Players in riichi benefit from twice the dora: a kan dora and a kan ura dora. Also, a player in riichi is already in tenpai, so they become more likely to win. In addition, the threat of kan dora will make your riichi more threatening. Therefore, if kan is possible during riichi, then it will often be done.

In addition, the threat of kan dora will make your riichi more threatening. Therefore, kan during riichi is particularly strong, assuming it is possible.


If you are in riichi, but someone appears to be pushing against you, it becomes a more risky play. If you happen to be in the lead in this situation, consider not calling kan.
