We give a review on possible starburst-AGN (active galactic nuclei) connections from high redshift to the present day. First, we give a historical review on some basic ideas related to the starburst-AGN connection published in the literature. Second, we focus our attention to the so-called Magorrian relation which is the close relationship between the nuclear black hole mass and the bulge mass, established in nearby galaxies. If the Magorrian relation is universal, we obtain an important implication that any supermassive black holes were made through successive merging processes of starburst remnants (i.e., neutron stars and stellar-sized black holes), providing a channel of the starburst-AGN connection. Third, we briefly discuss a possible new scenario for the formation of quasar nuclei at very high redshift based on an idea that the successive mergers of starburst remnants formed in subgalactic gaseous clouds.
