K. Tokoyoda, M. Hayashi, Y. Yatsu, Y. Aoki, K. Kawakami, S. Song,
R. Usui, and N. Kawai (Tokyo Tech) �report on behalf of the MITSuME
collaboration:

As reported in GCN12378 (Tokoyoda et al.), we detected a very faint object
within the XRT error circle of GRB 110921A (W. H. Baumgartner et al, GCN12373)
with the MITSuME-Akeno 50cm telescope.
Here we report the results of aperture photometry.

We started the follow-up observation at 13:53:08 (UT), ~108 sec after the BAT
trigger(W. H. Baumgartner et al, GCN12373).  The optical counterpart can be seen
both in R and I band only in the earliest data-set from T0+108s to T0 + 348s.

For zero-point calibration we used GSC2.3 catalog.
The g' magnitudes of the reference stars were estimated based on Sesar
et al. (2006).
For I-band data we could not find any usable catalog data, therefore we
performed a field photometry.
The Photometric results are summarized below.
