We present LiteBIRD, a satellite project dedicated for the detection of the CMB B-mode polarization. The purpose of LiteBIRD is to measure the tensor-to-scalar ratio [Formula: see text] with a precision of [Formula: see text] to test large-single-field slow-roll inflation models by scanning all the sky area for three years at the sun-earth L2 with the sensitivity of 3.2[Formula: see text]K⋅arcmin. We report an overview and the status of the project, including the ongoing detector and systematic studies.
