We have performed a search for the K$^{0}_{L} \rightarrow\pi^{0}\nu\bar{\nu}$ decay with the KOTO detector at J-PARC. The KOTO detectorwas designed to observe the decay and measure its branching ratio (BR).Focusing on this golden decay in quark flavor physics provides an idealcandidate to probe for physics beyond the standard model (BSM). The establishedexperimental upper limit of the branching ratio was set by the KEK E391acollaboration at 2.6 x 10$^{-8}$. This is still well above the standard modelvalue of the branching ratio, which is predicted to be 2.43 x 10$^{-11}$ withminor uncertainties. The important signal is a pair of photons from the$\pi^{0}$ decay and no coincident signals from veto counters. This along with alarge discernible transverse momentum provides us with unique signature. KOTOuses a Cesium Iodide (CsI) electromagnetic calorimeter as the main photondetector and hermetic veto counters to ensure that there are no other de-tected particles. This proceeding summarizes a presentation that discussedachievements, improvements to the detector, detailed the current analysisstatus for 2015 data, and future prospects.
