report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:

We observed the field of GRB 121226A (Krimm et al., GCNC 14105)
with the optical three color (g', Rc and Ic) CCD camera attached
to the MITSuME 50cm telescope of Okayama Astrophysical Observatory.

The observation started on 2012-12-26 19:11:59 UT (~2.3 min after the burst).
We did not find any new point source within the XRT circle
(Krimm et al., GCNC 14105) in all the three bands.

Three sigma upper limits of the OT are listed below. We used
GSC2.3 catalog for flux calibration.
