The King of Gate (キング・オブ・ゲート Kingu obu Gēto) is an annual tournament held in Dragon Gate. It's designed to determine the strongest wrestler of the year. It is the successor of El Numero Uno from Toryumon Japan. Where El Numero Uno was a round-robin tournament, King of Gate used the single-elimination format and it was originally used at the end of the year, that took place at the December shows following a hiatus in 2009 due to the Generation Warfare, the tournament was moved to Spring in 2010.
In 2016 Dragon Gate adopted a new system and it is a Round Robin tournament that is consisted of four blocks, with two points for a win, one for a draw, zero for a double count-out, and none for a loss. The wrestler finishing atop the points standings in the four blocks advance to the knockout stage, where the winner is determined in a head-to-head match. Matches in the King of Gate have a 20-minute time limit.
In the below results, (C) signifies the Open The Dream Gate Champion at the time of each tournament. Usually, the winners of the tournament earn a shot at the title, assuming they are not already the champions.
For the round-robin tournaments in the King of Gate:
- – winners of each block.

History[]
The tournament was formed in 2005 by Dragon Gate, following the Toryumon Japan split from Dragon Gate. It is the successor of El Numero Uno from Toryumon Japan. Where El Numero Uno was a round-robin tournament, King of Gate used the single-elimination format and it was originally used at the end of the year, that took place at the December shows. The winner, assuming they are not already the champion, receives an opportunity to wrestle for the Open The Dream Gate Championship not long after the tournament is over.
The King of Gate tournament had often been used as a platform for Dragon Gate to push their rising stars. Past winners include Ryo Saito, Naruki Doi, Shingo Takagi, BxB Hulk and YAMATO and others who have gone on to become wrestling superstars. Dick Togo became the first outsider to participate in the tournament and Austin Aries became the first gaijin to participate in the tournament. The 2007 tournament ended in controversy when Gamma was declared the winner by default due to CIMA's inability to continue after taking numerous kicks to the groin. Dragon Kid, who himself lost to Gamma by less than honorable means, demanded a rematch with Gamma and won, though he is not recognized as the winner of the tournament. In the 2008 tournament, Shingo Takagi was scheduled to participate but decided to pull out as he was the reigning Open The Dream Gate Champion at the time. His spot would be filled by outsider Madoka, who won a battle royal. Following a hiatus in 2009 due to the Generation Warfare, the tournament was moved to Spring in 2010. In the 2012 edition of the tournament, CIMA was scheduled to participate but agreed to pull out and be replaced by Eita Kobayashi, who wanted to enter the tournament as his prize for winning the King of Chop tournament.
The only wrestlers who won the Open The Dream Gate Championship after winning the King of Gate were Ryo Saito, Naruki Doi, Masato Yoshino, YAMATO, Ben-K and Eita. Most of the times, the winners of the King of Gate after winning the tournament failed to win the Open The Dream Gate Championship.
Since 2012 the winners of the King of Gate would receive their Open The Dream Gate Championship title shot at the Champion Gate In Hakata until 2015. In 2016 it was moved for the Kobe Pro-Wrestling Festival PPV. In 2016 Dragon Gate adopted a new system and it is a Round Robin tournament that is consisted of four blocks, covering twenty shows. During the round-robin portion, a win is worth two points, a draw is worth one, and a loss zero; all matches have a 20-minute time limit, if the matches ended in a double count-out none of the wrestlers receive any points. In the 2018 edition of the tournament, Masaaki Mochizuki was scheduled to participate but instead decided to pull out of the tournament due to being the Open the Dream Gate Champion and instead decided a Young Generation wrestler to participate in his place, and decided to defend the title on the June 10. The Young Generation wrestler who replaced Mochizuki ended up being Shun Skywalker. On June 9, Masato Yoshino defeated YAMATO in the finals to become the first wrestler to win the King of Gate for a second time.
In the 2019 edition of the tournament, PAC was pulled out of the tournament due to being the reigning Open The Dream Gate Champion. In 2019, it was announced that the winner would be to determine the strongest wrestler in the promotion.
In the 2020 edition of the tournament, Dragon Gate changed the system from a round-robin tournament to a singles elimination tournament, with the final semifinal spot being decided in a battle royal from a wrestler that was eliminated in the tournament. It was also announced that the reigning Open The Dream Gate Champion Naruki Doi would participate in the tournament. Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in Japan, the tournament would be held in an empty arena, with the tournament also being aired in tape delay.

2008[]
The fourth King of Gate Tournament took place over the course of six days from December 2-19, 2008. Shingo Takagi was scheduled to participate, but decided to pull out as he was the reigning Open The Dream Gate Champion at the time. His spot would be filled by outsider Madoka, who won a battle royal on November 29 to earn an entry. Masato Yoshino was scheduled to participate in the tournament. However, a match was made before the tournament even started between Veteran-gun (Masaaki Mochizuki, Don Fujii and Magnitude Kishiwada) against Real Hazard (Gamma, Genki Horiguchi and Yasushi Kanda). If Veteran-gun won, Kishiwada would participate in the tournament and if Real Hazard won Kanda was going to participate in the tournament. Kishiwada won so he got Yoshino´s place. Naruki Doi the winner of the tournament went on defeating Shingo Takagi to win the Open The Dream Gate Championship, becoming the first wrestler to doing so. Ryo Saito was legitimately injured his right arm during his first round match with BxB Hulk. It was severe enough for the referee to call the match. Naoki Tanizaki's ring out loss to Don Fujii in the second round was caused by an intrusion from Cyber Kong.

2018[]
The 2018 King of Gate, a round-robin tournament, featured 4 blocks and took place from May 8 to June 9, covering sixteen shows. Reigning Open The Dream Gate Champion Masaaki Mochizuki was scheduled to participate in the tournament but instead decided to pull out of the tournament due to being the Open the Dream Gate Champion and instead decided a Young Generation wrestler to participate in his place, and decided to defend the title on the June 10.
It was later announced that the wrestler with the lowest punctuation in each block, would take part of a mini-tournament to decide the last placed wrestler in the tournament, between June 2 and June 3. On April 6, it was announced that the winner of the King of Gate would receive his Open The Dream Gate Championship title opportunity at the following day on June 10.
On April 22 Shun Skywalker took part of a six-man tag team match, where the wrestler who got the win would fill the spot of the Young Generation wrestler, which he filled after pinning Oji Shiiba to win the match and to take part of the tournament. During the tournament, Dragon Kid suffered an ankle injury, which led him to forfeit all of his matches. Thus, the next lowest ranked wrestler in Block C (Eita) replaced Kid in the Losers' Tournament. On June 9, Masato Yoshino defeated YAMATO in the finals to become the first wrestler to win the King of Gate for a second time.
