T. Yoshii, R. Usui, Y.Aoki, S. Kurita, M. Hayashi,
Y. Saito, Y. Yatsu, and N. Kawai (Tokyo Tech)  report
on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:

We observed GRB 121128A ( Oates et al., GCN Circular #14007) with the
optical three color (g, Rc, and Ic) CCD cameras attached to the MITSuME
50 cm telescope of Akeno Observatory, Yamanashi, Japan.

The observation was started on 2012-11-28 08:49:50 UT ( ~13453  sec
after the burst).
We detected the previously reported afterglow ( Oates et al., GCN
Circular #14007)
in Ic band.  The results of photometry (3sigma upper limits) are listed below.

The photon flux were calibrated against GSC2.3 catalog.
