I would like to present our current status on "Numerical Simulations of Collapsars". I would like to show the simulations of the central engine of Long Gamma-Ray Bursts by the General Relativistic MHD code (Nagataki ApJ 2009). Especially, I would like to show that a strong jet is launched from a rapidly rotating black hole. I would like to show how the jet is collimated, which determines the opening angle of the jet (Nagataki PASJ 2010). Also, I would like to show the simulations of propagation of a relativistic GRB jet and thermal emission from its photosphere, which may be related GRB090902B that showed a clear two-component spectrum (Mizuta, Nagataki, Aoi ApJ 2011).
