Monday January 12th 1981
Tokyo, Kuramae Kokugikan
Note: On the first day Tamakiyama won thanks to a roll of 66, meeting the conditions and causing the upset to beat Onishiki. As a result his overall rating improves by twenty, his letter grade used in matches also receives an upgrade, and he could enjoy a career best tournament.
The pick of today's action, across all divisions, was Kotowaka's victory over Daio. Evenly matched on paper and in the ring, Kotowaka certainly earned his place among the eight undefeated Juryo wrestlers as the long-running match see-sawed throughout before Daio was pulled down hard to the floor.
