'''Ikkitsuukan''' {{kana|一気通貫}}, or '''ittsuu''' {{kana|一通}} for short, is a [[List of yaku|yaku]], defined as three distinct [[mentsu|tile groups]] containing 123, 456, 789 of one suit. Collectively, the three groups form a complete single suit straight of 1 through 9. Naturally, in English terms, this hand can also be noted as a "straight", similar to the poker hand of the same name. This hand may be played open or closed.  When open, the hand [[Kuisagari|loses value]] of one han.

Having all the tiles from 1-9 in one suit is not sufficient to compose this yaku - they must form as sequences of 123, 456, 789.

[[Sanshoku]] is worth the same (2 han) and has a similar requirement (3 identical sequences). However, sanshoku occurs more than twice as often as ittsu. This is likely because ittsu's 123 and 789 sequences are harder to form than other sequences.
