Saturday March 14th 1981
Osaka, Osaka Municipal Gymnasium
Aobajo lost again to a Makuuchi opponent, but Daihi also dropped a consecutive result. Hachiya was the other man who could win his sixth match but a strong performance from Kotetsuyama leaves seven men all tied on 5-2. The man on song at the moment is Mitsuruyama who has won five in a row with today's contest against Wakajishi a real tough battle.
The biggest surprise of the day was how good the competition was between Kotonofuji and Yutakayama as they refused to give in for several minutes before the former won his first match of the basho.
