Sunday March 8th 1981
Osaka, Osaka Municipal Gymnasium
As with the Makuuchi the Juryo has some personal changes for the Haru. Joining the demoted Banryuyama, Mitsuruyama and Toryu are foure men promoted from the Makushita. They are Oko, Hakuryuyama and Wakanofuji, the latter two won against Juryo opponents in the Hatsu. The men who leave the Juryo are Kagetora, Kinoarashi, Saisu and Taguryu. Finally, Tamakiyama looks to be entering this tournament in his usual form. [NOTE: A special event in the first day of the Hatsu boosted his performance for that event]
With the Hatsu champion Daijuyama and runner-up Iwanami now competing in the Makuuchi, the field is open for another victor. Aobajo is one of the favourites and he starts on on a winning note, but demoted Banryuyama will be disappointed in his start as he lost out to Wakajishi, as will the other two former Makuuchi athletes who took losses.
