Texas is about to get a major dose of “Princess Power.” While the 2026 FIFA World Cup is the talk of the town, another international spectacle is headed to the Big D. For the second time ever, Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling (TJPW)—Japan’s premier all-female wrestling organization—is bringing its high-octane, “kawaii” combat to Dallas this summer.
What exactly is Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling?
Think of it as a live-action anime battle come to life. Founded in 2012, TJPW is an all-female promotion that fuses the athleticism of professional wrestling with the high-energy pop sensibilities of Japanese idol culture.
Expect dramatic storytelling, stunningly elaborate costumes, and sheer athleticism mixed with comedic skits. It’s widely seen as the real-life extension of the powerful heroines found in manga and anime. On this massive USA tour, the organization is bringing 15 of its top stars to showcase the battle for titles like the Princess of Princess and International Princess championships.
Best of all? It’s an all-ages event, though future wrestling fans 14 and under will need to bring an adult along for the ride.
When and where is the Dallas tournament?
Mark your calendars! The TJPW Texas tour hits North Texas this July for a two-night residency that promises to be one of the largest Japanese wrestling events the city has seen in years.
