The AKARI (formerly known as ASTRO-F) mission is the first Japanese satellite mission dedicated for large area surveys in the infrared. The 68.5~cm aperture telescope and scientific instruments are cooled to 6K by liquid Helium and mechanical coolers. AKARI will make the most advanced all-sky survey in 6 mid- to far-infrared wavebands. Deep imaging and spectroscopic surveys with pointed observations will also be carried out in 13 wavelength bands from 2-160~μm. AKARI is a perfect complement to Spitzer in respect of its wide sky and wavelength coverage. Unique characteristics of the all-sky survey as well as the planned deep pointing surveys near the ecliptic poles are introduced. AKARI will be a diagnostic tool of the galaxy evolution: for example, finding rare objects through the all-sky survey, studying the fluctuations of the cosmic infrared background, diagnosing the silicate and PAH features in the mid-infrared spectra of the galaxies at various redshifts.
