If an East player finishes noten the wind rotates to the next player correct? but what about the honba counter does it reset to zero after the wind is rotated to the next player?
So, say you're at honba 2 so East has two 100 point sticks out, then it's a draw game but East is noten so the winds rotate. Does the current East take back their two 100 point sticks, then the new east puts out three for the next round?
Yes, that is exactly what happens. It's important to remember that those 100-point sticks are just markers. High-end autotables actually have honba markers so that players do not have to put out any 100-point sticks, mainly because that would cause the point displays to be inaccurate.
Nice video, I haven't been able to find any decent information on Honba, but I'm still unclear on one facet of Honba. If there are Honba on the table, and the East wind is the Dealer, and the North Wind wins the hand I know the Honba reset. Does the North Wind collect points from the Honba before they are reset?
Yes, whoever wins the hand will have his or her score increased due to the honba on the table. For example, if there were 2 honba when the player who is north wins a hand that is worth 2000 points from the player who is east, the score of the hand would be increased by 300 times the number of honba to a total of 2600 points. After the points are paid out and the winds rotate, then the honba are removed from the board. Just to be clear, the honba themselves are just markers. They are point sticks that belong to whoever was east and are placed on the board only to mark the number of honba. Some high-end automatic tables will count the number of honba automatically so the need for physically placing honba is eliminated, but that is rather uncommon outside of mahjong parlors.
So, the honba only reset once someone who isn't east wins a game, but does east gain the value of the honba added to their hand without them being reset every time they win a hand for their entire streak?
The bonus from the honba is applied to winning hands regardless of if they would be reset afterwards. If the east player keeps winning, then they can keep racking up honba and the bonuses that come with them.
Where does the 100 point sticks come from for the honba? Is it from east player's points or it is just an extra 100 points that doesn't belong to any player?
The player who is east uses one of their 100-point sticks as the honba. These 100-point sticks still belong to that player; they are just used as markers to show how many honba there are.

In Ryuukyoku, does that East player stay East all the time? any exception?
It depends on the ruleset. In most rulesets, if East is in tenpai at ryuukyoku, then they stay East. If East is noten, then winds rotate.
So, the honba only reset once someone who isn't east wins a game, but does east gain the value of the honba added to their hand without them being reset every time they win a hand for their entire streak?

Any win will work.
