Abstract: We present an on-going near-infrared survey of proto-clusters around high-z radio-loud galaxies at 2 ≤ z ≤ 3 with a new wide-field instrument MOIRCS on Subaru. Most of these field are known to show a large number of Lyα and/or Hα emitters at the same redshifts of the radio galaxies. We see a clear excess of near-infrared selected galaxies (JHKs-selected galaxies as well as DRG) in these fields, and they are indeed proto-clusters with not only young emitters but also evolved populations. Spatial distribution of such NIR selected galaxies is filamentary and track similar structures traced by the emitters. There is an hint that the bright-end of the red sequence first appeared between z = 3 and 2.
