Backward error analysis is an important tool to study long time behavior of numerical methods. The main idea of it is to use perturbed equations, namely modified equations, to represent the numerical solutions. Since stochastic backward error analysis has not been well developed so far. This paper investigates the stochastic modified equation and backward error analysis for Euler-Maruyama method with respect to strong convergence are built up. Like deterministic case, stochastic modified equations, expressed as formal series, do not converge in general. But there exists the optimal truncation of the series such that the one step error of the modified equations is sub-exponentially small with respect to time step. Moreover, the result of stochastic backward error analysis is used to study the error growth of the Euler-Maruyama method on Kubo oscillator.
