Kiminori Kobo

Japan distribution for independent developer tools · Tokyo

Kiminori Kobo is run by a software engineer based in Tokyo. We help small software vendors sell to Japanese developers and companies by removing the three things that usually stop a purchase in Japan: no Japanese documentation, no Japanese support, and no way to pay by invoice.

What we provide

For vendors

  • Japanese product page, installation guide and FAQ, written and maintained by us
  • First-line support in Japanese; escalation to you only when needed
  • JPY invoicing and bank transfer for Japanese companies, with monthly remittance and reporting
  • Consolidated feedback and bug reports from Japanese users

For Japanese customers

  • 日本語の製品説明・導入手順・FAQ
  • 日本語でのサポート窓口
  • 請求書払い（銀行振込）での購入
  • 複数ライセンスの一括購入
