(Tokyo Tech) report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:
We observed the field of GRB 220118A(The Fermi GBM team GCN Circular
#31489, N. J. Klingler et al. GCN Circular #31490) with the optical
three color (g', Rc, and Ic) CCD cameras attached to the MITSuME 50 cm
telescope Akeno. The observation started at 2022-01-18 18:21:29 UT (51
sec after Swift BAT trigger). We stacked the images with good
conditions. We detected the optical afterglow candidate reported by
the Swift UVOT observation (N. J. Klingler et al. GCN Circular
