report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:
We searched for the optical counterpart of GRB 160303A (Beardmore et al., GCN Circular #19126) 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 2016-03-03 10:55:44 UT (~1 min 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
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
0.43 11:20:38 2610 >20.3 >20.4 >19.6

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