Actually, didn't we use this panel before
This instructional corner is more or less for the people who are watching the "Saki" anime but don't know anything about mahjong at all!
You're going to ignore me again?
Since when was that camera there?
As a bonus, I have as my assistant the loyal dog of the of the Mahjong Club: Kyoutarou!
Who the hell's a dog!
Anyway, for the 2nd episode of this super popular corner, today we'll be explaining some of the terminology used when referring to the players.
"Super popular", you say... this is only the 2nd episode, you know.
The club president told me that saying it like this is a lot better for ratings.
Isn't it relatively meaningless either way?
Mahjong begins with the player called the oya, while the other 3 are called ko. The oya is the East player, or the toncha, while the 3 ko players are the nancha, shaacha, and the peicha for the South, West, and North, respectively.
Literally, "oya" = "parent" and "ko" = "child"
Table
Oya: Toncha
Ko: Nancha
Ko: Shaacha
Ko: Peicha
The seating arrangements are pretty much like this.
If you want to know why the directions are placed differently from their usual orientation, go look it up yourself.
