All four of the triplets must be concealed for this hand to be counted as a yakuman.  [[Naki|Tile calls]] of [[kan|closed kans]] are acceptable, as the closed kan also counts as a closed triplet.  The difficulty of this yakuman stems from the need to draw at least 3 out of 4 of a single tile type, for four different tile types.  [[Nak|Discard calling]] to attain tiles immediately removes any chance of forming this yakuman.

With a [[shanpon]] wait, one of the pairs is upgraded into a triplet.  If this method of completion is done by discard, then that fourth triplet is considered to be "open".  So instead of yakuman, the hand would instead be counted as a combination of [[toitoi]] and [[sanankou]], at least.
