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

We searched for the optical counterpart of GRB 200122A (E. Sonbas et
al.,GCN Circular #26844) 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 14:39:41 UT. Then the observation stopped
due to the bad weather and started again at 16:20:20 UT. We did not
find any new point sources within the Swift-XRT error circle (J.P.
Osborne et al., GCN Circular #26846) in all three bands.

We obtained the 5-sigma limits as follows.

T0+[hour] MID-UT T-EXP[sec] 5-sigma limits
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
14.66 17:41:47 7140 g'>18.6,Rc>18.8,Ic>18.1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

T0+ : Elapsed time after the burst
T-EXP: Total Exposure time
We used Pan-STARRS DR1 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;
