Tokyo Joshi Pro continues their fall house show tour today with an event in Tokyo, which will feature more comings and goings on the roster. The coming is a comeback featuring the return of Neko Haruna, who has been out for over a year (since Fall 2023) due to injury but will make her return today. The going is today will be the final match for Runa Okubo before she goes on another extended hiatus. Like the first time she took a long break, this is to allow her to focus on education (she’s only 16 and started high school earlier this year) and was a mutual decision made between Okubo, the promotion and her parents. It’s not known how long she will be away this time but she will be back at some point.
Before the event begins there will be a draft meeting to determine the teams for a Raku Team vs. Pom Harajuku Team Battle at the 11/10 event.
Today’s event will be held at Ryogoku KFC Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There will be no commentary. There are 7 matches scheduled including a NEXGENE Tournament match with no time limit, but I expect this to be a “regular” house show with a total running time of, not including the draft meeting, about 2 hours.
Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Yuki Aino, Pom Harajuku & Raku vs. Neko Haruna, Suzume & Mahiro Kiryu
NEXGENE Tournament: Haru Kazashiro vs. Uta Takami
Miu Watanabe & Wakana Uehara vs. Mizuki & Shino Suzuki
Yuki Kamifuku vs. Runa Okubo
Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh vs. Rika Tatsumi & HIMAWARI
Shoko Nakajima & Yoshiko Hasegawa vs. Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami
Arisu Endo & Toga vs. Kira Summer & Chika Nanase

Updates below will begin at 8:30 PM PT/11:30 PM ET. The live stream is scheduled to begin 20 minutes before the event, so there’s a chance updates begin 10 minutes prior to the event if the draft meeting is shown.
8:10 PM PT UPDATE: The live stream has begun. We should go to the venue in 10-20 minutes depending on whether or not they show the draft meeting beforehand.
8:20 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.
We are LIVE from Ryogoku KFC Hall in Tokyo, Japan. There is no commentary.
The paid attendance will be announced after the event. Sayuri Namba was already in the ring for the draft meeting so no good look yet. These events typically do 200-250 so we’ll see. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 350, a super full house/very near sellout. Very high for a KFC house show. Full capacity is, I believe, between 450-500. Clearly a lot of people came out to see Neko Haruna return)
They are doing a random name draw for teams for a Raku Army vs. Pom Harajuku Army battle on 11/10. The matches should begin in about 20 minutes.
The matches begin at 8:50 PM PT/11:50 PM ET. Lots of announcements beforehand including by Mizuki, Yuki Aino & Hyper Misao. More on those later (The announcements were the first outside Tokyo 2025 events on 1/11 at Kobe Art Center in Kobe and 1/12 at Okayama Mirai Hall in Okayama, and that Hyper Misao will return on 11/22).
Match 1: Arisu Endo & Toga vs. Kira Summer & Chika Nanase. 20 minute time limit
Result: Arisu Endo & Toga beat Kira Summer & Chika Nanase. Endo beat Nanase with a camel clutch.
Match 2: Yuki Aino, Pom Harajuku & Raku vs. Neko Haruna, Suzume & Mahiro Kiryu. 20 minute time limit
Result: Yuki Aino, Pom Harajuku & Raku beat Neko Haruna, Suzume & Mahiro Kiryu. Aino pinned Haruna after Venus DDT.
Match 3: NEXGENE Tournament: Haru Kazashiro vs. Uta Takami. No time limit
Reslut: Haru Kazashiro beat Uta Takami. As a result, Kazashiro advances to the Semifinals on 11/16 and will face the Wakana Uehara-Chika Nanase winner. That match will happen on 11/3.
Match 4: Yuki Kamifuku vs. Runa Okubo. 15 minute time limit
Result: Yuki Kamifuku beat Runa Okubo. Afterwards, Kamifuku left first as Okubo was able to address the crowd as this was her last match before she goes on an indefinite hiatus to focus on school. Understandably she was very emotional as she thanked the fans for their support. She will be back some day, we just don’t know when.
Match 5: Shoko Nakajima & Yoshiko Hasegawa vs. Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami. 20 minute time limit
Result: Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami beat Shoko Nakajima & Yoshiko Hasegawa. Miyamoto beat Hasegawa with Rashomon.

The next event is 11/3 at G Messe Gunma in Gunma, a Mahiro Kiryu hometown event. There will be no live broadcast.
Post-show note: Here ate the draft results from the start of the event for 11/10:
Team Raku-Raku, HIMAWARI, Ryo Mizunami, Ram Kaichow, Yuki Arai, Haru Kazashiro, Shino Suzuki, Chika Nanase
