Title history Belt design
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.
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.
April 15, 2017 tournament On April 9, 2017, the title was vacated after Momo Watanabe was 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).
