Monday March 9th 1981
Osaka, Osaka Municipal Gymnasium
Wakashimazu pulled off an upset in a very close match against Masuiyama. The contest lasted a couple of minutes with close calls for both men before the victor pulled off a successful yorikiri. Six wrestlers lost their first match today, including the highly ranked Wajima who lost to fellow high-flyer Kotokaze.

HEYA
All professional sumo wrestlers must be part of a stable where they train and even live. Wrestlers stay with the same heya for the length of their career, although if the scout that discovered him moves to a new stable then the wrestler may follow him. Scouts operate as in any other sport, watching youngsters compete and signing them on out of school.
