report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:

We observed the field of GRB 120803A (Racusin et al., GCNC 13565)
with the optical three color (g', Rc and Ic) CCD camera attached
to the MITSuME 50cm telescope of Okayama Astrophysical Observatory.

The observation started on 2012-08-03 14:07:49 UT (~6.8 h after the burst)
We did not find any new point source within the XRT circle
(Evans et al., GCNC 13569) in all the three bands.

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