Source rupture processes of 2016 Kumamoto earthquake

The 2016 Kumamoto earthquake sequence started with an MJMA 6.5 foreshock occurring along the northern part of the Hinagu fault, central Kyushu, Japan, and the MJMA 7.3 mainshock occurred just 28 h after the foreshock. Asano and Iwata (2016) analyzed the source rupture processes of the foreshock and mainshock by using the kinematic waveform inversion technique on strong motion data. The spatial relationship between the rupture areas of the foreshock and mainshock implies a complex fault structure in this region.
