This is something I’ve noticed blowing up on the Japanese social media scene over the last day, an interesting announcement from Dragon Gate. Below is a loose English translation:
“Dear Relatives and Fans
We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support of DRAGONGATE’s activities.
Now, we have learned that a former player of DRAGONGATE has sent out information containing a lot of untrue content, as if he had been involved in serious illegal acts in the past. Naturally, there is no fact that our company or its related parties were involved in such serious illegal acts, and we believe that such unfounded information was unilaterally carried out and is considered to be an unacceptable act.
We have already delegated the handling of this case to a lawyer, and we intend to consider strict measures for defamation and discredit acts such as this case, with a view to legal action. In addition, we will continue to position compliance as the most important item and will work on the development of DRAGONGATE. I sincerely ask that you do not easily trust or spread false information.
We sincerely apologize for causing you concern. We look forward to your continued support for DRAGONGATE’s activities.
March 16, 2026 DRGONGATE Co., Ltd”
The socials are speculating on two names in particular here-CIMA and Tokyo Magnum, both formerly of Dragon Gate. Translation of various social media reports (which are unofficial and not affiliated with the promotion suggest DG is considering legal action but this does not affect or involve anyone on the current roster. Anyway, pass the salt and let’s see what happens.
More as it becomes available. A link to the original announcement is below:
