The story

What people said
Didn't know that was even a thing.
Guess I'll be Team Koki, then.
and boom, instant win!
What a cheap trick.
Elevator shoes, just like dad. Sneaky lifts really do run in the family.
Yeah, I've heard her plenty of times on TV Asahi's "Untitled Concert" (a classical music program).
so why did she suddenly lose it and go ballistic over this one?
Probably some hater with iffy genes of their own who snapped at the word "genes" and is now desperately trying to stoke the flames.
Pick a fight with her on Instagram and she'll hit back tenfold.
The droopy eyes, droopy eyebrows, and stubborn streak are all very Shizuka (her mother).
Cocomi's an otaku, but she snaps at internet users a lot.
Even though she's the one who edits photos? lol
Huh?
No no, come on…lol
I'm asking why this daughter of Kimutaku, who photoshops nonstop, is flustered and shaking with rage over this.
Lol, someone really got hit hard by that "genes" comment.
Ignore whatever people say, keep quietly putting in the work,
and only once the years pass and people naturally come to recognize you does it actually carry any weight.
Gets better engagement, doesn't it.
Whether she edits her photos or not is her own business —
she could've just ignored it.
Background and Talking Points
Accusations of photo editing follow celebrities constantly on social media, and claims about slimmed-down legs or a smaller face are nothing new. What stood out this time was that Cocomi herself fired back directly, and many on the thread voiced support for her “firm stance.” At the same time, a skeptical view persisted, since the sisters’ posts have drawn editing accusations before, prompting some to ask, “isn’t denying it now a bit contradictory?” Having famous parents — father Takuya Kimura and mother Shizuka Kudo — only amplifies this dynamic, since the sisters’ every move tends to get read either generously or critically, and this episode played out along exactly those lines.
