Young brown dwarfs have been identified in a significant population in various star forming regions. Some deep surveys have yielded less massive objects with planetary-mass (e.g., Oasa et al. 1999; Lucas & Roche 2000). Nevertheless, it is not yet clear how abundant these very low-mass objects are formed. S106 is one of the nearest massive star-forming regions associated with prominent bipolar nebulae and an HII region. We have conducted near-infrared photometric and spectroscopic observations of very low-mass young stellar objects (YSOs) in the S106 region.
