Friday March 13th 1981
Osaka, Osaka Municipal Gymnasium
After two days without any involvement, the Juryo division were represented by three men who all lost out, including Aobajo for his first defeat of the Haru basho. The first losses for Makuuchi athletes were suffered by Kotokaze in a very tight contest against Wakashimazu, and Takamiyama against another 5-1 man, Sadanoumi.
The most entertaining matches came from the lower half of the rankings. Fujizakura won his second contest in three by beating Kurama, and Tochiakagi, who has taken three of the last four, beat out Ozutsu. There was a slight injury to report that leaves Kurosegawa fifty-fifty for tomorrow but he is certain to return to action soon.

YOBIDASHI
Decked out in an outfit resembling an old-style workman's uniform, the announcer is a man of many talents. As well as calling out the men for competition, he will also clean up the dohyo (ring), hold advertising banners for sponsered matches, and even play drums outside of the arena to draw attention to the event.
