Ginga observed the following black-hole candidates: Cyg X-1, LMC X-1, LMC X-3, GX339-4, GS2000+25 and GS2023+39. Observed properties about Quasi-Periodic Oscillation (QPO) and time variation of these black hole candidates are presented. The observed properties of the time variations of GX 339-4 and LMC X-1 suggest that the energy spectrum is composed of a soft and a hard component. The hard component of GX339-4 has two states. Rapid alternations of these states suggest that the size of the hard component emitting region is less than 2.8 times 10 to the 9th power cm. Significant time lags of high energy and also low energy X-rays in reference to the X-rays in the energy range between 2.3 keV were found. Cyg X-1 and GS2023+339 do not show QPO but they show violent time variation. These sources also show hard X-ray lags.
