There are a good handful of characters on the server from Kara-Tur, but Korobokuru is not a playable subrace of dwarf currently.

Korobokuru are one of my favourite dwarven subraces personally and would love to see them made playable.

Per pg 11 of the 3e Campaign Setting book Oriental Adventures, this is their subrace information:



ATTRIBUTES:

Size:
Small

Base Speed: Land 20

Strength: +0

Intelligence: −2

Dexterity: +0

Wisdom: +0

Constitution: +2

Charisma: +0

Level adjustment: +0
Automatic languages: Common , Dwarven

Bonus Languages: Giant , Goblin , Hengeyokai , Sylvan

RACIAL TRAITS:


Small: As Small creatures, korobokurus gain a +1 size bonus to Armor Class, a +1 size bonus on attack rolls, and a +4 size bonus on Hide checks, but they must use smaller weapons than humans use, and their lifting and carrying limits are three-quarters of those of Medium-size characters.

Darkvision: Korobokurus can see in the dark up to 60 feet. Darkvision is black and white only, but it is otherwise like normal sight, and korobokurus can function just fine with no light at all.

  • +2 racial bonus on saving throws against poison: Korobokurus are hardy and resistant to toxins.
  • +2 racial bonus on saving throws against spells and spell-like effects.
  • +1 racial bonus on attack rolls against goblinoids (goblins, hobgoblins, bugbears, bakemono, and goblin rats): Korobokurus are trained in the special combat techniques that allow them to fight their common enemies more effectively.
  • +4 dodge bonus against giants: This bonus represents special training that korobokurus undergo, during which they learn tricks that previous generations developed in their battles with ogres. Note that any time a character loses his positive Dexterity bonus to Armor Class, such as when he's caught flat-footed, he loses his dodge bonus, too.
  • +2 racial bonus on Wilderness Lore checks: Korobokurus are familiar with the wild lands in which they dwell.


Oriental Adventures is Rokugan rather than Kara-Tur, but the overall description of the race in the book is near identical to their description in the 2e Eastern Realms box set from TSR inc.

So, with it not presently being a subrace that can be chosen, at least, if you'd like to play one, feel free to put through an Exotic Race Request in the proper section of the forums. If uncertain of how to go about doing so, however, we have a nicely laid out page that goes through it all, along with the full form template to fill out for a corresponding application.
