Belle status and prospects

We review the current status and the future perspectives of the Belle experiment and KEKB asymmetric e+e- collider. Thanks to many efforts of Belle collaborators and KEKB accelerator staffs, we could accumulate a 41.8 fb-1 data by the end of 2001 (more than 80 fb-1 data by the end of summer, 2002), also the KEKB recorded the highest peak luminosity (7.35 x 1033 cm-2s-1) in the world. Furthermore, the Super KEKB project is being proposed not only to extract the CP violation parameters and moduluses of the CKM matrix with high accuracy, but also to search for B rare decays and explore beyond the Standard Model
