The direct imaging of exoplanets and protoplanetary disks in the optical and infrared wavelengths is generally difficult due to bright central stars. To overcome these difficulties, we started the SEEDS project in 2009 to 2015 by utilizing new high-contrast instrument HiCIAO and new adaptive optics AO188 in Subaru. During the SEEDS project, we discovered planetary mass companions and complicated structures in disks. After SEEDS, we utilized new integral field spectroscopy CHARIS and new extreme adaptive optics SCExAO to expand our planet/disk survey. In my review, I will overview the SEEDS project and show new results with SCExAO/CHARIS. Finally, I will discuss future large programs in Subaru based on upgrade plans of SCExAO/CHARIS.
