We have operated TOO system for prompt GRB follow-up observations at Kiso observatory since 2001. The Kiso observatory is located in Nagano prefecture, Japan, and has 105 cm schmidt telescope and three instruments. We carried out 14 follow-up observations using this system. In the GRB021004, we could obtain the very early afterglow spectrum with low disp ersion slitless spectrograph using objective prism, well before a position of optical transient was reported. We carried out spectrophotometry, and obtained B-, V-, R-, and I-band light curve. The brightness re-increased at ˜2 hours after the burst. From our results, it is suggested that the light curve have two components. One of the interpretations it that one is a prompt optical emission, and the other is typical afterglow. Here we report the optical follow-up observations of GRB021004.
