Specific tile pairs generate fu. Pairs of [[yakuhai]] tiles count for 2 fu.
Having a pair of [[yakuhai]] tiles is worth [[fu]].
 
*A pair of normal yakuhai ([[dragon]]s, [[seat wind]], [[round wind]]) is worth 2 fu
*A pair of double yakuhai (wind that is both round and seat wind) is worth either 2 fu or 4 fu, depending on the [[Scoring variations#Fu|ruleset]].
