Oedo Tai (大江戸隊,Ōedo-tai; stylizedOEDotai, also known as "Oedo Corps" in Japanese) was a villainous professional wrestling stable mainly performing in the Japaneseprofessional wrestling promotionWorld Wonder Ring Stardom and theJapanese independent scene between 2015 and 2024.[3][4]
The group originally formed after Kimura Monster Gun'sKyoko Kimura,Kris Wolf and Hudson Envy joined forces withAct Yasukawa, Dragonita andHeidi Lovelace following the events of Stardom's 4th Anniversary show on January 18, 2015, defining themselves as the founding members of the unit. With Yasukawa and Kimura acting as co-leaders, they rebranded themselves with a Samurai theme due to Act, who was "The Samurai Spirit" ofStardom.[5] Yasukawa won theWonder of Stardom Championship the same night after defeatingMayu Iwatani.[6] The first match under theOedo Tai name saw Yasukawa, Hudson Envy and Kimura defeating Heisei-gun (Mayu Iwatani,Takumi Iroha andYoshiko) in asix-woman tag team match on the second night of theStardom New Year Stars 2015 which took place on February 1.[7] On February 8, atStardom Queen's Shout, the unit went for the first time after tag team gold, as Dragonita,Heidi Lovelace and Hudson Envy unsuccessfully challenged Heisei-gun (Io Shirai, Iwatani and Iroha) for theArtist of Stardom Championship.[8] The rush continued on February 22, atStardom Queen's Shout, Kimura and Hudson Envy teamed up and unsuccessfully challenged 7Kairi (Kairi Hojo andNanae Takahashi) for theGoddesses of Stardom Championship.[9]
Yasukawa was in a feud with Yoshiko, whom she challenged for theWorld of Stardom Championship on February 22. Things got off-script during the match, while Yoshiko legitimately attacked and injured Yasukawa, therefore getting stripped of the title and being suspended for an indefinite period.[9] Yasukawa, who was the Wonder of Stardom Champion at the time had to furtherly relinquish the title on May 1, due to complications from her multiple injuries caused by the incident.[10] Three days later from the occurrence, Stardom held a press conference where Yoshiko apologised for her actions, but subsequently remained suspended.[11]
On the fifth night of theStardom Grows Up Star 2015 on April 12,Thunder Rosa teamed up withKris Wolf to defeat Mayu Iwatani andMomo Watanabe, match which would mark her debut in the promotion as part of the stable.[12] On the second night of theStardom Golden Week Stars 2015 which took place on May 6,Star Fire marked her debut in the unit by teaming up with Kris Wolf in a losing effort to Io Shirai and Mayu Iwatani in the semi-finals of a tournament to crown new Goddesses of Stardom Champions.[13]Nikki Storm also made her first appearance inStardom as part of the unit on June 14, atStardom Galaxy Stars 2015, where she teamed up withStar Fire and unsuccessfully challenged Io Shirai and Mayu Iwatani for the Goddesses of Stardom Championship.[14] During the5★Star Grand Prix 2015 tournament which took place beginning on August 23,La Rosa Negra joined the group, while competing in the B block of the tournament against stablemates Kris Wolf and Hudson Envy, Mayu Iwatani,Kaori Yoneyama and Io Shirai.[15] On September 23, on the eight night of the tournament, La Rosa Negra successfully captured theHigh Speed Championship from stablemate Star Fire, with no major occurrences after the match. This was the latter's last match in Stardom and as part of Oedo Tai.[16] AtStardom Mask Fiesta 2015 ~ Halloween Party on October 25, La Rosa Negra represented the stable in asix-person masked tag team match where she teamed up with Black Dragon andKaoru Maeda in a losing effort to Io Shirai, Mayu Iwatani andÚltimo Dragón.[17] At the 2015 edition of theGoddesses of Stardom Tag League, Kris Wolf and Kyoko Kimura teamed up to represent the stable in a first-round match where they fell short toHiroyo Matsumoto andSantana Garrett on November 11. The other pair which represented Oedo Tai in the competition was the team of Act Yasukawa and the new member of the stable,Holidead, who joined the unit during the event on November 3. The two teamed up on the same night, falling short to Kairi Hojo andHaruka Kato.[18]

Act Yasukawa returned in the in-ring competition in September 2015 after recovering from the injuries suffered during the incident with Yoshiko, but only for a brief period until December 23, when she announced her retirement fromprofessional wrestling, remaining the manager of the group until early 2016. Kyoko Kimura subsequently remained the sole leader of the unit since then, and spent her time recruiting a handful of wrestlers in the first couple of months.[19] The unit always had their doors open for new competitors from outside ofJapan.
On the first night of theStardom 5th Anniversary on January 17, 2016, Kaitlin Diemond andViper debuted in the stable by teaming up against Hyper Destroyers (Evie andKellie Skater), obtaining the no. 1 contendership for the Goddesses of Stardom Championship, match which they would lose three days later to the champions Thunder Rock (Io Shirai and Mayu Iwatani).[20] On the fifth night of theStardom Grows Up Stars 2016 on April 17, theluchadora Diosa Atenea teamed up with Kyoko Kimura as the new recruit of the unit, picking up a victory againstKagetsu and Lizzy Styles. The true purpose of the match was that Kimura tried to recruit Kagetsu in the stable but yet unsuccessfully.[21] Six days later atStardom Grows Up Stars 2016 - Kairi Hojo Homecoming on April 23, Kagetsu finally joined the stable and teamed up with Kyoko Kimura being accompanied at ring side by Act Yasukawa, to defeat Hiroyo Matsumoto andJungle Kyona.[22] On May 29, on the first night of theStardom Shining Stars 2016 event,Leah Vaughan became the newest recruit of the unit as she teamed up with Kagetsu, Kris Wolf and Diosa Atenea to defeat Jungle Kyona and Thunder Rock (Io Shirai and Mayu Iwatani) in asix-man tag team match.[23] The unit captured the first tag team gold atStardom Premium Stars 2016 on June 16, when Kyoko Kimura and Kagetsu defeated Thunder Rock (Io Shirai and Mayu Iwatani) for the Goddesses of Stardom Championship.[24] On September 22, on the eight night of theStardom 5★Star Grand Prix 2016, Kyoko Kimura and Kagetsu would team up with a mystery wrestler to go against JKGReeeeN (Jungle Kyona and Momo Watanabe) and Mayu Iwatani. That mystery partner wasHana Kimura, Kyoko's daughter who subsequently joined the stable. The three members of the unit picked up the victory.[25] They would eventually become the strongest sub-group of the unit after winning the Artist of Stardom Championship for the first time atStardom in Shin-Kiba Taikai on October 2, by defeating Threedom (Io Shirai, Kairi Hojo and Mayu Iwatani).[26] Late in 2016, Kimura injured her wrist, which led to her going on a hiatus to recover.[27][28]
Kyoko Kimura and Kagetsu represented the unit outside of Stardom atWAVE Happy New Year 2017 on January 8, an event promoted byPro Wrestling Wave where they unsuccessfully challengedMisaki Ohata andRyo Mizunami for theWave Tag Team Championship.[29]
Kyoko Kimura retired from professional wrestling on January 22, 2017, at theKyoko Kimura Retirement Produce Last Afro, an event promoted by theJapanese independent scene where she teamed up with Hana and her husband,mixed martial artist Isao Kobayashi in a losing effort toAja Kong,Meiko Satomura &Minoru Suzuki.[30] Kagetsu was handed Kyoko's jitte, symbolizing the start of his leadership.[citation needed] Along with Hana, Kris Wolf and others, they kept the Oedo Tai name going, but the group started to fall apart.[citation needed] Wolf took off for some international matches and Kagetsu more or less looked like he also retired.[citation needed] Hana was left alone and struggled to keep the unit active while taking the leadership for several months.[citation needed] She challenged Mayu Iwatani for the Wonder of Stardom Championship title atStardom Shining Stars 2017 on June 11, with an extra stipulation. If Hana won, Mayu would join Oedo Tai, but if Mayu won, Oedo Tai would be forced to disband.[citation needed] The match ended in ano-contest when Kagetsu returned attacking Mayu and the referee.[citation needed] Right after that, Wolf returned after being away for a couple of months.[citation needed] Thunder Rosa, La Rosa Negra and Holidead would also emigrate fromJapan to wrestle in theAmerican scene and subsequently left the unit in May.[citation needed] After those several departures, the unit suffered a slight gimmick change as the second generation of Oedo Tai was truly born.[31]
Kagetsu reinvented his look after returning on the fourth night of theStardom Shining Stars 2017 on June 21, where he teamed up with Hana Kimura to defeat Hiroyo Matsumoto and Jungle Kyona for the Goddesses of Stardom Championship.[32] Due to limiting themselves to a trio, Kagetsu, Wolf and Hana Kimura would look for new recruits as they broughtTam Nakano to the unit on September 10, during the5STAR Grand Prix.[33] Another member presented by Kagetsu on November 4, during theGoddesses of Stardom Tag League wasSumire Natsu who came fromPro Wrestling Wave.[citation needed]
Unfortunately Tam Nakano was forced to leave the stable and joinQueen's Quest after being eliminated the last in a10-woman elimination tag team match which occurred on January 21, 2018, atStardom 7th Anniversary.[34] On March 25, Wolf left Stardom and subsequently Oedo Tai due tovisa issues which prevented her to wrestle inJapan anymore.[35] On April 15,HZK,Martina and Nao Yamaguchi joined the uint after the 2018 Stardom Drafts.[36] On June 9, atStardom Shining Stars, Kagetsu defeatedToni Storm to win theWorld of Stardom Championship.[37] The stable made a couple of brief appearances in theAmerican independent scene. On June 29, HZK, Kagetsu and Hana Kimura represented the stable atBest in the World 2018, an event promoted byRing of Honor.[38] AtROH Wrestling #358 on June 30, Hana Kimura and Kagetsu teamed up to defeat Jenny Rose and Mayu Iwatani.[39] During Kagetsu's final match in the 2018 5 Star Grand Prix on September 24, Kimura betrayed Oedo Tai by attacking Kagetsu with a chair, causing Kagetsu to lose and fail to reach the finals. Following the match, Kimura declared that she was no longer affiliated with Oedo Tai.[40] This would lead to a showdown between the two atStardom True Fight 2018 in ano disqualification match that saw both new enemies collide in theKorakuen Hall. The match would end via referee's decision as Kagetsu got a measure of revenge over the new Hana Kimura who would later join the Tokyo Cyber Squad stable.[41]
On the fourth night of theStardom Shining Stars 2019 on January 2, Kagetsu, Sumire Natsu and HZK teamed up to faceJamie Hayter, Hana Kimura andBobbi Tyler ofTokyo Cyber Squad in asix-man tag team match in which Hayter betrayed Kimura and Tyler, providing the victory of Oedo Tai's members. ThePro-Wrestling: EVE's member joined the unit right after the match.[42] The stable was growing again, withSendai Girls' Pro Wrestling's Andras Miyagi joining atStardom Queen's Fest on February 17, as the "X", (that being the mystery tag team partner called by Stardom) of Kagetsu in the tag team match against JAN (Jungle Kyona andNatsuko Tora) which they won.[43] After the 2019 drafts from April 14, Sumire Natsu, HZK and Andras Miyagi teamed up to defeat JAN (Natsuko Tora, Leo Onozaki andSaya Iida). Due to the draft results, Tora switched factions as she joined Oedo Tai[44] Andras Miyagi was kicked out of the group after dropping the Artist of Stardom Championship alongside Kagetsu and Sumire Natsu toQueen's Quest'sAZM, Momo Watanabe andUtami Hayashishita.[45] HZK announced her retirement from professional wrestling took place on December 24, atStardom Year-End Climax, where she fell short to Tora in asingles match.[46][47]

Tora adopted a new look and took Oedo Tai back to its roots as aheel faction, starting the third generation.[51] Due to theCOVID-19 pandemic,Bea Priestley andJamie Hayter became unable to perform for Stardom, and therefore the Goddesses of Stardom Championship was vacated.[52] Priestley returned to Stardom on September 19, where she attackedSaya Iida during Iida's match against Tora.[53] On October 3 atYokohama Cinderella 2020,Konami teamed up with her fellow Tokyo Cyber Squad stablemateJungle Kyona against Tora andSaki Kashima in a match where the losing unit had to disband.
