Sakurai Shouichi no Jankiryuu Mahjong Hisshouhou ("Shouichi Sakurai's Surefire Win Jankiryuu Mahjong") is a mahjong game that seeks to teach the player how to play like Shouichi Sakurai, a professional underground mahjong player who frequently created mildly fictionalized memoirs and documentaries about his exploits. His most famous work is the Shin Janki series of movies, which often pits Sakurai against other shady individuals at the mahjong table. The game features tutorials and a standard mode. It's distinct among Super Famicom mahjong games for its slightly skewed perspective of the player's tiles and the table.
