About Dragon Gate
Dragon Gate is one of Japan's most distinctive professional wrestling promotions. Founded in 2004 after a split from Toryumon Japan, it's known for a style called "lucharesu" — a blend of Mexican lucha libre and Japanese technical wrestling. The promotion runs over 50 events a year, with a heavy focus on faction-based storytelling and fast-paced, high-flying action. The next big show is Golden Colosseum on April 26 at the Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium.
Top stars
YAMATO is the veteran ace of the promotion. He's been a top guy for years and is currently one of the leaders of the face faction. Shun Skywalker is the young star who's been carrying the company in recent years. Madoka Kikuta held the Open the Dream Gate Championship through late 2025. Dragon Dia and Yuki Yoshioka are the current Open the Twin Gate champions. The roster is deep with homegrown talent from the Kobe dojo, plus veterans like Genki Horiguchi and Masaaki Mochizuki still mixing it up.
The faction system
Dragon Gate runs on factions. Everyone is in a unit — Z-Brats, D'courage, Gajadokuro, Natural Vibes, and others. The factions feud, split, merge, and betray each other constantly. It's how stories are built. Most shows are built around multi-man tag matches where faction warfare plays out. The Dead or Alive cage match in May is always a faction vs. faction bloodbath.
Viewership
Dragon Gate pulls around 2 million streaming views annually. The numbers are strongest in Japan, where the promotion has a loyal live attendance base. International interest has grown with the Dragon Gate Network, which makes shows accessible worldwide. The Kobe World event in July is the biggest show of the year and draws the most attention.

Dragon Gate has a limited TV presence. GAORA Sports broadcasts selected matches, usually delayed and edited. The main way to watch in Japan is through the Dragon Gate Network.
