report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:

We searched for the optical counterpart of GRB 180204A (K. L. Page et al.,
GCN Circular #22375) with the optical three color (g', Rc, and Ic) CCD
cameras attached to the MITSuME 50 cm telescope of Okayama Astrophysical
Observatory, Japan.
The observation started on 2018-02-04 9:37:11.83 UT. We did not find any
new point source within the XRT circle (J. P. Osborne et al., GCN Circular
#22377) in all three bands.
We obtained following limits for the magnitudes.
