KO-D Tag Team Championship

History

The titles were created in 2001 when Nosawa and Takashi Sasaki, while on tour in Mexico, allegedly defeated Starman and Vertigo on June 2, 2001, at a Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre event. On August 16, Mikami and Super Uchuu Power vacated the titles and put it up for grab in the KO-D Tag League. They then defeated Sanshiro Takagi and Shoichi Ichimiya in the finals to win it back. However, a month later, the team split up and the titles were vacated again.

The titles were vacated a third time in May 2002 after Mikami suffered an injury. It was once again contested in the KO-D Tag League and won by the Suicideboyz (Mikami and Thanomsak Toba).

The 2003 and 2004 editions of the KO-D Tag League saw respectively Tomohiko Hashimoto and Seiya Morohashi, and Hero! and Kudo win the tournament and the title. On July 31, 2004, Glenn "Q" Spectre became the first non-Japanese wrestler to win the title when he teamed with Danshoku Dino to defeat Ryuji Ito and Sanshiro Takagi.

In February 2020, the belts were replaced with a new design featuring the current DDT logo.

On May 22, 2022, Asuka became the first woman to win the title when she teamed with Mao to defeat Calamari Drunken Kings (Chris Brookes and Masahiro Takanashi). On November 22, it was announced that Harimau (Kazusada Higuchi and Naomi Yoshimura) would vacate the title because Yoshimura suffered an injury four days prior and would be out of action.

On May 21, 2023, at the 2023 King of DDT Final event, champion Shunma Katsumata suffered a broken foot during his first defense of the DDT Extreme Championship. The following day, Katsumata had to vacate both the DDT Extreme and KO-D Tag Team Championships.

On November 21, 2024, it was announced that Katsumata had sustained a torn anterior ligament and that he and his partner Mao would relinquish their title once again.
