Also known as a "closed kan", a player may draw all four of a tile type.  Unlike the other two kan types, ''ankan'' keeps the hand closed.  Thus, even with an ankan call, the player may still have the option of declaring [[riichi]] upon [[tenpai]], and/or winning the hand via [[mentsumo]].

Like a ''shominkan'', an ''ankan'' may be declared on any turn while the player holds all four tiles. The same restrictions as for the ''shominkan'' apply.  An ''ankan'' may not be subject to chankan, except against a [[kokushi]] [[tenpai]].
