Dragongate

Dragongate (DRAGONGATE株式会社, DRAGONGATE Kabushiki-gaisha; formerly Dragon Gate and currently promoted as Dragongate Japan Pro-Wrestling (ドラゴンゲート・ジャパン・プロレスリング, Doragongēto Japan puroresuringu)) is a Japanese professional wrestling promotion founded and headquartered in Kobe, Hyōgo, Japan. The byproduct of the original Japanese Toryumon (闘龍門, Tōryūmon) promotion founded by Último Dragón, it is considered one of the current five major wrestling promotions in Japan. The promotion is based on a junior heavyweight style with varying emphasis on high flying maneuvers, flashy technical grappling, and submission wrestling. In its founding, and continuous to this day, Dragongate runs on a faction-based roster system, with the main heel stable(s) being derived from the previous, and face stables coming and going as time goes on. Dragongate is currently owned by CEO Toru Kido as of 2018, and is a member of the United Japan Pro-Wrestling association.
