Iipeikou 「一盃口」 is a yaku scored when a hand has two identical sequences (two sequences with the same number and suit). It also requires the hand to be closed. If a hand has "two iipeikou"s, it instead scores ryanpeikou.

Tile pattern

Rearrangement

Arrangement of tiles is irrelevant, as long as two groups of tiles form the identical sequences.

Formation

When the tiles are sorted, iipeikou may appear as three groups of consecutive pairs. However, since they must be interpreted as two sequences to score as iipeikou, a hand can never score both iipeikou and chiitoitsu.

Note that iipeikou requires the hand to be closed, so any open call (chii/pon/open kan) will invalidate this yaku, even if the call was unrelated to this yaku. However, it is allowed to call ron and score this yaku, even if the winning tile was the one to complete the iipeikou pattern.

Iipeikou requires two sequences, and as a result is incompatible with sanshoku doukou, toitoi, honroutou, chiitoitsu, sanankou, and sankantsu, all of which require either at least three koutsu/kantsu or a seven pair structure. The final incompatibility is with ryanpeikou, as ryanpeikou implies iipeikou and so iipeikou is not counted.

Iipeikou is often combined with pinfu, which also requires sequences. Iipeikou can naturally be obtained with shapes like 4456 and 4556, which a pinfu hand may have due to tile efficiency reasons.

-'''Iipeikou''' {{kana|一盃口}} is a standard [[yaku]].  Its feature composes of two identical [[mentsu#shuntsu|sequences]].  By identical, both shuntsu must be of the same number and same suit.  This pattern may also be produced twice in one hand, to form an alternative yaku, [[ryanpeikou]].  Finally, the hand must be closed only.  A single [[naki|open call]] invalidates the yaku, even if the pattern exists within the hand.

-The lowest possible score for a iipeikou nomi (only) hand is 1 han and 40 fu.  The 40 fu is derived from a closed ron (10 fu) plus possession of another fu generated form, either by certain [[machi|wait patterns]] or [[koutsu|triplet(s)]].  In order for the hand to involve 30 fu, it would have to involve pinfu with the closed ron.  Likewise, a win by tsumo may involve a similar form.  Given the closed only aspect of this hand, it is unavoidable to score an "iipeikou only" hand without a combination with [[mentsumo|closed tsumo]].
-The highest possible score for an iipeikou nomi (only) hand is 1 and 100 fu.  The 64 fu is derived from two groups of non-yakuhai [[jihai|honor tiles]] or [[terminal|terminals]] used for [[kan|closed kans]].  With that, the wait pattern involves a [[tanki|single wait]] on the East round dealer win pair; the pairing brings in 6 fu (4 for the double wind and 2 for the single wait).  Add the base fu and closed ron, and the total fu count is exactly 100.  For tsumo, the difference again involves a closed tsumo and the lack of 10 fu derived from a closed ron.  However, it surpasses 90 fu from the tsumo bonus and rounds up to 100 anyways.  Naturally, when combined with other yaku, the score can be significantly higher.
