Near-infrared photometry is reported for 76 emission-line stars in outer regions of the Orion molecular cloud complex. Most of our program stars are selected from the Hα emission-line star catalog of the large-scale Kiso Schmidt survey of the Orion region. We confirm that most of the emission-line stars with strong emission detected in the Kiso survey are typical T Tauri stars with masses in the range 0.5 to 2 M⊙. Low mass stars have therefore continued to form in the outer parts of the Orion region, away from present day massive molecular clouds, until at least as recently as a few million year ago.
