'''ittsu''', or '''ikkitsukan''', is one of the standard [[List of yaku|yaku]]. This hand consists of three melds in one suit of 1 through 9, any available extra meld, and any pair. This hand may be open or closed.

'''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.

==Formation==
While the hand shows a complete 1-9 grouping from a particular suit, it is best to view the long cluster as three separate groups of: 123, 456, and 789.
 
===Counter example===
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.
 
{{#mjt:12344m56p}} {{#mjt:5'677'89m}} Waiting for: {{#mjt:4p}} or {{#mjt:7p}}
 
In this counter example, the tiles 1-9 for one suit are in the hand, but ittsuu would not be counted.  Instead, they are grouped as 123, 567, and 789, with 4-man functioning as the [[Jantou|pair]].
 
==Discard characteristics==
Hands aiming for ittsu often lack a particular suit, as a good number of one suit is collected in the hand.
 
== Compatibility ==
{{main|Yaku compatibility}}
 
{{Yaku compatibility table|ITT}}
 
This yaku only leaves room for one tile group of any type, such as a triplet. Therefore, any yaku that requires more than one triplet, including [[sanshoku doukou]], [[toitoi]], [[sanankou]], [[sankantsu]], and [[shousangen]], is deemed incompatible. [[Chiitoitsu]] is likewise incompatible as it does not use [[mentsu]]. [[Tanyao]], [[chanta]], [[junchan]], and [[honroutou]] are incompatible as the 456 group contains no terminals or honours, but the 123 and 789 groups contain terminals. Finally, ittsuu is incompatible with [[sanshoku doujun]] and [[ryanpeikou]] as they each require at least three sequences in a way that are incompatible with the sequences used for ittsuu.
 
=== With sanshoku ===
{{main|Ittsu vs sanshoku}}
Ittsuu requires three out of the four tile groups to be composed of sequences: 123, 456, and 789.  Sanshoku also requires at least three groups of sequences.  Sometimes, a hand may be 1-shanten from either yaku because of composition.  There comes a point where a player may need to choose one yaku over the other, depending on the circumstances.
 
=== With pinfu ===
[[Pinfu]] requires a [[machi|wait pattern]] consisting of [[ryanmen]] (open wait) or a related wait like [[ryanmenten]] (three sided open). If a hand is waiting to complete the 1-9 pattern, a ryanmen wait would be subject to [[takame and yasume]]: only one tile would complete the ittsu.


==English reference==
However, this problem is completely averted if the hand already contains the full 1-9 pattern, with a wait depending on the extra tile group.
*Straight


==Usage==
=== With honitsu and chinitsu ===
While the hand shows a complete 1-9 grouping from a particular suit, it is best to view as three separate groups of: 123, 456, and 789. This is particularly useful to note when needing to open the hand with such a combination.
Ittsuu already contains nine tiles (1-9) of a single suit, so [[honitsu]] and [[chinitsu]] naturally combine with ittsuu. To form those yaku, the remaining four tiles (plus one winning tile) have to be composed of the same suit or an honor tile.


==Combined with==
With closed hands, this combination produces some very powerful hands.  With honitsu, the hand produces [[mangan]]; while it is [[baiman]] with chinitsu.

* [[Yakuhai]]
* [[Iipeiko]]
* [[Chinitsu]]
