contents We propose a leptogenesis scenario where baryon asymmetry generation is assisted by the kinetic motion of the majoron, $J$, in the process of lepton-number violating inverse decays of a right-handed neutrino, $N$. We investigate two distinct scenarios depending on the sources of majoron kinetic motion: 1) the misalignment mechanism, and 2) the kinetic misalignment mechanism. The former case can naturally generate the observed baryon asymmetry for the majoron mass $m_J \gtrsim \,{\rm TeV}$ and the right-handed neutrino's mass $M_{N} \gtrsim 10^{11}\,{\rm GeV}$. However, an additional decay channel of the majoron is required to avoid the overclosure problem of the majoron oscillation. The later scenario works successfully for $m_J \lesssim 100\,{\rm keV}$, and $M_{N} \lesssim 10^9\,{\rm GeV}$ while $M_N$ can be even far below the temperature of the electroweak phase transition as long as sufficiently large kinetic misalignment is provided. We also find that a sub-$100\,{\rm keV}$ majoron is a viable candidate for dark matter.
