Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling will run their Summer Sun Princess '26 show live on July 18th exclusively on WRESTLEUNIVERSE. The card is stacked, with Princess of Princess Champion Yuki Arai defending her belt against former four-time champion Miyu Yamashita, Wakana Uehara looking to dethrone International Princess Champion Suzume, and the DayDream team of Rika Tatsumi and Miu Watanabe putting their Princess Tag Team Championships on the line against Kyōraku Kyōmei.

One of the marquee matches, the first announced for the show in fact, is Arisu Endo taking on joshi wrestling legend Aja Kong in a singles action, and we were lucky enough to catch a few words with The Walking Rainbow ahead of what is sure to be a sensational match.

Q. At Grand Princess this year, you had a highly praised match teaming with Miyu Yamashita to take on Takumi Iroha and Sareee. Despite the loss many of your fans praised your performance. What were your feelings after that match?

A. Immediately after the match, I was full of frustration, but at the same time, I felt that pro-wrestling is so much fun. It was a mix of emotions and I really couldn’t stop crying.

Q. How important was it for you, and TJPW, to break the TJPW Korakuen hall attendance record?

A. It is something very joyful! To be able to share a happy time with many people is happiness for me! Furthermore, I want to keep updating that record to be even larger, and someday, I want to have TJPW matches in an even bigger venue!

Q. Your tag partner in Daisy Monkey, Suzume, is the current International Princess Champion. You are a former International Princess champion, are there any future plans challenging Suzume for that title?

A. When I held the belt, I was frustrated that I couldn’t do anything with it just by holding it, so if I get the chance, I’d like to challenge her someday.

Q. Summer Sun Princess is on July 18th in Korakuen Hall, and you are scheduled to face Aja Kong. How important is this match for your future career?

A. After the match at Ryogoku Kokugikan, Aja-san spoke to me, and I was saved by her words. Because of that, when this singles match with her was decided, I felt both surprise and joy. I feel like I can move dozens or even hundreds of steps up the stairs of my pro wrestling career. Of course, I’ll fight with the intention of winning, not just to be satisfied with the experience.

Q. The Tokyo Princess Cup is right around the corner. Last year you made it to the finals against Miu Watanabe. What would winning this year’s edition of the tournament mean to you?

A. Last year, I gained the strength to reach the finals for the first time, and it was a year that gave me the confidence that I’m getting stronger. Recently I challenged Yuki Arai for the Princess of Princess belt and lost, but honestly it just made me more fired up. And I want that top belt in TJPW more than ever. So I want to win this tournament and fight for that belt again.

Q. If you can wrestle any wrestler in North America in a singles match or tag match, who would be against?

A. I was supposed to face Jada Stone in a match for the International Championship, but that didn’t happen, so I’d like to face her someday!
