Multi-soliton solution to a multi-component coupled Ito system is investigated based on the Hirota bilinear method. By virtue of the perturbation method, we firstly derive one-and two-soliton solutions for the coupled Ito system possessing four components. Then the multi-soliton solution for the multi-component coupled Ito system is summarized into a general form expressed by pfaffians. Finally, this general pfaffian-type soliton solution is proved by pfaffian techniques.
