'''Kokushi musou''' {{kana|国士無双}}, also simply known as '''kokushi''' or in English as '''thirteen orphans''', is one of the standard [[List of yaku#Yakuman|yakuman]] hands.

Kokushi requires having 13 unique [[terminal]]/[[honor]] tiles, and a duplicate of any of any one of these tiles.

Restricted as closed only, this hand must draw at least 12 of the 13 required tile types. If a pair exists within the hand upon [[tenpai]], then naturally, the hand is waiting on the last remaining tile type not yet in the hand. This hand will become [[karaten|impossible]] if all four of any of the tile types are no longer available.
