Title history
The championship was introduced by the JWP Joshi Puroresu promotion on August 3, 2008, when Harukura (Kayoko Haruyama and Tsubasa Kuragaki) defeated Manami Toyota and Yumiko Hotta in a tournament final to become the inaugural champions.[1] The title was afterwards defended together with the JWP Tag Team Championship, with only one exception. On January 16, 2011, Harukura successfully defended just the Daily Sports Women's Tag Team Championship against Hailey Hatred and Kaori Yoneyama.[2] Together, the two titles were sometimes referred to as the "JWP Double Crown Tag Team Championship".[3] When JWP Joshi Puroresu went out of business in April 2017, the two titles were separated again with the JWP title remaining with the JWP production company, while the Daily Sports title moved on to Command Bolshoi's new follow-up promotion,[4][5] Pure-J.[6][7]
Like most professional wrestling championships, the title is won as a result of a scripted match.
Harukura (Kayoko Haruyama and Tsubasa Kuragaki) were the first champions in the title's history.[1] Command Bolshoi and Leon's first reign as a team is the longest in the title's history at 713 days. The reign was the final to take place in JWP Joshi Puroresu and the first in Pure-J. The teams of Azumi Hyuga and Ran Yu-Yu, and Uematsu☆Ran (Ran Yu-Yu and Toshie Uematsu) share the record for the shortest reign, at 14 days. Harukura holds the record most reigns as a team, with three.[8][1][9] Command Bolshoi holds the record for most reigns individually, with four.[10][11][12][13] Overall, there have been thirty reigns shared among thirty-two different wrestlers and twenty-four teams. Leon and Miyuki Takase are the current champions in their first reign as a team. Individually, this is the fourth reign for Leon.
Reigns
As of March 19, 2026, there have been a total of 35 reigns shared between 29 different teams composed of 36 individual champions and five vacancies. Harukura (Kayoko Haruyama and Tsubasa Kuragaki) were the inaugural champions. Harukura also holds the record for most reigns at three, while individually, Command Bolshoi, Leon, Hanako Nakamori and Kaori Yoneyama are tied with most reigns at four. P-Ray-L (Bolshoi and Leon )'s reign is the longest at 713 days, while Azumi Hyuga and Ran Yu-Yu's reign is the shortest at 14 days. Cherry is the oldest champion at 49 years old,[a] while Arisa Nakajima is the youngest at 23 years old.
Hanako Nakamori and Kaho Kobayashi are the current champions in their first reign as a team, while individually, this is the second reign for Haruhi. They won the title by defeating Moeka Haruhi and Yuna Manase at PURE-J Rainbow Mountain 2025 ~ PURE-J 8th Anniversary on August 11, 2025, in Tokyo, Japan.
