The King of Dark Championship (Japanese: キング・オブ・ダーク王座, Hepburn: Kingu obu Dāku Ōza?) was a professional wrestling championship created by Amon Tsurumi. The champion was forced to wrestle exclusively in dark matches on DDT shows. Contrary to regular professional wrestling championships, the title was not rewarded to the winner of the match, but was given to the loser instead.[2][3][4]
