Miyagi Nomuro Yanpeng competed in the third of the Nishi Juryō at this place. He had lost nine consecutive matches from the first day, and after an examination at a hospital in Tokyo on the 3rd, he was diagnosed with a herniated disc in his neck that required about three months of treatment.
The 23 Chiyo no Kuni were also closed from the 3 third due to injuries to both knees. Tenkukai, which was scheduled to play on the 23rd, received a bye.
