We report on the radial-velocity variability of G-type giants based on the results of precise Doppler measurements of 57 stars that were observed for the first 3 years of the Okayama Planet Search Program. This program aims to search for planets around intermediate-mass stars in their evolved stages as late-G giants. We found that most of the targets with B −V 1.0 typically show σ ∼ 20ms−1. In total, about 60% of the targets are stable in radial velocity to a level of σ 30ms−1 are found in 4 stars (HD 41597, HD 134190, HD 161178, and HD 176598). For most of the stars without showing any significant periodicity, we can exclude companions with K > 50ms−1, or m2 sin i > 1.8MJ(a/AU)(M∗/M )1/2 for orbital radii a 1–2AU.
