We report on a detection of a renewed outburst from a black hole candidate 4U 1630-472 with MAXI/GSC. The source was first detected on 2011 December 17 (MJD 55912) at 35±5 mCrab (2-20 keV), and increased to 135±5 mCrab on MJD 55915 and 168±8 mCrab on MJD 55920. Then it has rapidly increased since December 26 (MJD 55921), and reached 360±10 mCrab on MJD 55922.
The spectrum until MJD 55920 is described by a heavily absorbed multi-colored disk blackboby with a powerlaw model.
