report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:

We searched for the optical counterpart of GRB 151006A (D. Kocevski et al. GCN Circular #18398) 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 2015-10-06 15:20:15 UT (~4.4 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

T0+ : Elapsed time after the burst
T-EXP: Total Exposure time
We used GSC2.3 catalog for flux calibration
