The Artist of Stardom Championship (アーティスト・オブ・スターダム王座, Ātisuto Obu Sutādamu Ōza) is the top trios championship in World Wonder Ring Stardom (Stardom) promotion. The title was first announced during Stardom's year-end event on December 24, 2012, 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. The finals of the tournament took place on January 14, 2013, and saw Kawasaki Katsushika Saikyou Densetsu (Act Yasukawa, Natsuki☆Taiyo and Saki Kashima) defeat Team Shimmer (Kellie Skater, Portia Perez and Tomoka Nakagawa) to become the inaugural champions. The title belt was crafted by American company Top Rope Belts. Like most professional wrestling championships, the title is won as a result of a scripted match. There have been 30 reigns shared among 28 different teams consisting of 49 distinctive wrestlers. Bari Bari Bombers (Giulia, Thekla and Mai Sakurai) are the current champions in their first reign, while it is the second reign individually for Giulia.
