Keywords:Hayabusa2, Ryugu, Asteroids

When the spacecraft Hayabusa2 arrived at Ryugu in June 2019, it was a really unknown asteroid. However, after a year and half of remote-sensing observations, twice of touchdowns, and an artificial impact experiment, we know so much more details of asteroid Ryugu, from its birth to the present state. In this talk, I present our up-to-date results of Hayabusa2 data analysis and prospect for sample analysis.
