The SuperKamiokande detector is a 50 kton ring imaging water Cherenkov detector located underground in Japan. It is the successor experiment to the proton decay experiments Kamiokande and IMB, exceeding both in size and resolution. These experiments have measured an anomaly in the ratio of muon and electron flavored atmospheric neutrinos that may be an indication of massive neutrino mixing. I will present the analysis of 25.5 kton-years of Super-Kamiokande data, and discuss the consistency of the data with neutrino oscillation.
