The electronic structure of single crystals Na0.6CoO2, which are closely related to the superconducting Na0.3CoO2\ifmmode⋅\else\textperiodcentered\fiyH2O (Tc\ensuremath∼5 K), is studied by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. While the measured Fermi surface (FS) is consistent with the large FS enclosing the \ensuremathΓ point from the band theory, the predicted small FS pockets near the K points are absent. In addition, the band dispersion is found to be highly renormalized, and anisotropic along the two principal axes (\ensuremathΓ\mathrm\text\ensuremath-K, \ensuremathΓ\mathrm\text\ensuremath-M). Our measurements also indicate that an extended flatband is formed slightly above EF along \ensuremathΓ\mathrm\text\ensuremath-K.
