report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:

We searched for the optical counterpart of GRB 160203A (P. D'Avanzo et al., GCN Circular #18979) 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 2016-02-03 15:46:41 UT (~13.5 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+[hour]    MID-UT     T-EXP[sec]      g'         Rc          Ic

We used GSC2.3 catalog for flux calibration.
