Theoretical studies on the proton-induced alpha knockout reaction will be presented. The alpha knockout reaction is one of the tools for probing the alpha cluster state of the nuclear system. For that purpose, a quantitative description of the reaction is necessary. However, it has been reported that a reproduction of the alpha knockout cross sections is difficult in many cases. In this presentation, I introduce a recent result in which we have succeeded in reproducing the data. I will also discuss the relationship between an alpha cluster wave function and the knockout cross section, and how it can be probed with this type of reaction.
