report on behalf of MITSuME and OISTER collaboration:

We observed the field of GRB 130612A (Racusin et al., GCNC 14874)
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 2013-06-12 11:27:22 UT (~8.08 h after the burst).
We could not detect the previously reported afterglow
(Racusin et al., GCNC 14874; Melandri et al., GCNC 14875) in all the three bands.

Three sigma upper limits of the OT are listed below.
We used GSC 2.3 catalog for flux calibration.
