We propose the Hyper-Kamiokande (Hyper-K) detector as a next generation underground water Cherenkov detector. It will serve as a far detector of a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment envisioned for the upgraded J-PARC, and as a detector capable of observing -- far beyond the sensitivity of the Super-Kamiokande (Super-K) detector -- proton decays, atmospheric neutrinos, and neutrinos from astronomical origins. The baseline design of Hyper-K is based on the highly successful Super-K, taking full advantage of a well-proven technology. (to be continued)

Letter of Intent: The Precision IceCube Next Generation Upgrade (PINGU) (2014, unknown): “Finally, the Hyper-K sensitivity is from [25].”
JUNO physics and detector (2021, background): “The relatively large value of θ13 has provided excellent opportunities to resolve the NMO in various neutrino oscillation experiments, which include a medium baseline (∼50 km) reactor antineutrino ν̄e → ν̄e oscillation experiment (JUNO), long-baseline accelerator (anti-)neutrino νμ → νe oscillation ”
Current unknowns in the three-neutrino framework (2018, background): “Such topics will become even more crucial in the future, to make the best possible use of high-statistics data coming from new-generation projects [184] such as PINGU [185, 186], KM3NeT-ORCA [187], Hyper-Kamiokande [188] and INO [189].”
KM3MeT 2.0 Letter of intent for ARCA and ORCA (2016, methodology): “Experiments like Super-Kamiokande and the proposed Hyper-Kamiokande have indeed mainly focused on the electron neutrino channel, because of the good resolutions they can achieve for this topology in the few GeV energy range [111,165].”
Letter of intent for KM3NeT 2.0 (2016, methodology): “In atmospheric experiments, such as ICAL at INO [109], Hyper-Kamiokande [110], PINGU [111] and ORCA, both channels are important due to the much longer baselines providing stronger matter effects.”
