Well, yes, kiten has quite a few memory leaks, I patched some of the obvious
ones, and I'm about to send the patches upstream, but, since I don't use
kiten, know japanese, etc I testing it quite blindfoldedly (launch
with valgrind run a search, close it see the valgrind results). And it would
be better if you could test the patched kiten.

I uploaded the patched package to my personal test repo, here:
http://maxy.com.ar/debian/pool/main/k/kiten/kiten_4.11.3-2~.dsc

You can download the source code with dget, check that is the same as
distributed by upstream, review the patches, and build it, or you can use
the precompiled packages for amd64.

Thanks,
