"Kan" is a bit special; as shown in the picture: You have 4 of the same tile in your hand (※１) You have 3 of the same tile in your hand and another player discards the fourth (※２) You draw the 4th copy of a tile which you called via pon earlier (※３) are the times when you can declare "kan". In all cases, after declaring kan, you draw 1 rinshanhai from the wanpai, then discard 1 tile from your hand.
