| Abstract;Typhoon 14 passed through Kyushu from 6 to 7 September 2005, and seriously damaged Kagoshima, Miyazaki, Oita and nearby countries. Thick rain cloud stayed on the east side of the Kyushu Mountains, which was located on the right of the moving direction of the Typhoon, generating record-making precipitation over 1300 mm. The Oyodo River and some other rivers flooded in many places, landslides and debris flows attacked houses or isolated villages in mountainous countries. Evacuation orders or recommendations were issued to tens of thousands people. Five people were killed on top of alluvial cones by debris flows and at a foot of a steep slope of Shirasu in Tarumizu city, Kagoshima Prefecture. Five very large landslides occurred in the upstream of the Mimi River, temporarily damming the river. These landslides occurred on slopes that had been deformed gravitationally before the event.
