History

On November 16, 2013, at an International Wrestling Association Japan (IWA Japan) house show, Gatoh Move founder Emi Sakura defeated Kyonin Shihan to unify the vacant IWA World Heavyweight Championship, the AWF World Women's Championship and the IWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship into the IWA Triple Crown Championship (IWA三冠統一王座, IWA sankan tōitsu ōza). This triple crown title was then brought to Gatoh Move to serve as its main singles title.[1]

In 2017, IWA Japan finally folded after ceasing their professional wrestling activities three years earlier.[2] The IWA belts were then returned and Sakura announced the creation of the Super Asia Championship, a new title with a new lineage, as well as an eight-women single-elimination tournament that would crown the first Super Asia Champion. On September 22, at Gatoh Move's 5th Anniversary Show, Riho defeated "Kotori" in the tournament final to become the inaugural champion. [3]

On June 4, 2019, Riho relinquished the title after her eighth defense against Mei Suruga.[4]
