We present the initial design of a very large liquid scintillator detector to be installed in the underground cavity where Kamiokande used to be. The experiment will be optimized to detect low-energy anti-neutrinos and it will perform unique measurements in the fields of neutrino physics, geophysics, and astrophysics. KamLAND is conceived as a ``scalable'' detector that will be able to start in a very short time to deliver results on a number of essential physics issues that only require present day technology. This first running period will also establish backgrounds and detector requirements for a second ultra-low background running phase. One of the initial aims will be to perform a very long baseline oscillation experiment using a large number of nuclear reactors in Japan. This can be considered the ``ultimate'' neutrino mass test using the oscillation technique. The observation of neutrinos from the Earth, supernovae, atmosphere and nucleon decay will also be part of a very ambitious initial program, while in a later stage the observation of solar and supernova neutrinos will become the main focus.
