Abstract	Recent results now suggest that flavor physics could be an alternative path to breaking the Standard Model of particle physics. I will review the startup of Belle II and SuperKEKB, which began in April 2018, as well as the the long term physics program of Belle II. Belle II will soon become the leading experiment for exploration of the physics of B mesons, D mesons and tau leptons.
