report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:
We searched for the optical counterpart of GRB 150423A (C. Pagani et al. GCN Circular #17728) 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 2015-04-23 13:03:48 UT (~6.6 h after the burst).
We did not find any new point source within XRT circle in all three bands.
We obtained following limits for the magnitudes.
T0+[sec] MID-UT T-EXP[sec] g' Rc Ic
