report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:

We performed the follow-up observation for optical afterglow of GRB140423A(E.Sonbas et al., GCN Circular #16142, Elenin et al.,GCN Circular #16143 etc.) 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 2014-04-24 14:10:46 UT (31.1h after the burst).
We did not find the optical source on the position of GRB140423A.

The measured magnitudes were listed below.
