Along with [[tanyao]] and [[riichi]], these yaku are the easiest and most frequently occurring yaku in the game. [[Sangenpai|Dragon tile groups]] always count for yakuhai. [[Kazehai|Wind tiles]] only count for yakuhai if they are the [[round wind]] or the player's [[seat wind]]; other winds are considered offwind or '''otakaze''' {{kana|客風}} and do not grant a yaku or any han, though they may still form valid triplets for the purpose of making four sets and a pair for a complete hand. | ||

All that is required for yakuhai is a single [[koutsu|triplet]] or [[kantsu|quad]] of an eligible tile. The three [[sangenpai|dragon tiles]] are always eligible, but among the wind tiles, only the [[bakaze|round wind]] and the player's [[jikaze|seat wind]] are eligible.

Each of the dragon quads scores 1 han for its own yakuhai. They are scored separately, and the fact that they are quads rather than triplets is irrelevant in the scoring. The additional [[jantou|pair]] of red dragons means that the hand scores [[shousangen]] in addition to, but not instead of, the double yakuhai. | Each of the dragon quads scores 1 han for its own yakuhai.

Players looking for a quick win will often hold lone yakuhai tiles a little longer than their [[tile efficiency]] would dictate, in hopes of getting a second and then calling (or drawing) a third to make a yakuhai. This is particularly true with hands that will have difficulty completing an open [[tanyao]], either because they have lots of [[routouhai|terminals]] or honours, or because [[kuitan|open tanyao]] is not allowed. | Players looking for a quick win will often hold lone yakuhai tiles a little longer than their [[tile efficiency]] would dictate, in hopes of getting a second and then calling (or drawing) a third to make a yakuhai.

Yakuhai hands may commonly be used for [[atozuke]]. Here, the hand depends on yakuhai for yaku, where among the multiple waiting tiles, one of them is a yakuhai tile. However, the other waiting tile(s) may not produce a yaku, unless it wins via [[chankan]], [[rinshan]], [[haitei]], or [[houtei]]. | |||
==Terminology== | ==Terminology== | ||
While yakuhai can be referred to collectively and it is rarely ambiguous, it is not uncommon to call them out individually, particularly when scoring a hand by announcing its yaku. The table to the right shows the written forms of most of the yakuhai. Some game platforms count statistics on the individually different yakuhai, by dragons and winds. Others collect them all under one statistic. | |||

For example, a dealer winning the previous hand during the east turn wouldn't say: "three yakuhai", but rather: "double east, red dragon". This makes the origin of each han clearer. | |||

[[Pinfu]] and [[ryanpeikou]] do not allow triplets. [[Chiitoitsu]] requires seven distinct pairs, also preventing triplets. | ||
[[Honitsu]] is one of the most effective combinations with at least one yakuhai group. This yaku is compatible with itself. Different groups of yakuhai tiles may be collected into one hand; and in turn, they are treated as separate yaku, despite identical functionality. In particular, [[shousangen]] requires not just one, but two yakuhai. | |||
