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.

== Tile arrangements ==
Tiles called for "kan" are set aside.  In most cases, they are called for open tile groups.  However, one arrangement in particular still indicates a closed hand ("menzen").
=== Closed ===
The first arrangement is preferred, but the second arrangement is also acceptable.
*{{#mjt:0110z}}
*{{#mjt:7007z}}
=== Called ===
Daiminkan are indicated as open tile groups, with the four tiles next to each other and one tile turned to indicate the player it was called from.  For daiminkan claims from toimen, or the player across, it does not matter which "middle" tile is turned sideways, as long as it is one of the middle tiles.
* {{#mjt:4'444s}} (from [[Jikaze|kamicha]], left)
* {{#mjt:99'99p}} or {{#mjt:999'9m}} (from [[Jikaze|toimen]], across)
* {{#mjt:6666'z}} (from [[Jikaze|shimocha]], right)
=== Added ===
Shouminkan are indicated as open tile groups, by stacking the added tile above the rotated tile from the original minkou.
* {{#mjt:1"11s}} (from kamicha, left)
* {{#mjt:88"8p}} (from toimen, across)
* {{#mjt:505"m}} (from shimocha, right)

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]], if the rules allow.
