report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:

We searched for the optical counterpart of GRB 181228A (M. J. Moss  et al.,
GCN Circular #23570) 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 09:04:35.19 UT. We did not find any new point
source within the enhanced XRT circle (A.P. Beardmore et al., GCN Circular
#23574) in all three bands. We obtained following limits for the magnitudes.

T0+[hour]    MID-UT      T-EXP[sec]    g'       Rc        Ic

We used UCAC-4 catalog for flux calibration.
