Kokonotsuba promotional image

Kokonotsuba is a proprietary imageboard software developed by kuz for use on his websites[1]. Originally a fork of pixmicat[1], the software has been modified so heavily that in 2021, kuz declared that it was its own independent software. It was released on March 14th, 2021. 9channels 16th birthday.[1]

The name Kokonotsuba was originally suggested by an anonymous StrawberryHeaven user on November 7th, 2020, in a thread titled "New Software Name Suggestions Thread".[2]

If you want to stick with "number of leaves on a plant" naming convention (e.g. Futaba (2 leaves), Yotsuba (4 leaves)), Kokonotsuba would be the "9 leaves" variation

According to KolymaNET's official website:

The name "Kokonotsuba" was chosen after the long-lasting tradition of naming imageboard software after the number of leaves on a plant (e.g. Futaba). "9 leaves" was chosen because of 9channel, the genesis of KolymaNET.[1]

Kokonotsuba is known for being slow, although it is mostly bugless with a few exceptions. It notably has several unique features such as trip-mail, a dating feature, built in polls, and more. Although none of this is enabled on Heyuri.

Kuz has defended his choice of keeping the software closed source by saying

You think just because somethings open source means people will contribute? [...] Kokonotsuba may not be the fastest but its definitely special, it has alot of cool features which make the boards that use it unique. The fact only a select few sites can use it contributes to those sites value in a special way. [...] If it was open source, it'd lose so much charm. Its ours. We can build it for ourselves.
