The is a professional wrestling six-woman tag team championship owned by World Wonder Ring Stardom. The title was first announced during Stardom's year-end event on December 24, 2012,[2] [3] and two days later its name was revealed as the "Artist of Stardom Championship", with a four-team one night single-elimination tournament announced to determine the inaugural champions.[4] [5] The current champions are Cosmic Angels (Tam Nakano, Saori Anou and Natsupoi) who are in their first reign as a team.
On January 14, 2013, Kawasaki Katsushika Saikyou Densetsu (Act Yasukawa, Natsuki☆Taiyo and Saki Kashima) defeated Team Shimmer (Kellie Skater, Portia Perez and Tomoka Nakagawa) in the finals of the tournament to become the inaugural champions.[6] [7]
The championship belts were introduced on February 6, 2013, when they arrived to Stardom's office from their American maker "Top Rope Belts". The belts are rare among all other tag team championship belts in that they are all of different color; one is blue, one orange and one pink. There is no rule for the belt color distribution into the teams. Each title holder gets to choose her own belt colour freely. The biggest star-shaped plate is inscribed with "Three stars make the highest magic", while the three smaller star plates feature the words "high, art, bonds". These inscriptions depict the strong unity of the three-woman tag team which holds the championship.[8]
On April 9, 2017, the title was vacated due to Momo Watanabe being unable to perform due to an injury. On April 15, a one-day, four-team tournament took place to crown a new champion. The winners were Queen's Quest (AZM, HZK and Io Shirai).
As of,, there have been a total of 30 reigns shared between 28 teams composed of 49 individual champions and five vacancies. The inaugural championship team was Kawasaki Katsushika Saikyou Densetsu (Act Yasukawa, Natsuki☆Taiyo and Saki Kashima). The teams Stars (Mayu Iwatani, Saki Kashima and Tam Nakano) and Queen's Quest (AZM, HZK and Io Shirai) are tied with most reigns at two, while individually, Shirai has the most reigns at six. As a team, Cosmic Angels (Mina Shirakawa, Nakano and Unagi Sayaka) has the longest reign at 291 days, while AZM's, HZK's, and Shirai's first reign is the shortest at 21 days. Kyoko Kimura is the oldest champion at 39 years old, while AZM is the youngest at 14 years old.
