The M6. 8 Mid-Niigata Prefecture earthquake, occurred at an epicentral depth of 13 km near Ojiya city in Niigata Prefecture at 17: 56 on 23 October 2004. 362 landslides with widths of more than 50 m and 12 large-scale landslides with individual volumes of more than 1 million cubic meters were triggered by the earthquake (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport 2005). The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) of Japan organized the 2004 Mid-Niigata Prefecture Earthquake Disaster Investigation Team funded by the MEXT Special Coordinating Fund for Science and Technology. The investigation consisted of four themes,(1) earthquake disasters,(2) landslide disasters,(3) underground structure disasters, and (4) integrated research. Theme 2: Landslide Disaster Investigation Team (Team leader: Kyoji Sassa) consisted scientists/engineers from the Disaster Prevention Research Institute (Kyoto University), the Research Institute of Industry Science (University of Tokyo), the Research Institute for Hazards of Snowy areas (Niigata University), the Geographical Survey Research Institute, the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention, the Forestry and Forest Products Institute, the National Institute for Rural Engineering, the Public Works Research Institute, and the National Research Institute of Fire and Disaster. In this report, the outline of landslide disasters is reported by Sassa as the team leader of Theme 2: Landslide disasters; and the influence of rainfall before the earthquake is reported by Kenji Okada of the Japan Meteorological Agency; and emergency measures undertaken are reported by Hideaki Marui of Niigata University. Other investigations on specified aspects conducted as a part of Theme 2 are reported as independent reports in this issue of Landslides (Hirata et al. 2005; Konagai 2005; Nakasato and Konishi 2005; Sassa et al. 2005; Sato et al. 2005). Locations of selected landslides triggered by the Mid-Niigata Prefecture earthquake are shown in Fig. 1.
