We present initial results from an high-resolution imaging search for damped Ly$\alpha$ absorbers toward the high-redshift quasar APM 08279+5255 by using the Adaptive Optics system (AO) attached to the Subaru telescope. We detected in total 11 objects within a $23''\times23''$ field around the quasar. Among these detected objects, we identified a possible candidate for the galaxy giving rise to the damped Ly$\alpha$ absorption at z$_{abs}$=2.974 with a criteria of distance from the sight-line toward the quasar and luminosity.
