**Naruki Doi and Takashi Yoshida**, also referred as **DoiYoshi** (土井吉, *Doi Yoshi*) or sometimes, informally known as **DoiYoshi 2.0** (土井吉2.0, *Doi Yoshi 2.0*) was a professional wrestling tag team formed in December 2021 by Naruki Doi and Takashi Yoshida, whom performed primarily for Dragon Gate (DG). It formed on November 5, 2021, shortly after Masato Yoshino retired on August 1, 2021 at Speed Star Final.

The team initially did not achieve much success, as Doi and Yoshida (formerly known as Cyber Kong) initially focused on their respective singles careers or with other tag team partners, Doi and Yoshida each had several matches either with or against each other during their careers before the team quickly founding success and winning the Open The Twin Gate Championship in November 2021 before losing them a month later. Doi and Yoshida began distancing themselves until February 4, Doi decided to disband the team after claiming that Yoshida was not useful for them due to being a "Heavy Macho" and afterwards, decided to form a unit with Kota Minoura and Kaito Ishida, with the aim of reclaiming Dragon Gate's female fan demographic.

The team name consisted of Doi and Yoshida's surnames respectively, with the DoiYoshi coming from Doi and Yoshi from Yoshida, as a tribute to the original DoiYoshi team, with Yoshida taking the place of the retired Masato Yoshino.

## Background

In 2006, Naruki Doi and Masato Yoshino debuted as a tag team that would later be named "DoiYoshi" (sometimes referred to as "Speed Muscle"). The two split up in 2010 and began a long-standing rivalry against each other. During those years, Takashi Yoshida, then known as Cyber Kong mainly began teaming with YAMATO and Shingo Takagi. Shortly after Blood Warriors disbanded, Doi turned face and began teaming with Yoshino while Kong remained as a heel before turning face in December 2012 to join -akatsuki-. Doi and Kong began distancing from their partners before turning heel at the beginning of the fall of 2013 and rejoined the Mad Blankey unit, even though Doi began teaming primarily with YAMATO. The two would continue in the VerserK until Doi turned face in the fall of 2016, after VerserK turned on him. On the other hand, Yoshida turned face in the beginning of 2021 after R.E.D turned on him.

Doi and Yoshida at the time began teaming primarily with different partners, Yoshida teaming Masaaki Mochizuki and Doi with Yoshino before the later retired on August 1, 2021 at Speed Star Final. At the event, Doi stated that he was not going to give up on DoiYoshi so he sarcastically pitched the idea of continiung the team with Takashi Yoshida. During this time, Doi and Kong (later Takashi Yoshida), each had several matches either with or against each other during their respective careers.

## History

On November 5, Naruki Doi and Takashi Yoshida defeated Natural Vibes (King Shimizu and Jacky "Funky" Kamei) and Masaaki Mochizuki and Shuji Kondo in a three-way tag team match, with Yoshida pinning Shimizu. Afterwards, Doi and Yoshida decided to form a new version of DoiYoshi, and challenging Shimizu and a Natural Vibes stablemate that was yet to be determined at that point to a title match for the Open The Twin Gate Championship. On November 27, at Gate of Origin, Doi and Yoshida defeated King Shimizu and Susumu Yokosuka to win the Open The Twin Gate Championship. On December 11, H.Y.O and SB KENTo defeated Doi and Yoshida in a non-title match. Afterwards, H.Y.O and KENTo challenged Doi and Yoshida to a title match for the Open The Twin Gate Championship at Final Gate, with KENTo having the ambition to be a double champion, which they accepted, setting up the title match. On December 26 at Final Gate, Doi and Yoshida lost the Open The Twin Gate Championship to the team of R.E.D composed by H.Y.O and KENTo.

Afterwards, during rivalry between Shun Skywalker and Kota Minoura, Doi and Yoshida began persuading Minoura to form a stable with Minoura being focused as the centerpiece of the later, but he misunderstood Doi's request and instead continued to carry Masquerade. On February 4, following a three-way tag team match, Minoura, who found strange Doi not inviting 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. To further fulfill Doi's vision, he decided to disband his team with Yoshida and any other affiliation with him, replacing him with the incoming Kaito Ishida, who had recently been kicked out of R.E.D.
