'''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''', also simply known as '''kokushi''', is one of the standard [[List of yaku#Yakuman|yakuman]] hands.

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 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.

Reasonable development of this hand begins with a dealt set of tiles that gives a player the option to call [[Tochuu_ryuukoku#Kyuushuu_kyuuhai|kyuushuu kyuuhai]]. Declining this option puts the hand on the path to form this yakuman. | |||

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".
