'''Kan''' {{kana|カン}} is a special tile call in the game. This call forms a [[mentsu|tile grouping]] of four identical tiles, called '''kantsu''' {{kana|槓子}}. | '''Kan''' {{kana|カン}} is a special [[naki|tile call]] in the game.

While appearing as a four-of-a-kind, the tiles used to form kantsu actually function as a [[koutsu|three-of-a-kind]] plus one extra tile. With that in mind, tiles called for kan still interpreted as "triplets" particularly for [[Yaku#Triplet|triplet-based yaku]]], such as [[toitoi]] and [[sanankou]]. For every kan declaration, players are required to take an extra tile draw from the [[dead wall]]. This drawn tile is called the '''[[rinshanpai]]''', or '''dead wall draw'''. After the kan call and player's discard, then another [[dora|dora indicator]] is revealed. | While appearing as a four-of-a-kind, the tiles used to form kantsu actually function as a [[koutsu|three-of-a-kind]] plus one extra tile.
