CyberFight Co., Ltd. (Japanese:株式会社CyberFight,Hepburn:Kabushiki gaisha Saibāfaito), operating simply asCyberFight (CF), is a Japaneseprofessional wrestlingparent company based inTokyo. It is a subsidiary of theCyberAgent digital advertising company. CyberFight serves as anumbrella brand for three promotions:Pro Wrestling Noah,DDT Pro-Wrestling andTokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling.
In April 1997, following the success of the firstJudgement event held on March 25,Sanshiro Takagi,Mikami andNosawa Rongai left thePro Wrestling Crusaderspromotion to start their own promotion calledDramatic Dream Team with Takagi andShoichi Ichimiya as owners. In June 2000, the promotion was incorporated asDramatic Dream Team, Co., Ltd. (有限会社ドラマチック・ドリーム・チーム,Yūgen gaisha Doramachikku Dorīmu Chīmu) andKoichiro Kimura was appointed director. In 2003, Ichimiya was appointedrepresentative director. In April 2004, the company changed its name toDDT Pro-Wrestling, Co., Ltd. (有限会社DDTプロレスリング,Yūgen gaisha Dī Dī Tī Puroresuringu). On December 28, 2005, Ichimiya announced his retirement from professional wrestling and stepped down from his position in the company, leaving Takagi as the sole owner and new president. In 2009, DDT changed its legal form of incorporation to akabushiki gaisha.
On January 31, 1999,All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) founderGiant Baba died and left the company to his widow Motoko Baba as owner andMitsuharu Misawa as president. Disagreements over the proposed direction for the company led Misawa to leave AJPW on May 28, 2000, to form a new promotion calledPro Wrestling Noah. He was followed in this venture by almost the entire AJPW roster. The promotion quickly rose in popularity and was even named best promotion in 2004 and 2005, as well as having the best weekly television show in 2003 by theWrestling Observer.
On June 13, 2009, after taking abelly to back suplex fromAkitoshi Saito, Misawa lost consciousness in the ring and was taken to a hospital. He was pronounced dead in the hospital later that day due to spinal damage.[4] Two weeks later,Akira Taue was named as Misawa's successor, taking over as president of Noah.
In March 2012, a scandal revealed that some of the Noah management had had ties to aYakuza syndicate between 2003 and 2010. As part of the fallout, Noah lost its TV show. In the years that followed, many major stars such asKenta Kobashi,Kenta andJun Akiyama left the company.
On October 1, 2016, it was announced that Noah had been purchased by IT company Estbee, Co., Ltd. As a result, former AJPW president Masayuki Uchida replaced Taue as president.[5] On November 7, Estbee changed its legal name to Noah Global Entertainment, Inc. (ノア・グローバルエンタテインメント株式会社,Noa Gurōbaru Entateinmento Kabushiki gaisha). At the end of 2016, relations between Noah andNew Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) reportedly turned "extremely sour" and NJPW pulled all of its wrestlers from Noah. In the months following the end of the relationship, Noah's attendance numbers went down by 29%.[6] On January 29, 2019, Uchida announced that Lidet Entertainment had acquired 75% of Noah's shares.[7]
On September 1, 2017, 100% of DDT's shares were sold to theCyberAgent company. Sanshiro Takagi remained as the DDT president. On January 28, 2020, it was announced that CyberAgent had purchased Pro Wrestling Noah from Lidet Entertainment.[8] On July 27, 2020, it was announced that Noah, DDT Pro-Wrestling and the DDT Foods company would merge in a new company that would eventually be calledCyberFight.[9][3] The decision came after financial troubles faced by Noah and DDT due in part to theCOVID-19 pandemic. Sanshiro Takagi was named as president of the promotion and he established a plan of running events at theTokyo Dome and overtaking NJPW in popularity.[10] It was also revealed that the Noah and DDT brands would not be retired and would maintain their unique and current brand names, logos, etc. and would act as two separate brands within CyberFight, as well as theTokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling (TJPW) andGanbare☆Pro-Wrestling (GanPro) brands, originally created and operated by DDT.[11]
On June 6, 2021, CyberFight held its first event promoted under the CyberFight name,CyberFight Festival 2021, at theSaitama Super Arena.[12]
On December 15, 2023, the four brands of CyberFight were announced as founding members of theUnited Japan Pro-Wrestling alliance, a joint effort to further develop professional wrestling in Japan through promotion and organization, withSeiji Sakaguchi being named as the chairman of the project.[13]
On January 31, 2024, a press conference was held to announce GanPro would become independent from CyberFight at the end of March, with the final GanPro event under the CyberFight umbrella to be held on March 28.[14]
On May 16, 2024, it was announced that Takagi would be stepping down as president of CyberFight to assume the position ofexecutive vice president on June 1, and Yasuo Okamoto was named the new president.[15]

The only company down is Noah, which is down 29 percent after losing its affiliation with New Japan and losing Suzuki-gun as the regular top heels. For as much as the Noah fans hated Suzuki-gun and blamed them for the bad business, and they didn't pick business up the way hoped for, Noah has fallen significantly without them.
