D. Kuroda, K. Yanagisawa, M. Yoshida (NAOJ), T. Ishimura, and N. Kawai
(Tokyo Tech) report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:

We observed the field of GRB071011 (Marshall et al., GCN 6882) with
the 3-color 50cm MITSuME Telescope at Okayama Astrophysical
Observatory, and 3-color 105cm Telescope at Ishigakijima Astronomical
Observatory.  The observations started at 12:50:06 Oct.11 (9m53s after
the trigger) at Okayama, and at 13:04:15 Oct.11 (24m02s after the
trigger) at Ishigakijima.

In the co-added images of Ic and Rc bands (Okayama), and
Ic, Rc, and V bands (Ishigakijima), we detected the optical
afterglow reported by Cenko et al. (GCN 6895).
We estimate the magnitudes relative to the USNO B1.0 catalog.
The results are followings.
