'''Kokushi musou''' {{kana|国士無双}}, also simply known as '''kokushi''' or in English as '''thirteen orphans''', is one of the standard [[List of yaku#Yakuman|yakuman]] hands.

It is one of the three '''yakuman gosanke''' {{kana|役満御三家}}, or "the three big families of yakuman". This hand is one of the two exceptions of the "[[Mentsu|four tile groups and one pair]]" requirement for [[tenpai]] hands, where the other exception is [[chiitoitsu]]. In fact, hands for this yakuman involve individual tiles while including a [[pair]]. | ||

Restricted as closed only, this hand must draw at least 12 of the 13 tile types, among the honors and terminals. If a pair exists within the hand upon [[tenpai]], then naturally, the hand is waiting on the last remaining tile type not yet in the hand. In turn, this hand will be deemed [[karaten|impossible for completion]], when all 4 of any of the tile types are no longer available. Yet, if a player manages to develop the 13 wait variety, then this hand greatly increases its chances of completion, needing to simply pair any of the 13 types. | Restricted as closed only, this hand must draw at least 12 of the 13 tile types, among the honors and terminals.

On average, a hand ending in [[exhaustive draw]] ends with roughly 16-19 tiles discarded per player, pending any tile calls. Therefore, every player has that many tile draws to work with. For example, if a hand starts with 9 tiles for the yakuman, then it requires 4 [[shanten|tile draws]] searching for specific tiles. Usually, barring unusual circumstances, those tile draws are nonconsecutive. If anything, a number of tile draws will be required to even attain tenpai. With that said, the decision to form a kokushi musou must be a decisive one at the [[haipai|very beginning of the hand]]. | On average, a hand ending in [[exhaustive draw]] ends with roughly 16-19 tiles discarded per player, pending any tile calls.

Kokushi musou juusan menmachi is very rare. Out of all random tile draws that result in tenpai for kokushi, the chance of naturally drawing all 13 tiles without a single duplicate is approximately one in 9500 (~0.0106%). The only "consistent" way to achieve the double yakuman is to complete kokushi via tsumo, but discard the pair and hope to complete the hand while in furiten. | |||
