Happoubijin 「八方美人」 is a tile wait pattern that creates a wait on 8 consecutive tiles. The pattern's name is a pun; it can be interpreted as "a person who is beautiful from all angles" or "everybody's friend". It also starts with 「八」 for eight the number of waits.
Pattern
Waiting for: 
The pattern for happoubijin resembles the nine-sided chuuren poutou wait, with two triplets and all the tiles in between. The difference is that the happoubijin wait is shorter, with 5 tiles, not 8, separating the triplets. Additionally, unlike the chuuren wait, the triplets cannot be 1 or 9, as that would lower the number of available waits to 7. The construction of the waiting patterns is similar; this example hand contains:
- A 38m shanpon wait.
- A 258m ryanmenten wait.
- A 369m ryanmenten wait.
- 4m and 7m tanki waits.
It is the widest wait outside of yakuman hands.
Fu
This pattern generates 2 fu for a tanki wait only if it is won with either of the tiles next to the triplets. Otherwise, the hand is won on a shanpon or ryanmen wait, and so no fu is scored.
