report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:
We searched for the optical counterpart of GRB 151229A (D. Kocevski et al., GCN Circular #18745) 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 2015-12-29 08:56:00 UT (~2.1 h after the burst).
We did not find any new point source within XRT circle in all three bands.
We obtained following limits for the magnitudes.
T0+[sec] MID-UT T-EXP[sec] g' Rc Ic

T0+ : Elapsed time after the burst
T-EXP: Total Exposure time
We used GSC2.3 catalog for flux calibration.
