report on behalf of the MITSuME and OISTER collaboration:

We observed the field of GRB 140423A (Sonbas et al., GCNC 16142)
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 2014-04-23 10:43:36 UT (~2.2 h after the burst).
We detected the previously reported afterglow (Elenin et al., GCNC 16143;
Kaur et al., GCNC 16144; Ferrante et al., GCNC 16145) in all the three bands.

Photometric results of the OT are listed below.
We used SDSS catalog for flux calibration.
