September 8, 2026

President Satomura’s Greeting

Prior to the matches, President Meiko Satomura stepped into the ring to address the sold-out crowd.

Meiko Satomura: “Hello, everyone! Thank you all so much for coming to the Azalea Taisho show today! Our last Azalea show was on May 31, so it’s been a little over three months. During these three months, we held a massive show for 4,000 fans in Sendai, ran Korakuen Hall, and just finished our Yoyogi National Stadium 2nd Gymnasium show in Tokyo on August 28. Sendai Girls’ Pro Wrestling has returned, one size bigger! I know many of you have been watching our ‘Senjo Tamashii’ YouTube channel, and as a promotion, we want to continue guiding each other with love, inspiring one another, and elevating ourselves together. We are still a small but elite group, however, I want to challenge myself to see just how far Sendai Girls’ Pro Wrestling can go. To see so many fans here in the Kansai region… I want even more people to watch us, and I want to wrestle in front of thousands of fans here in Kansai, too. For now, please watch this slightly grown-up Sendai Girls’ Pro Wrestling today, as we aim to advance into larger venues step-by-step. From the first match to the main event, all of our wrestlers will fight with everything they have, so please enjoy the show until the very end. Thank you!”

Match 1: 10-Minute Time Limit

○ Yura Suzuki (6:12, Pinfall) Reina Takano ●
Winning maneuver: Running Knee

Highly anticipated rookie Reina Takano appeared in the opening match. She demonstrated her fighting spirit by pushing back in the opening lock-up, but Yura Suzuki overpowered her and took the fight to the mat. Suzuki secured a sleeper hold on Takano’s trapped arm, but Takano managed to escape. Despite struggling, Takano forcefully pushed Suzuki into the ropes and unleashed a flurry of dropkicks. Suzuki absorbed the blows and retaliated with kicks. Following a corner attack, Suzuki cornered Takano with a strike-heavy offense. She went for an armbar, but Takano desperately stretched her leg out for a rope break. Takano then reversed Suzuki’s brainbuster attempt, following up with a dropkick, a corner dropkick, and a textbook dropkick in rapid succession. She then set up for a body slam, but Suzuki blocked it. Takano ate an elbow but showed her grit with a front kick; Suzuki answered with a kick of her own. Takano relentlessly attacked with a front kick, elbow, and a dropkick after ducking her opponent’s high kick. However, the subsequent pin attempt only yielded a two-count. A neckbreaker into a cover also resulted in a near fall. As Takano charged in, Suzuki caught her and planted her with a body slam. Even after being slammed to the mat, Takano refused to stop. She went for a roll-up, but ultimately succumbed to a three-count from Suzuki’s running knee attack.

Match 2: 15-Minute Time Limit

○ YUNA (8:52, Pinfall) Soy ●
Winning maneuver: Ipponzeoi (Judo Shoulder Throw) Reversal

The second match began with a lock-up. Soy backed YUNA into the ropes. YUNA dodged an elbow, delivered a dropkick from behind, and locked in a headlock. Soy reversed the headlock and transitioned to the ground. YUNA fought back, but Soy responded with chops and a body slam. After hitting a falling body press, Soy transitioned into a Boston Crab, forcing YUNA to the brink of submission. Soy maintained the offensive momentum, popping the crowd with a body press on the apron, and refused to relinquish control once back inside the ring.

Fighting from underneath, YUNA fired back with elbows, which Soy met with chops. YUNA countered Soy’s corner attack and climbed the turnbuckle to press the advantage, but Soy cut her off. YUNA showed her determination, going for a gritty reversal to score a three-count. Soy stopped her with a spinebuster and locked in a single-leg Boston Crab. Despite the pain, YUNA utilized unorthodox rope work to hit a Sling Blade and hit the ropes again. Soy countered with a harai goshi (sweeping hip throw), but YUNA countered the throw entirely to score a comeback three-count, claiming victory in the second match.

Match 3: 15-Minute Time Limit

Mika Iwata & ○ Miyuki Takase (13:17, Pinfall) Chi Chi & Miku Kanae ●
Winning maneuver: Spinning Brainbuster (Twister)

Chi Chi provoked Mika Iwata—whose signature look revolves around dark aesthetics—by asking, “Iwata, aren’t you a little too pale?”

“Right, Miku?” she asked, to which Miku Kanae agreed, “I think she’s pale!”

This enraged Mika Iwata, but Miyuki Takase held her back and volunteered to start the match. Chi Chi locked in a headlock, and Takase fought out. Both women grabbed each other by the hair, clashing with pure competitiveness, but Takase took control with a hair-whip and stomped on Chi Chi’s face, shouting, “No matter how you look at it, Iwata is dark!” However, Chi Chi fought back with a big boot and tagged in Kanae. Kanae delivered a high-elevation dropkick, but Takase responded with a body slam and tagged Iwata. Iwata immediately launched a brutal kick, getting a two-count. Utilizing quick tags, the Red Corner team backed Kanae into a corner. Kanae desperately fought back with a flurry of elbows, dodged Iwata’s charge, and caught her in a roll-up. She followed up with a dropkick and successfully tagged Chi Chi. Iwata threw low kicks while Chi Chi fired back with big boots in a fierce exchange. Chi Chi then tossed around both Iwata and the intervening Takase with her “Red Energy,” hitting a missile dropkick, a Y-shaped leg drop, and a stiff slap. She dodged Iwata’s high kick and landed a sweep kick that popped the crowd. Not to be outdone, Iwata retaliated and tagged Takase.

Takase hit a corner attack and followed with a barrage of elbows, but Chi Chi grabbed her hair to fight back. Takase hammered her with a lariat, and Chi Chi answered with a big boot. A Northern Lights Suplex from Chi Chi earned a two-count, after which she tagged Kanae. Kanae hit a headscissors takedown into a dropkick, followed by a missile dropkick, and then locked in a modified armbar to push for a submission, but it was a rope break. Takase fought back with a springboard missile dropkick. Kanae dodged the ensuing corner lariat, and Chi Chi assisted with a big boot. Kanae hit her Funnel and took Takase’s back. Takase stood her ground, so Kanae hit the ropes, only to be caught with a powerslam. Takase hit a short-range lariat, but Chi Chi jumped in with a suplex, allowing Kanae to hit a German Suplex. Iwata broke up the pin, but Kanae followed up with a springboard plancha. Chi Chi hit a rolling sobat on Iwata and looked to follow up, but Iwata and Takase turned the tables. Ultimately, Takase planted Kanae with a Twister for the three-count. The team of Mika Iwata and Miyuki Takase emerged victorious.

Match 4: 20-Minute Time Limit

○ Ryo Mizunami (11:31, Pinfall) Yurika Oka ●
Winning maneuver: Hot Limit

Osaka native Yurika Oka appeared in the semi-main event. Her opponent was Ryo Mizunami. Their last singles match took place two and a half years ago at the January 8, 2024, Osaka show, where Mizunami won via spear.

At the sound of the bell, Oka launched a barrage of dropkicks. Mizunami absorbed them, but Oka clamped on a headlock. Mizunami tried to shake her off, but Oka wrenched it in tighter. Mizunami finally broke free and hit a shoulder tackle. Amidst chants of “Aniki,” Oka attacked using a banana. She landed a dropkick, but slipped on the banana and fell while trying to follow up. Mizunami then unleashed a flurry of chops on Oka in the corner. Mizunami chopped until she was dizzy, but spurred on by the “Aniki” chants, she launched into another barrage, delivering a staggering 438 chops. Mizunami followed with a body slam, but Oka fought back. Oka hit a springboard plancha, kicked Mizunami out of the ring with consecutive dropkicks, and then hit a running plancha off the apron. Screaming “Let’s go!”, Oka returned to the ring and hit another plancha to wear Mizunami down.

However, Mizunami fired back with a powerslam, a lariat, and an STO for a two-count. She then locked in an arm triangle. Oka barely managed to escape, only to eat an elbow from Mizunami, who yelled, “Come on, Oka!” Oka unleashed rapid-fire elbows. Mizunami threw chops, but Oka overwhelmed her with slaps, a dropkick, and a spinning backflip. Oka climbed the corner and hit a twisting body press for a near fall. Yelling “Get up!”, Oka utilized a nekodamashi (clap distraction) into a roll-up, then locked in La Mística to force a tap-out. However, Mizunami crushed her to block the next transition. Mizunami hit a headbutt and went for a Falcon Arrow, but this time Oka reversed it. Burning with a desperate desire to win, Oka landed an elbow, but Mizunami replied with a lariat. Mizunami followed with a spear for a two-count, then hoisted Oka up in a fireman’s carry to hit the Hot Limit. Mizunami won the hard-fought battle using her signature maneuver.

◆ Backstage Comments – Ryo Mizunami: (On her singles match with Yurika Oka) “In the past, because her career was short—which couldn’t be helped—she was young, energetic, but completely unrefined. Today, she’s still young and energetic, and while there’s still some roughness, it has become Yurika Oka’s pro wrestling. I don’t think she’s in her perfect form yet, but she was definitely a different Oka. Using a banana and expanding her repertoire… I think that’s great, and fighting her today, I really felt that. She just needs to keep believing in her style of wrestling and keep moving forward. That’s truly what’s best.”

(Does she need to hesitate or change course?)

“If she ever does something completely wrong, someone will tell her! (laughs) But above all, I could really feel that she’s wrestling with belief in herself. I think that is the most important thing. Just being able to feel that from her was wonderful.”

(You had a singles match two years ago in Osaka, right?) “We did. It was around her Coming of Age ceremony, wasn’t it? It’s completely different now. Back then, it was just about moving as much as she could. It was an era where it ended with ‘You did your best.’ But today wasn’t that. She threw everything at me saying, ‘This is Yurika Oka’s pro wrestling!’ That was fantastic, and through this singles match, I was able to feel that witnessing someone else’s growth fuels my own growth, too. I still have room to grow myself! (laughs)“

(Would you like to fight her again when the timing is right?)

“Yeah. I feel like we end up having singles matches at unexpected turning points. Whenever that time comes again, I’m already looking forward to seeing how she’ll fight.”

(No comments from Yurika Oka)

Match 5: 30-Minute Time Limit

○ Spike Nishimura & Hiroyo Matsumoto (14:15, Pinfall) Chihiro Hashimoto & Manami ●
Winning maneuver: Angel’s Wings

Ahead of the Sendai Girls World Championship match at Sendai Sunplaza on October 10, Champion Chihiro Hashimoto and Challenger Spike Nishimura clashed in a tag team prelude. Hashimoto teamed with Manami, while Spike Nishimura partnered with Hiroyo Matsumoto for the main event.

Both powerhouses volunteered to start the match. Moving from a knuckle lock, Hashimoto took Spike’s back. Spike fought right back, wrenching in a headlock. In an unyielding exchange, both women tagged out to their partners. Manami immediately charged in, but Matsumoto brushed her off. Undeterred, Manami hit a cross chop and a dropkick, letting out a roar of “Fooo!” Manami went for a hair-whip, but Matsumoto grabbed her by the hair and swung her across the ring, fully displaying her “Destroyer” nature. Spike Nishimura tagged in, delivering an elbow and locking in a crossface. In agony, Manami managed to hit a dropkick and seemingly tagged Hashimoto… but Spike charged Hashimoto to prevent it. Matsumoto joined in, and the two ran rampant. Fighting through the pain, Manami fired back with a gritty elbow, hit a leaping Codebreaker, and made the tag to Hashimoto.

Given her opening, the “Monster” hit Matsumoto with a corner lariat, which Matsumoto immediately returned. Amidst a tremendous collision of flesh, Hashimoto floored Matsumoto with a dynamic lariat. She climbed the turnbuckle, but Matsumoto caught her and executed an avalanche brainbuster before tagging Spike Nishimura.

In their second in-ring encounter of the match, Spike Nishimura blasted Hashimoto with a series of short-range lariats. The strikes were so fierce that Hashimoto nearly collapsed, allowing Spike and Matsumoto to hit a double brainbuster. Spike followed up for a two-count. Hashimoto blocked a double-arm setup, so Spike hit a knuckle part to press the attack. However, Hashimoto reversed it into a lariat. Spike took it head-on, and Manami, now tagged in, hit a missile dropkick. Spike tried to counterattack, but Manami caught her in an Octopus Hold (Manji-gatame), trying to force a submission as the 10-minute mark passed.

A read-and-react battle unfolded across the ropes, which Manami won. Hashimoto joined in to corner Spike, but Matsumoto broke up the pin. With Hashimoto’s combination attack nearly backfiring, Matsumoto provided an assist, allowing Spike to hit a missile dropkick. Spike reversed a Rainmaker attempt, and Manami rolled her up for a two-count. Manami then hit a running knee for another near fall. In retaliation, Spike hit a two-step kick, caught Manami, and hit a Liger Bomb for a two-count. Letting out a roar, Spike Nishimura executed a Falcon Arrow. Taking the full brunt of the move, Manami was left in dire straits, struggling to stand. Desperately using the ropes to pull herself up, she frantically threw a jumping knee. But Spike absorbed it, hit a counter lariat, followed by a front kick for a two-count, and finally planted her with the Angel’s Wings for the three-count. Spike Nishimura crushed Manami right in front of the champion’s eyes.

Post-Match Details Standing victorious, Spike Nishimura stood face-to-face with the champion and motioned that she was taking the belt. Hashimoto responded by hoisting the title high. Spike then left the ring.

Chihiro Hashimoto: “Everyone, did you know? You probably thought the winner gets the right to close the show, right? Not at all! It’s probably because Spike Nishimura can’t speak the Kansai dialect yet. She can’t speak in front of everyone. Spike is smart and has a lot of pride. So let’s wait until she can speak.

As you know, I successfully defended this belt for the eighth time at Yoyogi! And next, on October 10, my ninth defense will take place in Sendai. Sendai and Osaka… it’s an indescribable distance, but actually, I flew here today and it took about an hour and 40 minutes. If you book early, there’s a really great system called an ‘Early Bird Discount.’ So everyone, please come to Sendai on October 10 to watch me defend this belt.

It’s been about three or four months since we were last in Osaka, how was it, everyone!? We sold out very early, and I am truly grateful to all of you. Next up, on November 1, Sendai Girls’ Pro Wrestling will debut at 176BOX. Rumor has it, it holds a few more people and the transportation is a bit more convenient. (Reacting to Ring Announcer Punch Tahara) Eh? There are only 8 tickets left for November 1? It’s first-come, first-served! Also, on December 19, right here at Azalea Taisho Hall… (Reacting to Tahara again) Eh? Sold out? I swear there were tickets left when I got here this morning. Truly, to all the fans here, and even those who aren’t, thank you so much for buying tickets. Sendai Girls’ Pro Wrestling is growing at the speed of light, and there are many times when even I can’t keep up with it. We often cause inconveniences for the fans, but despite that, we will continue chasing our dreams with fiery passion in this ring. And since we’re dreaming big, I absolutely want us to go to Osaka Castle Hall, just like Manami has been saying. I’m going to raise us to a level where we can challenge venues like that, the ones Manami has always talked about. Everyone, please continue to support Sendai Girls’ Pro Wrestling!

Today, I want to close things out with Chihiro Hashimoto’s ‘Gyun’, but you might not know this… did you know ‘Gyun’ has been updated!? When I say 3, 2, 1, just ‘Gyun’ in every direction! Thank you so much for coming out this Sunday afternoon. Let’s meet in Osaka again in November and December!”

The sold-out Osaka show concluded with Hashimoto’s “Gyun! x4”.

◆ Backstage Comments – Chihiro Hashimoto: (On the sold-out Osaka show) “We are just building more and more momentum. It’s not just the numbers (attendance); I can physically feel the heat when wrestling in the venue. In the past with Sendai Girls’ Pro Wrestling, there was a feeling that Osaka crowds would just go quiet. That’s completely gone now. I can feel the fans supporting us with the exact same passion no matter where we are. I might have let my mouth run a little bit out there, though.”

(You declared a massive ambition to run Osaka Castle Hall)

“If we don’t keep challenging bigger venues, I don’t think we can grow any further. In Osaka, I want us to aim for Osaka Castle Hall and keep moving forward.”

(Did you feel it’s not just a pipe dream?) “Right. If I couldn’t see the goal, I’m not the type to say it out loud. I don’t know what the company will say about it, but I believe we have to take the initiative and speak these things into existence. That is who Chihiro Hashimoto is, and that is what the champion of Sendai Girls’ Pro Wrestling does. I want to prove our momentum and strength.”

(This was also a prelude match against Spike Nishimura) “Spike Nishimura… regardless of her career length, I can literally feel her raw strength. She’s strong, she’s really strong. She’s strong, you never know what she’s going to do, and she’s constantly challenging herself with new things one after another. She uses moves I don’t even know. It’s truly frightening. Since I don’t know all her tricks, there are a lot of terrifying aspects to her.”

(Even so, the fans are likely expecting you to achieve V9 / your 9th defense?)

“Well yeah, of course! If they don’t witness my defense road, we won’t be able to reach all those different places. I will do my best to reach my goals.”

(Between fear and confidence, which is bigger right now?) “I only have confidence, honestly. Up until now, I’ve never gone into a match thinking, ‘I might lose to this person.’ I have nothing but confidence. I don’t think there’s anyone who can stop Chihiro Hashimoto. The fans are probably excited wondering who is going to be the one to finally beat me, but the one who built that aura is me. There are just some things I cannot yield.”

(Naturally, you plan to close out Sunplaza as well…?)

“With a Gyun! Gyun, Gyun, Gyun! That’s how I want to close it.”

(She lost the match, but Manami’s energetic performance stood out, didn’t it?) “Manami is really… well, it ended up like that at the end. She used to have a bad habit of dragging out a slump once she got knocked down, but today I saw her fighting to bounce back. I haven’t seen Manami get physically exhausted and sluggish for a long time. The power of youth is truly a scary thing.”

(Is that also a driving force for Sendai Girls’ Pro Wrestling right now?) “I truly believe it’s every single individual creating this momentum. Everyone is facing a really good direction right now. I want to show something that continues this trend.”
