report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:


We searched for the optical counterpart of GRB 191016A (J.D. Gropp et
al., GCN Circular #26008) with the optical three color (g', Rc, and
Ic) CCD cameras
attached to the MITSuME 50 cm telescope of Okayama
Astrophysical Observatory, Okayama, Japan.

The observation started on 09:37:49.50 UT which corresponds to
5.5 hours after the trigger.
We detected the point source at the position consistent with the
afterglow detected previously (Alan M. Watson et al. GCN #26010).
The measured magnitudes and 3-sigma limit are listed as follows.

We used GSC2.3 and UCAC4 catalog for flux calibration.
The magnitudes are expressed in the Vega system.
