Fujii Gokan, who started first, took advantage of the situation by increasing his number of pieces while calmly receiving the opponent's attacks.
Then, at 6:52 pm, Sato 9-dan conceded with 81 moves.
Fujii won the five crowns and won the right to challenge the "Kiosen".
The "Kioh Battle" will be the fifth game, and will start in February next year.
