Kukuku Nìmíngbǎn(Anonymous Board) (kukuku匿名版), also called Kukuku or Kudǎo (ku岛, lit. “Ku Island”), was a Chinese bulletin board that was initially founded by “Guāngqūzi” (光驱子) on March 6, 2015. The website reset in 2018, since it was just an Adao Nimingban clone, then shuttered in 2024.

The first iteration of Kukuku was an AC Nimingban clone that the former administrator, “Guāngqūzi” (光驱子), established at “h.koukuko.com” on March 6, 2015, as the Adao Nimingban rebrand had stability issues. The domain was later changed to “kukuku.cc” on May 1, 2015,¹⁾ where it was viewed as a way to continue offering user-facing anonymity, but they were later asked to delete the borrowed data around 2018.

Around October 11, 2018, the second iteration of Kukuku would launch at “kukuku.club” using Fikaba,²⁾ but it later switched to Lainchan on January 12, 2019.³⁾ Due to domain problems, they would end up moving to “kukuku.uk” around 2020, then moved to “kukuku.fun” around 2022. The website suddenly ceased to exist on March 26, 2024,⁴⁾ with all domains being parked or released.

• The first iteration of Kukuku didn't have a name, so it was tentatively dubbed 'Guāngqūdǎo' (光驱岛) after its founder, 'Guāngqūzi' (光驱子). Older translations used 'Optical Drive' or 'CD-ROM'.
• At some point, Kukuku allegedly blocked Chinese browsers, so it was recommended to browse Kukuku from non-Chinese browsers like Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, or Safari.
• When it was active, the flag counter suggests that half of the users came from Greater China, followed by the United States, Japan, Singapore, etc. However, this does not factor in possible VPN use.
• For some reason, it became a base for 'anti-establishment' nihilists, often dubbed 'Shenshen', and their excessive emoji usage comes from the subculture's 'abstractism' (抽象话, chōuxiànghuà/).
• The current refuges are Endchan's /freekukuku/ and 8kun's /freekukuku/. Be advised that these boards are 'unmoderated' to a certain degree, so a lot of trolling or shock images may be left up.
