Dragon Gate USA (2009–2012) On Enter the Dragon, Dragon Gate USA's first ever pay-per-view which first aired on September 4, 2009, Yamato defeated BxB Hulk in the opener. On the very same show, Yamato cemented his villainous status when he and Gran Akuma engaged in a post-match attack on Mike Quackenbush and Jigsaw, starting a feud with the Chikara wrestlers. This led to Yamato and Akuma facing Quackenbush and Jigsaw in a losing effort at Untouchable. At Freedom Fight, Yamato entered the tournament to crown the first Open the Freedom Gate Champion. He defeated Davey Richards to qualify for the four-way elimination match tournament finals against Hulk, Akuma and Cima, but Hulk gained revenge when by last eliminated Yamato to become champion. At Fearless, Yamato teamed with Shingo Takagi in an elimination match against Naruki Doi and Masato Yoshino and The Young Bucks. The duo would survive seeing the Bucks eliminated but fell to Doi and Yoshino in defeat. After the conclusion of Fearless' main-event, Yamato ran out with Takagi, Akuma and Richards to beat down both Hulk and Dragon Kid, but the attackers were thwarted by the Chikara wrestlers. At Mercury Rising, Yamato successfully defended his newly won Open the Dream Gate championship against Susumu Yokosuka in his first defense, while forming the Kamikaze USA stable with Takagi and Jon Moxley. At Uprising, Akira Tozawa and Gran Akuma were added to the Kamikaze USA stable, while Yamato teamed again with Takagi to defeat the team of Cima and Dragon Kid. Kamikaze USA would also attack Quackenbush, Jigsaw, Yoshino and Hulk after their matches, leading to Quackenbush challenging Yamato to a match between Kamikaze USA and the Chikara wrestlers. The match took place at Enter The Dragon 2010, which saw Yamato, Tozawa, Moxley and Akuma, representing Kamikaze USA, being defeated by Yoshino, Quackenbush, Jigsaw and Hallowicked, ending the feud between Kamikaze USA and the Chikara wrestlers. At Untouchable 2010, Yamato was defeated by WWE wrestler Bryan Danielson.

At United: NYC in January 2011, Yamato defeated nemesis BxB Hulk to win the Open the Freedom Gate Championship. At Mercury Rising 2011, Austin Aries challenged Yamato for his title by putting his own career on the line. Yamato defeated Aries, who would later renege on his promise to leave the company. At Open the United Gate 2011, Yamato defeated his former Kamikaze USA stable-mate Akira Tozawa to retain his title. By June, Yamato had joined the Junction Three stable in Japan to feud with heels Blood Warriors after the dissolution of Kamikaze and its American version, Kamikaze USA, which cemented Yamato's face status. At Fearless 2011, Yamato would join forces with Tozawa to challenge for the Open the United Gate Championship from tag team champions (and Junction Three stable-mates) Masato Yoshino and Pac, but Pac pinned Tozawa to ensure the champions retained their titles. At Enter the Dragon 2011, Yamato defeated his stable-mate Pac to retain his Open the Freedom Gate championship in his fourth successful defense. (Yamato's third successful defense of his title was against Yasushi Kanda in Japan in April 2011) At Untouchable 2011, Cima, Yamato's longtime rival and the leader of the Blood Warriors' stable, challenged Yamato for his Open the Freedom Gate championship based on Cima's pin on Yamato in a fatal-four-way non-title match earlier that year at Uprising 2011. Yamato managed to beat Cima in his fifth successful defense of his title. At Revolt!, Yamato defeated BxB Hulk, who was now a Blood Warriors member, in DGUSA's first no-rope no-DQ match, which was also a non-title match. At Bushido 2011, Yamato equalled BxB Hulk's number of successful title defenses with six by defeating Chuck Taylor of Ronin. At Freedom Fight 2011 in November, Yamato lost the Open the Freedom Gate Championship to Johnny Gargano of Ronin. After Freedom Fight 2011, Yamato took an eight month hiatus from Dragon Gate USA. He returned to the promotion in July 2012, for two shows, the annual Untouchable and Enter the Dragon events. In his return match at Untouchable, Yamato defeated Ricochet. The following night at Enter the Dragon, Yamato was defeated in a surprise upset by Jon Davis. This was Yamato's final match with the promotion.
