Check

Check a campaign before you back

Run any Japanese crowdfunding campaign through this independent checklist — even ones we don't list. It flags the risks and tells you exactly what to verify before you pledge.

We host no campaigns and take no fee — this is on your side, not the platform's.

Who's behind it

CriticalThe creator is a real, named person or company with a verifiable track record.

The creator answers comments and posts honest activity updates.

Is it real

CriticalFor a physical product: there are photos/video of a real, working unit (not just CG renders).

Specs, size, materials and what's included are described concretely.

Is the plan realistic

A delivery date is stated, and it feels realistic.

The creator is honest about manufacturing/operational risks.

Do you understand the terms

You understand the funding model (All-or-Nothing vs All-in) and what happens if it misses the goal.

You've checked price, shipping and extra costs (for overseas: customs, voltage, certification, warranty).

Is it right for you

CriticalYou understand this is support for an attempt — not a guaranteed purchase.

CriticalYour pledge is an amount you'd be okay with even if it's late — or never arrives.

Answer every item to see your check result.

This is a decision aid, not a guarantee. KAKEHASHI hosts no campaigns and never takes your pledge — back on the official platform, and the final call is yours.
