Stardom Gold Rush 2023

Stardom Co., Ltd. (Japanese: 株式会社スターダム, Hepburn: Kabushiki gaisha Sutādamu; d/b/a World Wonder Ring Stardom; stylized as ST★RDOM), is a Japanese joshi puroresu or women's professional wrestling promotion based in Nakano, Tokyo, Japan. Stardom was founded in September 2010 by former All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling (AJW) co-producer Rossy Ogawa, retired professional wrestler and mixed martial artist Fuka Kakimoto, and former AJW veteran professional wrestler Nanae Takahashi. From June 2024, Stardom was a subsidiary of New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) until April 2026, where Stardom went back to being a wholly owned subsidiary of Bushiroad. Stardom quickly became one of the top joshi puroresu promotions, largely thanks to gravure idol Yuzuki Aikawa becoming the promotion's public face. Much like JDStar, Stardom also places heavy emphasis on the physical attractiveness of its workers, and publishes several modeling photobooks and calendars of its workers per year. Stardom's in-ring style takes influence from mixed martial arts with many workers relying on kicks as the main part of their offense. Stardom frequently holds shows across Japan. In 2020, "We Are Stardom!!" started airing on BS Nittele and Tokyo MX, which marked the first time that a joshi puroresu promotion had a weekly national television program since AJW left Fuji TV in 2002.
