Internationally acclaimed women’s wrestling promotion Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling is set to return to the United States for its second-ever American tour with TJPW Texas Stampede 2026, a multi-city event that will bring the promotion’s full roster from Japan to Texas for a week of live performances, wrestling action and interactive fan experiences.
The tour will take place March 17–22, 2026, with events scheduled in Austin, Dallas and Houston, coinciding with the global cultural spotlight of South by Southwest.
The tour represents one of the largest international undertakings by a Japanese women’s wrestling promotion in the United States and gives American audiences a rare opportunity to see the entire TJPW roster perform live outside of Japan.
A Unique Blend of Wrestling, Pop Culture and Performance
Founded in Japan and known for its vibrant presentation style, Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling blends traditional athletic competition with elements of Japanese pop culture and theatrical storytelling.
Fans attending the Texas tour can expect a live experience that combines high-level wrestling with idol-inspired entrances, character-driven performances and comedic moments that help define the promotion’s identity.
Unlike many American wrestling promotions, TJPW places a strong emphasis on personality and creative expression, allowing performers to build unique characters that are often playful, whimsical and deeply rooted in Japanese entertainment culture.
A Diverse Roster of Performers
Part of what makes TJPW stand out internationally is the diverse backgrounds of its performers. The promotion has built a reputation for recruiting talent from a wide range of fields including acting, modeling, tourism and even fans who later trained to become professional wrestlers.
One of the promotion’s most recognizable personalities is Pom Harajuku, whose character is famously described as “forever 8 years old,” reflecting the promotion’s playful approach to storytelling and character creation.
The roster’s combination of athletic ability and personality-driven performances has helped the promotion grow a passionate global fanbase.
Interactive Fan Experience With “Detective Pom”
In addition to the in-ring action, the Texas tour will feature a unique interactive experience created specifically for the event.
Fans will be able to participate in a special Nazotoki mystery game, where attendees work together with “Detective Pom,” the mystery-solving persona of Pom Harajuku, to uncover clues and solve puzzles throughout the event.
The activity introduces a style of Japanese interactive entertainment rarely seen at American wrestling events and aims to create a more immersive experience for fans attending the shows.
Special Ticket Promotion
To celebrate the launch of the tour, organizers are offering a limited-time ticket promotion. Fans can receive 35 percent off tickets by using the discount code TheLastDiscount when purchasing through the official event website.
Additional details and ticket information are available at the official Tokyo Story website.
