Biography

鳥星雨 (ちょうせいう or とりせいう) is an amateur Riichi Mahjong player and streamer who currently resides in Seoul, South Korea. An alumnus of Northwestern University, he founded the Northwestern University Riichi Mahjong club in April 2018. Despite graduation, he continues to run the club's online events, held through the club Discord server.

鳥星雨 was first introduced to mahjong through 咲-Saki- in November 2017. He ordered his first set in February 2018, joined Chicago Area Mahjong in March, and founded NURM in April. During the summer of 2018, he played with Waseda University Mahjong Club in Shinjuku, Tokyo. Since moving to Seoul for work, he has played primarily at Sillim Mahjong Cafe, where he continues to play today. Online, 鳥星雨 plays primarily on Tenhou and Majsoul. He enjoys playing (and streaming) both ranked and unranked games. On mobile, he prefers playing on Tengokuhai.

In his spare time, 鳥星雨 loves watching and analyzing videos of his favorite professional players. Often, he finds himself spending significantly more time watching mahjong rather than playing it. Some of his favorite pros include 魚谷侑未 (Uotani Yuumi), 二階戸亜紀 (Nikaido Aki), and 茅森早香 (Kayamori Sayaka).

Outside of mahjong, 鳥星雨 is avid fan of the 東方Project series of games, and specifically arrangements of its music. He frequently flies to Japan for travel, and regularly attends Comiket and Reitaisai. He collects music CDs, in part to satisfy his necessity for lossless audio files. He speaks English, Korean, Japanese, and Mandarin Chinese in varying degrees of capability.

Thus, kyushu kyuhai was declined and a yakuman was attempted from the beginning. Immediately after tenpai was achieved, shimocha dealt the final winning tile.	[2][3]

Immediately afterwards, toimen dealt the winning tile.	[4][5]
