-This yakuman requires four kan calls.  As a result, the hand in [[tenpai]] always uses [[Tanki|hadaka tanki]].  In order to call a single kan, a player must draw at least 3 out of 4 of a single tile type.  This yakuman is the most difficult yakuman to attain tenpai, let alone score.  That is due to the need to call kan four times.   If any of those tiles are rendered unavailable, it forces the hand to seek other possible tiles to call kan with; or the hand is made virtually impossible.
+This yakuman requires four kan calls.  As a result, the hand in [[tenpai]] always uses [[Tanki|hadaka tanki]].  In order to call a single kan, a player must draw at least 3 out of 4 of a single tile type under any of these three scenarios:
+* A player has a pair and calls pon.  Then draws the fourth to call kan.
+* A player has a closed triplet and calls kan on a discarded fourth.
+* A player draws all four of a tile type and calls kan.
+For this yakuman, a player must repeat any of those kan calls four times.  This yakuman is the most difficult yakuman to attain tenpai, let alone score.  If any of those tiles are rendered unavailable for kan, it forces the hand to seek other possible tiles to call kan with; or the hand is made virtually impossible.
