List of DDT Pro-Wrestling personnel

DDT Pro-Wrestling is a Japanese professional wrestling promotion based in Shinjuku, Tokyo, and part of the CyberFight umbrella promotion. DDT personnel consists of professional wrestlers, ring announcers, referees, trainers, and various other positions.

## Background

[edit]

DDT contracts typically range from developmental deals for dojo trainees to full-time contracts. The promotion also features regulars working as freelancers. Personnel appear on untelevised live events and on televised events which are aired on various broadcasters or on CyberFight's own international streaming service, Wrestle Universe.

Personnel is organized below by their role in DDT Pro-Wrestling. The performer's ring name is listed on the left and their real name is on the right. This list also acknowledges which stable (referred to by DDT as "units") a wrestler is a part of – this is listed as it is considered by DDT to be a vital part of their product. "(L)" also indicates the leader of the group when one is designated.

As of 2025[update], there are eight central units in DDT:

* Main Unit[a]
* Damnation T.A.
* Harimau[b]
* NωA Jr. (New Wrestling Aidol Jr.)
* Schadenfreude International
* Strange Love Connection
* The37Kamiina[c]
* The Apex

In addition to the promotion's eight central units, D·O·A (Dead Or Alive) is also regarded as a unit, with a less official status.[1]

As DDT has working relationships with All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and numerous other Japanese promotions, wrestlers from these promotions may appear on DDT events and have their home promotions or stables from their home promotions listed as their affiliated unit.
