'''Ippatsu''' {{kana|一発}} is a yaku that is completely dependent on [[riichi]]. After declaring riichi, if the player wins before their next discard, and before anyone makes a [[tile call]], then ippatsu is awarded. You must declare riichi to score ippatsu, so a hand can never have ippatsu by itself.

While ippatsu is generally considered to be a standard yaku, certain [[rule variations|rulesets]] do not use it, in order to reduce variance and lower the value of a riichii. In general, when sitting down to play a game, ippatsu is counted unless otherwise specified or agreed on before the game.

Ippatsu is unique as it requires riichi to even be applicable. Thus, it is impossible for a hand to score with ippatsu alone. At the very minimum, a hand could be riichi with ippatsu.
Ippatsu requires riichi (or double riichi), so it is impossible for a hand to score with ippatsu alone. At the very minimum, a hand could be riichi with ippatsu. Riichi and ippatsu are scored as separate yaku.


Unlike riichi, ippatsu cannot be combined with two yaku: [[rinshan kaihou]] and [[houtei raoyui]]. Rinshan requires a [[kan]] call (after declaring riichi), which would invalidate ippatsu. As for houtei, a riichi declaration must be made with at least 4 tiles left in the live wall. That leaves the very last possible tile draw (and discard) belonging to the riichi declarer.
