Tokyo Joshi Pro continues the Tokyo Princess Cup today with the Quarterfinals. We now know the eventual tournament winner will be facing Yuki Arai for the Princess Of Princess Championship at WRESTLE PRINCESS 7 in October, but not yet who. Today the field gets narrowed down to 4 then a redraw will be held to mix up the Semifinals so it may not match what the bracket looks like so far.

Today’s event will be held at Ryogoku KFC Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. You will also be able to watch THE FULL EVENT FOR FREE on YouTube (only the live broadcast, no archive/on demand replay). The event is a legit advance sellout. There will be no commentary. There are 7 matches planned and the tournament matches have 30 minute time linits so with the post-event draw it will likely go a little longer than a regular house show, probably about 2 1/4 hours.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Miu Watanabe & Ren Konatsu vs. Wakana Uehara & Mono Sato
Miyu Yamashita, Sakura Hattori, Haru Kazashiro & Chika Nanase vs. Yuki Kamifuku, Raku, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami
Yuki Arai, Mifu Ashida & Shion Kanzaki vs. Mizuki, Mahiro Kiryu & Pom Harajuku
Tokyo Princess Cup Quarterfinals:
Suzume vs. Shoko Makajima
Toga vs. Yuki Aino
Arisu Endo vs. HIMAWARI
Rika Tatsumi vs. Hyper Misao

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. It’s a legit advance sellout which means it could be as high as roughly 500, but based on past sellouts they’ve had here it likely will be 390-400. )UPDATE: The announced paid attendance, a legit advance sellout, was 365. A couple empty front-row seats could be seen at times on the hard camera when close-up though)

Main Event: Suzume vs. Shoko Makajima

There will be a first-time tournament winner this year as a result of today (Nakajima won it in 2015).

The Semifinals draw will be held at a later time. I thought is would be after the main event but it was not. Updates to follow.

The Semifinals are 8/16 at 176BOX in Osaka. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin on 8/15 at 8 PM PT/11 PM ET.

UPDATE: As a result of the post-event draw (not shown on stream), the Semifinals will be Suzume vs. HIMAWARI and Tatsumi vs. Toga. Before the draw my pick to win was Tatsumi but my heart wanted Toga to win as she’s been right on the verge of a major breakout for quite a while now. We’ll see what happens.

Tokyo Joshi Pro is taking part in this weekend’s TIF LOVE&PEACE event in Tokyo, featuring some wrestling matches alongside J-Pop idol-centric performances and more. The wrestling matches were split between two sessions.

Today’s events were held at an unspecified location in Tokyo. There is/was (and likely will be) no live or on demand broadcast.

The attendance was not announced due to being a special event.

The morning session began with appaearances by Yuki Arai & Wakana Uehara (both former J-Pop idols) explaining the wrestling tules to the fans.

Match 1: Suzume & Arisu Endo beat Toga & Shion Kanzaki. Endo pinned Kanzaki after The 10th Law.

After this was a segment with ring announcer Rise Shirai, a performance by Nagoya group THE ENCORE, and STREAMERS!!!

Match 2: Raku won a 10 woman battle royal, last eliminating Mizuki & Uta Takami together. Mainly TJPW wrestlers but former TJPW wrestler Marika Kobashi, now a freelancer, also participated.

After that match…

Marika Kobashi beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Raku to win the title. Kobashi becomes the 1847th Champion.

A couple minutes later…

Amanda beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Marika Kobashi to win the title. Amanda becomes the 1848th Champion.

The morning session then ended with a performance by KLP48.

Afternoon session:

The session began with Miu Watanabe demonstrating her giant swing on one of the idols.

Match 1: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi beat Haru Kazashiro & Chika Nanase. Watanabe pinned Nanase after Teardrop.

A live performance by Congracce! was held.

Afterwards…

Huper Misao beat DDT Iton Man Heavymetalweight Champion Shoko Nakajima to win the title. Misao becomes the 1851st Champion. So there were 2 title changes between sessions.

A few minutes later…

Ai Asakura beat DDT Iton Man Heavymetalweight Champion Hyper Misao to win the title. Asakura becomes the 1852nd Champion.

And then…

Mifu Ashida beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Ai Asakura to win the title. Ashida becomes the 1853rd Champion.

Right after that…

Shiori Futaba beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Mifu Ashida to win the title. Futaba becomes the 1854th Champion.

A couple minutes later…

Shoko Nakajima beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Shiori Futaba to win the title. Nakajima becomes the 1855th Champion.

Later on afterwards…

Pocotan beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Shoko Nakajima to win the title. Pocotan becomes the 1856th Champion.

At some point after that…

Pocotan’s Head beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Pocotan to win the title. Pocotan’s Head becomes the 1857th Champion.

And finally…

Monene Kitazawa beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Pocotan’s Head to win the title. Kitazawa becomes the 1858th Champion.

The festival and matches continue tomorrow. There will be no live or on demand broadcast.

UPDATE: BREAKING development from early on Day 2!

UPDATE 2: However, because someone carelessly fell asleep later…

UPDATE 3: It was announced on 8/3 (Japan Time) that all matches from this weekend will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE at a later date.

Tokyo Joshi Pro is at the TIF Idol Festival LOVE&PEACE this weekend, but it’s not like that in a certain area. There is breaking news to report…

Shoko Nakajima beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Raku to win the title. Nakajima becomes the 1845th Champion.

Then while cutting a promo backstage there was an interruption by a giant mascot with a referee…which led to…

Pocotan beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Shoko Nakajima to win the title. Pocotan becomes the 1846th Champion.

Video at the link below:

Pro Wrestling, Everybody!!!

UPDATE: But wait, there’s more!!!

Pocotan’s Head beat DDI Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Pocotan to win the title. Pocotan’s Head becomes the 1847th Champion.

Which led to…

Monene Kitazawa beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Pocotan’s Head to win the title. Kitazawa becomes the 1848th Champion.

Actually the reigns are inaccurate because there were many title changes. At last check it was either with Mifu Ashida or back with Nakajima. More to come…

Tokyo Joshi Pro continued the Tokyo Princess Cup today with the second half of Round 2.

Today’s event was held at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.

The announced paid attendance was 361, a full house/near sellout.

Before the matches began, it was announced that on 8/23 at Korakuen Hall, Yuki Kamifuku’a next retirement road match will see her re-form Ober Eats, the popular duo with Wakana Uehara, for a match against Mifu Ashida & Sumire Natsu. Kamifuku & Uehara haven’t teamed up since losing the Princess Tag Team Championship at GRAND PRINCESS ‘26. Then, the Up Up Girls performance featured the return of Shino Suzuki, who had been out since May due to medical issues but is fully recovered

Match 1: Yuki Kamifuku, Sakura Hattori & Momo Sato beat Chika Nanase, Ren Konatsu & Shion Kanzaki. Hattori pinned Kanzaki.

Match 2: Miyu Yamashita & Haru Kazashiro beat Mizuki & Shino Suzuki. Kazashiro beat Suzuki with 16th Night (armbar variation).

Match 3: Rika Tatsumi, Arisu Endo, Wakana Uehara & Uta Takami beat Hyper Misao, Raku, Uta Takami & Mifu Ashida. Tatsumi pinned Ashida after Missile Hip. Afterwards, Tatsumi tried to win the DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship from Raku but failed.

Tokyo Princess Cup Round 2:
Match 4: Toga beat Mahiro Kiryu.
Match 5: Suzume beat Pom Harajuku
Match 6: Yuki Aino beat Mii Watanabe by submission.
Main Event: Shoko Nakajima beat Yuki Arai. (somehow this didn’t show up in the original post)
As a result, the second half of the Quarterfinals will be Toga vs. Aino and Suzume vs. Nakajima. And the main event result means Arai will defend the Princess Of Princess Championship against the tournament winner at WRESTLE PRINCESS 7.
The Quarterfinals are 8/8 at Ryogoku KFC Hall.

The next event is TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL 2026 Friday-Sunday in Tokyo with TJPW matches planned each day. There will be no live or on demand broadcasts.

The next actual event is 8/8. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin on 8/7 at 8:30 PM PT/11:30 PM ET

Tokyo Joshi Pro continued the Tokyo Princess Cup today with the first half of Round 2.

Today’s event was held at Osaka Azalea Taisho in Osaka and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.

The announced paid attendance was 294, a full house/near sellout.

Match 1: Yuki Kamifuku, Mifu Ashida & Shion Kanzaki beat Haru Kazashiro, Uta Takami & Momo Sato. Kamifuku beat Sato.

Match 2: Raku beat Sakura Hattori & Ren Konatsu in a 3-way by pinning Konatsu.

Match 3: Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino, Pom Harajuku & Toga beat Yuki Arai, Miu Watanabe, Suzume & Mahiro Kiryu. Nakajima pinned Suzume with a Northern Lights suplex hold. That surprised me. No, I don’t expect Nakajima to challenge Suzume for the International Princess Championship anytime soon, but that Suzume got beaten here and not Kiryu qualifies as a bit of an upset.

Tokyo Princess Cup Round 2:
Match 4: Arisu Endo beat Chika Nanase by submission.
Match 5: HIMAWARI beat Wakana Uehara.
Match 6: Hyper Misao beat Mizuki. HAPPY HAPPY!!!!
Main Event: Rika Tatsumi beat Miyu Yamashita by submission. Supposedly this was their first single match in over 5 years!?! That means my second choice to win is out and thus no trilogy/rubber match with Yuki Arai at WRESTLE PRINCESS 7. Unless Arai wins and decides one more time…based on backstage comments, Yamashita may soon be heading back to England for a Pro Wrestling EVE event and title defense in August.

As a result, the first half of the Quarterfinals will be Endo vs. HIMAWARI & Misao vs. Tatsumi. The Quarterfinals are on 8/8.

The next event is Thursday at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo with the second half of the Quarterfinals. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 3 AM PT/6 AM ET.

Some very good news for Tokyo Joshi Pro fans-according to official Up Up Girls social media updates today, Shino Suzuki will be returning from hiatus next week. She has been out a few months for unspecified medical issues but thankfully has fully recovered. She is scheduled to resume activities starting on 7/30 although Suzuki then posted with a claim it will be mid-August. However, the latter seems to be an inaccurate translation as TJPW has confirmed her return match will be 7/30 at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo, teaming with Mizuki to face Miyu Yamashita & Haru Kazashiro. Regardless, the important thing is she’s healthy and coming back.

SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ‘26, Tokyo Joshi Pro’s annual July blowout event, finally happens today. The hype is over and it’s time for Princess Of Princess Champion Yuki Arai to make her toughest title defense yet against the Final Boss of TJPW-Miyu Yamashita, who hasn’t held the title on over 2 years and looks to become the first 5-time champion. Arai has beaten Yamashita by submission before in a tag match so there is hope, but part of me fears her first title reign ends today…elsewhere there of course are 2 other title matches. International Princess Champion Suzume defends against Wakana Uehara, with the Super Big Eater looking to turn all those YouTube calorie hunts into her first singles championship. And the Princess Tag Team Championship is on the line as Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi defend against Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao in a match that promises a lot of hijinks. Elsewhere, the Yuki Kamifuku retirement road kicks off as The Casual Beauty has a really fun match, and quite the appropriate partner in the TJPW debut of O-MENZ Kumadori, who joins Kamifuku & Sakura Hattori to face Sanshiro Takagi, Yumehito Imanari & Mahiro Kiryu. The opening match will see the debut of Momo Sato, as the idol-turned-wrestler follows her big brother, DDT’s Daichi Sato, into the ring.

There has been a last-minute change to the card due to Willow Nightingale (All Elite Wrestling) being pulled off the event. Travel issues-her flight to Japan was cancelled and while alternate arrangements have been made it sounds like she won’t make it in time. She was to have faced Mizuki. Chris Brookes (DDT) is the replacement.

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese & English. Rio Omori of idol group Ma’Scar’Piece will be the guest on Japanese commentary. It was previously announced that the event’s expected running time will be 3 hours so no speculation needed.

Today’s lineup:
Momo Sato Debut Match: Momo Sato & Shion Kanzaki vs. Uta Takami & Ren Konatsu
Sakura Hirota, HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida vs. Raku, Pom Harajuku & Chika Nanase
Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro vs. MIRAI & Toga
Aja Kong vs. Arisu Endo
Yuki Kamifuku, O-MENZ Kumadori & Sakura Hattori vs. Sanshiro Takagi, Yumehito Imanari & Mahiro Kiryu
Mizuki vs. Chris Brookes
International Princess Champion Suzume vs. Wakana Uehara for the title
Princess Tag Team Champions Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi vs. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao for the titles
Princess Of Princess Champion Yuki Arai vs. Miyu Yamashita for the title

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. Advance sales were much stronger than usual for Korakuen but it’s till the reduced capacity setup which means probably 1100-1150 tops. Based on sales so far I’m thinking they’ll get to at least 1000. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 1204, a full house/near sellout)

The opening announcements begin almost right away. The matches should begin in about 15 minutes. During announcements the promotion’s final Shinjuku Face event is announced for 9/27.

Match 3: Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro vs. MIRAI (Michinoku Pro) & Toga. 20 minute time limit
Result: Yuki AIno & Haru Kazashiro beat MIRAI & Toga. Kazashiro pinned Toga. (Something has me thinking Aino & Kazashiro will be making a Princess Tag Team Championship challenge after today’s match…UPDATE: Nope. No title matches were announced post-event)

Hiroyo Matsumoto participation is announced for the next Korakuen event on 8/23.

Haruo Murata returns as host now.

Main Event: Princess Of Princess Champion Yuki Arai vs. Miyu Yamashita for the title. 30 minute time limit
Result: Princess Of Princess Champion Yuki Arai beat Miyu Yamashita to retain the title. V4 for Arai. Final Boss Vanquished! It was a hoss fight but somehow Arai prevailed and the reign continues and I go home happy for a little longer. Next up: Likely the Tokyo Princess Cup winner unless, best-case scenario, Arai wins it. But that could very well mean a rematch if Yamashita wins. That match will probably happen at WRESTLE PRINCESS 7 but we’ll find out as it gets closer.

The next event is the Tokyo Princess Cup starting Monday at Act City Hamamatsu in Shizuoka. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin Sunday at 10 PM PT/1 AM ET. All tournament events will air live and be available on demand immediately afterwards.

Nothing announced post-event.

Just announced on social media-Tokyo Joshi Pro is returning to the US later this year They will again be visiting Texas with events in Houston & Dallas between December 4-6. 12/4 & 12/5 will be at Pasadena Roder Arena in Pasadena, 12/6 at The OC in Forney.

More as it becomes available.

A bit of Tokyo Joshi Pro News:

When the full SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ‘26 card for 7/18 was announced the other day, they left one gap unfilled-an opponent for Mizuki. She was listed only as facing “Sweet Secret” which was TBA. Now we know that TBA and I like it a lot-the TJPW return of Willow Nightingale, currently in All Elite Wrestling. Okay, mostly because I am both a big fan of the Babe With The Power and because it raises hopes she will squash Mizuki, much to my delight. Anyway, moving on…

Also announced today was the full initial bracket for the Tokyo Princess Cup, determined by random draw. With 24 participants that means 8 Round 1 matches and 8 get free passes to Round 2. Here’s how those first 2 rounds look, with all Round 1 matches on 7/20:
1-Uta Takami vs. Miyu Yamashita. Winner faces Rika Tatsumi
2-Raku vs. Mizuki. Winner faces Hyper Misao
3-Arisu Endo vs. Sakura Hattori. Winner faces Chika Nanase
4-Wakana Uehara vs. Mifu Ashida. Winner faces HIMAWARI
That’s the left half. Here is the right half:
5-Toga vs. Momo Sato. Winner faces Mahiro Kiryu
6-Miu Watanabe vs. Ren Konatsu. Winner faces Yuki Aino
7-Suzume vs. Shion Kanzaki. Winner faces Pom Harajuku
8-Haru Kazashiro vs. Yuki Arai. Winner faces Shoko Nakajima
Round 2 will be 7/25 for the left half, 7/30 for the right half. The Quarterfinals will be on 8/8. Then they re-draw for the Semifinals on 8/16. The Finals are on 8/23. All matches until after the Quarterfinals will be 30 minute time limit. Semifinals & Finals are no time linit. The winner will presumably face the Princess Of Princess Champion for the title at WRESTLE PRINCESS 7 later this year, we should know after 7/18 if that’s Yuki Arai or Miyu Yamashita. Of course if one of then wins as champion who knows what happens. As a reminder, Kira Summer & Yuki Kamifuku are not participating this year-Summer is returning home to Australia for her first wrestling tour there, Kamifuku elected not to enter after announcing her upcoming retirement. The other nonparticipants are long-term inactive (Runa Okubo [focusing on education] & Shino Suzuki [medical]).
