We study numerically the late-time tails of linearized fields with any spin s in the background of a spinning black hole. Our code is based on the ingoing Kerr coordinates, which allow us to penetrate through the event horizon. The late time tails are dominated by the mode with the least multipole moment l which is consistent with the equatorial symmetry of the initial data and is equal to or greater than the least radiative mode with s and the azimuthal number m.
