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

We observed the field of GRB 090401B (Schady et al. GCN 9066)
with optical three color (g', Rc and Ic) CCD camera attached to
the MITSuME 50cm telescope of Okayama Astrophysical Observatory.
We did not detect the optical afterglow reported by Schady and
Oates (GCN 9067; GCN 9074). 3-sigma upper limits to our
observation are listed below. We used GSC2.3 catalog for flux
calibration.
