A special case may involve the yaku, [[chankan]].  If the kan call involves a shouminkan and the added tile is a winning tile for another player, then chankan may be applied upon the declaration of another player's winning hand.  Thus, the process of calling kan gets interrupted in favor of another player's winning hand.


=== Kandora timing ===
=== Kandora timing ===
The call for kan reveals additional dora, in the form of [[dora|kandora]].  The timing of this reveal is variable, depending on [[Dora variations|the rule set and/or game platform]].  The simplest rule invokes an immediate reveal upon the declaration; and so, this rule would immediately place the kan reveal after step 1.  Others distinguish the timing between open and closed kans.  Here, closed kans would be granted an immediate reveal; however, open kans would produce another kandora indicator after the discard, upon conclusion of the kan process at step 8.  Regarding the timing of the kandora, players will need to consult organizational and/or local rules.
