  We study the reaction mechanism of K*Lambda(1116) photoproduction off the
proton target near threshold considering the contributions from
nucleon-resonances. Employing the effective Lagrangian method at the tree-level
Born approximation, we investigate the role of the D13(2080) and the D15(2200).
We found that the D13 plays a crucial role to reproduce the experimental data
well in the forward scattering region at low energy. We also present
theoretical predictions on the single photon-beam asymmetry as well as the
energy and angular dependence for the cross sections of this reaction.
