The is a professional wrestling tag team championship owned by the Pro-Wrestling Basara promotion,[1] a former DDT Pro-Wrestling sub-brand before it became an independent promotion on January 1, 2020.[2]
Like most professional wrestling championships, the title is won as a result of a scripted match. The current title holders are Astronauts (Fuminori Abe and Takuya Nomura).
On October 4, 2019, DDT announced that the third edition of the Basara branded Iron Fist Tag Tournament would crown the first Iron Fist Tag Team Champions.[3] The finals of the tournament took place on October 23, 2019, and saw Iron Priest (Fuma and Yusuke Kubo) defeat Sento Minzoku (Daiki Shimomura and Isami Kodaka) to become the inaugural champions.
Aijin Tag (Masato Kamino and Takato Nakano) were scheduled to defend the title against Trans-Am★Hiroshi and Antonio Honda at Basara 218 on May 13, 2023; however, Kamino was pulled from the event as he had suffered a knee injury on May 8.[4] Hiroshi and Honda instead faced Sento Minzoku (Daiki Shimomura and Minoru Fujita) to determine interim champions.[5] Sento Minzoku were victorious and served as interim champions until Basara 225 on July 23, where they defeated the lineal champions to determine the undisputed champions.[6]
On October 20, 2023, Daiki Shimomura was suspended for a year due to inappropriate conduct.[7] As a result, on the next day, the championship was vacated and the team of Shimomura and Minoru Fujita withdrawn from the Iron Fist Tag Tournament.[8] Basara then announced that the winners of the tournament would become the new champions. Harimau (Ryota Nakatsu and Kazusada Higuchi) were eventually victorious, defeating Takumi Tsukamoto and Sagat in the finals.[9]
As of,, there have been 12 reigns shared among eight different teams consisting of 15 distinctive wrestlers, plus an interim reign, and one vacancy. The current champions are Astronauts (Fuminori Abe and Takuya Nomura) who are in their second reign both as a team and individually. They won the title by defeating Harimau (Ryota Nakatsu and Kazusada Higuchi) on June 21, 2024.
