For any given hand, more than one player may call riichi. Subsequent riichi calls after the first is called '''oikake riichi''' {{kana|追いかけリーチ}}. In English, this is often referred to as the "chase riichi". Oikake has one distinct advantage of an ippatsu ron chance against any previous riichi hands before taking a draw. After all, defense is no longer a factor to those hands, as they are committed to discarding non-winning tiles. The hands are essentially engaged in a "riichi duel" provided that they have different waiting tiles. Under many rulesets, the hand aborts in the event for all players to have declared riichi via [[suucha riichi]]. | For any given hand, more than one player may call riichi.

=== Karaten riichi === | |||
Riichi may actually be called if all waiting tiles are rendered unavailable. A hand in this state is rendered as [[karaten]]. In this state, the hand is not winnable as the number of available winning tiles is zero. Such calls may be made by mistake, or intentionally to cause players to defend. | |||
