Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling (東京女子プロレス,Tōkyō Joshi Puroresu;TJPW) is a Japanesejoshi puroresu orwomen's professional wrestling promotion founded in 2012 as a sister promotion ofDDT Pro-Wrestling. Initially running alongside other shows such as live music and otheridol performances, it became its own standalone promotion starting on February 28, 2015.

As of 2024, TJPW is promoted under theCyberFight banner as a sister promotion to both DDT Pro-Wrestling andPro Wrestling Noah.

On June 4, 2012, Tokyo Joshi Pro was announced byDDT Pro-Wrestling. Set to be run by formerIce Ribbon andNEO Japan Ladies Pro-Wrestling promoter and booker Tetsuya Koda and wrestler Nozomi, the promotion was established in late 2012 and thus a recruitment process began for wrestlers. Four of the first wrestlers recruited wereMiyu Yamashita,Shoko Nakajima, Kanna and Chikage Kiba. The training of the wrestlers was mostly handled by Nozomi herself, with help from DDT wrestlerKyohei Mikami.^[1][2][3] Nozomi left DDT on November 30, 2012, but on the same day the trainees were introduced to the public in a press conference and it was announced they would debut in 2013.

Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling's debut show took place on January 30, 2013, at Akihabara Twin Box in Tokyo. The show featured just two matches, asambo exhibition between trainee Chikage Kiba and DDT referee and former sambo competitor Daisuke Kiso, and a singles match between traineesMiyu Yamashita and Kanna. The show did not use a wrestling ring, and instead all matches took place on training mats, similar to theIce Ribbon promotion in its early years.^[4] Along with wrestling matches, the debut show featured live music fromidol units. As TJP's roster was very small at the start, most of their early shows followed this same formula and only ran small venues. Entry to their first few shows was free as a way of introducing themselves to a bigger audience, and their first paid show was held on April 26.^[5][6][7][8] As their roster of trainees expanded in 2014, TJPW began including more matches on their cards, and began using a ring. They also ran a show with an appearance fromvoice actress/wrestlerAi Shimizu in November 2014.^[9][10][11] TJPW held its first full show without an idol performance on February 28, 2015 atShinjuku Face. At the show, Ai Shimizu and Saki Akai confirmed they would be competing with the promotion regularly, and more trainees debuted at the show.^[12]

On January 4, 2016, TJPW held its first ever show inKorakuen Hall, a famed wrestling venue inpuroresu. Main evented byMiyu Yamashita defeating Shoko Nakajima to become the first everTokyo Princess of Princess Champion, it also featured the debut of Yuu and an appearance fromAmerican wrestlerCandice LeRae.^[13] In the spring of 2016, Ai Shimizu and Erin announced their departure from the promotion, however, the summer was a success for the promotion, and TJPW earned a broadcasting deal to be shown on idol-centric channel Pigoo.^[14]

On January 4, 2017, TJPW held its second annual Korakuen show, main evented by Yuu retaining the Tokyo Princess of Princess title over Shoko Nakajima.^[15] On May 29, an audition was held for four young wrestlers to form a wrestling/idol group to be known as the "Up-Up Girls". On July 20, four women were picked and began training to wrestle shortly after. On December 4, the Up-Up Girls debuted with an idol performance, but didn't appear in ring until January 4, 2018.

On January 4, 2018, TJP's third annual Korakuen show proved to be a success, drawing over 1000 fans for the first time ever. The show was also broadcast onAbemaTV for the first time, as well as DDT'sstreaming serviceDDT Universe.

This also marked the end of TJPW being broadcast on Pigoo. On November 1, 2018, the three trainee rules were officially bought to an end, allowing wrestlers to drink, smoke and have relationships on their own accord.
