Abstract
Recent results on CP-violation measurements in B decays from energy-asymmetric B-factory experiments are reported. Thanks to large accumulated data samples, CP-violations in B decays in mixing-decay interference and direct CP-violation are now firmly established. The measurements of three angles of the unitarity triangle from CP-violations of B decays are quite consistent with the Standard Model expectations. These results strongly support the validity of the Kobayashi-Maskawa prescription of CP-violation.
