We performed optical and near infrared observations of GRB 111228A
(Ukwatta et al., GCN 12737; Xin et al., GCN 12738) with the 1.5 m Kanata
Telescope of Higashi-Hiroshima observatory, Japan. The observation
started at 15:47 UT on 2011 December 28. We took a sequence of images
in Rc and K bands, and detected the optical-infrared afterglow of the
GRB (Veli-Pekka Hentunen et al. GCN 12754; Kuroda et al. GCN 12743;
Nicuesa Guelbenzu et al. GCN 12757; Usui et al. GCN 12768).
Photometric results are listed below. We used USNO-B1 catalog for flux
calibration of Rc band, and 2-MASS catalog for Ks band.
