  Hyper-Kamiokande has been proposed as a next generation neutrino oscillation
experiment capable of observing accelerator, atmospheric, solar and
astrophysical neutrinos, as well as possible proton decays, providing a rich
scientific program. One of the main goals is the study of CP violation in the
lepton sector. The Hyper-Kamiokande detector will be an underground water
Cherenkov detector with a fiducial mass of 0.56 million metric tons,
approximately 25 times larger than that of Super-Kamiokande. With such a large
fiducial mass, the Hyper-Kamiokande detector will need a robust trigger and
data acquisition system (DAQ) to be sensitive to the physics events of
interest. Several UK institutions are participating in the development of the
trigger and DAQ. Here we present some of the on going studies from the UK DAQ
group.
