'''Ippatsu''' {{kana|一発}} is awarded if the player receives a winning tile within an uninterrupted set of turns after the riichi declaration. Tile calls interrupt the set of turns. The latest possible chance to win with ippatsu is with the player's next drawn tile after the riichi declaration.  In turn, this yaku may only be scored with riichi and is worth an additional 1 han, in conjunction with riichi.

[[Naki|Tile calls]] may disrupt the chance for ippatsu any time before the riichi declarer draws the next tile.
[[Naki|Tile calls]] may end the chance for ippatsu any time before the riichi declarer draws the next tile.  Once again, in order to award ippatsu, the cycle between a player's riichi discard and next turn to discard must be uninterrupted.  Thus, players may actually use the option to make tile calls to deliberately deny a player the chance for ippatsu.
 
Finally, by definition, ippatsu requires a riichi declaration to be in effect.  Therefore, ippatsu cannot function as a stand-alone yaku.
