NJPW Issues Statement on Future of Tokon Shop Global Following Shutdown of NJPW of America & NJPW Academy

As noted before, New Japan Pro Wrestling recently announced that their NJPW of America subsidiary would be ceasing operations and entering liquidation. Besides the NJPW of America branch, the NJPW Academy in Los Angeles would also be shutting down as well.

NJPW issued an official statement on Wednesday about the status and future of their United States-based Tokon Shop Global.

NJPW stated that it will remain open and operational going forward for their international customers.

NJPW’s official website:

Regarding Tokon Shop Global

Thank you for supporting New Japan Pro-Wrestling.

On November 6, NJPW announced that subsidiary New Japan of America will be ceasing operations.

The official international store of New Japan Pro-Wrestling, Tokon Shop Global, will continue operations after the dissolution. However, because NJoA’s LA Dojo serves as the store’s warehouse,  operational changes will be made.

Sales of pre-order items and products imported from Japan will be halted.

We will address any outstanding orders as quickly as possible. Should there be a significant delay with a pre-order item, we will issue a refund.

All tickets to Wrestle Kingdom purchased through Tokon Shop Global remain valid and may be picked up from the dedicated booth on the day of the event. More information about this process will be made public at a later date.

We will continue to work toward providing the best possible experience to users of Tokon Shop Global. Please check shop.njpw1972.com for news as service updates and improvements are made.
