# Ryūkon Cup

The Ryūkon Cup (Japanese: 龍魂杯, Hepburn: Ryūkon-hai, lit. "Dragon Soul Cup") is an annual single elimination professional wrestling tournament held by Tenryu Project since 2021.
The first edition, announced at Survive the Revolution Vol. 11 on October 26, 2021, was meant to feature wrestlers who had a connection to Tenryu Project founder Genichiro Tenryu. Though it is held every year in November, the first three editions were numbered instead of being referred to by year (e.g. the first edition was titled Ryūkon Cup I).
Toru is the inaugural winner of the tournament.
