===Ankan===
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.  That's despite the declaration to the other players and the revealing of the four tiles. The kan dora indicator is flipped immediately, so before the player declaring the ankan discards after his draw from the dead wall.
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]].
 
Per rule variation, the kandora indicator is flipped immediately with an ankan call, rather than waiting for the player's discard or the rinshan draw.


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]].
