In this contribution, we review our efforts toward understanding the typical mass-scale of primordial stars. Our direct numerical simulations show that, in both of Population III.1 and III.2 cases, strong UV stellar radiative feedback terminatesmass accretion onto a protostar. An HII region formed around the protostar expands very dynamically into the accreting envelope, and cuts off the gas supply to a circumstellar disk. The disk is exposed to the stellar UV radiation and loses its mass by photoevaporation. The derived final masses are 43 M⊙ and 17 M⊙ in our fiducial Population III.1 and III.2 cases. Much more massive stars, however, should form in other exceptional conditions. In atomic-cooling halos where H2 molecules are dissociated, for instance, a protostar grows via very rapid mass accretion with the rates M*∼0.1-1M⊙yr−1. Our new stellar evolution calculations show that the protostar significantly inflates and never contracts to reach the zero-agemain-sequence stage in this case. Such "supergiant ...
