History

edit

On January 4, 2016, Miyu Yamashita was crowned the inaugural Tokyo Princess of Princess Champion by defeating Shoko Nakajima at Tokyo Joshi Pro '16.[2]

On July 16, 2019, the title was re-named as the Princess of Princess Championship.[4]

Belt design

edit

The first version of the belt was introduced on October 12, 2015, when TJPW announced the creation of the title. Just like all the versions, the original belt also featured a white strap with heart-shaped main and sideplates coloured with shades of gold and pink. The first design of the title was used between 2016 and 2019.[1] The “Tokyo” part of the title’s name was dropped in July 2019 as part of the promotion’s plans to expand their global presence. A redesigned second generation title belt replaced the original on September 2019, with only the main plate being changed. The current and third design of the belt was announced in February 2026 and revealed during the Grand Princess '26 pay-per-view from March 29. It features golden main and side plates.[5]
