Golden☆Lovers is a professional wrestling tag team composed of Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi. The team first formed in 2008 in the independent wrestling promotion Dramatic Dream Team and have also competed together in New Japan Pro-Wrestling.


"Trope☆Lovers":

  • Ambiguously Gay: Subverted as the two are an Official Couple at least in their Dramatic Dream Team iteration.
  • Big Damn Reunion: At The New Beginning in Sapporo in January 2018. And on AEW Dynamite: Blood & Guts on July 19, 2023, though this time they teamed with The Young Bucks and Adam Page as the Golden Elite in a "Blood and Guts" 10-man tag against the Blackpool Combat Club, Konosuke Takeshita, and Pac.
  • Combination Attack:
    • The "Golden Shower", a simultaneous 450 splash off the same turnbuckle.
    • The "Cross Slash", a dual "Golden Triangle Moonsault" with the two starting in adjacent corners of the ring and crossing paths in the center.
    • The "Golden Trigger", a combination of Kenny's "V-Trigger" and Kota's "Kamigoye" where they both hold one of their opponent's hands and hit him with simultaneous knee strikes that they began using after their reunion.
