7c. Shoko Nakajima defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa with the Diving Senton (21:44).
Although she was only officially part of Tokyo Joshi Pro for one year, Yoshiko Hasegawa touched many during her time there and was given a grand farewell for her graduation from pro wrestling. She was going to fight 27 other TJPW wrestlers for her retirement match! Just a few days earlier Hasegawa won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title so her last match also doubled up as a title defence. One by one she got to fight different opponents who all in their own way showed their thanks to her. Then somehow Tetsuya Koda got dragged into the ring by Rika Tatsumi. She choked and stomped on Koda so Hasegawa could then pin him with a Knee Drop. The pinfall counted and Hasegawa was rewarded with the first fall.
The match continued on as a Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls contest. Hasegawa was getting overwhelmed by the massive numbers disadvantage until Kaya Toribami suddenly came to her aid! She had teamed with Hasegawa when she won the Iron Man Title during the weekend and Yoppy told her it was as if they were sharing the belt with each other. That seemed to have stuck with Toribami and she helped Yoppy fight against Daisy Monkey. But while Toribami tried to hold back Arisu Endo, Hasegawa ended up taking the Ring A Bell from Suzume and was pinned to lose the second fall. Suzume was now the Iron Man Champion but Miu Watanabe quickly put her in the Giant Swing and pinned her down afterwards to take the belt from her. That title reign also only lasted for a few seconds because Mizuki did the Whirling Candy on Watanabe to pin her for the belt.
For the third and final fall Hasegawa had reached exhaustion so everyone on the other team let Shoko Nakajima fight her one on one. Hasegawa was able to get a nearfall with the Diving Double Knee Attack but Nakajima wore her down with Elbow Strikes before finishing her off with the Double Arm DDT and Diving Senton combo. After the match Nakajima talked about the times she went to go watch Ganbare☆Pro and Daisuke Kiso would always mix her up with Yoppy because they both look the same from behind. She also said Hasegawa has never been selfish and was always respectful to others, even to the most junior wrestlers like Ren Konatsu. Because Hasegawa chose to end her career with TJPW, Nakajima told her to live her life selfishly from now on.
Hasegawa said she is always reserved and polite with everyone because she is always scared of being disliked. But TJPW is not like that because everyone here is unique. That is why when she decided on her retirement she allowed herself to be very selfish. In return TJPW made her the most wonderful road to retirement and she is grateful for it. Her graduation ceremony then took place where she was given gifts by Toribami and HIMAWARI on behalf of TJPW. Then some comedians (Miku Aono among them) Hasegawa had worked with outside of wrestling congratulated her. After that several women from Actwres girl’Z posed with her for a group photo. There was also her friends from GanPro and other indies showing up like Riara, YuuRI, Banny Oikawa and Erina Yamanaka. Even her debut opponent Tsukasa Fujimoto made an appearance to be in the ring with her one last time. The final guest to stand with her was Teppei Arita who had been doing guest commentary for the show.
Yoppy closed out the show with a speech. She debuted in 2019 and a lot had happened to her over the last 6 years, like breaking her neck. But she is happy to be standing in the ring the way she is right now. She lost her Iron Man Title but has gained something even more important from TJPW. She promised to support the company as a fan from now on and hopes to see everyone again at the shows. She then received her ten bell salute and retirement call to end the show.
Daydream were without their sasumata poles today and apparently Kyoraku Kyomei are to blame. Before their 6-Woman Tag Match began Hyper Misao said that she and Nakajima got rid of the poles and they are able to beat Daydream without them. Daydream thought on the fly when everyone fought out of the ring up to the aisleway. Watanabe suddenly picked up Tatsumi over her shoulder and Tatsumi made herself into the shape of a human sasumata to be used as a weapon on their opponents! Back in the ring Yuki Aino gave Toga the Bulldog Headlock and Nakajima followed up with the Northern Lights Suplex to get the win.
Raku wanted to sleep in the middle of the ring during the 3 Way Match so Mahiro Kiryu and Shino Suzuki each tried to quietly pin her. She kicked out in her sleep so Kiryu then tried to Body Slam Suzuki on top of her. Raku rolled out of the way and then rolled back on top of Suzuki so Kiryu had to break the pin. She threw Raku’s pillow away and apologised to her because she looked so comfortable sleeping.
The final two spots in the Tokyo Princess Cup have been filled. Today’s qualification matches were the last in the preliminary league. Moka Miyamoto defeated Toribami to take one of the final places. She expected Toribami to be tough coming off of her recent title match with Nakajima and is feeling glad she won. Miyamoto has a lot to look forward to before the Cup begins, such as the Texas tour and her International Princess Title match at Ota Ward Gymnasium. Toribami doesn’t think she was beaten in technique or spirit. She wonders if she just got too excited today? That might also explain why she decided to help out Hasegawa during her retirement match because she wanted to see Yoppy win.
The other last spot goes to HIMAWARI although she had to get a taste of her own medicine to earn it. Pom Harajuku came down to the ring wearing large hair extensions to use as a weapon similar to how HIMAWARI whips opponents with her own hair. Harajuku tricked Fumirin into holding the hair so they could Clothesline HIMAWARI together. However HIMAWARI dodged the Pom de Justice and put Harajuku in the Half Crab Hold. It was right in the centre of the ring so Harajuku gave up. HIMAWARI was prepared for this match and is ready to become the woman of the summer! Harajuku said she put all of her energy into this match because she couldn’t wrestle Haruna Neko in the first round. By carrying Neko’s feelings with her it caused her hair to grow long! But she understands her hair became way too long so she is going to work hard just little by little from now on.
At the start of the show Hyper Misao announced there will be a repeat performance of “HYPE! 3” being held at Kitazawa Town Hall on 3rd August! She explained she wasn’t in perfect physical and mental condition for the show which led to her making decisions she would not have done under normal circumstances. Now she is back in perfect condition she wants to do the show again!
Sometime after the show ended, Mizuki was hanging out backstage with the Iron Man Title and also her trusty Pico Pico Hammer. Raku approached her and sang her to sleep with a lullaby in an attempt to win the belt. However Raku felt sleepy too and took a nap while the referee noticed the hammer resting on top of Mizuki’s sleeping body. He counted to three and declared the Pico Pico Hammer as the new champion! Then shortly after that Sanshiro Takagi found out what happened. He found the hammer, gave it the Stunner and pinned it to become the new champion.

1. Special Single Match: Hyper Misao Vs Yuki Aino ended in a Time Limit Draw (15:00).
For the third year in a row Hyper Misao gets to produce her own show and it hasn’t gotten any easier. Three days before the event took place the entire cast waited at the dojo for rehearsals but Misao was nowhere to be seen. Yuki Aino decided to leave the others and go look for her. Meanwhile Misao was isolated in an office room, having purposely taped herself onto a chair so she could complete the script for the show. She found the task so difficult that she started praying to the wrestling gods to give her the strength to continue. After drinking one energy drink too many, she blanked out for a second. After coming to, Misao had a brainflash and suddenly realized the secret of pro wrestling as well as the universe!
Freshly invigorated, Misao went back to work typing as much as she could. Unbeknownst to her a mystery figure entered the room, approached her from behind and knocked her out with a bell hammer! As this was happening Aino was walking down the street and saw the figure carrying a still conscious Misao into a nearby parking lot. Aino rushed towards them, grabbed Misao and pulled her away. But the two clashed heads, knocking both of them down. The mystery person picked the now unconscious Misao up onto their shoulder and walked off.
Aino woke up to Mahiro Kiryu, Suzume and Shoko Nakajima all standing over her checking if she was alright. Something was wrong because she started thinking she was Misao and asked the others what had happened to Aino? Once she saw her reflection in a mirror, she started to realize what was going on. By bumping heads Misao and Aino had switched bodies! Back in the dojo everyone was told what had happened. Misao was now in Aino’s body and Aino was now in Misao’s body, which had just been kidnapped. They also have this show to worry about so they agreed in the meantime to do all that they can to make “HYPE! 3” a success.
Our story begins during the year 20XX in a version of Japan where pro wrestling is a nationally certified profession. Only those who pass a national exam are allowed to take on the job which for 15 consecutive years has been voted by children as the No. 1 career they want to have in the future. A private school in located in Shinjuku called the Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling Academy brings in students from all over Japan because it has an enrollment rate of 90% among its graduates. Today is the first day of class for the academy’s newest transfer student, Yuki Koino (Yuki Aino). Unfortunately Yuki was running late for class so she needed to get there quick. As she was running, she bumped into somebody wearing another school uniform (Toga) and knocked her down. When the student wouldn’t accept Yuki’s apology, Yuki called her a jerk and continued on her way to class. However something about that moment made Yuki feel excited in a way she never felt before.
Yuki made it to the academy in time and was introduced to the rest of the classroom by the homeroom teacher Rika-sensai (Rika Tatsumi). A different student then hurriedly entered the room. It was Rune Okure (Uta Takami), another transfer student. She introduced herself by saying her strength is she’s the most competitive person in the universe. Her weakness is also that she’s the most competitive person in the universe. Today’s lesson was the history of why pro wrestling became the most important profession in the country. It is because pro wrestlers protect the Earth from aliens! Once there was an evil alien who invaded the planet threatening to conquer it when a wrestler challenged it to a wrestling match. The wrestler won and when the bell rang, the entire area was enveloped in light, weakening the alien and saving the entire planet.
The sound of the ring bell also has the power to wipe out memories. A side demonstration was put together by a normal civilian (HIMAWARI) who used the ring bell to repel a pickup artist (Tetsuya Koda). She had to keep ringing it though because once the artist lost his memory, he would forget what had happened and begin flirting with her again. Back in the classroom Rune asked Rika-sensai if a wrestler ever lost to an alien? Rika told her so far it has never happened. Pro wrestlers are the strongest. Rune found that last sentence to be interesting and repeated it to herself…
Later in the day, Yuki was visited by three members of the school’s Discipline Committee (Suzume, Raku & Haru Kazashiro) who are there to enforce the rules of good behavior, purity and integrity. They noticed her’s blonde hair goes against their rules so they started calling her a delinquint who is impure and violating compliance. Their solution was to dye her hair black straight away! They all grabbed Yuki and brought out a bottle of hair dye when all of a sudden the student who Yuki bumped into earlier came out to save her! The student is Toga Amasawa and it turns out she is so popular in the school that other students formed a fan club, which goes against the Discipline Committee’s rules. Yuki & Toga freed themselves from the Committee’s clutches and were about to make their escape when another group of students suddenly approached them.
To the tune of “Timing” by Black Biscuits, three students made their entrance to the ring. They were all members of the Student Council: President Shoko Domanakajima (Shoko Nakajima), Secretary Shinogono Suzuki (Shino Suzuki) and Vice President Mahrio Kiryunen (Mahiro Kiryu). The Council were here to crack down on the Committee’s strict and tyrannical ways. After chasing the Committee away, the Council then tried to recruit Yuki and Toga to join their side because they are currently understaffed. Toga wasn’t interested and walked off by herself, leaving Yuki behind. She didn’t want to join but all of a sudden Rune ran in saying she will do it alongside her! Looks like Yuki has no choice but to go along with it.
With her first day of school finished, Yuki walked home in the rain where she once again saw Toga down the street. Toga had found a kitten that was getting soaked in the rain so he was doing what he could to help it. Yuki joined in and had a talk where Toga explained his poor family background to her. Feeling sympathetic, Yuki asked Toga to meet her at this same spot tomorrow so she can help him take care of the kitten too.
The next day at the Student Council meeting, Rune suddenly ran into the room panicking. She told everyone something weird has happened to the Discipline Committee. The Committee then arrived singing and dancing to “Cosmic Treat” by Perfume then introduced themselves as Haruchi (Haru Kazashiro), Ra-chan (Raku) and Suzumebachi (Suzume). Together the three of them make up Panic! Shoko realized that they had been taken over by aliens so they must fight to bring them back to their senses! A wrestling match suddenly broke out and despite a moment when Rune got in the way, the Council were victorious in the end. The bell rang and the Discipline Committee returned to normal, remembering why they wanted to be pro wrestlers in the first place (to take naps during matches, do Kamen Rider poses and become cooler than everyone else). They also all remembered they got Fs in their mock exams which is why they thought becoming plain and strictly following the rules would solve their problems. Yuki then taught them the lesson that pro wrestlers are strong and cool because they are true towards what they like.
Everyone then started to wonder how and why the Committee were taken over by aliens. They brought up having a black notebook that contains information on all of the transfer students when all of a sudden a loud sound made them all fall to the ground, clutching their heads in pain. When they recovered they all noticed the notebook had gone missing! Rune told everyone they need to get help from a teacher and ran off to go look for Rika-sensai. She found her in the science lab where she was trying to convince Toga to drink a special liquid that would turn her into the perfect pro wrestler! Toga refused and had to physically stop Rika from forcing her to drink it when Rune made her late entrance…
Rune returned to the others with an alarming update. Both Rika & Toga had also been taken over by aliens! The two then showed up singing and dancing to “UFO” by Pink Lady. Yuki tried to check if Toga was ok but he pushed her away, making the Student Council feel the need to start another wrestling match to save them. Again Rune stepped in trying to help but got in the Council’s way. However the Council recovered and were able to win, ringing the bell to restore Rika & Toga’s memories. Rika realized that her love for students had gotten out of control and she was no longer fit to be a teacher. Toga meanwhile admitted to Yuki that she wants actually wants to wear the same uniform as everyone else because she likes cute, girly things too. She promised not to hide her girlish side from Yuki for now on.
The situation had now become an emergency so Rika went to look for her transfer student documents to figure out what was going on. However she too was then struck by the noise attack and the documents went missing in the process. Rika-sensei had no choice but to close the school for everyone’s safety. Yuki and Shoko decided to walk home together when Suzuki chased after them, telling them that Mahiro had gotten herself into danger! She left her school bag behind and when she went back to the classroom to get it, she found Rune sitting alone trying to cover up the transfer student documents! Mahiro grabbed them wondering what it was and noticed the photograph on Rune’s document was that of a completely different person (Haruna Neko)! Before Mahiro could do anything about it, Rune knocked her out by shooting beams from her hands at her. The rest of the Student Council arrived and at this point realised that Rune was an alien all this time! Rune confessed it is true. She is actually Urahime of the Ura Earthlings and comes from the most competitive planet in the universe. She has come here to conquer Earth! During the intermission Tatsumi asked everyone in the dressing room where Misao (in Aino’s body) went. Nakajima went looking for her and found her sitting down the stairway. She asked if she was feeling nervous and told her it will be all over soon. Misao/Aino told her she’ll do her best.
Back to the story. Urahime had now revealed her true self by singing and dancing to the song “Invader Invader” by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. She then used her beam to revive Mahiro and take control of her. Suzuki ran towards them trying to save her friend but Urahime hit her with the same beam, taking control of her too. Shoko & Yuki now had to fight the three of them in a wrestling match with Shoko trying to get her friends to snap back to normal. However the power of friendship was not powerful enough to overwhelm Urahime’s beams so Shoko needed Yuki’s help to beat them. Shoko pinned Urahime and Yuki rang the bell to bring everyone back to normal.
Urahime showed regret for her actions and promised to reform if she could be allowed to join the Academy so she can study pro wrestling. Shoko gave her her endorsement because she enjoyed fighting her so much and wants to do it more. Suzuki called this a historic moment that needs to be written down. Mahiro said this school is so great that she’s definitely going to repeat the year. And so our heroes had saved Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling Academy from an alien invasion! The End.
No wait, that’s not it just yet. The story had finished and Misao/Aino gathered all the cast members to the ring when suddenly Hyper Misao walked out on the stage. Everyone thought it was Yuki Aino in Misao’s body but she dropped the act and admitted there was no body swap to begin with. Aino dropped her act too and showed everyone a video to explain what was going on. Back when Misao drank her energy drinks to finish writing the script she actually gave up, broke free from her chair and left her office. Aino caught her trying to leave the building and tried to stop her. Misao said the script was completed but she isn’t confident it will be good so she wants to disappear for a while. She’s caused everyone enough trouble already and suggested Koda can book four matches on the fly as a replacement show. Misao then ran off, leaving Aino by herself. Aino could hear other people approaching the building so she came up with a plan on the spot to pretend that somebody abducted Misao and Misao swapped bodies with Aino in the process.
Back in the ring everyone was coming to terms with the truth. Suzuki thought it made sense because body swaps don’t work that way. Nakajima however pointed out it does happen that way in pro wrestling! Raku then realized that all this time it was Aino who handled all of the preparations and rehearsals while Misao was missing. Misao apologized and talked about how last year she got injured right before “HYPE! 2”. When she came back and won the Princess Tag Team Titles with Nakajima, she had decided on the plot for this year’s show. However this year she got injured before the show again and became worried she lost everyone’s trust. She decided to run away but secretly came back today to watch the dress rehearsal and full performance. She saw all these amazingly talented people make her script turn out a hundred million times better than she expected so she had no choice but to walk out and apologize to everyone.
Aino could understand Misao’s regrets because she has many regrets too. When she was a child her sister Nodoka Tenma and their father would perform in community musicals together. She loved watching them but whenever she was asked if she would like to join them, she never had the confidence to do it. She always regretted that so when she was offered the main role of today’s show this time she wouldn’t refuse. She thanked Misao for coming up with today’s script and giving her this opportunity. When Tenma graduated from Tokyo Joshi Pro three years ago, it left Aino with a big gap in her wrestling life and she ended up feeling like she was stuck in a maze. Then when Sayuri Namba’s graduation took place recently, she realized she was never alone. She just avoided taking the time to look at everything surrounding her. The warm and uplifting TJPW ring helps broaden her world and she loves fighting in front of the fans. She is passionate now but wants to get even more passionate so she challenged Misao to a match right there, right now!
After a replay of the intro (both times included a Namba cameo) allowed the two wrestlers to get into their gear, the main event singles match between Hyper Misao and Yuki Aino began. Misao took the microphone and told everyone this is her first singles match since coming back from injury. It is a match she cannot afford to lose and she wants to be passionate from the bottom of her heart. But when she reached out to shake Aino’s hand she got a cheap shot in by kicking her in the gut. But Aino got Misao into the corner and started a Train Attack featuring the cast of the show all still acting in character. The match then became more normal and even serious afterwards. As it entered its final few minutes, Misao applied the Crossface Chicken Wing and almost smothered Aino with it but she was able to reach a rope break. Misao then climbed the top rope but Aino grabbed her and did a Super Side Suplex. They then blocked each other’s signature moves until Aino was able to pull off the Venus DDT. However Aino was too slow to make the pin and only got a two count out of it. Misao was also able to kick out of a Side Suplex and do a Flying Cross Body for a nearfall of her own when the bell rang to signal a time limit draw.
Misao told Aino after the match that is was super exciting. She doesn’t know if it’s because she has so many feelings built up inside her but this was the first time she did a singles match in such a bad mental state. Her heart has never burned hotter than it had from fighting Aino today. She trusts everybody in TJPW which is why she wants everyone to trust her. She wanted Aino to have the main role today because she always tries to help others stay calm and collected, even if it means she never gives priority to her own passions. So she was so happy when Aino approached her asking for a singles match against each other to happen on this show. Aino said Misao always puts herself down when she should never be saying things like that. Everyone here thinks Misao’s ideas are funny, they all love her for it and it makes them sad whenever she says things like that. Nakajima then spoke on the mic, telling Misao that while working hard on your own can be a good thing, is can also be a bad thing. Everyone has fun working on “HYPE!” so she shouldn’t be worrying too much. She then passed the microphone to Kiryu who admitted she had nothing to say after watching the match. Tatsumi scolder her but what she meant was she has nothing else to say that others haven’t already said. Misao took the mic back and got to close out the show. She said it didn’t felt right to do the the first two times but she’s sure it will get better as they go along. “I get HYPE! We get HYPE!”

7. Mizuki, Hyper Misao, Yuki Aino & Pom Harajuku defeated Yuki Arai, Mahiro Kiryu, HIMAWARI, Haru Kazashiro when Harajuku pinned Kazashiro with the Pom de Justice (12:21).
Today was Sayuri Namba’s graduation from Tokyo Joshi Pro. But before her last day with the company was done, Hyper Misao had a request for her in the main event. Misao asked Namba to do her own superhero introduction but it was all so Misao could stick a spray can in her hand and force her to blind the other team with it. Namba was too scared to stop and ended up spraying the can towards everybody. Mizuki & Yuki Aino brought the ring bell and hammer into the ring and held them out for Namba to officially start the match while Misao was pinning Haru Kazashiro. Namba rang the bell and Kazashiro kicked out at two. The match got more serious when Mizuki and Yuki Arai fought each other while HIMAWARI was able to handle what Misao was giving her. Misao blinded Kiryu with the spray and tagged out to Pom Harajuku. She screamed in Mahiro Kiryu’s face and Kiryu told her to shut up afterward. Instead of apologizing, she instead tagged in Kazashiro. The match broke down into all eight wrestlers fighting in the ring. Mizuki’s team got the upper hand with all four of them hitting signature moves on their opponents. Harajuku then gave Kazashiro the Pom de Justice to get the win.
Harajuku had tears of joy because she got to do the post-match winner’s call today. She invited Namba into the ring but Namba said Pom crying is going to make her cry too. Harajuku said she is sad Namba is graduating but she is doing it with a goal for the future and that will motivate Harajuku to push herself towards her own goals. Namba noticed that Harajuku was wearing the costume from her debut match seven years ago. She then talked about starting out in TJPW around the same time as when Harajuku, Kiryu and Haruna Neko were trainees so to her it is like they are all the same age. The time Namba spent in TJPW is a treasure she will cherish forever and she owes it to everyone in the company for making it such a sparkling time. She was gifted with a bouquet by Aino and Raku. Suzume and Kiryu then gave her a commemorative album. Kiryu wanted to wipe the tears away from Namba’s face but used a water-soluble tissue that left bits of paper behind so Aino had to carefully clean them off Namba. Everyone then gathered in the ring around Namba so they could all announce her name together to officially end her career as TJPW’s ring announcer. Nao Kakuta also appeared for Namba’s final group photo.
It’s been over a year since Daydream last teamed up together and they haven’t skipped a beat together. Rika Tatsumi thought it didn’t feel that long since they last teamed up but Miu Watanabe didn’t agree with her. What they do agree on is their chemistry was perfect as always. Tatsumi can see how much Watanabe has evolved away from her while Watanabe knows she can match up to Tatsumi’s needs better than anyone else. Daydream also used the sasumata poles to trap Shoko Nakajima again and Chika Nanase got caught in one this time too. Nakajima expected Daydream to do something unexpected and they exceeded her expectations today. Nanase worked hard to help her but Nakajima thinks she needs Misao with her to beat Daydream. She was asked by a reporter if she will come up with a countermeasure for the sasumata poles and she thinks it would be pointless to do so. Kyoraku Kyomei might bring a hidden weapon of their own or they might do the unthinkable and fight Daydream fair and square.
Suzume scored a clean pin on her upcoming challenger Moka Miyamoto. During their tag match the International Princess Champion countered the Korokan into a Backslide that moved into a low Ring A Bell. She then used a Flying Facecrusher followed by a full power Ring A Bell to score the three count for Daisy Monkey. She was happy to win the match by herself and get revenge for Miyamoto recently pinning her earlier this month. She was even happier to hear Namba announce her as the winner one last time. Miyamoto knows she is lacking a lot of things and said she will analyze them more heading into the title match.
There is a little sheep doll that Ren Konatsu clips to her belt and it caught Raku’s attention. She thinks it matches her outfit better so she took it off Konatsu and used it to power up her lullaby, sending Konatsu to sleep. She then used the doll on Maki Itoh while Shino Suzuki held her in place but the lullaby sent both of them to sleep too. Raku then accidentally turned the doll on herself, resulting on all four wrestlers napping in the ring. Fumirin counted a quadruple pin of everyone but they all woke up and kicked out at two. Raku then threw the doll out of the ring.
Yuki Kamifuku missed the show because of a foot injury. The 3 Way Match she was booked for instead became just Yoshiko Hasegawa against Uta Takami.
Despite a few delays the 1st Round in the Tokyo Princess Cup preliminary league has been completed in time. Today featured the last two matches of the opening round. Ivy Steele comes out of this competition with the biggest upset so far by beating Toga. It took Steele blocking the Rock Bottom and hitting a Snap Enzuigiri to Toga to get out of harm’s way. Steele then used a Spinning Pumphandle Back Drop to get the win. Steele said losing to Toga before prepared her for today and made her work hard for the victory. Toga thought she would win today but realizes that was a bit arrogant of her to think that way. In the other match Wakana Uehara made Kira Summer submit to the Banana Pillow. Uehara doesn’t know who to expect in Round 2 but she wants to beat whoever it is to qualify for the Princess Cup. Summer tried to be more aggressive than usual but it didn’t work this time. She wants to continue getting more aggressive so the next time she will win.
It was announced that TeaDK, the team of Chris Brookes & Emi Sakura will return to TJPW for “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25” on 21st July. Their opponents are to be determined.

The last of the Tokyo Princess Cup 1st Round preliminary matches take place here. The delayed Wakana Uehara Vs Kira Summer bout finally goes ahead while Toga clashes with Ivy Steele.
Mifu Ashida will miss the show due to a scheduling conflict.

All the fun and games from the last show are now out of the way. Now we’ll see how BASARA’s new management will handle something a bit more serious. Takeru Inoue is back from his dislocated right elbow injury. If he beats the new president Ryota Nakatsu it could immediately launch him into getting the Union MAX Title shot at Korakuen Hall later this year.
1. Special Single Match: Mr. Bueno Vs Dark King Ueki
2. Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda Vs Munek & Ram Kaichow
3. King Of Square: MAO Vs X
4. BK-G Openweight Title: Mr. Malo (c) Vs X
Another BK-G Openweight Title defence is coming up for Mr. Malo but he won’t know who his challenger is until they show up. In a similar bit, MAO is also going to face a mystery wrestler to prove who is the most square shaped fighter around. I heard rumours that Dr. Cube was spotted somewhere in Japan causing fights in bars over the weekend but it just turned out to be Zack Sabre Jr. in disguise.
We’re going to see what it’s like for Ram Kaichow to fight under the control of Dark King Ueki and Munek. She’s been able to wrestle in other places pretty normally (if what she does can be called normal) ever since they trapped her soul, to the point that until she saw the match announcement she forgot she’s supposed to be on their side. Must be pretty relaxing when you forget you’re supposed to be someone’s prisoner.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2025 IN FUJISAWA”, 11/05/2025 Fujisawa City Shonandai Cultural Center 384 Fans – No Vacancy
1. Miu Watanabe & Mifu Ashida defeated Haru Kazashiro & Kira Summer when Watanabe submitted Summer with the Canadian Backbreaker (8:14).

3. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Suzume, Haruna Neko & Chika Nanase when Raku pinned Nanase with the Doctor Yellow (10:27).
4. Yuki Arai & Moka Miyamoto defeated HIMAWARI & Uta Takami when Arai submitted Takami with the Scorpion Death Lock (10:16).
5. Yoshiko Hasegawa & Kaya Toribami defeated Mizuki & Shino Suzuki when Hasegawa pinned Suzuki with the Diving Double Knee Attack (11:46).
6. Aja Kong defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the Back Drop (7:30).
7. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (w/ Fujikyun♡) defeated Maki Itoh & Toga when Kamifuku pinned Toga with the Diving Famouser (13:02).
As is usually the case when Tokyo Joshi Pro visits Yuki Kamifuku’s neck of the woods, the show was a charity event sponsored by Fujisawa City. Part of the proceeds were donated to a university scholarship fund made to support local children. In the main event Ober Eats were accompanied by the city mascot Fujikyun♡ who cheered them on and even helped Kamifuku reach a rope break at one point. Maki Itoh was in a cheeky mood for the match because she wanted to beat up Fujikyun♡. Then when she found out where Kamifuku’s parents were sitting she dragged Kamifuku over to them in a Headlock and got them to spank Kamifuku! Wakana Uehara took out Itoh with a Snap Suplex, allowing Kamifuku to Dropkick Toga and pin her with the Diving Famouser.
Kamifuku thanked everyone for coming to the show even with a disruption to the Odakyu Line today. This is the fourth time TJPW put on a show like this for her which means a lot because Fujisawa City is an important part of her identity. She told a story of meeting her middle school teacher recently. The teacher told Kamifuku they remembered she always wanted to be in showbiz and it must have been tough to take such a difficult path to get there. Kamifuku told the teacher that children aren’t as weak as they think and anyone can make their dreams come true. She also reminded everyone today is Mother’s Day so remember to thank your parents. She later told Uehara she hopes today encourages her to liven up Ebina just like how Kamifuku livens up Fujisawa. Elsewhere Itoh told Toga they just lost what was supposed to be her triumphant return match in Japan.
Before the Aja Kong Vs Mahiro Kiryu match could begin, Kiryu noticed Kong brought along an 18 gallon steel can and asked if she was going to hit her with it? Kong says so what, it counts as part of her body so what’s the problem? The response must have stirred something within Kiryu because she then claimed she will not apologize today and will beat Kong instead! She then apologized for saying that and when the match began apologized again for telling everyone she wasn’t going to apologize only to immediately go back on her promise. She gave it a good go after that but Kong treated her like a small fry. She hit Kiryu over the head with the steel can and then knocked her down with a Lariat. Kiryu kicked out of the pin, earning her a chant from the fans but Kong then pinned her with the Back Drop. After the match Kong patted Kiryu on the head and told her she wasn’t a small fry after all. Her lesson was if Kiryu can work that hard against her then she is capable of working hard in general. She thanked TJPW for booking her today then started talking about wanting a singles match with Kamifuku because Kamifuku keeps running away from the idea!
Today was Fumirin’s first day working with TJPW as a referee. She was the official for the first, third and fifth matches on the show while Daisuke Kiso was the ref for the other matches on the card. Fumirin had to deal with Pom Harajuku’s screaming in Match #3 which was described as her being baptised into the company.
Hyper Misao missed the show due to a right hand injury so some of the undercard matches had to be changed around.

5b. Rika Tatsumi eliminated Maki Itoh with a School Boy (11:25).

6. Costume Change Match: Mizuki, Suzume, Pom Harajuku & Yoshiko Hasegawa defeated Wakana Uehara, HIMAWARI, Hyper Haru & Toga when Mizuki pinned Haru with the Cutie Special (12:10).
After skipping 2024, the annual Tokyo Joshi Pro show that is only open to Wrestle Universe members was brought back this year. It is the show where once a year things in TJPW are not as they should be. The main event was an 8-Woman Tag where everyone was given a different wrestler’s costume and they were encouraged to behave like the person they dress up as. One team consisted of Wakana Uehara as Miyu Yamashita, HIMAWARI as Shoko Nakajima, Haru Kazashiro as Hyper Misao (temporarily renaming herself Hyper Haru) and Toga as Haruna Neko. The other team were all dressed up as The Up Up Girls! That meant Mizuki was Shino Suzuki, Suzume was Raku, Pom Harajuku was Uta Takami and Yoshiko Hasegawa was Miu Watanabe. The Fake Up Up Girls even dance to “I Don’t Want To Lose” to get themselves motivated and it helped them get the win.
It turns out you can apply the game of Werewolf to pro wrestling. It was a 5 Way Match where the five competitors were unknowingly split into two sides. Three of them were Citizens and two were Werewolves. Two Count Pinfalls were in effect and the first side to eliminate two players from the other team would win. Every three minutes the match would pause so everyone could deduce who the Werewolves were before going back to fighting. There was also a bonus Fortune Teller role given to one of the Citizens where they were allowed to nominate one person and be told if they were a Werewolf or not. Suzuki was the Fortune Teller and she made Maki Itoh reveal she was a Werewolf. Itoh then eliminated Suzuki but was beaten by Rika Tatsumi shortly after that. With one Werewolf left, Tatsumi was heavily suspected to be one because according to Nakajima, Tatsumi normally behaves like a Werewolf. However Kaya Toribami then rolled up Nakajima from behind to pin her, revealing she was the other Werewolf all along and the Werewolf team had now won the match!
Four of the most athletic wrestlers in TJPW were put into a tag match that tested their brain power as much as their physical abilities. After every 1 Count Pinfall, the winner would be asked an elementary school question. Whichever team gets three questions right first would win. Nobody understood the rules at first but eventually figured them out. They also got a bunch of questions wrong. Gradually the two teams had 2 points each and scrambled to get 1 Count pins. Takami got one on Yamashita and scored the final point to get the win for herself and Watanabe. It was not Yamashita and Arisu Endo’s brightest moment that’s for sure.
I don’t know what Hyper Misao did but she convinced Mahiro Kiryu & Moka Miyamoto to take up the capes and masks to become superheroes just like her. However two of their opponents Yuki Aino & Haruna Neko pulled out of the match on short notice due to stomach pains and were replaced by the luchadoras Yuki Caras & Mil Nekocaras. They teamed up with Raku who seemingly disappeared during the match only to be replaced by a dancing skeleton. No it wasn’t La Parka, it was La Karuka! The lucha trio took over until Nekocaras failed to do the 619 and injured her legs from bouncing off the ropes. Misao pinned her with La Magistral Cradle to give the superheroes the win.
More international flair was brought to TJPW in the match before that. Ivy Steele fought Kira Summer in a match pitting Great Britain against Australia. Summer entered the ring dressed in a bush costume while carrying a stuffed koala toy. She offered Steele some Vegemite before the match but Steele refused because she didn’t want to eat it. Summer forced her to taste it while the wrestled causing Steele to kick away the koala toy in anger. Summer got some payback by beating her with the Samoan Drop.
Compared to everything else on the show, Yuki Kamifuku versus Chika Nanase was quite normal. Kamifuku teased Nanase by calling her so uninteresting it’s almost pitiful. Nanase was fired up to fight her but Kamifuku was the one standing tall in the end.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’25”, 16/03/2025 Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium 1,212 Fans

10. Princess Of Princess Title – STOMPING Presents: Mizuki (c) defeated Rika Tatsumi with the Modified Face Lock (21:14). *V1 for Mizuki.
Ok so maybe love isn’t always the answer. After many years in the making, Rika Tatsumi finally got to wrestle the love of her life Mizuki and was willing to risk it all to win the Princess Of Princess Title. Her gameplan was to target Mizuki’s legs and pick them apart with Dragon Screws, Kneebusters and the Figure 4 Leg Lock. But Mizuki’s resiliance meant she was able to withstand the pain and still use the Diving Foot Stomp to great effect. Tatsumi had another plan and that was to use the Hip Attack to counter the Whirling Candy. She used the Dragon Sleeper to continue wearing her opponent down but when she climbed the top rope, Mizuki followed her and delivered an Avalanche Cutie Special. She used more Foot Stomps to fight off the Dragon Sleeper and soon applied the Face Lock. Tatsumi tried rolling out of it but reached her breaking point when Mizuki modified the hold into a Crossface variant for the submission victory.
Mizuki told the fans to give her a moment after the match so she could talk to Tatsumi. She’s not as nice as Tatsumi thinks she is but she is still glad to know Tatsumi always liked her. Today they got to know each other better which means Mizuki now loves Tatsumi even more. They hugged and Mizuki thanked the fans for spending this special day with Tokyo Joshi Pro. Backstage Mizuki said she had complicated feelings about the match that she didn’t really understand. She was worried Tatsumi would dislike her if she revealed everything about herself. But she still gave it her all because the championship is so important. She doesn’t know if they’ve become close enough to start teaming together or if she is better off keeping a comfortable distance away from Tatsumi again. Tatsumi admitted she thought her love for Mizuki was always one-sided but today there was a moment when their feelings connected. That’s enough to make her happy and have her looking forward to the future. She would love to team up with Mizuki a lot if it is possible.
Success was on the minds of Kyoraku Kyomei when they came face to face against 121000000. They brought their Max Heart Tournament trophies down to the ring with them and encouraged each other to keep shouting in order to win. That was the cue for Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao to launch an ambush but Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh were ready for them and easily fought back. The match went outside where Misao crashed the Hyper Mobile into Yamashita (who then bumped into Mahiro Kiryu). Itoh then knocked Misao off her bike with her microphone. She later gave Nakajima a Death Valley Driver and but Nakajima fired back with a Top Rope Frankensteiner. The focus switched to Yamashita against Misao where a High Kick from Yamashita knocked Misao’s mask off her face! Misao continued to fight with her face fully exposed but still needed Nakajima’s help until Itoh came to Yamashita’s aid. Nakajima was taken out with the Headbutt/High Knee combo. Misao took more strikes but suddenly countered Yamashita’s Attitude Adjustment into the Vanitas! She wore down Yamashita with the Crossface Chickenwing with a 619 from Nakajima added for more damage. Itoh tried to make the save but Nakajima cut her off from the ring apron with the Diving Senton. With the coast clear, Misao gave Yamashita the Hypami Returns and scored the three count!
Backstage Kyoraku Kyomei said they must be dreaming because they finally beat 121000000 to become the new Princess Tag Team Champions! Both Nakajima and Misao have held the title before but they were at very different point of their careers. Nakajima remembers becoming the first champion with Yuka Sakazaki and thinks they lost the belts before they could become the ideal tag team. Today was the ideal match she had in mind so she’s really happy to finally reach it. Misao felt like she was always chasing after Nakajima and 121000000 for all of the hard work they do to grow TJPW. She felt that way even more when she got injured last year. These are two of the oldest teams in TJPW so today felt like Kyoraku Kyomei’s last chance to fight 121000000 for a big prize. The rematch hurt more than the first match two years ago but it was also more fun for them. They now want to defend the titles in unconventional ways.
As for 121000000 it could be time to call it a day. It was Yamashita’s idea for the team to split up if they couldn’t reach ten successful title defences and they didn’t even make it to five. But she does not want to go ahead with it and will continue the team if Itoh wants her to. Itoh cannot imagine teaming with anyone other than Yamashita… but maybe now is the right time for them to separate for a while so they can become stronger. When the timing is right 121000000 will get back together as a much stronger tag team. Yamashita promised she will do her best to get them to reunite some day.
The battle of Daisy Monkey is now scored at Suzume 4 – 0 Arisu Endo. There was a Camel Clutch spot that put the International Princess Champion in danger. Endo was able to spin Suzume into the centre of the ring with the move but Suzume was still able to fight her way towards getting a rope break. Suzume was then able to counter the Mt. Bandai into a Flying Facecrusher and also the Ju no Okite into a small form Ring A Bell for a nearfall. Endo blocked another Ring A Bell and tried to set up the Ju no Okite again but Suzume slipped out and landed an Oscutter style version of her finisher. That version is called the Spring Ring A Bell and it got Suzume the win! Endo said their bond has deepened even more and she still wants the title because somebody she loves has it! Suzume said Daisy Monkey’s dream has come true. She knows many fans want to see Endo win a singles title and so does she. But she doesn’t want to lose her IP Title and showed her determination with that match. She wants to hold onto the belt forever to prove that it suits her best more than anyone else in the world. Next she wants to go defend it in America before taking it across the world.
The next step for Yuki Arai’s wrestling career was to take on Meiko Satomura all by herself. Arai was able to hit the Rookie Award, the Full Nelson Buster and also apply the Scorpion Death Lock. But she couldn’t take it all the way by hitting the Finally. Satomura had that finisher scouted and blocked every attempt. When she was on the offensive she used moves like the Cartwheel Knee Drop, an STF and the Death Valley Bomb on her way to victory. Satomura gave Arai a hug after the match and later talked about being surprised at how good of a fighter Arai is. She has the right mix of technique, feeling and star quality that other wrestlers do not have. Satomura is glad to have fought Arai just before her own retirement and believes she can carry the future of joshi wrestling on her shoulders. Arai said she felt frustrated because this will be her only match with Satomura. She’ll keep what she learned today in her heart to do her best as a pro wrestler. Her goal now is to become strong enough to make everyone believe she can beat Satomura!
Power was finally matched up against power when Miu Watanabe fought against Willow Nightingale. Head Locks turned to Shoulder Tackles which then turned to Power Slams. Watanabe pulled off the Giant Swing and hit some Batting Hammer strikes before putting Nightingale in the Reverse Paradox. Nightingale fought back using an Oklahoma Stampede as well as a top rope Brainbuster. She avoided the Tear Drop and ran the ropes to crash into Watanabe with the Pounce before using the Babe With The Power Bomb to get the win. Backstage Nightingale talked about how she used Wrestle Universe to watch Watanabe grow but it’s still completely different to actually being in the ring with her. She gets why the two of them get compared to each other and the match reminded her why pro wrestling is amazing. Watanabe is disappointed that she lost but she hopes to follow Nightingale back to America. She’ll even go stay at her house if she’s allowed.
The pressure of being in a major championship match can be draining so Raku decided to bring out a futon so she could take a nap in the ring during her entrance. It also has the bonus feature of being used like a cape for when Raku did a diving Loy Thesz Press onto Pom Harajuku. Raku’s constant nap attacks made Harajuku drowsy so she boosted herself with a bottle of Red Bull and grew wings out of her back! Harajuku was fired up until Raku caught her in the Front Neck Lock to squeeze the energy out of her. Harajuku did hit the Pom de Justice in response but couldn’t follow up with the cover right away. Raku was able to get her senses back and won with the Doctor Yellow to become the new SETUP All Asia Women’s Champion! She said she was able to have the most heart-to-heart match with Harajuku and wants to continue walking with her down the same path. Also now that she has a championship she wants to defend it in many places. Harajuku said she was sad to lose the title but became happy for Raku when she was given the belt. She also has wings now so the championship did change Harajuku into becoming a stronger fighter.
A new costume for Wakana Uehara was just the start of her day. She went on to win a 6-Woman Tag Match that also had Aja Kong & Yuki Kamifuku as her partners. Kong was so strong that Haru Kazashiro & Toga needed to work together to get her off her feet by doing a Rock Bottom/Missile Dropkick combo. Yuki Aino softened up Uehara and left it to Kazashiro to finish the job. But Uehara blocked the Fisherman Suplex and caught her opponent in the Banana Pillow to make her submit. Uehara thanked her two partners for teaming with her. Kamifuku pointed out they all wore glitter to connect as a team together. She also asked Kong if she will be available for her homecoming show on 11th May. There is also a cool bar that recently opened up there that she wants to take Kong to. Kong asked if she could challenge Kamifuku for the Queen Of Asia Title but Kamifuku tried to put her off the idea by making it sound like she’ll have to jump through a lot of hoops with her agency to make that happen. Meanwhile Aino gave an encouraging speech to Kazashiro & Toga. They shouldn’t think they are no good anymore just because they lost today. They are only just two years into their career so they should be thinking “I lost today but I will definitely win next time!”
Max The Impaler was too much of an immovable object for Moka Miyamoto to handle. She was able to knock Max down with the Zero Fighter Kick but when she applied the Rashomon, Max powered out of the move and shook her off. There was a Senton for a nearfall and then a Lariat that put Miyamoto down for the count. Max took Miyamoto’s ribbon after the match to take home as their newest trophy. They are matching it with the hair accessory they previously took from HIMAWARI. Miyamoto said she couldn’t find any weaknesses in Max so she will come up with more countermeasures so she can win the next time they fight.
Remember, Mahiro Kiryu is in the blue gear with the one leg exposed while Kakeru Sekiguchi is in the blue gear with the other leg exposed. Got it? Despite that useful piece of information, Uta Takami couldn’t tell them apart. That gave Haruna Neko the chance to attack while Takami was confused. Ivy Steele and Kira Summer were briefly pitted against each other. Kaya Toribami got to lead her team on the offensive and Chika Nanase wanted to score the win. But Neko stopped Nanase with a Neckbreaker Drop, setting Kiryu up to use the Spinebuster for the win. Toribami apologised to Nanase for not helping her enough. But when Takami apologised for mixing up Kiryu & Sekiguchi, Toribami told her she didn’t have to.
The first match of the day saw the “transfer student tag team” of Yoshiko Hasegawa & Mifu Ashida beat HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki. Hasegawa and Suzuki fought back and forth trying to apply the Muffler Hold and the Sleeper Hold respectively. HIMAWARI tried to break it off so Ashida took her out of the ring. That allowed Hasegawa to pin Suzuki with the Diving Double Knee Attack. HIMAWARI said she looked forward to fighting Ashida today because she is a type of wrestlers that didn’t previously exist in TJPW. Ashida called the result a new starting point so she and Hasegawa can get into the habit of winning more often.
Sayuri Namba announced TJPW will be part of a marketing campaign for a collaboration between the sports brand FILA and a Korean women’s clothing brand called OJOS. Mizuki and Maki Itoh have already taken part in photoshoots to be used in upcoming marketing material.
