report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:
We have been observing the optical counterpart of GRB 171010A (N. Omodei et
al., GCN Circular #21985) 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 2017-10-11 13:29:52.24 UT.
We detected the previously reported optical afterglow (Thorstensen &
Halpern, GCN Circular #21987; Izzo & Malesani, GCN Circular #21988;
Guidorzi et al., GCN Circular #21991; Malesani et al., GCN Circular #22000)
in Ic and Rc bands.
The measured magnitudes were listed as follows.
