When a riichi declarer holds three identical tiles and draws the fourth after the riichi announcement, he may form an [[Kan|ankan]] from these tiles instead of discarding the fourth. The hand composition and the possible winning tiles may not change: It is not allowed to declare kan if, for some possible winning tile, any of the three identical tiles may be interpreted as part of a shuntsu or part of the pair.
When a riichi declarer holds three identical tiles and draws the fourth after the riichi announcement, he may form an [[Kan|ankan]] from these tiles instead of discarding the fourth. The hand composition and the possible winning tiles may not change: It is not allowed to declare kan if, for some possible winning tile, any of the three identical tiles may be interpreted as part of a shuntsu or part of the pair.


Example 1:
'''Example 1:'''
:{{#mjt:3444m778899s333z}} Illegal kan: {{#mjt:4m}} Legal kan: {{#mjt:3z}}.
:{{#mjt:3444m778899s333z}} Illegal kan: {{#mjt:4m}} Legal kan: {{#mjt:3z}}.


It is not allowed to kan the fours. The manzu tiles may either be interpreted as a 3-4 [[Ryanmen|ryanmen]] wait and a 4-4 pair, or as a 4-man ankou with a 3-man [[tanki]] wait. A kan call would alter the wait just for a 3-man tanki.  For a legal kan declaration, the three identical tiles would have to be an ankou in any interpretation. Had the player drawn a west wind, he would have been allowed to kan it.
