T. Ohkawa and N. Kawai(Tokyo Tech) report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:

We observed the field of GRB 110112A (Stamatikos et al.,GCN 11553)
with the optical three color (g', Rc and Ic) CCD camera attached
to the MITSuME 50cm telescope of Akeno Observatory and Okayama
Astrophysical Observatory.

We did not find any new point source within the enhanced XRT error
circle (Evans et al., GCN 11556) in all the three bands. We could
not detect the previously reported afterglow (Xin et al., GCN 11554).

Three sigma upper limits of the OT are listed below. We used GSC2.3
catalog for flux calibration.

Akeno Observatory:
The observation started on 2011-01-12 09:07:48 UT (~5 h after the
trigger).
