An increase of X-ray flux of the Be/X-ray binary pulsar A0535+26 has been observed with MAXI/GSC since 2010 October 14. The current activity is clearly out of the outburst phase (only 0.7 x ~110-day orbital period since the last outburst peak), and probably is a precursor activity. Assuming that it is a precursor, this is the fifth detection of the consecutive activities following the ~110-day orbital cycle (Moritani+ 2010), although the average interval of the last four outbursts has been significantly longer at about 115 days.
