Uehara (Hiroshima Univ.), report on behalf of the KANATA GRB team: We took optical and IR images of the field of GRB070418 (GCN 6299) at 11:24-11:46 UT 18 Apr. using TRISPEC attached to the KANATA 1.5-m telescope at Higashi-Hiroshima Observatory, Japan. We obtained 10 sets of V, J, and Ks-band images with a 123, 120, and 96-s exposure time, respectively. We cannot find any new objects brighter than 18.4, 15.7, and 13.8 mag in V-, J-, and Ks-band, respectively, using the USNO A2.0 and 2MASS catalog. Our observation continues.
