Puroresu Project is a curated digital archive for exploring Japanese professional wrestling through wrestlers, timelines, styles, venues, match history, media, and cultural context.
Puroresu Project is independently maintained by a fan of Japanese professional wrestling, with the goal of making puroresu history easier to explore, preserve, and share.
Japanese wrestling has a rich, complex history that deserves to be preserved, connected, and made easier to explore. This project exists to help longtime fans, new viewers, researchers, and curious visitors find their way through that history.
The site is organized around connected entry points: The Story, Timeline, Wrestlers, Lineage, Styles, The Vault, Venues, and Beyond the Ring. Each section is designed to make the archive feel explorable rather than static.
The photography and video featured here are provided for archival and reference purposes only. Puroresu Project does not claim ownership of this media; all rights remain with their respective creators and rights holders.
This project draws from publicly available match records, video archives, books, magazines, promotion histories, venue references, and fan-maintained resources. If you spot an error or have a source that can improve the archive, corrections are welcome.
