It is defined by a player declaring [[ron]] with a starting hand before the dealer gets a second turn or before any [[Naki| called tile]]. This premise is similar to the [[chihou]], except the hand wins by discard (ron). In some instances, it may be considered as a [[yakuman]], [[mangan]], or not used at all.

Renhou 「人和」 is an optional yaku. It is scored when a player declares ron with their starting hand, before drawing their first tile, and before anyone makes a tile call. Only non-dealers may invoke renhou, since the dealer gets the first draw (and discard) of the game.

It can be considered the ron equivalent of chiihou. Unlike chiihou, renhou is not always scored as a yakuman; it may be worth less, depending on the ruleset.
