her into a row of chairs at ringside. Mizuki tried finding ways to cut down her much taller opponent while Brookes bullied her around. Double Stomps and high risk moves off the ropes were the only way she could hurt Brookes but she was almost wipde out from taking a Shotgun Dropkick into the turnbuckles. Her last big play was to hit the Whirling Candy but it only got her a nearfall. After that Brookes caught her in midair and gave her a Tombstone Piledriver. While Mizuki did kick out of the pin, Brookes just gave her the Praying Mantis Bomb after that to win the match. Backstage Brookes brought up memories of the Magical Sugar Rabbits vs TeaDK match from 2024, his previous appearance in TJPW. He said today was fun and he thinks Mizuki would like hanging out in Baka Gaijin + Friends. Mizuki was happy to see Brookes fill in on such short notice because she has so much respect for him as a wrestler. Some day she will grow taller and score the three count on Brookes. She also still wants that match with Willow Nightingale.
The road to retirement begins for Yuki Kamifuku with a special 6-Person Tag Match being put together for her on this show. She teamed up with Kumadori (who she is friends with) & Sakura Hattori (who she thinks needs to find friends). On the other side was her wrestling father figure Sanshiro Takagi, the man who produced a special video for this match Yumehito Imanari and her long suffering former tag partner Mahiro Kiryu. Things took a turn when Kiryu redirected Kumadori & Hattori into both poking Kamifuku in the eyes. She apologised for it which then caused Imanari to apologise for allowing Kamifuku to be rude in her interview for the pre-match video. Takagi then apologised for farting in the ring while nobody was paying attention to him. Later in the match Kiryu ended up getting isolated from her team. Kumadori & Hattori both kept Takai & Imanari away so Kamifuku could win the match using the Diving Famouser. Kamifuku said her team were able to win through sheer willpower. She was also able to get away with insulting Takagi and punching him in the face. She feels bad for Kiryu though and wants to tell her to keep working even harder until the time comes for her own retirement so she doesn’t bring shame to the people of their age. Hattori said she hopes to meet Kumadori again because she found a lot of similarities between the two of them. Kamifuku told her she has to make that happen herself and that she shouldn’t count on anyone to simply book them in the same match again. Meanwhile Kiryu doesn’t want her story with Kamifuku to end here. She wants to fight her again and again before Kamifuku retires. Imanari agrees that she should get some revenge by the time December comes around. Takagi suggests Kiryu should increase her mahjong training.
Big bad Aja Kong paid another visit to TJPW this time to have a singles match against Arisu Endo. From the beginning Endo peppered Kong with Dropkicks then used the ropes to roll up Kong and keep her on the canvas so she could apply the Camel Clutch. Kong put a stop to that with a big kick to Endo’s stomach. She followed that with a beat down into her own Camel Clutch which had Endo fighting to reach a rope break. Endo turned the table by using the Mt. Bandai Missile Dropkick but Kong knocked her down with a Lariat and brought in the steel can to use as a weapon. Endo grabbed it off her but threw it back so when Kong caught it Endo could Super Kick it into her face. Kong eventually hit Endo over the head with the can and did the Back Drop but Endo kicked out of the pin. She then stunned Kong with a Straight Right Punch and flipped her over with the Waterwheel Suplex. That only irritated Kong who slapped Endo across the face, did another Back Drop and then landed the Diving Elbow Drop from the second rope to win the match. Backstage Kong brought up the story of her seeing Endo crying backstage after her match at “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” back in March. At the time she gave Endo the following advice: “It’s going to hurt anyway, so just punch them with your fist.” She didn’t actually expect Endo would do that to her today! If it turns out Endo dislocated Kong’s jaw then Kong will get her revenge tenfold or even a hundredfold some other time. Until then she hopes to see Endo win the Princess Cup and then win a championship so she can come challenge her for a title of some kind. She also didn’t use the Uraken today and wants Endo to remember that Kong has plenty of things to hit her with. Endo said that Kong’s words to her that day in Sumo Hall were like magic. She can keep on going no matter how much it hurts.
MIRAI’s return to TJPW so she could team up with Toga again was spoiled by Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed. After a lot of action back and forth, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro were able to avoid taking their opponents’ signature moves at the same time and instead to that to them. MIRAI was sent out of the ring after getting hit with Aino’s Diving Shoulder Block. Prism Greed then gave Toga their Elevated Reverse DDT finisher called the Updraft!! Overdrive to get the win. The two were happy to fight MIRAI again after waiting a long time for her to come back. Toga was annoyed over losing the match right before the Princess Cup begins but MIRAI gave her some encouragement. Toga promised to get stronger so MIRAI won’t forget about her.
The arrival of Shin Sakura Katsushika Hirota to TJPW made her partners for the day HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida very giddy. Hirota sung a song down to the ring and got on the microphone while Ashida was cheering with her pompoms and HIMAWARI was whipping her hair at Chika Nanase. Meanwhile Raku got fed up with the noise and tried to take a nap with Pom Harajuku. As the match went on Hirota tried to do a rope walk spot on Nanase but ended up slipping off it one too many times. She then picked her nose and chased after everyone with snot on her fingers. She tried to stick them into Nanase’s face but she ducked and they wound up getting into HIMAWARI’s mouth instead. When Hirota tried to interrupt the Goodnight Express, Raku sent her to sleep with a lullaby. Hirota also had trouble missing Harajuku with the Kancho attack. She was able to convince Harajuku to attempt the same rope walk she did. Harajuku failed and Hirota finally got her with the Kancho after doing a cartwheel to get into position. Raku, Harajuku & Nanase all tricked Hirota into looking behind her so she could get kicked in the shin. The match then broke down with HIMAWARI accidentally sticking her own fingers into Hirota’s mouth like earlier. Harajuku charged in but Hirota in her stunned state collapsed on top of her as she often does in matches. She was too much dead weight for Harajuku to kick out of and Harajuku got pinned as a result.
The pro debut of Momo Sato included the first use of her entrance song after Shion Kanzaki gave permission to use that instead of her own tune. That didn’t matter to Kanzaki because she got to do her mic work in the corner during the match. Ren Konatsu made fun of it while she was controlling the match with Sato in the ring. Sato got to hit some Shoulder Blocks and a Kneel Kick to Uta Takami but Takami trapped her in the Koala Clutch for the tap out. Both Takami & Konatsu are looking forward to pass on what they know towards Sato. So too is Kanzaki because Sato is going to be her first junior. Sato said her goal is to become a cheerful and bright pro wrestler who will aim for the top. She’s also going to keep an eye on Takami for being so cheerful and bright.
There are only a few announcements that were given out throughout the show. Both Hiroyo Matsumoto and Sumire Natsu will be at the 23rd August Korakuen Hall show, the same event where the Princess Cup final will be held. It will be Natsu’s first time in TJPW. Also TJPW’s final show in Shinjuku FACE before the venue shuts down will be held on 27th September.

1. Oosugi Army Vs Senga Army: X Vs X
There is a BASARA doubleshot taking place this Sunday but the first show from it is a bit of a mystery. It is only being advertised as a team challenge between the two wrestlers from Speed Of Sounds. One side will be captained by Tsutomu Oosugi while the other is captained by Banana Senga. Both team lineups are currently a mystery but you might be able to figure out who will be there based on the below card for Show #2.

In order for Takumi Tsukamoto prepare for his Union MAX Title shot, he will be running through a gauntlet of seven wrestlers in a series of speedy matches. Each match only has a 3 minute time limit but Tsukamoto’s next opponent will enter the ring as soon as the previous match had ended. So there won’t be much time for Tsukamoto to catch his breath in between opponents. This isn’t happening at one of the All You Can Drink shows either so I don’t think he can get a hydration break either.

She is friends with Kumadori and Mahiro Kiryu, looks up to Sanshiro Takagi as a father figure and thinks Yumehito Imanari is good looking. She also thinks Sakura Hattori could do with meeting some new people to keep her company.
The newest idol to make her pro debut with Tokyo Joshi Pro is the Harajuku LAND idol Momo Sato. She was born in Kanagawa on 5th January, 2011 and stands 157cm tall. She already wrestled in TJPW back in March as part of the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title Battle Royal when Sanshiro Takagi scouted her. She was discovered because her brother Daichi Sato already wrestles in DDT and she became interested in following his footsteps. She intends to be a full time member of TJPW although there will be some shows missed because of her idol duties as well as her school studies.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YUKI KAMIFUKU HOMECOMING”, 10/12/2026 Fujisawa City Shonandai Cultural Center
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW YEAR-END PARTY 2026 ~YUKI KAMIFUKU GRADUATION SPECIAL~”, 26/12/2026 Tokyo Korakuen Hall
A press conference was held inside the Korakuen Hotel in Tokyo today to announce that Yuki Kamifuku will be graduating from Tokyo Joshi Pro and retiring from pro wrestling at the end of 2026. Kamifuku has decided to retire on 26th December and she assured everyone there is no bad reason for it happening. Her explanation is she feels the best time to end her career is to do it while she is at her coolest. After thinking about it recently, she believes she is at her coolest right now so now is the right time to quit being a wrestler. Both Tetsuya Koda and Sanshiro Takagi attended the conference and spoke about Kamifuku’s plan to graduate. Koda calls her an indispensable presence for TJPW and he was saddened to hear the news from her. He praised her for being a good person who always worked hard and conveyed a lot of love in her own way. Kamifuku’s last match on 26th December will not be the culmination of her career but it will be when everyone sees Kamifuku in her completed and most beautiful form.
Takagi told the story of how Kamifuku came to TJPW in the first place. He knew a manager from a talent agency called Star Ray Production and this manager recommended he come meet a model of theirs who stands 170cm tall. Takagi took her to TJPW and felt obligated to turn her into a star even though she had absolutely no knowledge of pro wrestling. He remembers how Kamifuku would constantly call him in the middle of the night with questions about wrestling that she didn’t understand. He considered blocking her number but felt she had a strong determination to become a pro wrestler and make TJPW successful as her top priority. He is grateful that Kamifuku begun in TJPW and stayed with the company for her entire career. To thank her for that, he and Koda will give her a road to retirement that will make her feel glad she was with TJPW until the very end and can leave without any regrets.
A key part of the retirement road will be Kamifuku producing her own wrestling show at Korakuen Hall on 27th November. She intends to invite her close friends and other important people she met in wrestling to gather together for a fun event. Confirmed to appear so far are Aja Kong, VENY, Yuki Iino and Sumire Natsu while Kumadori was brought up as a possible guest. Kamifuku would also like to have a match with Takagi on the show. Takagi suggested they should be opponents instead of tag partners so he can get revenge for all the times she called him in the middle of the night. Takagi also said he can get Yumehito Imanari to produce a special video for Kamifuku that she can use on the show. Other than that, Kamifuku doesn’t really have anything in mind for what she wants to do during the last six months of her career. She isn’t interested in winning one more championship and would rather have fun matches with her friends.
Kamifuku was asked about when she realized she felt she was at her peak? She noticed in the last six months her follower count on social media was growing at a steady pace and she’s been getting more praise from fans over the period. Also since she is no longer getting yelled at by her senpais, she hasn’t felt like she’s been doing anything wrong lately. That feels like being at the peak to her. The recent Princess Of Princess Title challenge involved a lot of hard work to get ready for it but she came feeling a lot of motivation afterward. She thinks she could continue wrestling for another three or four years but it would be a gamble if she achieves even more success or just end up being stuck where she is now. She’s already taken enough gambles, comparing her career to playing a slot machine 30 times and thinking she’s had enough.
She was then asked about her post-retirement plans, like would she get married? Kamifuku joked that she has plenty of imaginary fiancés but doesn’t know what lies in her future. She has thought about having a family someday but she isn’t particularly fond of children to begin with. However her pet dog Zac is getting old and she wants to be there for him just like he’s been there for her throughout the toughest times of her life. She also wants to be around for her parents as they get older too.

You know for as much as Yuki Kamifuku says she dislikes being in championship matches she made a good go of it today. She upgraded her presentation with new ring gear and turned her match with Yuki Arai into a scrap where there were plenty of kicks aimed at each other’s faces. Kamifuku was fighting an uphill battle when she was put in the Scorpion Death Lock and later couldn’t hit the Famouser. She dodged the Finally only for Arai to catch up with her with the Rookie Award, then hitting her finisher after another attempt. Despite failing to win the Princess Of Princess Title, Kamifuku backstage said today she is the most beautiful and coolest she’s ever been. Her outfit was inspired by Doronjo from the Yatterman series and she wanted a fresh look that reminded her of her early days as a wrestler. She also credited Arai for cheekily stealing some of her moves today, although she admits those moves originally came from Saki Akai and Nao Kakuta. Kamifuku said she isn’t interested in challenging for the Princess Title again because she wants to move at her own pace and is tired of hearing everyone tell her she should be fighting for the white belt.
With three Princess Title defences now achieved, Arai got a surprise for who challenger No. 4 is going to be. Her victory speech was interrupted when Miyu Yamashita who unexpectedly walked down to ringside. It was unexpected because Yamashita was wrestling at an EVE show in England on Friday so she wasn’t advertised to appear on today’s show. She also won the EVE International Title over there and was carrying her latest championship over her shoulder. She told Arai that when she won this belt, the first thing that came to her mind was the Princess Title so she wants to win it back more than ever! Arai revealed that if the choice is up to her, she was going to nominate Yamashita anyway because she has not forgotten about last December’s match where she lost to Yamashita in just over a minute. She cannot accept herself as the true champion until she can beat Yamashita one on one! 18th July will be the day Arai promises Yamashita will never forget because it will be when Arai surpasses her and leads Tokyo Joshi Pro to move forward!
Rika Tatsumi will not accept Uta Takami as Mizuki’s new tag team partner but she has bigger fish to fry after Daydream successfully defended the Princess Tag Team Titles. Daydream want to prove that they are constantly evolving as a team and proved it today with a new tag team finisher. The Daydream Believer is a combination of Miu Watanabe’s Tear Drop with Tatsumi’s Missile Hip Attack. The move was super effective on Takami and won the match for the champions. Watanabe also found a new way to give the Giant Swing to two people at once, spinning Takami around from the front while Mizuki fell back from the piggyback position to be spun around behind Watanabe. Mizuki thinks she should be upset over the defeat but she cannot help but smile. Takami works so hard with her and that’s the reason why Mizuki got to challenge for the tag titles she never thought she would ever reach again. She doesn’t want to stifle Takami’s potential and encouraged her after the match to do what she enjoys. If she happens to be a part of that then she will continue to team with her.
To go along with their evolution, Daydream told the fans they have a new goal for the summer and called out Kyoraku Kyomei to come down to the ring. Daydream lost to them at last year’s “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS” show and want revenge at this year’s event so they are nominating them as their challengers for the show. They expected Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao to eagerly accept but instead they refused! Nakajima said they are not ready to fight for the belts so soon after they failed to beat The IInspiration in Las Vegas. Misao also said her memories of that summer are very special to her and it is too early to try and surpass it. The champions disliked their answer and Tatsumi brought up a lesson her grandmother used to say: “He who chases two rabbits catches both!” Daydream got out of the ring and grabbed the pair of sasumata poles they used to torture Kyoraku Kyomei last year! They used the poles to pin Nakajima & Misao into the corners until they convinced themselves that Kyoraku Kyomei accepted the challenge. However nothing has been decided by TJPW yet and Misao is forming the Challenge Cancellation Community to protest any chance of the title match going ahead at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26”.
How far can an apology take you? All the way up to getting a championship match, I guess. Mahiro Kiryu got to fight Suzume for the International Princess Title and just like Kamifuku in the main event, showed up to her match in a brand new costume. She took Suzume outside the ring and laid her on some of the chairs in the front row so she could do her Apology spot to the fans up close. She also used the apology dogeza to lock Suzume into a Jail Hold. Her momentum was cut off with the Ring A Bell but she was determined to win, shouting that she wants to be a champion after she caught Suzume in the Spinebuster. But Suzume got back to the top rope and did the Flying Facecrusher before pinning Kiryu with the Ring A Bell.
After the match, Wakana Uehara walked out to declare herself Suzume’s next challenger. She remembers an interview where Suzume said Wakana has a very hungry spirit. Today she is much, much hungrier than she was back then and she wants to devour the International Princess Title! Suzume said she loves her hungry spirit and always wanted to experience it in person. But this is a championship so big she doesn’t think Wakana has the appetite to finish it! The title match was agreed on and will take place on 18th July. Backstage Suzume said she wants to thank Kiryu for today because they are very close to each other. She hopes to have another special day like this with her sometime. Uehara said ever since Ober Eats lost the Princess Tag Titles, she was worried about what to do next. After wrestling in singles match recently she now really wants to win a singles title so the time is right for her to challenge Suzume.
The presence of Sumire Uesaka at today’s show led to some chaos happening over the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. She was at the show to do commentary as well as watch over the 3 Way Tag Match sponsored by her vampire café Twilight Rouge. Before the show began, Antonio Honda broke into the venue attempting to attack Uesaka for the belt. However Uesaka used her Twilight Rouge powers to send Honda twirling out of the building.
The 3 Way Match showed Kyoraku Kyomei are at their strongest when something is on the line. At least that is according to Misao’s speech at the start of it. Throughout the chaos Raku & Pom Harajuku tried to send their opponents to sleep, Mifu Ashida was almost smothered with a duvet and HIMAWARI’s hair was used for a tug of war by everyone else. Harajuku aimed to hit Pom de Justice on both Nakajima and HIMAWARI at the same time but only got HIMAWARI with it. Nakajima dodged the moves and cradled Harajuku in a Jackkknife Pin to win the 1,000,000 R (Rouge) store credit for Uesaka’s café.
Then the Iron Man Title hijinks broke out after the match. Nakajima bit Uesaka’s arm while receiving her prize, making Uesaka give up the belt to her. Then Misao rolled up Nakajima to become the new champion. Uesaka got so mad she took her prize back and angrily left the ring. However Kyoraku Kyomei followed her back to the commentary table to apologize so she would give it back to them. That was when Harajuku rolled up Misao from behind the win the title from her.
Things did not calm down backstage. Misao decided a trip to the Twilight Rouge would heal her broken heart after losing the Iron Man Title but Nakajima ran off with both certificates. HIMAWARI wasn’t happy with Ashida for using her hair as a weapon and threatened not to team with her again. Then Raku woke up from a nap and discovered Harajuku was now the Iron Man Champion so she started chasing her around the locker room. Harajuku escaped to an empty room where she thought she was safe. Suddenly she found a pair of Hirata GO! glasses and when she put them on, Kazuki Hirata appeared behind her armed with a hammer! Hirata hit Harajuku over the head and pinned her to win the Iron Man Title, presumably bringing the belt home to DDT. Hirata celebrated by saying the Bullet Train ticket will be his. DDT has a contest going on where whoever makes it to “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026” as the Iron Man Champion will be rewarded with a year long Bullet Train pass that applies for DDT’s regional shows.
MIRAI was very impressed with Haru Kazashiro after their first match together. She is particularly impressed with Kazashiro’s Arm Lock holds since she only has three years of experience. The thought of what Kazashiro can turn into scares MIRAI but she is happy to see a wrestler so young quickly master joint locks when throws and grappling moves are seen to be cooler and more appealing. If Kazashiro can master submission moves to other parts of the body then MIRAI thinks she will become an unstoppable monster! Kazashiro thinks something about herself has changed since her IP Title match with Suzume last month although it’s nothing dramatic. It was strange to fight MIRAI because Kazashiro watched so much of her back in TJPW when she was a fan. She’s happy to have fought her but also feels frustrated over giving her all yet still losing.
Uehara was one step ahead of Toga which frustrated the latter because she thought it was the other way around based on last week’s result in Osaka. When Toga did the Rolling Thunder, Uehara absorbed the blow to grab her into the Banana Pillow. But Toga got out of it and did a Fall Away Slam. She also resisted a Dropkick in order to hit Uehara in the back with the Elbow Strike. She did it again only for Uehara to give her a Suplex and counter the Absolute Zero with an Enzuigiri. That stunned Toga and left her open for Uehara to pin her with the Sushi Tornado. Toga rolled out of the ring afterwards to avoid having to shake her opponent’s hand. Backstage Toga said that simply chasing after somebody she admires won’t be enough to catch her up to Uehara. She’s going to have to move forward in her own way instead.
Things were kind of more friendly between Chika Nanase and YuuRI in their match. YuuRI told Nanase at the start it is nice to see her and they shook hands. It got more intense with Nanase trying to fight from underneath while YuuRI’s tactic was to drain down her opponent’s stamina. Nanase dodged the 619 and also hit a Running Elbow for a nearfall. YuuRI prevented her from applying the Inari Torii and instead rolled her into a Body Scissors Sleeper Hold to win by submission. YuuRI called it a special match because Nanase is fun to wrestle with. She hopes to be invited back to TJPW so she can wrestle with her again along with other people like Toga. Nanase also described the match as a dream that came true that she wished would last forever. However she got a little slap across the face from YuuRI after the match and she won’t forgive her for that!
New costumes were also shown off by Sakura Hattori and Ren Konatsu in the opening match while Yuki Aino had now dyed her hair black. Kira Summer worked over on Shion Kanzaki until Kanzaki was able to tag in Aino. But it was Arisu Endo who took the match home by Super Kicking Konatsu and pinning her with the Ju no Okite. In the locker room Endo told Hattori it’s been a while since they were last in the ring together, then corrected herself and acted like they were now just meeting for the first time. Kanzaki tried to apologise to her team over the result but Aino gave her encouragement because all of the support she’s been receiving is causing her to do her best. Aino also motivated Konatsu to refine her wrestling style and become even more ambitious so she can aim for greater heights.
From the mind of Hyper Misao, the fourth annual “HYPE!” show will be held in Kitazawa Town Hall on 15th September.

It looks like DDT are very happy with holding a day long show at Shinjuku Takashimaya every year and wants to continue doing them. Yuki Ueno said so, asking fans if they would continue to show up next year, the year after that and even in ten years from now. An extra match almost broke out when To-y and Shunma Katsumata both tried to steal the main event prize from each other, causing all of The 37KAMIINA all chase each other around the area.
Backstage Strange Love Connection had an announcement to give backstage regarding Viento Maligno. He was recently unmasked and revealed to be Keigo Nakamura but he is not going back to using his real name and face. He will stick to his beliefs and continue to wrestle under the mask with just one change. The name Viento Maligno was given to him by Demus and means “Evil Wind” when translated into English. However Maligno has no evil inside of his heart so from now on his name will be Viento Levante (like the easterly wind off the Mediterranean). His goal is to beat Shinya Aoki in a rematch and also challenge Kazuma Sumi for the Universal Title.
She has an important Princess Of Princess Title match happening tomorrow but Yuki Kamifuku spent the rest of the day acting as the promotional ambassador for Shinjuku Takashimaya because she won the Battle Royal.
Saki Akai held a talk show segment during the day. Her guests were Sanshiro Takagi and Hyper Misao.

6. Yuki Arai, Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Suzume defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Mizuki, Uta Takami & Mahiro Kiryu when Tatsumi submitted Takami with the White Dragon Sleeper (16:28).
The rematch from last week has gone to the champions this time. Suzume caught Mahiro Kiryu with the Ring A Bell, Yuki Arai used her Modified Brainbuster to deal with Yuki Kamifuku and Daydream finished off both Mizuki & Uta Takami. Takami was hit with the Running Hip and Miu Watanabe then joined Rika Tatsumi to give Mizuki the Daydream Eternity. Takami made the fatal mistake of charging towards Tatsumi after that because Tatsumi grabbed her into the White Dragon Sleeper to get the win. Tatsumi said it felt great to win the match and she hopes the result leaves everyone on the challenger team feeling disheartened. Watanabe wanted much more action today so she is looking forward to the Korakuen Hall show. Arai thinks she wasn’t able to kick Kamifuku nearly enough so she promised to kick her face off at Korakuen on 7th June. Suzume wants everyone on the champion team to regroup after that show so they can all stand together as champions again. Backstage Tatsumi was pleased to have taken down the “Koala Alien” today but she will also have to beat Mizuki too in order to free her from Takami’s “brainwashing”. Kiryu described Suzume as being in super battle mode, ready to sting her at any moment.
With their singles match coming up on 7th June, Wakana Uehara and Toga were primarily focused on trying to beat each other in their tag match. Uehara countered the Absolute Zero into a Jackknife Pin but it only got her a nearfall. Toga did one better by countering the Sushi Tornado into the Absolute Zero, dishing out enough damage to pin Uehara for the three count. Uehara said she lost the tag match today but she won’t lose to Toga in a singles match. Toga pointed out today is the first time she defeated Uehara under her own power, although it was still part of a tag match. Next time when it’s one on one she is going for the complete victory. She expects Uehara to come up with more counters after today just like Toga is preparing more for her.
Kira Summer deciding to become a superhero just like Hyper Misao wasn’t interesting enough to keep Raku & Pom Harajuku’s attention. The two of them snuck off up to the balcony while Misao introduced Summer wearing her own hero costume (wearing an eye mask and using the Australian flag as her cape). The two heroes followed their opponents up to the balcony where they got trapped under a banner and almost counted out of the match. They got back to the ring in time but Harajuku then stole Misao’s cape so she too pretended to be a superhero. Misao got it back by spraying Harajuku in the face. Raku stopped Misao from doing the I Am A Hero, allowing Harajuku to pin Summer with the Pom de Justice.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ IN SHINJUKU”, 22/05/2026 Shinjuku FACE 335 Fans – No Vacancy
1. Raku defeated Kira Summer with the Doctor Yellow (8:06).
2. Pom Harajuku defeated Mifu Ashida with the Pom de Justice (5:56).
3. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated Arisu Endo & Shion Kanzaki when Kazashiro pinned Kanzaki with the Fisherman Suplex (9:19).
4. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated HIMAWARI & Ren Konatsu when Nakajima pinned Konatsu with the Locomotion Northern Lights Suplex (12:07).
5. Miyu Yamashita & Sakura Hattori defeated Toga & Chika Nanase when Yamashita pinned Nanase with the Attitude Adjustment (11:21).
6. Yuki Kamifuku, Mizuki, Uta Takami & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Yuki Arai, Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Suzume when Kiryu pinned Suzume with the Spinebuster (15:20).
The same Champions Vs Challengers main event is taking place twice during this period, the first happened today in Tokyo while the rematch will be held in Osaka next weekend. The challenger team won the first battle thanks to Mahiro Kiryu blocking Suzume’s Ring A Bell in order to pin her with the Spinebuster instead. She told Suzume after the match she will be coming to get the International Princess Title from her at Korakuen Hall next month! Yuki Kamifuku said it is fitting that she and Kiryu are the same age, went to the same college and are both fighting for championships on the same show. Kiryu isn’t used to closing out the show so she came up with an interaction for the audience to do. When she says the word “Apology” (“Moushiwake”) the fans all say “We are deeply sorry” (“Gozaimasen deshita”) back to her!
Backstage Suzume took the blame for her team losing and promised she will absolutely not lose in the rematch next week. Yuki Arai felt like she couldn’t do anything because of Kamifuku putting pressure on her the whole match. She also said the more that Kamifuku is polishing her visuals, the bigger the urge Arai gets to kick her!
Daydream got a little bit of revenge after the match by kidnapping Mizuki in the ring and abducting her back to the locker room. For that reason, Rika Tatsumi believes Daydream didn’t lose today because they will now go get something delicious to eat with Mizuki. However Uta Takami caught up to them armed with ice cream. She shoved the ice cream into Daydream’s mouths and rescued Mizuki from their clutches. As they ran off Tatsumi said Takami calls herself a vicious koala but isn’t scary at all. Miu Watanabe said they will get some payback in Osaka.
At the beginning of the show Arai and Kamifuku had a contract signing for their Princess Of Princess Title match happening on 7th June. Kamifuku talked about the amount of support she’s been getting for her first time fighting for this championship. In the past she would have complained about the attention but here she is feeling obligated to do her best for everybody who is rooting for her. Arai brought up the previous times she fought Kamifuku for the other titles and how she has beat her every time (Kamifuku at the end of the show blamed Kiryu for not winning the Princess Tag Team Titles match back then). They have similar fighting styles and Kamifuku tends to light a fire under Arai. The champion intends to unleash the full power of her boots to walk away with the victory yet again.

Dramatic DDT
