The GRB 110402A (Swift/BAT trigger #450545; Ukwatta et al.) triggered
the Suzaku Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM) which covers an energy range
of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 2011-04-02 00:12:58.49 UT (=T0).

The observed light curve shows a multi-peaked structure starting at
T0-1.5s, ending at T0+83.5s, with a duration (T90) of about 70 seconds.
The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was 9.1 (+0.9, -0.9) x 10^-6 erg/cm^2.

The 1-s peak flux measured from T0+1s was 5.72 photons/cm^2/s in the
same energy range.

Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0-1.5 s
to T0+83.5 s is well fitted by a single power-law with a photon index of
1.57 (+0.11, -0.10) (chi^2/d.o.f = 44.73/31).

All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level, in which
the systematic uncertainties are not included.
