Doi in January 2022

###

Ikoma City, Nara, Japan

**Naruki Doi** (土井成樹, *Doi Naruki*, born October 4, 1980 in Ikoma, Nara, Japan) is a Japanese professional wrestler currently working as a freelancer. Doi is widely regarded as one of the greatest wrestlers in Dragon Gate's history.

Doi was trained by Último Dragón, making his debut in May 2000. He was assigned to the Toryumon 2000 Project promotion, consisting of the second class graduates of the Ultimo Dragon Gym. Doi was given a baseball gimmick and competed under the name "Second Doi". Doi was originally groomed as the top face for T2P, but injuries stunted his growth.

He was later absorbed into Toryumon Japan and became part of the promotion's successor Dragon Gate. At the end of 2004, he dropped the gimmick and started competing under his real name. Afterwards, Doi turned heel and embarked on a successful solo career, as his popularity began growing. In 2006, he formed a tag team with Masato Yoshino, as they became one of the greatest and most decorated tag teams in the promotion's history and later shared a long-standing rivalry. In 2008, after turning face, Doi was positioned as one of the company's franchise players, and went on to become one of the most decorated and longest-tenured wrestlers in the promotion's history.

Doi is a two-time world champion, having held the Open The Dream Gate Championship two times. He also held the Open The Brave Gate Championship two times, the Open The Triangle Gate Championship fifteen times, Open The Twin Gate Championship seven times, and the International Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship once, and he is also Dragon Gate's third Grand Slam Champion and the third Triple Crown Champion.

## Professional Wrestling Career

### Toryumon (2000–2004)

Doi debuted in Toryumon Japan as part of the T2P. As one of his family members was a player for the Japanese baseball team the Yomiuri Giants, he was given a baseball gimmick and the name of Second Doi.

Doi was originally groomed as the top face for T2P, but injuries forced him to debut in Japan late and his growth was slightly stunted. He joined the Toryumon Japan roster, and Shin M2K as T2P ended its run, later joining Final M2K.

### Dragon Gate (2004–Present)

#### First heel turn (2004–2008)

After joining Dragon Gate, Doi continued to be part of Final M2K. At the end of 2004, he abruptly dropped the baseball gimmick and started competing under his real name.

In January 2005, Doi turned heel and joined CIMA's new faction Blood Generation. He gained more rank then and rose to be something of a second-in-command for the stable. He also became the first Open The Brave Gate Champion on March 13, defeating YOSSINO in a tournament final to become the inagural champion. He would lose the title to Dragon Kid on November 13.

On April 12, 2006, when Gamma was kicked out of Blood Generation due to constant clashes with CIMA, Doi left with Gamma, along with Masato Yoshino and Naoki Tanizaki. Eleven days later, Doi and Gamma won the rights to the Blood Generation name after defeating CIMA and Don Fujii. Doi's faction renounced it, renaming themselves the Muscle Outlaw'z. The MO'z ranks would grow when Magnitude Kishiwada joined them after returning from a stint of injury, as well as referee Kinta Tamaoka. Doi continued to gain rank in 2007, and formed a regular tag team with Masato Yoshino, known as Speed Muscle, an amalgamation of their respective nicknames "Speed Star" and "Bosou Muscle". Doi and Yoshino declared themselves the first Open The Twin Gate Champions after winning the inaugural Summer Adventure Tag League in June, and later defeated Taku Iwasa and Keni'chiro Arai to win the I-J Heavyweight Tag Team Championship, unifying the two belts. On November 24, Doi and Yoshino added the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship to their collection, after defeating Ricky Marvin and Kotaro Suzuki to win the titles, before losing them to Shingo Takagi and BxB Hulk on January 15, 2008. On February 8, Doi and Yoshino lost the Open The Twin Gate Championship to Taku Iwasa and Keni'chiro Arai, and opted to stop teaming with each other. Doi briefly teamed with Genki Horiguchi, while Yoshino pursued CIMA and the Open the Dream Gate championship. Yoshino put forward an impressive performance, and despite losing, was congratulated by both CIMA and Doi, reconciling their team.

Doi and Yoshino's increasing popularity began to cause a split in the Muscle Outlaw'z, as Yoshino began to feud with stablemate Yasushi Kanda. The MO'z eventually split, with the heel faction of Kanda, Horiguchi, Gamma and YAMATO joining up with Shingo Takagi and Cyber Kong to form Real Hazard. Doi and Yoshino formed their own new stable, World-1, that also included BxB Hulk, Naoki Tanizaki, and m.c. KZ.

#### World-1 and rise to main event status (2008–2010)

In August, he and Yoshino won the Summer Adventure Tag League Tournament for the second year in a row. On September 26, Doi and Yoshino defeated Ryo Saito and Susumu Yokosuka to win the Open the Twin Gate Championship for the second time.

On December 19, Doi defeated Masaaki Mochizuki in the finals to win the King of Gate, therefore granting him a title match. Nine days later, Doi defeated Shingo Takagi to win the Open The Dream Gate Championship.

On May 5, he made a notable defense of the title against the former sumo champion-turned-wrestler Akebono. Despite the huge size difference, he was able to defeat Akebono and retain the title, after hitting him with five consecutive Bakatare Sliding Kicks. On July 19, he got his biggest victory ever when he defeated Open the Brave Gate Champion CIMA in a Title vs. Title match, claiming the Open Brave Gate Championship for a second time and really cementing his status as the unquestioned ace of the promotion. He vacated the Brave Gate immediately afterwards. On March 22, 2010, Doi lost the Open The Dream Gate Championship to YAMATO, ending his reign at 449 days, marking the longest reign as champion. On August 24, Doi and Masato Yoshino won their third Summer Adventure Tag League by defeating Genki Horiguchi and Ryo Saito in the finals.

#### Second heel turn (2010–2012)

On October 13, 2010, Doi turned on Yoshino and joined the former Deep Drunkers and Takuya Sugawara to form a new heel stable. On November 23, 2010, Doi and Gamma defeated K-ness and Susumu Yokosuka to win the Open the Twin Gate Championship. At the final Dragon Gate show of 2010, Final Gate 2010 on December 26, Doi unsuccessfully challenged his former partner Masato Yoshino for the Open the Dream Gate Championship. On January 10, 2011, Doi and Gamma lost the Open the Twin Gate Championship to Don Fujii and Masaaki Mochizuki. On January 14, 2011, Team Doi aligned themselves with CIMA's WARRIORS stable, who turned heel in the process. On January 18 the new group was named Blood Warriors. On September 2, Doi, Kzy and Naoki Tanizaki defeated Gamma, Masato Yoshino and YAMATO to win the Open The Triangle Gate Championship. They were stripped of the title on January 19, 2012, after Tanizaki was sidelined for six months with a shoulder injury.

#### Brief reunion with Masato Yoshino and third heel turn (2012–2012)

After being kicked out of Blood Warriors by new leader Akira Tozawa, Doi reunited with Masato Yoshino to form World-1 International. On May 6, Doi, Yoshino and PAC defeated Jimmyz (Genki Horiguchi H.A.Gee.Mee!!, Jimmy Kanda, and Ryo "Jimmy" Saito) to win the Open The Triangle Gate Championship. The titles were declared vacated on July 22, after PAC left Dragon Gate following their fifth title defense. On November 17, Doi, Yoshino and Shachihoko BOY won the Open the Triangle Gate Championship, after winning a three-way elimination match involving Team Veteran Returns and Jimmyz (Genki Horiguchi H.A.Gee.Mee!!, Mr. Kyu kyu Toyonaka Dolphin, Ryo "Jimmy" Saito).

On September 12, 2013, Doi again turned on Yoshino and jumped to Mad Blankey, signaling the end of World-1 International. On August 5, 2014, Doi became the provisional Open the Dream Gate Champion, when he defeated BxB Hulk in a four-on-one handicap match. He failed to become the official champion, losing to Hulk in a one-on-one match on August 17. On June 13, Doi and YAMATO would defeat Masato Yoshino and Shachihoko Boy to become Open the Twin Gate champions. On August 16, 2015, Mad Blankey was forced to disband after losing to Jimmyz in a five-on-five elimination tag team match, after being betrayed by K-ness. On September 23, Doi formed a new stable named VerserK with Cyber Kong, Kotoka, Mondai Ryu, Shingo Takagi and YAMATO. Doi and YAMATO would hold the Open the Twin Gate championships until losing the titles to T-Hawk and Big R Shimizu on March 6, 2016. They would break Masaaki Mochizuki and Don Fujii's most defenses record with 9 defenses before losing the belts.

On October 12, VeserK was able to defeat Monster Express in a 5 vs 4 Loser Revival Captains Fall match, forcing Monster Express to disbands. After the match, T-Hawk would attack Doi, kicking him out of the group. Doi subsequently became a tweener, and once again began teaming with longtime partner Masato Yoshino.

#### Third reunion with Masato Yoshino (2016–2021)

Doi unsuccessfully challenged YAMATO for the Open the Dream Gate Championship at Final Gate on December 25. On January 18, 2017 Doi, Masaaki Mochizuki and Big R Shimizu participated at the New Years Unit War 6 Man Tag Team Tournament but they were eliminated in the first round by VerserK (T-Hawk, Shingo Takagi and El Lindaman). Later that night Doi dressed as Dr. Muscle saved his longtime partner, Masato Yoshino, Kotoka and Ben-K from an attack from VerserK and the four made an alliance. After this Doi finally completed his face turn. On March 4 Doi, Ben-K and Big R Shimizu challenged VerserK (Shingo Takagi, T-Hawk and Cyber Kong) for the Open The Triangle Gate Championship. However, Kong was injured and he was replaced by "brother" YASSHI and the match would be for the vacant titles. On March 20. 2017 Doi, Ben-K and Big R Shimizu defeated VerserK to win the Open The Triangle Gate Champions. On April 7 Doi, Ben-K and Shimizu successfully defended the Open The Triangle Gate Champions against Jimmyz (Genki Horiguchi H.A.Gee.Mee!!, Jimmy Susumu and Ryo "Jimmy" Saito). After the match, Doi, Ben-K, Shimizu and Masato Yoshino formed a new unit. Later Kotoka would join them naming the unit MaxiMuM.

On May 5, Doi failed to capture the Open The Dream Gate Championship from YAMATO at the Dead or Alive Steel Cage match, being the third man to be eliminated. In May to the beginning of June Doi participated in the King of Gate at block C with 7 points (3 victories, 1 loss and 1 draw) advancing to the semifinals. Doi would then defeat Shingo Takagi to get into the finals. The following day Doi failed to beat T-Hawk in the finals of the King of Gate. On July 1 Doi, Ben-K and Shimizu lost the Open The Triangle Gate Championship to Takashi Yoshida, El Lindaman and Shingo Takagi. On December 23 at Final Gate Doi, Yoshino and Jason Lee defeated Tribe Vanguard (YAMATO, BxB Hulk and Kzy) to win the Open The Triangle Gate Championship. They lost the titles to Natural Vibes (Kzy, Genki Horiguchi and Susumu Yokosuka) on May 6, 2018 at Dead or Alive. Following the Dead or Alive, Doi took part in the King of Gate, winning his block with a clean record of four wins and zero losses, advancing to the semifinals of the tournament. On July 1, Doi lost to YAMATO in the semifinals of the tournament.

During the King of Gate, Doi started a storyline with MaxiMuM stablemate Big R Shimizu where he Shimizu started blaming Doi for his losses. On July 22 at Kobe Pro-Wrestling Festival, Shimizu apologized Doi for blaming him for his losses, which Doi accepted after being sad of him losing the match. The two challenged BxB Hulk and YAMATO to a title match for the Open the Twin Gate Championship. Leading to the title match Shimizu started weirdly praising Doi following their matches. On August 7, during the title match, Shimizu turned on Doi and joined ANTIAS. Doi MaxiMuM's stablemates Masato Yoshino and Ben-K made the save. The three would ask Hulk and YAMATO for help one time only, which they agreed for agreed to help MaxiMuM out, for one time. General Manager Takayuki Yagi announced that Doi, Yoshino, Ben-K, Hulk and YAMATO were going to face ANTIAS on September 6, leading Ben-K to turn on MaxiMuM and help ANTIAS, joining the stable in the process.

Since January 13, 2019, Dragon Kid began proclaiming himself as the leader of MaxiMuM and started berating the other members of MaxiMuM, after losing their matches. Kid would accuse his stablemates efforts, stating that they only worked hard when there was a prize on the line. His actions started to annoy Doi, leading him to ask Kid to leave MaxiMuM. On March 7, Doi and Kid faced each other in a match. Doi would show signs of a heel turn such as using his former VerserK attire, attack Kid during his entrance and using heel a low blow to win the match. Later that night, Doi was offered by R.E.D's leader Eita to join R.E.D, only for Kid to interrupt and question Doi's tactics. Doi responded that he just joined in the 20th Anniversary fan service by wearing his old VerserK attire. General Manager Takayuki Yagi capitalized on the opportunity and announced the rules for the Steel Cage Survival match at Dead or Alive on May 6, as well multiple tag team matches between members of the respective units to decide, which member would enter in the match. Doi would select Kid as his partner, leading Yoshino to choose Ishida. On March 16, Doi warned Kid that if he retrieved the flag he would kick him out of the stable, while Kid responded that he would keep MaxiMuM all together. On April 10, Doi and Kid defeated Ishida and Yoshino, with Doi pinning Ishida to represent MaxiMuM in the match. Doi blackmailed Kid that if he helped him win the match, he wouldn't kick him out of the stable. Yoshino proposed facing Doi to decide who would represent MaxiMuM in the match, but Doi refused. On May 6 at Dead or Alive, after MaxiMuM helped Doi escape the "Bonds" steel cage survival five-way match, Doi decided that no one would be no one kicked out, forgiving Kid for his actions. Later that month, Doi took part in the 2019 King of Gate, where he finished the tournament with a record of three wins, one draw, and one loss, his draw against Ryo Saito, which cost him a chance to advance to the semifinals of the tournament. On June 9, Doi and Ishida faced Tribe Vanguard (YAMATO and KAI) for the Open The Twin Gate Champions, during the match, Eita and Big R Shimizu, interfered in the match, while also claiming to be the next challengers. Tribe Vanguard and MaxiMuM weren't satisfied with the conclusion of the match and all teams wanted to face each other in a rematch, leading General Manager Takayuki Yagi to make the match official of the event. On July 21, at Kobe Pro-Wrestling Festival, Doi and Ishida failed to capture the Open The Twin Gate Champions YAMATO and KAI, in a match also involving Eita and Shimizu. On November 4 at Gate of Destiny, after Ben-K defeated Doi's stablemate, Yoshino, Doi came to the ring and proclaimed as the next challenger for Ben-K's title, leading the champion to accept the challenge. Three days later, Doi and Yoshino faced Ben-K and Shun Skywalker in a winning effort. On December 15 at Final Gate, Doi defeated Ben-K to win the Open The Dream Gate Championship for his second time, after eleven years.

On August 2, at Memorial Gate in Wakayama, Doi lost the Open The Dream Gate Championship to Eita.

On September 26, Doi, and Ryo Saito joined Ryotsu Shimizu, after he was rejected to join the Dragon Gate Generation and decided to form their own stable with him named "Our Generation", despite Doi and Saito still being part of Toryumon Generation stable. On October 7, it was announced that the stable would be named "Team Boku". On October 17, Doi, Tominaga, and Shimizu defeated the R.E.D trio of (BxB Hulk, Diamante, and Takashi Yoshida), after Shimizu pinned Yoshida. Afterwards, Doi, Tominaga and Shimuzu challenged R.E.D to a title for the Open The Triangle Gate Championship, which was made official by the Dragon Gate General Manager Takayuki Yagi, under the condition that if Team Boku lost, Shimizu would have to abandon the Ryotsu Shimzu gimmick. On November 3, at Gate of Destiny, Doi, Tominaga were defeated by R.E.D (Kazma Sakamoto, Kento Kobune and Takashi Yoshida) for the vacant Open The Triangle Gate Championship, forcing Shimizu to abandon the Ryotsu Shimizu gimmick. On December 20, at Final Gate, Toryumon was forced to disband, after losing to R.E.D in No Disqualification Losing Unit Disbands match. After the match, Doi got injured requiring surgey.

Initially the match ended in a double countout, In a rematch, Doi's team won after KENTo costed R.E.D the match, after powdering KAI's face, before mocking him, for losing the match. As part of his Yoshino's feud with R.E.D, Yoshino requested Eita and and BxB Hulk to team with him and Doi in a match at Dead or Alive, as an experience of teaming with wrestlers, whose match wouldn't be possible, before his retirement. Eita and Hulk accepted under the condition that Doi and Yoshino would be wearing red ring gear, which they accepted. In the match, Eita and Hulk ended up turning on Doi and Yoshino causing them to lose their match. In May, Doi was supposed to take part in the 2021 King of Gate.

On February 4, following a three-way tag team match, Minoura, who found strange Doi not intiving him as usual to form a new team, decided to leave Masquerade and form a new stable with him, aiming to reclaim Dragon Gate's female fan demographic. As part of the target set to the new stable, Doi decided to disband his team with Yoshida, who was not suitable for them, and replace him with Kaito Ishida, who had recently been kicked out of R.E.D. On March 3, the stable was named "Gold Class", with the addition of a gift from Doi to Minoura in the form of a new member Minorita - a repackage of rookie Takumi Hayakawa, meant to be a smaller and lighter version of Minoura.
