Is kimochi.info legit or a scam?
A decade-old adult gaming piracy site with a mixed reputation, flagged by multiple security engines for potential malware risks.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

MT Intelligence
The domain has been active for over 10 years, which usually suggests a level of stability not seen in typical scam sites. However, our antivirus network shows detections from Chong Lua Dao, alphaMountain.ai, and Gridinsoft, which flag the site as malicious or suspicious. The platform operates in a high-risk niche—distributing pirated adult software—where malware is frequently bundled with downloads. While community feedback on forums like Reddit and F95zone is generally positive regarding the content, security aggregators give it very low trust scores due to these technical detections. The lack of any verifiable business registration or contact information further complicates its legitimacy.
Web Research Findings
Our live research agent queries scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, news coverage, and general web search for kimochi.info, then cross-checks business-registration records and look-alike domain patterns. Everything below is pulled from what it actually found.

Safety FAQ
Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.
- Our automated security review marked kimochi.info as suspicious. Several warning signs were detected; it may still turn out legitimate, but you should verify it through independent channels before trusting it with money or credentials.
- kimochi.info currently scores 55/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend caution. Verify the site through independent channels before entering credentials or money.
- Yes. kimochi.info presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE2, expiring in 74 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
- kimochi.info is 10.8 years old, registered on 9/20/2015 through NameSilo, LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

- No. kimochi.info is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
- kimochi.info resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
- This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 30, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around kimochi.info have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
