Friday January 23rd 1981
Tokyo, Kuramae Kokugikan
While Kitanoumi and Chiyonofuji are battling it out for the top spot, there is a another contest raging for the third through ninth places with Kurama and Kotokaze on 10-3, and a further five men with a 9-4 record. The surprises of the day came from Mitsuruyama defeating Oshio in a match of good length, and Kurosegawa prevented Takamiyama from having a realistic chance of finishing in the top five.
It would be a mixed day for Kaiki. He beat Washuyama without much fuss, but later in the day reports circulated about a small injury he picked up in the match. He is able to continue through the final two days in Tokyo, but his movement will be slightly restricted with a lower body injury.
