The $$Theta^+$$ pentaquark baryon was searched for via the $$pi^-prightarrow K^-X$$ reaction in a missing-mass resolution of 1.4 MeV/$$c^2$$ (FWHM) at J-PARC. $$pi^-$$ meson beams were incident on the liquid hydrogen target with the beam momentum of 1.92 GeV/$$c$$. No peak structure corresponding to the $$Theta^+$$ mass was observed. The upper limit of the production cross section averaged over the scattering angle of 2$$^{circ}$$ to 15$$^{circ}$$ in the laboratory frame was obtained to be 0.26 $$mu$$b/sr in the mass region of 1.51$$-$$1.55 GeV/$$c^2$$. The upper limit of the $$Theta^+$$ decay width using the effective Lagrangian approach was obtained to be 0.72 MeV/$$c^2$$ and 3.1 MeV/$$c^2$$ for $$J^P_{Theta}=1/2^+$$ and $$J^P_{Theta}= 1/2^-$$, respectively.
