Following the recent M-League x World Riichi event, I would like to share a few reflections on my journey in Mahjong, my evolving perspective on the game, and the responsibilities of a professional player.

I would like to start with how I first became a fan of M-League. Three years ago, when I first started learning mahjong, I had this mistake of ponning every yakuhai pair regardless of how good or bad my hand is. And my coach said to me, you should go watch Takaharu Ooi’s commentary in Aiko Hinata’s video series “Mahjong no Takumi” (Artisans in Mahjong). His famous quote “if you want to win in mahjong, then you should not want to win in mahjong” first introduced the concept of offense-defense balance to me, but what’s more, I was amazed at how he was able to extract so much information from the discards. “I do commentary work, so I can express more of my thoughts than average pros, but I think I’ve only conveyed 50% of my thoughts in the videos”, as he said. What a remarkable person! Where can I watch more of his games? That’s how I found out about M-League, and naturally I became a fan of the team Shibuya Abemas.

Next I want to share with you why I like mahjong and why I like playing mahjong. Before mahjong, I was a competitive bridge player and Texas Hold’em player. There is this same concept of mangan cutoff, and vulnerable / invulnerable situation maps to mahjong’s dealer / non-dealer. The concept of offense-defense balance is the same as poker’s aggressor / defender. Being asymmetric information games, they share the same ultimate goal of approaching Nash Equilibrium, GTO. Mahjong is a four-player game, so unlike the standard poker heads-up situation where there’s one unique Nash Equilibrium point, there could be multiple Nash Equilibrium points, which leads to variance of play-styles. Last but not least, there is this mathematical beauty of the complex shapes. When I first got introduced to the shape 22334557 actually being 233457 ryanmen-kanchan + 25 wing shape pairs, I felt like I was looking at Mona Lisa: this kind of hidden and asymmetric beauty really fasinates me.

This analytical background, however, fostered a restrictive mindset. To me, mahjong has never been any sort of entertainment. Mahjong to me is an interesting math problem that needs to be researched and solved. And therefore, I used to think that M-League is a group of elite players exhibiting peak technical execution. I prioritized the game's purity while entirely neglecting its human element.

I was very strict with beginners. I used to say things like “why don’t you read these chapters in these books”, “why don’t you use NAGA more often”, and “why do you care about yakuman at all”. I felt absurd watching people laughing over the most unreasonable kan. But as the saying goes “with great power comes great responsibility”. I failed to recognize that engaging with the community is a fundamental task for professionals.

But observing the M-Leaguers interacting with the US fans profoundly altered my perspective. I remember on Saturday’s after hour event, Uchikawa-pro despite being very physically uncomfortable, still finished all the games and laughed and interacted with all the players. I remember some of the M-Leaguers despite being exhausted at the autograph session, when people come to ask for their autographs they immediately switch to smiling and passionately offering kind words. They demonstrated that professional responsibility extends far beyond technical mastery; it demands elevating and welcoming the community. Moving forward, my focus will not only be on refining my strategic skill, but also on cultivating the character required of a true professional.

I extend my sincere gratitude Dave for organizing this amazing event, and helping me become a better mahjong pro. Many thanks to other staff—Laura, Jenn, and so many others—and to the M-Leaguers for traveling all the way here. I’m looking forward to seeing you again in the 2028 New York WRC.

彼氏が雀士でした

死にたいくらい恥ずかしいデートでした

空いてる電車でわざわざ人と人の間に座って「カンチャンズッポシ！」って言うし

会計が3900円の時に「じゃあ1300-2600な！」って言って私が2600円払わせられて凄く不快でした

あたし何かおかしい事言ってますか？
普通の感覚ですよね？？

That's the beauty of it bro, we study the source material, page after page, book after book... They won't even know we're actually larping...

And when the questions roll in, we use that knowledge to our advantage and we can keep posing like nothing even happened...
