Short answer
Before paying a site in another country, it’s fair to ask who is behind it. This page sets out what myfans.jp itself publishes: the company, its address, its legal notices, its age rules and how money moves. Everything comes from MyFans’ own pages, checked on 9 October 2026. For the creator-side rules, see Is MyFans safe?.
Who runs MyFans
MyFans’ terms of use, privacy policy and legal notice all name the same operator: 株式会社Rise (Rise Inc.). The legal notice is the page that Japanese online sellers publish under the Specified Commercial Transactions Act (特定商取引法に基づく表記, at myfans.jp/trade).
| Item | What myfans.jp says | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Operator | 株式会社Rise (Rise Inc.) | Terms, privacy policy, legal notice |
| Address | 東京都渋谷区広尾 1-6-10 Giraffa 11F (Hiroo, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo) | Legal notice |
| Contact | A web contact form. A phone number is listed, but MyFans says it doesn’t take calls because staff work remotely | Legal notice |
| Adult video business notification | 映像送信型性風俗特殊営業届出: 千葉県公安委員会 第121号 (Chiba Prefectural Public Safety Commission, No. 121) | Legal notice |
| Governing law and court | Japanese law; Tokyo Summary Court or Tokyo District Court for disputes | Terms |
| Terms history | In force since 13 June 2021; latest revision listed 1 October 2026 | Terms |
映像送信型性風俗特殊営業 is a category of business defined in Article 2(8) of Japan’s Act on Control and Improvement of Amusement Business (風営法): broadly, transmitting sexual video online. MyFans’ terms cite that article and define creators (主催者) as users who have filed the same type of notification.
Note that MyFans (myfans.jp) is not the same as similarly named services in other countries; see myfans.jp vs my.fans.
Age rules
MyFans’ terms say people under 18 can’t use the service. Its help centre adds that 18-year-olds who are still in high school can’t use it either.
Creators go through identity checks before they can post or withdraw earnings. MyFans’ registration article says the name, address and date of birth entered must exactly match the ID document, and that an outside eKYC service checks for forged or altered IDs. MyFans may ask 18-year-old creators for proof such as a graduation certificate.
How the money works
Fans pay for creators’ plans and posts through MyFans. Under its terms, creators authorise MyFans to receive payments on their behalf, and MyFans adds a purchase fee at checkout. Prices are in yen; MyFans’ terms say the yen amount doesn’t change if exchange rates move.
What MyFans says about payment safety: you must verify a phone number before paying; fans pay through the payment services MyFans specifies; its privacy policy says it passes information to payment processors only as needed to provide the service; and its help centre says card details are deleted when an account is deleted. We haven’t found more technical detail on MyFans’ own pages, so we don’t claim more.
The payment methods MyFans lists are Visa, Mastercard and JCB cards, BitCash, and three Japanese pay-later services. PayPal isn’t one of them; see PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Refunds and support
MyFans’ legal notice says that, because of the nature of the service, contracts can’t be cancelled once made, there is no cooling-off period, and fees paid aren’t returned for any reason. Its help centre describes the specific cases in more detail, and our refunds guide goes through them. The practical lesson: check what a plan includes and when it renews before you pay.
For account or payment problems, MyFans directs you to the contact form on its help centre. Official messages from MyFans inside the site appear under the 運営事務局 (MyFans office) tab of your Messages screen. You can report a post that breaks the rules with the “…” menu on the post.
Red flags to avoid
| Red flag | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| A login or payment page that isn’t on myfans.jp | MyFans’ terms define its website as myfans.jp. Look-alike domains are separate services or worse. |
| “Leaked” or “uncensored” copies of MyFans posts | Reposts made without the creator’s permission infringe their rights, and MyFans runs a report form for them. Such sites can also carry malware. |
| Someone asking you to pay them directly, outside MyFans | Off-platform payments aren’t covered by MyFans’ rules or its support. |
| Third parties offering to pay or top up for you | MyFans lists its own payment methods only. You’d be handing money or your login to a stranger. |
| Coupons from unofficial sources | MyFans warns that coupons not obtained through its own announcements may not be valid. |
| An app store app called “MyFans” | MyFans’ help centre describes using myfans.jp in a browser and doesn’t describe an iPhone or Android app. |

Can I phone MyFans?
MyFans lists a phone number in its legal notice but says it doesn’t take calls, because staff work remotely. Use the contact form on support.myfans.jp.
