'''Jikaze''' {{kana|自風}}, or '''seat winds''', are assigned to each player at the start of the game. There are four seat winds: East {{kana|東}}, South {{kana|南}}, West {{kana|西}}, and North {{Kana|北}}. After the dealer fails to [[renchan|repeat]] the [[kyoku|hand]], each player's seat wind rotates in that order.

Your seat wind determines your physical position and turn order. Relative to East: South is to the right, West is across, and North is to the left. When a [[kyoku|hand]] starts, players take turns in counter-clockwise order, i.e. '''East -> South -> West -> North'''.

* Tie-breakers: Some [[Oka_and_uma#Tie-breaker|rulesets]] use your seat wind in East 1 to determine ties. Assuming tiebreakers are used: when a tie occurs The East player at East 1 has priority, followed by South, then West.

for the initial wind designations.
{{Main|Yakuhai}}
A wind tile that matches your seat wind becomes a [[yakuhai]] to you. This means:
* A triplet of your seat wind is worth 1 [[han]].
* A pair of your seat wind is worth 2 [[fu]].


== Yakuhai ==
If your seat wind is also the [[round wind]], it becomes a double wind. A triplet of a double wind is worth 2 han. A pair of a double wind may be worth [[Scoring_variations#Double_wind_fu|2 or 4 fu]], depending on the ruleset.
{{main|Yakuhai}}
 
Players who collect corresponding wind tiles to their wind seat gains possesses [[yaku|1-yaku]], and in turn, [[scoring|1-han]].  If a player's wind also corresponds with the round wind, then collection of their own wind is double, or worth 2-han. Commonly, the round wind is limited to either [[Hanchan|East]] or [[Hanchan|South]].  Some games may extend into the [[West round]].

In addition to wind designations, three terms are used to designate other players relative to oneself. They are:
In addition to wind designations, three terms are used to designate other players relative to oneself. They are:
* '''Shimocha''' {{kana|下家}}, or player to the right
* '''Shimocha''' {{kana|下家}}, or player to the right
* '''Toimen''' {{kana|対面}}, or player across
* '''Toimen''' {{kana|対面}}, or player across
* '''Kamicha''' {{kana|上家}}, or player to the left
* '''Kamicha''' {{kana|上家}}, or player to the left


These designations do not necessarily take into account of wind position, which changes in relation to each other. As the wind designations change, the relative position to oneself does not.
The relative positions of each player do not rotate as the winds rotate. This means that the player to your right will always be to your right, no matter which winds you two are.
