Dragongate Japan Pro-Wrestling, often referred to simply as Dragongate or Dragon Gate, is a Japanese professional wrestling promotion founded and headquartered in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture. Most of the promotion's wrestlers are graduates of its Dojo or Yoshihiro "Último Dragón" Asai's Toryumon Gym, and thus the promotion is based on a junior heavyweight style with varying emphasis on high flying maneuvers, flashy technical grappling, and submission wrestling. The promotion is the byproduct of the original Japanese Toryumon promotion.
