report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:

We observed GRB 130131B (Siegel et al., GCNC 14159) 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 2013-01-31 19:10:57 UT (~49 sec after
the burst). And we could not find any new point source within the XRT
error circle in all the three bands.
The results of photometry (3 sigma upper limits) are listed below.

The photon flux were calibrated against GSC2.3 catalog.
