Kazoe yakuman 「数え役満」 is a special class of yakuman obtained by combining regular yaku. Specifically, any hand that scores 13 han or more is a kazoe yakuman. Any combination of yaku and/or dora can work, though some are easier to use than others.

Kazoe yakuman cannot be combined with regular yakuman. Under standard rules, a hand cannot score both yakuman and yaku. Therefore, a yakuman hand cannot have regular yaku. Also, a hand that scores 26 or more han is not considered a double yakuman.

Some rules may not recognize kazoe yakuman. In that case, a hand worth 13 han or more would be treated as a sanbaiman instead.

Different kazoe combinations

There are many different possibilities for a kazoe yakuman, since any yaku may contribute towards the hand.

Chinitsu based

With chinitsu already at 6 han while closed, this hand is already almost half-way to the needed 13 han for kazoe yakuman. Naturally, other yaku and/or dora are necessary in order to increase the han count to 13. Nevertheless, chinitsu is a common yaku for this combination.

Example:

Chinitsu with san ankou, riichi, tsumo, and some dora.

Tsumo:

. Dora indicator:

Dora based

Large numbers of dora can easily push hands beyond the 13 han limit. This is particularly true with kan dora and ura dora (with kan ura dora).

Example:

Riichi with 12+ dora

Ron:

. Ura-dora indicators:

Without dora

A few possible kazoe yakuman combinations do not require dora to achieve 13 han.

Examples:

Chinitsu with ryanpeiko, tanyao, pinfu, riichi, and tsumo.

Tsumo:

Shousangen with haku, hatsu, toitoi, san ankou, honroutou, honitsu, and san kantsu

Shousangen with haku, chun, double ton, toitoi, san kantsu, rinshan kaihou, honitsu

-'''Kazoe yakuman''' {{kana|数え役満}} is a special class of [[yakuman]], where hands are composed of regular [[yaku]].  Yakuman in this fashion is achieved with the accumulation of 13 han or more via a mixed combination of regular yaku and/or [[dora]].  Unlike the other yakuman patterns, the name "kazoe yakuman" is a generic name.  Thus, different formations of kazoe yakuman are differentiated by their composition, just like any other hand.

-If the hand happens to be a regular yakuman, calculation of han is skipped, even if there were 13 or more. It is per standard rules disallowing the combination of combine kazoe yakuman and regular yakuman to score multiple yakuman with one hand.  However, this may be possible using [[aotenjou]].
+Kazoe yakuman cannot be combined with regular yakuman. Under standard rules, a hand cannot score both yakuman and yaku. Therefore, a yakuman hand cannot have regular yaku. Also, a hand that scores 26 or more han is not considered a [[multiple yakuman|double yakuman]].

-The sheer nature of kazoe allows different possibilities.  Any yaku may be composed into a kazoe yakuman.  Although, some are better suited and offers a greater chance of achieving the necessary 13+ han.
