This is the first gate which was built in 1112 AD.  Its foundation was laid by Sarki Giji Masu.  It was named after the first son of Kano (after whom the city was named) called Damina, popularly known as Kansakali, who happened to be a blacksmith.  The gate is located at Tudun Yola quarters in Ungogo Local Government Area.
