=== Kanburi ===
=== Kanburi ===
'''Kanburi''' / '''Kanfuri''' {{kana|槓振り}} is a yaku for claiming a winning hand on opponent's discarding tile right after they claimed a kan.
'''Kanburi''' / '''Kanfuri''' {{kana|槓振り}} is a yaku scored for winning off an opponent's discarded tile right after they called a [[kan]]. The discard does not have to be the [[rinshan]] draw; as long as an opponent calls a kan and discards a deal-in tile immediately, the yaku is scored.
 
The winning tile is not required to be the tile exactly drawn from [[rinshan]]; that being said, as long as an opponent does a kan and discards a deal-in tile immediately, the yaku is automatically achieved.

* Value: 1 han
* Trivia:
** In early computer mahjong games, due to the difficulty of programming [[chankan]], kanburi was often used to replace chankan (as a way to punish kan). This yaku is not used often outside of those games.

This yaku may be either closed only or allowed open. The difficulty comes from the process of collecting those twelve tiles with continuous numbers in one suit, while only the [[kamicha]] can help to feed the tiles. Generally not reduced in value when open (similar to other yakuman).


The winning condition may vary between closed-hand only, or opened-hand allowed.  Though even with an openable choice, this hand is still pretty rare, and really hard to accomplish.  The difficulty comes from the process of collecting those twelve tiles with continuous numbers in one suit, while only the [[kamicha]] can help to feed the tiles.  This is also why this yaku generally doesn't apply the [[kuisagari]] rule to downgrade the value of an opened hand, which is usually widely applied for shuntsu-based yakus.

Local yaku 「ローカル役」, also known as ancient yaku 「古役(こやく)」, are the yaku not used in the standard ruleset of Japanese mahjong. A given set of rules may include any combination of these yaku. Due to the large variety of local yaku, this page will be an incomprehensive list.

One-han yaku

Tsubame gaeshi

Tsubame gaeshi 「燕返し」 (lit. Swallow Reversal / Return) is a yaku scored for winning off an opponent's riichi declaration tile.

  • Value: 1 han
  • Example:
    • Opponent: , Discarded and claimed riichi
    • Self: , Ron: [replay 1]
  • Trivia:
    • Tsubame Gaeshi is a famous technique of the legendary Japanese swordsman, Kojirou Sasaki.
    • "Tsubame gaeshi" may also refer to a cheating technique that is unrelated to the yaku. In this case, it means to swap tiles quickly between the wall in front of the player and his starting hand right after finishing haipai.

Shiiaru raotai

Shiiaru raotai 「十二落抬」 (lit. Twelve tiles falling down) is a hand with 4 called tile groups, waiting for a single tile (i.e. a hadaka tanki). Also known as Suufuuro tanki「四副露単騎」 (lit. Four-melded single-wait).

Closed kans may or may not be allowed, depending on the ruleset.

  • Value: 1 han
  • Example: , Agari:

Kanburi

Kanburi / Kanfuri 「槓振り」 is a yaku scored for winning off an opponent's discarded tile right after they called a kan. The discard does not have to be the rinshan draw; as long as an opponent calls a kan and discards a deal-in tile immediately, the yaku is scored.

  • Value: 1 han
  • Trivia:
    • In early computer mahjong games, due to the difficulty of programming chankan, kanburi was often used to replace chankan (as a way to punish kan). This yaku is not used often outside of those games.

Sangen chiitoitsu / Suushi chiitoitsu

Sangen chiitoitsu 「三元七対子」 / Suushi chiitoitsu 「四喜七対子」 is a chiitoitsu hand containing pairs of all 3 dragons / all 4 winds, respectively.

  • Value: 1 han (in addition to chiitoitsu's 2 han)
  • Examples:

Uushin tsuukan

Uushin tsuukan 「五心通貫」 is a specific ittsu hand with a kanchan wait of 5 on its straight part, thus appearing as: 123-46-789 at tenpai.

  • Value: Usually 1 han (in addition to ittsu's 1 or 2 han)
  • Example: , Agari:

Two-han yaku

Sanrenkou

Sanrenkou 「三連刻」 (lit. Three consecutive triplets) is a hand with three triplets in an identical suit, where each triplet is 1 higher than thep revious.

  • Value: 2 han
  • Example: , Agari:

A variation exists if the triplets are in different suits: Sanshoku renkou 「三色連刻」 (lit. Three-color consecutive triplets).

  • Value: 2 han
  • Example:

Sanshoku tsuukan

Sanshoku tsuukan 「三色通貫」 (lit. Three-color straight) is a hand containing sequences of 123, 456 and 789, with each sequence being in a different suit. Also called Sanshoku ittsuu 「三色一通」, or Hon ikkitsuukan 「混一気通貫」 (lit. Mixed straight).

  • Value: 2 han (1 han when opened)
  • Example: , Ron: [replay 4]

When their suits are identical, it becomes the standard yaku ittsu.

A derived variation exists if it's a tanki wait with sanshoku-tsuukan's mentsus already included: Tanron 「単竜」.

  • Value: Unknown (Closed-hand only. Supercedes shanshoku tsuukan.)
  • Example: , Agari:

Kyandonhou

Kyandonhou 「鏡同和」 (Twice mixed double sequences, lit. Mirrored identities) is a hand containing two groups of identical sequences in two different suits.

More specifically, the hand is built by: a sequence X in suit A, the sequence X in another suit B, another sequence Y in suit A, and the sequence Y in suit B. No restriction on the pair in general.

  • Value: 2 han (either closed only, or open allowed with -1 han)
  • Example:

When their suits are identical, it becomes the standard ryanpeikou hand.

Ryandoukou

Ryandoukou 「二同刻、両同刻」 (Twice double triplets) is a hand containing two groups of identical triplets (or quads) in two suits. Sometimes also known as Daburu deito 「ダブルデート」 (lit. Double-date) or Abekku toitoi 「アベック対々」 (lit. Avec-triplets).

Mangan for actions taking on specific tiles

The following yaku are achieved by taking actions on some particular tiles. These yaku are often inspired by idioms, verses, or simply the tile patterns.

There are two common scoring mechanics on them:

  1. Directly scored as a mangan, unless the hand can be scored higher in another way.
  2. An additional 1 han for the specific operations, which in essence values 2-han in total.

Sometimes both two scoring methods are applied simultaneously, where the higher scoring one is used.

The most common rule is: if a player has their discards identical to some opponent in the first row (usually from 1st to 5th / 6th turn), maneman is applied, and the opponent will pay out a mangan if that player wins.

Similar to nagashi mangan, the condition breaks if anybody calls a tile related to the maneman. An opponent calling a tile after maneman is fufilled will not cancel the maneman.

Yakuman

Paarenchan

Paarenchan 「八連荘」 (lit. Eight consecutive dealership) is a special winning state related to renchan. Roughly speaking, if a player successfully keeps his dealership for eight continuous rounds, or simply wins eight hands continuously, the hand he won at the last time will be automatically scored as a yakuman, as long as it is a valid winning hand.

More specifically, there are three main variants to determine a paarenchan:

Definition 1: Winning eight hands consecutively, no matter if the player is the dealer at that round.
Definition 2: Winning eight hands continuously exactly in his own dealership (as how the yaku name strictly indicated).
Definition 3: Successfully accumulates eight honba points on his own. Usually a hand must be won at the last honba, while it doesn't matter for the previous ones.

Rulesets that include paarenchan will usually include the optional restriction of ryanhan-shibari, which is applied dealer after the fifth round. (This means that, past the 5th honba, each winning hand must be 2+ han.)

  • Value: Yakuman

The following charts show their differences on tracking a valid state of paarenchan:

Depending on ruleset, the dealership may automatically rotate after paarenchan, or allowing the dealer to continue the next loop of paarenchan progress.

Pouhoi paarenchan

Only used alongside paarenchan. If a non-dealer breaks opponent's dealership successfully at the round the dealer can achieve paarenchan, Pouhoi paarenchan 「破回八連荘」 (lit. Destroyed eighth-dealership) is achieved. The non-dealer winner will automatically scored a yakuman.

  • Value: Yakuman

Toukanhou

Toukanhou 「頭槓和」 (lit. First-kan win) is a yaku achieved by claiming a kan in the first turn and winning with rinshan kaihou immediately.

Similarly to tenhou and chiihou, the yaku will be nullified with any preceding calling actions from the opponents.

Shiisanpuutaa / Shiisuupuutaa

Shiisanpuutaa / Shiisanputou 「十三不塔」 (lit. Thirteen unconnected) is a special starting hand with none of the two tiles (in thirteen different tiles) can be formed as a taatsu, aside from exactly one pair.

  • Value: Yakuman
  • Examples:
  • Trivia:

  • Examples:
  • Trivia:
    • When the yaku is not recognized, such hand values at least a baiman (9 han), with chinitsu's 6 han + ryanpeikou's 3 han. Unlike daisharin, pinfu is not always guaranteed.
    • The usage of yaku is not as common as daisharin. Usually this yaku is defined accompanying with daisharin as a weaker version.

Isshoku yonjun

Isshoku yonjun / Iisou suushun 「一色四順」 (lit. Pure quadruple sequences) is a hand containing four identical sequences in a same suit. Also known as Suuren taihou 「四連太宝」.

This yaku may be either closed only or allowed open. The difficulty comes from the process of collecting those twelve tiles with continuous numbers in one suit, while only the kamicha can help to feed the tiles. Generally not reduced in value when open (similar to other yakuman).

The rule of sekinin barai can be applied in this yakuman hand. Due to the limitation on claiming chii, only kamicha can be the target of responsibility.

, last: , formers:
Kamicha becomes liable for feeding the last required set.

Hyakuman goku

Hyakuman goku 「百万石」 (lit. One Million Koku) is a chinitsu hand of manzu where all of their numbers can be summed up to over a hundred. As how the yaku name indicated, a million is achieved by multiplying 100 by ten thousands, the unit of manzu.

  • Value: Yakuman
  • Example: , Agari: [replay 31]
  • Trivia:
    • This yaku is derived from ryuuiisou, as it utilizes the tiles not used by ryuuiisou. It used to have a name Kouiisou 「紅一色」 (lit. All red), but it's vague due to the fact there are many other tiles that also containing red. Hence, this hand is renamed with the peacock pattern of the 1-sou.
