We have manufactured a near infrared camera named coronagraphic imager with adaptive optics; CIAO mounted on the Cassegrain focus of the Subaru 8m telescope. CIAO is a high resolution and high dynamic range camera optimized for detection of faint objects around bright source. Combining with a 36 element AO, CIAO can produce nearly diffraction limited image at K band. Using CIAO's coronagraph, the limiting magnitude differences at 1" separation from the central star of 8.4 mag at 5σ and 10 minutes integration time can be obtained. CIAO currently has a half-wave plate and a wire-grid polarizer for measurement of linear polarization at JHK band. An interesting result of imaging-polarimetry of a C-rich late type star IRC+10216 will be presented.
