This was right when Dragon Gate started in 2004. Knowing Japanese casual fans, Dragon Gate were seen as a fresher alternative to AJPW. AJPW 2004 was something like WCW 2001 and Dragon Gate like prime ECW Hardcore TV. AJPW's problem was ownership changing, bizzare creative, politicking, excessive part-timer use (Misawa & Kawada) and the biggest one Dr. Death getting sick. The TV network Gaora started airing Dragon Gate more often than AJPW and used this anime intro to make things interesting.

When a wrestling intro bops more than a true anime intro
I’ve coming to this video on and off for the past few years & it wasn’t till today I realized that this was uploaded by the legend CHIKARA FAN DAN. Thank you for your service on Indy wrestling for the past two decades 🫡

I don't think I can name everyone, but I can get it started and maybe someone can fill in and correct any I get wrong,. 1. CIMA 2. Dragon Kid 3. ??? (guy with shades when it zooms out of Dragon Kid) 4. ??? (guy with mask and tribal tats on back) 5. Milano Collection AT (on the left, CIMA again on the right) 6. Magnum TOKYO 7. ??? (blond guy left of Dragon Kid) 8. Masato Yoshino (long hair guy right of Dragon Kid) 9. Super Shisa 10 & 11. (guys with the American gimmick, feel familiar but can't name 'em) 12. "Hollywood" Stalker Ichikawa (stomped on by #4 and CIMA in the second shot) 13. Kagetora (?, in the background with Magnum) 14. Genki Horiguchi 15. ??? (guy with baseball bat) 16. Don Fujii 17. ??? (guy spitting water) 18. Naoki Tanizaki 19. "brother" YASSHI 20. Anthony W. Mori 21. ??? (guy furthest on the left) 22. ??? (guy second from the left) 23. Toru Owashi (guy in front) 24. Shuji Kondo (the rightmost guy) 25. Masaaki Mochizuki And I THINK that's everyone. The guy rising through the ground is I think an authority figure?

When did they use this as their intro?

It was 2004 during Dragon Gate's early days, based on the logo in the top-right corner & my memory. CIMA, Tokyo Magnum and those Italian guys (in the anime intro) were getting a strong push in the Japanese indies (in particular Toryumon) in early 2000s after WCW misused them, and in Dragon Gate they were the top guys. Gaora TV started airing Dragon Gate when AJPW started declining fast because of Mrs. Baba selling the company in early 2003 & Dr. Death getting extremely sick the same month Dragon Gate started (July 2004). Dr. Death getting sick was a huge loss for the Japanese networks, so Gaora TV channel wanted to change things up and they gave Dragon Gate a chance. When they stopped using the anime intro, I'm not sure.
