KUNOICHI 1999 was the first KUNOICHI tournament ever held. It was aired on Kinniku Banzuke on October 30, 1999 as a new event.
Summary
The course proved to be massively different from the prototype version. While still focused on housework, the theme was toned down in favor of more conventional obstacles.
This tournament featured nine obstacles on a one-stage course designed to test female strength, speed, and balance, split apart by a Break Zone, with each section having their own time limits; the first half had to be completed within 60 seconds, and the second half within 40, making for a 100-second time limit in total.
While it was hoped that results would be good, the course proved to be too lethal, and the time limit impossible to deal with. The Dakitsuki Slider eliminated almost every competitor who attempted it while the Futon Beater ate up too much time for those few remaining competitors. None of the competitors in this tournament were able to reach the break zone, ending the tournament on a rather brutal note.
