We explore discovery signatures of techni-dilaton (TD) at LHC. The TD was predicted long ago as a composite pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson (pNGB) associated with the spontaneous breaking of the approximate scale symmetry in the walking technicolor (WTC). Being pNGB, whose mass arises from the explicit scale-symmetry breaking due to the dynamical mass generation, the TD should have a mass MTD lighter than other techni-hadrons, say MTD \simeq 600GeV for the typical WTC model, which is well in the discovery range of the ongoing LHC experiment. We develop a spurion method of nonlinear realization to calculate the TD couplings to the standard model (SM) particles and explicitly evaluate the TD LHC production cross sections at sqrt{s}=7TeV times the branching ratios in terms of MTD as an input parameter for 200GeVWW/ZZ signature with the recent ATLAS and CMS bounds and find that in the case of 1DM the signature is consistent over the whole mass range due to the large suppression of TD couplings, and by the same token the signal is too tiny for the TD to be visible through this channel at LHC. As for the 1FM, on the other hand, a severe constraint is given on MTD to exclude the TD with MTD<600GeV, which, however, would imply an emergence of somewhat dramatic excess as the TD signature at MTD>600GeV in the near future. We further find a characteristic signature coming from the gamma gamma mode in the 1FM. In sharp contrast to the SM Higgs case, it provides highly enhanced cross section~0.10--1.0fb at around MTD \simeq 600GeV, which is large enough to be discovered during the first few year's run at LHC.
