Kawai(TokyoTech) report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:

We searched for the optical counterpart of GRB 200115A (S. B. Cenko et 
al.,GCN Circular #26771) 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 11:52:38.68 UT. We did not find any new point 
sources within the Swift/BAT circle (S. B. Cenko et al., GCN Circular 
#26771) in all three bands.
We obtained the 5-sigma limits as follows.

T0+[sec]���� MID-UT������ T-EXP[sec]������ 5-sigma limits
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
135���� 12:23:04.98���� 3060���� g'>18.3, Rc>17.6, Ic>17.2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T0+ : Elapsed time after the burst
T-EXP: Total Exposure time
We used UCAC4 catalog for flux calibration.
The magnitudes are expressed in the AB system.
The images were processed in real-time through the MITSuME GPU reduction 
pipeline (Niwano et al. ,in prep; https://github.com/MNiwano/Eclair)
