Tokyo Joshi Pro continues their spring house show tour today with the last event before their monthly major event next Sunday. With the Big 3 (Miyu Yamashita, Yuka Sakazaki, Maki Itoh) all still overseas until next week and several others still out with injuries, the rest of the roster gets more of the spotlight once again although the missing wrestlers will subdue the potential next week build. Tag matches will be an emphasis today with a pair of 6-women tag matches and one tag match alongside 3 single matches.

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. This should be another standard weekend matinee house show with a total running time of just under 2 hours.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta & Wakana Uehara vs. Mahiro Kiryu, Haru Kazashiro & Runa Okubo
Yuki Kamifuku vs. Toga
Moka Miyamoto vs. Shino Suzuki
Hyper Misao vs. HIMAWARI
Mizuki & Suzume vs. Shoko Nakajima & Kaya Toribami
Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Arisu Endo vs. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku

Updates below will begin at 11:30 PM ET/8:30 PM PT. The stream is scheduled to launch at 11 PM ET/8 PM PT.

8:26 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. Looks on the small side for the venue, the ringside seats around the venue aren’t close to full and the “super seats” didn’t sell out in advance. Some fans may still be filing in but I’m going to estimate 175-200, which for these weekend events at the venue is on the low side.

The matches should begin in 15-20 minutes. During opening announcements, the first Up Up Girls solo event in over 4 years was announced. It will be next Saturday (6/10) at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and will feature 3 matches. No live broadcast.

The matches begin at 8:43 PM PT. Looks like hard camera only today.

Match 1: Moka Miyamoto vs. Shino Suzuki. 15 minute time limit

Match 2: Yuki Kamifuku vs. Toga. 15 minute time limit

Match 3: Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta & Wakana Uehara vs. Mahiro Kiryu, Haru Kazashiro & Runa Okubo. 20 minute time limit

Match 5: Mizuki & Suzume vs. Shoko Nakajima & Kaya Toribami. 20 minute time limit

Main Event: Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Arisu Endo vs. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku. 20 minute time limit
Result: Time Limit Draw

After the main event, Endo issued a challenge to Tatsumi for the International Princess Championship. But so did Aino. So it will be Aino-Endo for the next title shot on 6/11 with the winner getting to face Tatsumi, probably on 7/8 at SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’23.

The next event, not counting the Up Up Girls one announced today, is “STICK OUT ’23” on 6/11 at Korakuen Hall. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese and English will begin on 6/10 at 10 PM ET/7 PM PT.

UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 194.

Tokyo Joshi Pro continued their spring house show tour today with a return visit to Yuki Kamifuku’s hometown of Fujisawa City. As was the case before, a portion of today’s event proceeds were donated to the city for a scholarship fund for students.

Today’s event was held at Fujisawa City Shonandai Cultural Center in Kanagawa and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE at a later date (likely Tuesday). There was no live broadcast. The event will also be aired in Japan on TV Kanagawa in June with commentary from Haruo Murata & Yuki Kamifuku.

The announced paid attendance was 361.

Match 1: Hikari Noa beat Haru Kazashiro.

Match 2: Yuki Aino & Pom Harajuku beat Toga & Runa Okubo. Aino pinned Toga after Venus DDT.

Match 3: Mizuki & Raku beat Hyper Misao & Shino Suzuki. Mizuki beat Suzuki with a facelock.

Match 4: Asuka (Veny) & Nao Kakuta beat Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami. Asuka beat Toribami after a moonsault press. For those unfamiliar with her, this Asuka competes as Veny outside Japan to avoid confusion with the Asuka (formerly Kana in Japan) currently in WWE.

Match 5: Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & HIMAWARI beat Suzume, Arisu Endo & Wakama Uehara. Watanabe pinned Uehara after Teardrop.

Main Event: Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Kamifuku beat Aja Kong & Mahiro Kiryu. Kamifuku pinned Kiryu after a diving Fameasser. Afterwards, Kong challenged Kamifuku to a match in her hometown. Will it happen? Who knows…

The next event is 6/4 at Ryogoku KFC Hall in Tokyo. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin on 6/3 at 8 PM PT/11 PM ET.

Tokyo Joshi Pro ran a Hyper Misao Produced mini-event today, the first time the promotion’s resident “hero” had her turn running things, and it was mostly comedy of course.

Today’s event was held at Kitazawa Town Hall in Tokyo and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE at a later date (probably Sunday or Monday). There was no live broadcast.

The announced paid attendance was 202, a full house/near sellout.

Match 1: A Hyper Misao 2 Audition Battle Royal technically had no winner. The match itself was won by Suzume, last eliminating Miu Watanabe, but Suzume declined to win.

Match 2: Yoshihiko (DDT) beat Shoko Nakajima. This is the match I’m waiting to see.

Main Event: Rika Tatsumi & Arisu Endo beat Yuki Aino & Mahiro Kiryu. Tatsumi beat Kiryu with a dragon sleeper. It was announced a couple days ago that Tatsumi would return for this event after missing about a week with the always-vague poor physical condition.

The next event is Saturday at Fujisawa City Shonandai Cultural Center in Kanagawa, back in Yuki Kamifuku’s hometown to continue the spring house show tour. Aja Kong participation is set for this event. There will be no live broadcast.

Tokyo Joshi Pro continued their spring house show tour today with an event in Tokyo, which again underwent late changes due to wrestler absences (between injuries and overseas excursions they are down roughly 1/3 of their roster).

Today’s event was held at Otemachi Mitsui Hall in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.

The announced paid attendance was 272.

During opening announcements, Miyu Yamashita vs. Sawyer Wreck was added to SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’23 on 7/8. Despite being injured, Yuki Arai also appeared to greet fans.

Match 1: Mahiro Kiryu beat Toga.

Match 2: Hyper Misao beat Shino Suzuki by submission.

Match 3: Shoko Nakajima, Suzume & Haru Kazashiro beat Ryo Mizunami, Yoshiko Hasegawa (Ganbare Pro) & Kaya Toribami. Nakajima pinned Toribami with a Northern Lights suplex hold. Mizunami was a late replacement for Rika Tatsumi, who remains out due to the vague “poor physical condition”.

Match 4: Yuki Kamifuku beat HIMAWARI.

Match 5: Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku beat Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta & Wakana Uehara. Raku pinned Uehara after Doctor Yellow.

Main Event: Mizuki & Moka Miyamoto beat Miu Watanabe & Arisu Endo. Mizuki pinned Endo after a diving foot stomp.

The next event is a Hyper Misao Produced event Thursday at Kitazawa Town Hall in Tokyo. There will be no live broadcast.

Tokyo Joshi Pro announced on Twitter that Miyu Yamashita’s current overseas excursion will end on 6/24, and she will return to the promotion that day. Yuka Sakazaki, currently overseas as well, and Maki Itoh, who is also heading overseas for a month, will both return on that date as well and all will participate in a 6/25 event in Fukuoka.

In unfortunate news, SKE48 announced in a press release that Yuki Arai will miss some upcoming performances and that includes TJPW’s Saturday event in Tokyo. Hospitalized for a leg injury. Based on SKE48’s release, out at least 2 weeks. That means she would miss the 5/26 Yokohama Radiant Hall event if scheduled and maybe 6/3 at Ryogoku KFC Hall, and would be questionable for 6/10 at Korakuen Hall due to still being scheduled for an SKE48 event.

More as it becomes available.

Tokyo Joshi Pro continued the spring 2023 house show tour today with a visit to Shizuoka.

Today’s event was held at Act City Hamamatsu Event Hall in Shizuoka and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE at a later date (likely Tuesday). There was no live broadcast.

The announced paid attendance was 316.

There were last-minute changes to the event because Rika Tatsumi was absent due to the always-vague poor physical condition. She was to have faced Wakana Uehara. A planned 3-way became a tag match with Uehara added. Also absent as previously announced were Neko Haruna (injury) and Yuka Sakazaki (international excursion).

Match 1: Moka Miyamoto beat Haru Kazashiro by submission. When the replay is uploaded to WRESTLE UNIVERSE we’ll get to hear Kazashiro’s new entrance theme.

Match 2: Nao Kakuta & Toga beat Hyper Misao & Shino Suzuki. Kakuta pinned Suzuki after Shiden Kai.

Match 3: Miu Watanabe beat HIMAWARI by submission.

Match 4: HIkari Noa & Wakana Uehara beat Arisu Endo & Kaya Toribami. Noa pinned Toribami with a blizzard suplex hold.

Match 5: Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku beat Shoko Nakajima, Suzume & Mahiro Kiryu. Aino pinned Kiryu after Venus DDT.

Main Event: Mizuki & Yuki Arai beat Maki Itoh & Yuki Kamifuku. Mizuki pinned Kamifuku after a diving foot stomp.

The next event is 5/20 at Otemachi Mitsui Hall in Tokyo. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin Friday at 9:30 PM PT/12:30 AM ET.

Tokyo Joshi Pro has just announced a last-minute change for today’s (Japan time) event: Rika Tatsumi is now off. The always-vague poor physical condition. She was to have faced Wakana Uehara. What was Arisu Endo vs. Hikari Noa & Kaya Toribami in a 3-way has now been changed to Noa & Uehara vs. Endo & Toribami as a result. No word on if Tatsumi may miss additional time although there is a week before the next event after today.

Tokyo Joshi Pro announced the full card for the 5/13 house show today (there will be no live broadcast on WRESTLE UNIVERSE) and several upcoming absences were mentioned:
Yuka Sakazaki is headed on another international excursion, which always beings a possibility of a return to All Elite Wrestling. It’s not known for how long yet.
Neko Haruna is off this next event. Knee injury. Out indefinitely.
Runa Okubo will miss this event for what the promotion is calling academic reasons. No word on how long this absence may be for.
For what it’s worth with Sakazaki, the next Korakuen Hall event is not until 6/10 so I would expect her back in no more than 3 weeks as that may be the next Princess Tag Team Championship match as there won’t be one at Summer Sun Princess in July because of Mizuki vs. Maki Itoh for the Princess Of Princess Championship.
on a side note, 6/10 right now is the earliest Miyu Yamashita may return from her international tour. Still no definite timeframe yet but I expect they want her back by July for Summer Sun Princess.
