We measure the complete set of angular coefficients $J_{i}$ for exclusive $\bar{B} \to D^{*} ℓ {\bar{ν}}_{ℓ}$ decays ( $ℓ = e$ , $μ$ ). Our analysis uses the full $711 {fb}^{- 1}$ Belle dataset with hadronic tag-side reconstruction. The results allow us to extract the form factors describing the $\bar{B} \to D^{*}$ transition and the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element $| V_{cb} |$ . Using recent lattice QCD calculations for the hadronic form factors, we find $| V_{cb} | = (40.7 \pm 0.7) \times 10^{- 3}$ using the Boyd-Grinstein-Lebed parametrization, compatible with determinations from inclusive semileptonic decays. We search for lepton flavor universality violation as a function of the hadronic recoil parameter $w$ and investigate the differences of the electron and muon angular distributions. We find no deviation from standard model expectations.
