From Wikipedia

The H-IIB (H2B) was a Japanese expendable launch system jointly developed by JAXA and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. It was used exclusively to launch the H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV, or Kōnotori) cargo spacecraft to the International Space Station. The H-IIB was a two-stage rocket powered by liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen (hydrolox) engines, with four strap-on solid rocket boosters, and was launched from the Tanegashima Space Center in southern Japan. It could deliver up to 8,000 kg (18,000 lb) to geostationary transfer orbit (GTO), compared with 4,000–6,000 kg (8,800–13,200 lb) for its predecessor, the H-IIA. Its performance to low Earth orbit (LEO) was sufficient to carry the 16,500 kg (36,400 lb) HTV. The H-IIB made its debut in September 2009 and flew nine times through May 2020, all successfully.
