report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:



We observed the field of GRB 131030A (E. Troja et al., GCN Circular #15402) 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 started on 2013-10-31 09:37:51 UT ( 12.68h after the burst).

We detected the previously reported optical afterglow of GRB131013A (E. Troja et al., GCN Circular #15402) in the Rc and Ic band.



The measured magnitudes were listed below.
