  • Value: 1 han
  • Example:
    • Opponent: , Discarded and claimed riichi
    • Self: , Ron: [replay 1]
  • Trivia:
    • Tsubame Gaeshi is a famous technique of the legendary Japanese swordsman, Kojirou Sasaki.
    • Sometimes Tsubame gaeshi also refers to a cheating techinique of mahjong, which is not related to the yaku. In this case, it means to swap tiles quickly between the wall in front of the player and his starting hand right after finishing haipai.

Depending on rulesets, variation exists between allowing ankan or not.

Kanburi

Kanburi / Kanfuri 「槓振り」 is a yaku for claiming a winning hand on opponent's discarding tile right after they claimed a kan.

Sanshoku tsuukan

Sanshoku tsuukan 「三色通貫」 (lit. Three-color straight) is a hand containing shuntsus of 123, 456 and 789 both in different suits. Also called Sanshoku ittsuu 「三色一通」, or Hon ikkitsuukan 「混一気通貫」 (lit. Mixed straight).

When their suits are identical, it becomes the standard yaku ikkitsuukan.

More specifically, the hand is built by: a sequence X in suit A, the sequence X in another suit B, another sequence Y in suit A, and the sequence Y in suit B. No restriction on the pair in general.

Yakumans related to specific tiles

  • Hana 「花」 (Flower): Pinzu of 5
  • Tori 「鳥」 (Bird): Souzu of 1
  • Kaze 「風」 (Wind): Bakaze or jikaze

Yakumans related to tile color

Kouitten

Kouitten 「紅一点」 (lit. A little red) is a hand similar to ryuuiisou by replacing the sangenpai hatsu to the red one: sangenpai chun. Also called Ittenkou 「一点紅」.

The sangenpai chun is required to complete the hand, similarly to the early restriction on ryuuiisou.

  • Value: Yakuman
  • Example:
  • Trivia:
    • The yaku name originates from the verse 「萬緑叢中紅一點」, lit. A little red in the greenery.

Benikujaku

Benikujaku 「紅孔雀」 (lit. Red peacock) is a hand only built by the red souzu tiles (souzu of 1, 5, 7 and 9) and sangenpai chun.

This yaku is harder than ryuuiisou and chinroutou, as it only contains five kinds of available tiles, and they can't perform any shuntsu.

  • Value: Yakuman
  • Example: , Agari:
  • Trivia:
    • This yaku is derived from ryuuiisou, as it utilizes the tiles not used by ryuuiisou. It used to have a name Kouiisou 「紅一色」 (lit. All red), but it's vague due to the fact there're many other tiles also containing red. Hence, this hand is renamed with the peacock pattern of the 1-sou.

Kokuiisou

Kokuiisou / Heiiisou 「黒一色」 (lit. All black) is a hand built only by the black tiles: the pinzu of 2 / 4 / 6 and four kinds of kazehai.

The hand is available in either toitoi or chiitoi form.

  • Value: Yakuman (or sanbaiman in some rules)
  • Examples:

Ryuuiisourin / Kouittenrin

Ryuuiisourin 「緑一色輪」 is a hand similar to ryuuiisou by replacing the pair with the souzu of 5. Likewise, we get Kouittenrin 「紅一点輪」 by replacing the pair based on a kouitten hand.

Such hands are available in chiitoitsu form, as they both contain seven kinds of available tiles to build a hand.

  • Value: Yakuman
  • Example:
    • (Ryuuiisourin)
    • (Kouittenrin)

Yakumans related to specific things

Golden Gate Bridge

American Civil War

Nanboku sensou 「南北戦争」 (American Civil War) is a hand built with two triplets of South and North, a set of "1861" in identical suit, and a set of "1865" in another suit.

  • Restriction:
    • Menzenchin only.
    • The triplet of South / North is usually not allowed to meld or claim as ankan.
    • The two groups of years are usually not allowed in a same suit.
  • Value: Yakuman
  • Example:
  • Trivia:
    • The yaku originates from American Civil War. Two sets of numbers indicate its starting year 1861 and the ending year 1865, while two sets of honors indicate the two belligerents: southern United States and northern United States.
    • The yaku comes from American mahjong, which generally doesn't follow the pattern of traditional mahjong (multiple sets and a pair).
