We report the results obtained so far from our systematic survey of Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) at z ˜ 5. We found more than 600 LBG candidates down to I({AB})=26.5. The UV luminosity function of LBGs shows little change from z ˜ 3 to z ˜ 5 at the brighter part, and the number density of faint LBGs decreases at z ˜ 5. Follow-up optical spectroscopy and K-band imaging of sample LBGs clarified that they have experienced intense star formation until z = 5. We describe some implications for the evolution of LBGs.
