report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:

We observed the field of GRB 160925A (C. Guidorzi et al., GCN
Circular #19939) 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 2016-09-26 12:21:13 UT (~0.75 day after the burst) and
we detected the optical counterpart in Rc and Ic band.
The measured magnitudes were listed as follows.

We obtained following results for the magnitudes.
