Sendai Girls' Pro Wrestling (センダイガールズプロレスリング, Sendai Gāruzu Puroresuringu), often called Senjo (仙女, Senjo), is a Japanese women's professional wrestling promotion. It is based in the city of Sendai, Miyagi in the Tohoku region.

History

Sendai Girls' Pro Wrestling was founded in 2005 by Meiko Satomura, a female professional wrestler who achieved success in the 2000s with the women's promotion Gaea Japan, and Jinsei Shinzaki, a male professional wrestler who is also the president of Michinoku Pro Wrestling.^[1]

As the only experienced wrestler on the initial roster, Satomura served as the trainer and booker in addition to her duties as a wrestler. On July 9, 2006 the new promotion held its first show in front of 2498 fans at Sendai's Sun Plaza.^[2] This show consisted of Senjo's first four wrestlers making their debuts in singles matches against four legends of joshi puroresu. The main event featured Satomura against Aja Kong, whom she has feuded with throughout her career. Due to the small size of the roster, most of Senjo's subsequent shows have featured the Sendai girls facing wrestlers from other promotions.^[2]

It was confirmed that Sendai will hold an event on July 27, 2019 in Manchester, England, along with the British promotion Fight Club: Pro. This was Sendai's first event outside of Japan.^[3]

On the last night of World Wonder Ring Stardom's Stardom Cinderella Tournament 2021, Rin Kadokura made an appearance by teaming up with members of the STARS stable Mayu Iwatani, Starlight Kid, Hanan and Koguma to face Oedo Tai's Natsuko Tora, Konami, Fukigen Death, Ruaka and Saki Kashima.^[4]

On Febraury 22, 2024, it was announced that Sendai Girls' events would be aired on Wrestle Universe streaming service on the following month.^[5]
