Offer for Backers:
- Back gadget, product, and creative projects (electronics, outdoor gear, games, music, and more) in exchange for the item or reward the creator sets.
- Kibidango Circle offers ongoing pre-order-style restocks of past successful projects after their campaigns end, and Kibidango Store sells finished products from past campaigns directly.
- Funding is All-or-Nothing; some payment methods (e.g. Paidy) only charge backers once a project succeeds, so nothing is charged upfront on projects that don’t reach their goal.
Offer for Fundraisers:
- Kibidango advertises an 80% project success rate and describes its fee as the lowest among Japan’s major platforms.
- The platform doubles as an e-commerce channel: successful projects can keep selling through Kibidango Store and Kibidango Circle after the campaign ends.
- Its largest single project to date (ViXion01, an autofocus eyewear device) raised ≈¥425 million — one of the largest reward-crowdfunding results on record in Japan.
Backing is open to anyone able to complete Kibidango’s registration and payment process; a separate onboarding page (“Interested in Japan?”) suggests some accommodation for overseas backers, though the core site is Japanese-only
Backers: No platform fee stated beyond the pledge amount and payment-method charges.
Fundraisers: ≈10% of funds raised, achieved-only, per third-party comparisons — the lowest among Japan’s major reward-crowdfunding platforms (vs. ~17% at CAMPFIRE or READYFOR’s Full Support plan).
