Multiple wrestlers have used the name Black Tiger. The identity is owned by New Japan Pro Wrestling, so all wrestlers take up the name and the mask at NJPW's prompting. In Japan, they're natural evil rivals to Tiger Mask, another shared identity.
- Black Tiger I was British wrestler Marc Rocco
- Black Tiger II was Eddie Guerrero, who did not wrestle under the name in Mexico
- Black Tiger III was Silver King, who did extensively wrestle as Black Tiger in Mexico from 2001 until he lost his mask to LA Park in 2006.
- Black Tiger IV was Rocky Romero, who did not wrestle under the name in Mexico.
- Black Tiger V debuted in February 2009 for NJPW at a Tokyo Dome show. The man under the guise is unknown although Rocky Romero and Tatsuhito Takaiwa are rumored to be the new Black Tiger. Takaiwa has yet to wrestle in Mexico.
- Black Tiger (Puebla) uses the name in Puebla, including CMLL shows at Arena Puebla, but never was a part of NJPW. It's unclear if his use of the name is inspired by the use elsewhere, or is just a coincidence. While Black Tiger III was active in CMLL, the promotion requested this wrestler change his name and he wrestled under The Tiger. After Black Tiger III left CMLL, this Tiger returned to the Black Tiger name.
- Black Tigers was Jeremy Lopez whom was used as Tigers Mask foil in Osaka Pro Wrestling similar to Black Tiger being Tiger Mask's foil in NJPW. He does not use the gimmick currently
