Following the Fermi/LAT detection of the gamma-ray flare from 4C 14.23 (ATEL #2243), we performed optical photopolarimetric observations with the "KANATA" 1.5-m telescope at Higashi-Hiroshima Observatory. Our preliminary analysis shows that the V and J-band magnitudes of 4C 14.23 were V=17.1+/-0.1 and J=14.7+/-0.1 on 15.8 (UT) Oct. 2009, respectively. We adopted a nearby star at RA=07:25:20.93 and DEC=+14:25:03.9 (V=14.420 in NOMAD, J=13.485 in 2MASS) as the photometric reference.
