Aperture Masking Interferometry used in combination with Adaptive Optics, is a powerful technique that permits the detection of faint companions at small angular separations. The precision calibration of the data achieved with this observing mode indeed leads to reliable results up to and beyond the formal diffraction limit, explaining why it has, in just a few years, been ported on most major telescopes. In this poster, we present its possible implementation on Subaru. We also discuss how the opportunity offered by the planned Extreme-AO upgrade to HiCIAO will push further the performance of this already successful technique, offering Subaru a unique access to a very exciting region of the "contrast-ratio - angular separation" parameter space.
