MAXI observed 14 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and short X-ray transients in the first year. Among these 5 events were confirmed by simultaneous detections by other satellites. This number is slightly higher than that expected before the launch. It may be due to MAXI's unique capability to observe low-energy portion of GRBs below 10 keV. In fact, about a half of the observed events have soft spectra, which may be classified into X-ray flashes or X-ray rich GRBs. Another remarkable feature of MAXI is that it can cover about 85% of the whole sky every 92 minutes. This feature enables us to survey not only X-ray afterglows but also pre-burst emissions of the well-localized bursts observed by other satellites. We present the results of analyses of gamma-ray bursts and short X-ray transients from the first year observations of MAXI.
