The first game of 12th Ladies Ouza Title Series 5 game Series where Momoko Katou Ladies 3-dan was challenging Satomi Ouza was held at Hotel Chinzansou in Tokyo on October 26th.
This was the second time this year that both players have played in Title Series since July and August.
Katou Ladies 3-dan lost to Satomi Ladies 4 crowns(at that time) and lost Seirei Title.
She wanted to take revenge. If he gets Title this time, she will win Ladies Ouza title for the fifth time and become the second Queen ouza. On the other hand, Satomi Ladies Ouza got Hakurei Title from Nishiyama Hakurei (at that time) and became 6 Ladies crowns.
