# King of DDT Tournament

The King of DDT Tournament (Japanese: KING OF DDTトーナメント, Hepburn: Kingu Obu Dī Dī Tī Tōnamento) is an annual single elimination professional wrestling tournament held by CyberFight's DDT Pro-Wrestling brand.
Though DDT also runs the annual D-Oh Grand Prix tournament, the King of DDT is different in that it is single-elimination, whereas the D-Oh Grand Prix is a round-robin. Like the D-Oh Grand Prix however, the winner of the tournament receives a shot at the KO-D Openweight Championship; this stipulation was added in 2009.
The number of participants in the King of DDT has varied over the years, from a lowest of 8 in 2005 to a highest of 32 in 2018. Poison Sawada Julie is the inaugural winner of the tournament; Kudo, Harashima, Tetsuya Endo and Konosuke Takeshita are the only two-time winners.

## History

On April 29, 2001, Mikami won the Take The Royal tournament that ran over the two DDT Golden Jack events held on that same day. For his victory, he was awarded a crown by Commissioner Yamamo, symbolically crowning him "King of DDT". This precursor tournament was acknowledged in the build-up to the inaugural King of DDT Tournament in 2004.
After the first two editions in 2004 and 2005, DDT produced four annual King of DDT events from 2006 to 2009 which featured no tournament. The tournament returned in 2009 as the KO-D Openweight Championship Contendership Tournament, held over two Dramatic Next Door events on June 7 and one final event on July 10. In 2010, the tournament was held over two King of DDT 2010 events held on May 23 and May 30, in Osaka and Tokyo respectively. In 2011, the tournament reverted to its original name.
Until 2020, the KO-D Openweight Champion at the time of the tournament did not participate and, since 2018, neither do the Right to Challenge Anytime Anywhere Contract holders. In 2022, champion Tetsuya Endo had to vacate the title two days before the start of the tournament after he suffered an injury. It was then announced that, instead of receiving a shot at the title, the winner of this edition would be directly crowned champion.
