The Open the Brave Gate Championship is a professional wrestling title created and promoted by the Japanese promotion Dragongate. It has a weight limit of 83 kg, though it has been defended against heavier wrestlers in the past. It can be considered the secondary singles title in Dragongate and is more of a light heavyweight championship.

History

The championship was created on March 13, 2005 when Naruki Doi defeated Yossino in a tournament final.

Belt design

The first design of the belt, from 2005 to 2019, had the faceplate logo divided into eight pieces, each representing the eight wrestlers who fought in the tournament to determine the inaugural champion. During Gamma's reign, he threw away all eight pieces of the faceplate and replaced it with his own plate, renaming it Open the Gamma Gate, and dictating and often changing the rules of his title defenses. This ended when Masato Yoshino, wrestling as the masked Dr. Muscle, defeated Gamma and restored it to the Brave Gate title, vacating it soon afterwards.
