Abstract The development of superconducting RF gun has been started at KEK. The performance targets are that average current is 100 mA, normalized emittance is less than 1 μm.rad, beam energy is 2 MeV and energy spread is less than 0.1 %. The SRF gun consists of 1.3 GHz and 1.5 cell elliptical cavity and backward illuminated photocathode. The cavity shape was designed by using SUPERFISH and GPT. The cavity has been fabricated by Japanese industry. Accelerating field tuning and vertical test without cathode plug was done. The surface peak electric field reached 66 MV/m, and this meet the target value 42 MV/m sufficiently. For next vertical test, cathode rod without photocathode is in preparation. In the workshop, the SRF-Gun concepts and vertical test results will be reported.
