Shingo Takagi & Natsupoi announce marriage

Posted on by Bryan Rose

A NJPW wrestler and a Stardom star have been married.

Tokyo Sports reported on Monday that Shingo Takagi and Natsupoi have been married. The two have been dating since May of 2024, when Takagi made a guest appearance at a Stardom event. NJPW is the sister company of Stardom, with both companies owned by Bushiroad.

In the article, Takagi noted that he would like to have children in the future and show them his active career as a professional wrestler. Natsupoi agreed, saying she hopes they hope to build such a future someday.

Both have seen tremendous success in professional wrestling. A former IWGP World Champion, Takagi is a former member of Los Ingobernables de Japon. After Tetsuya Naito left the company last year, Takagi, Hiromu Takahashi, and Yota Tsuji remained unaffiliated for most of 2025. It was made official, however, that the unaffiliated group would form a new faction with remaining Bullet Club War Dogs members to form a brand new faction, Unbound Co.

Natsupoi is a former World of Stardom Champion and has also held the High Speed Championship in the past. At Stardom’s Dream Queendom event at the end of last year, she lost to Sareee.

New match set for NJPW & Stardom Historic X-Over

Posted on by Joseph Currier

A new match announcement has been made for next month’s NJPW x Stardom joint event.

NJPW confirmed today that Natsupoi will team up with Taichi against Thekla & Clark Connors in a mixed tag match at Historic X-Over 2024. The show is taking place from the Edion Arena in Osaka on Sunday, November 17.

This mixed tag is being billed as a “hate-fueled” grudge match involving Natsupoi and Thekla, who were formerly tag team partners and stablemates in Stardom.

“There is a long history of animosity between these former friends. Once a tag team, Natsupoi’s eventual betrayal left a lasting mark on Thekla, who knows how to exploit her former partner’s vulnerabilities. The bad blood between them has only intensified until an elimination tag in Korakuen Hall. While Thekla had promised no interference from her H.A.T.E faction, she didn’t rule out help from others, leading to Clark Connors taking out Natsupoi with a devastating spear, leaving the crowd stunned,” NJPW wrote.

“In their ensuing Wonder of STARDOM bout, Natsupoi was able to emerge victorious, but there is still undeniably business that remains unsettled. Now Natsupoi will team with one of her partners from the first Historic X-Over in Taichi to face Thekla and Connors in a hate fueled grudge bout.”

Historic X-Over first took place in November 2022 and is now returning after the event was not held in 2023. Three matches have been confirmed for this year’s show so far:

NJPW x Stardom Historic X-Over 2024 (Sunday, November 17) —

  • Zack Sabre Jr. & Maika vs. El Desperado & Starlight Kid
  • Great-O-Khan KOPW Championship open challenge to any member of the Stardom roster
  • Natsupoi & Taichi vs. Thekla & Clark Connors

Stardom tag match added to cross-promotional All Together event

Posted on by Joseph Currier

A Stardom tag match is the latest addition to All Together 2024, a cross-promotional event featuring several Japanese wrestling promotions.

AZM & Miyu Amasaki vs. Starlight Kid & Natsupoi will take place at the Monday, May 6 event. Rivals Starlight Kid & Natsupoi are uniting for the bout:

A ‘supernova’ prospect for STARDOM, Amasaki made her debut in 2022, and instantly joined Queen’s Quest. On May 6 she joins a regular teammate in AZM, who is riding high from her first US tour, albeit one that saw her fall short to Stephanie Vaquer for the STRONG Women’s Championship. AZM will be more than happy to show her high speed expertise against familiar foes though, in the form of Starlight Kid and Natsupoi.

With SLK representing Oedo Tai and Natsupoi Cosmic Angels, this is certainly a team of strange bedfellows. In fact, the two women are best known for their fierce rivalry over the High Speed Championship a couple of summers ago, and have never once teamed together. Aligned against a unified and common foe, might this be an exhibition that has wide reaching influences on STARDOM at large? Find out May 6!

AZM made her AEW debut on Collision last week, losing to AEW Women’s World Champion Toni Storm in a title eliminator match.

All Together is the first event under the United Japan Pro-Wrestling banner. It was announced in December 2023 that NJPW, AJPW, NOAH, DDT, Ganbare, Big Japan, Dragon Gate, Stardom, and Tokyo Joshi Pro had come together to form the industry group.

The nine promotions are continuing to operate separately while collaborating to advance pro wrestling in Japan following the COVID-19 pandemic.

A portion of the proceeds from All Together are being donated to victims of the Noto Peninsula earthquake that happened at the beginning of 2024. The show is taking place from Budokan Hall in Tokyo and will stream live on Abema pay-per-view.

Here’s the updated lineup:

  • Hiroshi Tanahashi, Naomichi Marufuji & Sanshiro Takagi vs. EVIL, Ren Narita & Yujiro Takahashi
  • Tomohiro Ishii & Daisuke Sekimoto vs. Jeff Cobb & Masa Kitamiya
  • Kaito Kiyomiya, Shota Umino & Yuki Ueno vs. Konosuke Takeshita, Yuya Uemura & Shun Skywalker
  • Kenoh vs. Kosei Fujita
  • SANADA & KAI vs. Zack Sabre Jr. & Chris Brookes
  • AZM & Miyu Amasaki vs. Starlight Kid & Natsupoi
