As it is said in the title, can you play the KID against any fianchetto openings? By that I mean against the Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack, King's Fianchetto, and any other similar openings.

Well, yes, technically. You can basically play it against almost anything. The only problem is that in the Nimzowitsch-Larsen, they can take your knight and damage your structure.

(White plays a few random moves in some lines because I don’t actually know the Nimzowitsch-Larsen or the King’s Fianchetto)

I would recommend switching your repertoire based on what your opponent plays. This is completely fine, however.
