The Resistive Plate Counters(RPC) have been provided for K/sub L//sup 0/ and muon detection in the BELLE experiment at KEK. The glass RPCs have been extensively tested using single cosmic-ray muons. We report on the performance of the endcap RPC with emphasis on detection efficiency and multiple hits of readout strips.
