M. Yoshida, K. Yanagisawa, Kuroda, D., Y. Shimizu, S. Nagayama,
Toda, H. (OAO, NAOJ) and N. Kawai (Tokyo Tech) report on behalf
of the MITSuME collaboration:

We performed optical imaging observation (g', Rc, and Ic) of the
field of GRB 080613B (Markwardt et al. GCN 7873) with 50cm MITSuME
telescope at Okayama Astrophysical Observatory from 11:19:09 UT
(6m 31s after the trigger) to UT 12:43:30 on June 13 2008.

We could not identify any new source in the XRT error circle
(Mao et al. GCN7875). Three sigma limiting magnitudes of our
observation are listed below.
