Sunday May 10th 1981
Tokyo, Kuramae Kokugikan
With the retirees during the Haru, and the injury to Kaiki that will keep him out of action for another month, there is room for three additions to the Makuuchi with Hidanohana demoted to the second division. The Juryo champion Kotetsuyama is joined by Kotochitose and Toryu; the latter making his return to the top level.
The three newcomers make winning starts in matches they were all favoured to win, while the usual suspects also got off on the right foot. Amanoyama upset Takamiyama in a tight contest that lasted almost two minutes, and Iwanami made short work of another favourite, Wakashimazu, in his first day bout.
