The Osaka Tag Team Championship (大阪タッグ王座, Ōsaka taggu ōza) is the top tag team title in the Japanese professional wrestling promotion Osaka Pro Wrestling. The title was established in 2001 when Daio Quallt and Gamma won a seven-team round-robin tournament to win the inaugural titles.
Being a professional wrestling championship, it is not won via direct competition; it is instead won via a predetermined ending to a match or awarded to a wrestler because of a wrestling angle. There have been forty-three reigns by thirty-six teams among thirty-seven individual wrestlers. The current champions are Takoyakida and Ultimate Spider Jr., who are in their second reign as a team.[1][2]
