contents Spin-selective band splitting without net magnetization and spin-orbit couplings serves for a next-generation spin-current generator, and its typical platforms are altermagnets and compensated ferrimagnets as well, where the existence of a crystal asymmetry or nonequivalent sites is essential. Here, we theoretically demonstrate that such a splitting can be realized in a triple-{\bf Q} 12-sublattice state emerging in a $J_3$-dominant kagome antiferromagnet, without the help of the crystal asymmetry. Reflecting the multi-sublattice nature, a local magnetization reveals a fully compensated ferrimagnetic pattern in units of a triangle plaquette, leading to $s$-wave-type spin splittings in magnon and electron bands. This enables an atiferromagnetic spin Seebeck effect at zero field in insulating systems and filling-controlled polarized states in metallic systems, highlighting the potential of frustrated magnets to realize novel spintronics functionalities.
