report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:

We searched for the optical counterpart of GRB 151228A (T. N. Ukwatta et al., GCN Circular #18731) 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 2015-12-28 19:25:49 UT (~16.3 h after the burst).
We did not find any new point source within BAT 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.
