, often stylized as 5â Star GP 2023 was the twelfth annual professional wrestling tournament under the Stardom 5Star Grand Prix Tournament branch promoted by the Japanese promotion World Wonder Ring Stardom. It took between July 23 and September 30, 2023.
The Stardom 5 Star Grand Prix is a professional wrestling tournament held each summer by Stardom. Similar to Bushiroad-owned male counterpart New Japan Pro-Wrestling with the G1 Climax tournament, it is currently held as a round-robin tournament with wrestlers split into two pools. The winner of each pool will compete in the final to decide the winner. As is the case with G1 Climax, a win is two points and a draw is one point for each wrestler.
The event featured professional wrestling matches that resulted from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.
Stardom announced the official participants of the two blocks on June 25, 2023.
Due to the downsizing of the tournament, the 2023 edition featured a total of twenty competitors from which eighteen were directly announced. Both final two vacant spots were furtherly decided. They were contested in a rumble match which took place on June 18, 2023, and was won by Mariah May and Hanan. The bout also involved Koguma, Momo Kohgo, Hina, Saya Iida, Miyu Amasaki, Mai Sakurai, Thekla, Saki Kashima, Fukigen Death, Ruaka, Waka Tsukiyama, Yuna Mizumori, Hanako and Sakura Aya.
