-'''Karaten''' {{kana|カラテン}}, or '''empty tenpai''', is a [[tenpai]] hand that cannot win because all possible winning tiles are [[Kabe#Visible Tiles|visible]] (and thus unavailable). "Visible" tiles include tiles discarded, used as a dora indicator, in an opponent's [[tile call]], and tiles already in the hand. While a tile may be unavailable if in an opponents hand, or in the [[dead wall]], these would be unknown to the player.

"Visible" tiles include tiles discarded, used as a dora indicator, in an opponent's [[tile call]], and tiles already in the hand. Tiles in other players' hands or in the dead wall do not count, since they would be unknown to the tenpai player.
 In most rulesets, karaten hands are considered tenpai for the purpose of [[ryuukyoku]], except if all four copies of the winning tile are in the player's own hand.
