We report the first quiescent detection of KV UMa, the optical counterpart of
XTE J1118+480 at near infrared. The observed magnitudes and colours are
consistent with a K7-M0 V star, at the distance 1.4 +/- 0.2 kpc. The light
curve shows strong orbital modulation with possible contamination from a
superhump detected in the quiescent optical light curves.
