We calculate evolution, explosion and nucleosynthesis of 1000$M_{\odot}$ stars. Even such massive stars may explode at the end of their lives if they rotate. We use a 2 dimensional hydrodynamical code to take aspherisity by the effect of rotation into account. Our results show that (1) abundance pattern of ejected matter by explosion is consistent with observational data of intracluster medium gas and M82 hot gas, (2) such massive stars can supply more efficient UV photons to re-ionize HI, HeI and HeII than ordinary massive stars (less than 100 solar-masses) and (3) final black hole mass is 500 solar-mass, which is consistent of the mass scale of intermediate-mass black hole (IHBH) found in M82.
