TheD-Oh Grand Prix (Japanese:D王 GRAND PRIX,Hepburn:Dī Ō Guran Puri) is an annualprofessional wrestling tournament hosted by theDDT Pro-Wrestling (DDT) promotion. Though DDT also runs the annualKing of DDT Tournament, the D-Oh Grand Prix is different in that it isround-robin, whereas the King of DDT is asingle-elimination tournament. Like the King of DDT however, the winner of the tournament receives a shot at theKO-D Openweight Championship.
The tournament was created by DDT producerDanshoku Dino in August 2017 and later confirmed in November.
After the first edition was held in January 2018, the second edition had to be held in December 2018 while retaining the name "D-Oh Grand Prix 2019".[1] This offset between the tournament title and the year it was actually held persisted until 2021 where the tournament (held between November and December 2021) was entitled "D-Oh Grand Prix 2021 II".
Shuji Ishikawa is the inaugural winner of the tournament;Konosuke Takeshita is the only two-time winner.
