Similar to nagashi mangan, the condition breaks if anybody melded some tiles required by the yaku, though it doesn't hurt if the melded tile is not related to the repeated part.

• Value: Mangan

Some variations may exist under different rulesets:

• Can only imitate the discards from a dealer, meaning only non-dealers can achieve this yaku.
• Value can be increased if more tiles are mimicked, e.g. 7th turn haneman, 9th turn baiman, and so on.

Ishino uenimo sannen

Ishino uenimo sannen 「石の上にも三年」 (lit. Three years on a rock) is a yaku achieved by winning a double-riichi hand with haitei raoyue / houtei raoyui.

• Value: Yakuman
• Examples:
  • , Ron: (Daisharin)

  • When this yaku is not recognized, such hand scores at least a sanbaiman (11 han), with tanyao's 1 han + pinfu's 1 han + ryanpeikou's 3 han + chinitsu's 6 han.
  • The concrete definition of daisharin may vary in each platform. Some is defined as ryanpeikou, while some is defined by chiitoitsu. These definitions in fact generate an identical pattern of a concealed hand, and it doesn't hurt under the general ruleset of japanese mahjong. However this will influence the available stacking yakus under aotenjou rules, which finally brings a different sum-up result.

Shousharin / Shouchikurin / Shousuurin

Shousharin 「小車輪」 is a concealed hand with seven consecutive pinzu pairs from 1 to 7, or from 3 to 9. Similarly, Shouchikurin 「小竹林」 and Shousuurin 「小数隣」 are the variants of souzu and manzu correspondingly.

Isshoku yonjun

Isshoku yonjun / Iisou suushun 「一色四順」 (lit. Pure quadruple sequences) is a hand containing four identical shuntsus in a same suit. Also knowned as Suuren taihou 「四連太宝」.

The winning condition may vary between closed-hand only, or opened-hand allowed. Though even with an openable choice, this hand is still pretty rare, and really hard to accomplish. The difficulty comes from the process of collecting those twelve tiles with continuous numbers in one suit, while only the kamicha can help to feed the tiles. This is also why this yaku generally doesn't apply the kuisagari rule to downgrade the value of an opened hand, which is usually widely applied for shuntsu-based yakus.

• Value: Yakuman
• Example:

The rule of sekinin barai can be applied in this yakuman hand. Due to the limitation on claiming chii, only kamicha can be the target of responsibility.

, last: , formers:

Kamicha becomes liable for feeding the last required set.

• Value: Yakuman
