report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:

We searched for the optical counterpart of GRB 151118A (A. Amaral���Rogers et al., GCN Circular #18611) 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 2015-11-18 19:14:09 UT (~16.1 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.
