Toki from Kobayashi Ritz's Saki
Full name	YuukiTheFlash
Country	USA
Club	Northwestern University Riichi Mahjong
ID	Onjouji怜 (二段)

YuukiTheFlash is an amateur Riichi Mahjong player who first picked up the game in May 2018, at a Northwestern University Riichi Mahjong club meeting, where he was taught from scratch by Kyuu. He goes by the pseudonyms of Onjouji怜 and Kikuko<3 on Tenhou. While Yuuki regularly plays club mahjong with both Northwestern University Riichi Mahjong and Chicago Area Mahjong, he also plays online, weekly, with the Tenhou Tuesday group. In addition, Yuuki has met and played with members of USPML.

Yuuki is an avid fan of Kobayashi Ritz's Saki series, where his favorite character is Senriyama's Vanguard, Onjouji Toki. Subsequently, Yuuki's favorite yaku in the game is Ippatsu 一発, and his favorite yaku combination is Ippatsu Tsumo, as it is Toki's signature hand. Although he has never scored it or seen it live, Yuuki's favorite Yakuman is Tenhou 天和 (There was a period of time where Yuuki was obsessed with Daisangen 大三元, which has since dulled after he scored it multiple times on Tenhou). Yuuki's proudest hand that he has scored is what he refers to as his "Toki Kazoe", which was a Kazoe Yakuman he scored in casual play, where his Ippatsu Tsumo on his takame tile gave him exactly 13 Han needed for a Kazoe Yakuman (Riichi, Ippatsu, Tsumo, Pinfu, Ryanpeikou, Honitsu, Dora 2, Akadora 1).

Unusual Highlights

These are some unusual situations that YuukiTheFlash has been a part of, while playing Riichi Mahjong.

Date	Location	Situation	Description	Source
06-28-2018	Tenhou.net	Agari Renchan Deny West Win - First to score over 30k points in West, and still not win under normal Tenhou rules.	In South 4, Shimocha tsumo'd forcing a West round, as no one was above 30k (due to the Enchousen rule). Then in West 1, the dealer (Kamicha), and myself double ron Toimen allowing me to pass 30k (going to 31.8k), and Kamicha goes to 29.9k. However, because of agari renchan, Kamicha is entitled to another hand, which he wins, passing me in West 1 Honba 1.	[9]
08-11-2018	Chicago Area Mahjong Club Play	Perfect Houtei Sanchahou 三家和 - One of three players to call ron on the houtei tile dropped by the dealer.	In South 3 Honba 1, the dealer is in last place and needed to push tenpai, despite one riichi being on the table. The dealer draws the haitei tile but is not tenpai and decides to drop the dangerous dora, which is the 4s, as the houtei tile. This prompts the 3 others players who happen to be waiting on dora to call ron, forcing a Tochuu ryuukyoku by Sanchahou, allowing the dealer to continue his dealership. In the picture, I am Kamicha, who was waiting on 1, 4, 7s, a Sanmentan wait.	[10]
