The Open the Twin Gate Championship is a professional wrestling tag team title in Japanese promotion Dragon Gate. Dragon Gate had used the WAR IJ Tag Team Championship since 2006, until 2007 when Naruki Doi & Masato Yoshino introduced the new Twin Gate after winning the Summer Adventure Tag League tournament. They later defeated the IJ champions, Kenichiro Arai & Taku Iwasa, to unify the titles and become the first Twin Gate champions. There have been a total of 25 recognized individual champions and 20 recognized teams, who have had a combined 37 official reigns. YAMATO and Naruki Doi hold the most successful consecutive defenses with 9. They are also the longest reigning champions, with their second reign as a team totaling 267 days.
