'''Kokushi musou''', also simply known as '''kokushi''', is one of the standard [[List of yaku#Yakuman|yakuman]] hands. This hand consists of one of each terminal tile from each suit and one of each honor tiles. The 14th tile must be a duplicate of any terminal or honor tile. This hand is one of the two exceptions of the "four melds and one pair" rule of forming a hand, where the other exception is the [[chii toitsu]]. This hand is closed only. | '''Kokushi musou''' (国士無双), also simply known as '''kokushi''', is one of the standard [[List of yaku#Yakuman|yakuman]] hands. This hand consists of one of each terminal tile from each suit and one of each honor tiles. The 14th tile must be a duplicate of any terminal or honor tile. If a player draws the thirteen different tile types before pairing any of them, then the hand is of the [[Machi|13 wait variety]] (国士無双１３面待ち). This hand is one of the two exceptions of the "four melds and one pair" rule of forming a hand, where the other exception is the [[chii toitsu]]. This hand is closed only. | ||

The word ''kokushi'' can be translated as "distinguished citizen"; the word ''musou'' is often translated as "peerless". The word ''kokushi'' should not split up and expressed as "Koku shimusou". This is an incorrect spelling. | The word ''kokushi'' can be translated as "distinguished citizen"; the word ''musou'' is often translated as "peerless".
