report on behalf of the MITSuME and OISTER collaboration:

We observed the field of GRB 180418A (D'Elia et al.,GCN 22646)
with the optical three color (g', Rc and Ic) CCD camera attached
to the Murikabushi 1m telescope of Ishigakijima Astronomical
Observatory.

The observation started on 2018-04-18 13:55:32 UT, (~7 hours after
the burst). We detected the previously reported afterglow
(W. Zheng and A. Filippenko, GCNC22647) in the R band.

The photometric results of the OT are listed below.
We used UCAC-4 catalog for flux calibration.
