, is a Japanese professional wrestling promotion founded in 2013 as a sister promotion of DDT Pro-Wrestling (DDT).

It was then considered a sister promotion to DDT, Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling and Pro Wrestling Noah, until 2024 when GanPro became independent.
Ganbare☆Pro-Wrestling (GanPro) was created in 2013 by Ken Ohka as a brand of DDT Pro-Wrestling. The brand was created to capture the spirit of small independent promotions in Japan and, to do so, regularly brought in wrestlers from outside the promotion. In July 2020, DDT and Pro Wrestling Noah merged to form CyberFight.[1] [2] In September 2021, GanPro revived the Ganbare☆Climax and created the Spirit of Ganbare World Openweight Championship as a prize for the winner of the tournament.[3]
On December 15, 2023, GanPro was announced as one of the founding members of the United Japan Pro-Wrestling alliance, a joint effort to further develop professional wrestling in Japan through promotion and organization, with Seiji Sakaguchi being named as the chairman of the project.[4]
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.[5] The split was made official on March 31, with Shota, Yoshiko Hasegawa and Riara leaving the promotion to become freelancers.
