(HSE) report on behalf of GRB IKI FuN:
We observed Swift GRB 220101A (Tohuvavohu, et al., GCN 31347) also
detected by Fermi/LAT (M. Arimoto et al. 2022, GCN 31350), AGILE (A.
Ursi et al. 2022, GCN 31354), and Fermi/GBM (Lesage et al. 2022, GCN
31360) with AZT-33IK telescope of Sayan observatory (Mondy) starting
on 2022-01-04 (UT) 15:16:32. We detect the optical afterglow
(Tohuvavohu et al., GCN 31347; Kuin & Tohuvavohu, GCN 31351; Fu et al.,

in a stacked image is following

We searched for the nearest galaxy in catalogs. The nearest galaxy was
found in Legacy Survey 1.5 arcsec apart from afterglow UVOT position
with r=23.98, z=21.33 and not detected in g-filter (Brick: 0013p317,
Objid: 4276). The galaxy is not presented in SDSS and PS1 catalogs. This
red galaxy might be a host galaxy of GRB 220101A, in this case the
distance from the source to the center of the galaxy will be about 10
kpc at redshift z = 4.618 (Fu et al., GCN 31353; Fynbo et al., GCN
31359; Tomasella et al., GCN 31363).
