Dragongate is a Japanese professional wrestling promotion that was founded in 2004. This is a list of their current wrestlers that appear on their shows, as well as their ‘unit’ (team, faction). Other notes included are those of injured wrestlers, championships wrestlers hold, and if they're a sporadic or dormant character. This page is kept up to date with changes on Dragongate's official website.[1]

This is a list of professional wrestlers who currently wrestle for Dragongate. This list also acknowledges which stable (referred to by Dragongate as "units") a wrestler is a part of – this is listed as it is considered by the company to be a vital part of Dragongate. "(L)" indicates the leader of the group. Executive officers, referees and ring announcers are also listed. A large part of wrestlers went under separate classes in the Toryumon and Dragongate Trueborn systems, so their debut classes and year of official debut are provided (as does outsiders' debut classes or training schools).

There are six central units in Dragongate:

  • Gajadokuro [ja]
  • Love & Peace [ja]
  • Natural Vibes [ja]
  • Paradox [ja]
  • XenisS [ja]
  • Xenostal Nova [ja]

There is another unit that is not central, and appears based either on location or another circumstance. Kung Fu Masters 2 [ja] show up to Dragongate shows when they are in a city in Japan that has a Chinatown, or has a greatly-sized Chinese expat or ancestral population.
