Gateball was invented in Japan by Suzuki Kazunobu in 1947. At the time there was a severe shortage of rubber needed to make the balls used in many sports. Suzuki, then working in the lumber industry on the northern island of Hokkaido, realised there was a ready supply of the wood used to make croquet balls and mallets. He revised the rules of croquet and created gateball as a game for young people.
1947年日本铃木荣治先生发明了门球。当时的日本用在体育方面做球的橡胶材料十分匮乏,而铃木先生当时就在北海道林业部门工作,他看到大量现成的木材正是用来做槌球的棒和小球。所以他就修改了槌球的规则并创造出了年轻人玩的一种游戏“门球”。(用木材代替橡胶材料制作门球器材这又是铃木先生的发明。约翰王注)
Gateball first became popular in the late 1950s when a physical education instructor introduced gateball to the women’s societies and senior citizens’ clubs of Kumamoto City. In 1962, the Kumamoto Gateball Association was formed and established a local set of rules. This version of the game became known nationally when it was demonstrated at a national fitness meet in Kumamoto in 1976. Shortly afterwards the gateball’s popularity exploded as local government officials and representatives of senior citizens’ organisations introduced the sport around the country.
门球首次开设流行是在五十年代末,当时一位健身教练把门球介绍给了妇女社区和Kumamoto 市的老年俱乐部。1962年里,Kumanoto 门球协会成立并建立了一套门球竞赛规则。该套门球规则因在1976年Kumamoto 市举办的全国健身大会上进行门球表演赛时使用而变得家喻户晓。自此以后,门球大名就作为政府机构和老年群体推广的体育项目传遍全国。
In 1984, the Japanese Gateball Union (JGU) was founded. Under the leadership of its inaugural chairman, Ryoichi Sasakawa, the JGU developed a unified set of rules and organised the first national meet. The following year, the JGU joined with five countries and regions, China, Korea, Brazil, United States of America and Chinese Taipei, to form the World Gateball Union (WGU). The WGU has since been joined by Bolivia (1987), Paraguay (1987), Peru (1987), Argentina (1989), Canada (1989), Singapore (1994), Hong Kong (1998), Australia (2003) and Macao (2005).
1984年,日本门球联合会成立。在联合会创始人笹川良一领导下,日本门联制定出了一套统一的门球竞赛规则和组织了第一次全国门球比赛。第二年日本和其他五个国家和地区---中国,韩国,巴西,美国和中华台北共同成立了“世界门球联盟”(WGU)。此后相继加入WGU的国家分别是:玻利维亚(1987);巴拉圭(1987);秘鲁(1987);阿根廷(1989);加拿大(1989);新加坡(1994);香港(1998);澳大利亚(2003)和澳门(2005)。

1. 亚洲17个国家和地区:中国,日本,韩国,香港,澳门,台湾,泰国,马来西亚,印度,尼泊尔,印度尼西亚,新加坡,菲律宾,巴基斯坦,越南,蒙古和耶路撒冷地区;
