We present deep optical imaging observations of 2 square degree area, covered by the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS), made by the prime-focus Camera (Supreme-Cam) on the 8.2m Subaru Telescope. Observations were done in six broad-band [B (4459.7 AA), g' (4723.1 AA), V (5483.8 AA), r' (6213.0 AA), i' (7640.8 AA), z' (8855.0 AA)], and one narrow-band (NB816) filters. A total of 10^6 galaxies were detected to i'~26.5 mag. These data, combined with observations at u* and K-band are used to construct the photometric catalogs for the COSMOS and to measure their photometric redshifts, multi-band spectral energy distributions, stellar masses and identification of high redshift candidates. This catalog provides multi-waveband data for scientific analysis of the COSMOS survey.
