Japan Indie Awards

The Japan Indie Awards (Japanese: 日本インディー大賞, Hepburn: Nihon Indī Taishō) are Japanese professional wrestling, or puroresu, awards that have been handed out annually since 2007 by the program Indie no Oshigoto, broadcast on the Fighting TV Samurai TV channel.

Unlike the more widely publicized and recognized Tokyo Sports Puroresu Awards that are awarded to all Japanese promotions,[1] the Japan Indie Awards focus on the independent circuit and the smaller promotions.

The awards are voted by fans who can vote online on the Samurai TV website.

The winners are announced before the start of the New Year's Pro-Wrestling event in Korakuen Hall.

[2][3] There are currently five active awards given out by Samurai TV.

The Brahman Brothers won the category five times, including once alongside The Great Sasuke
Mr. Pogo was posthumously awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2017
