The signs of the active star formation in the Orion region are mainly found in the direction of the two giant molecular clouds - Ori A and Ori B -. Recent objective prism survey in the Orion region shows large number of Hα emission-line stars distributed outside of the giant molecular clouds (Nakano et al., 1995). Many weak-lined T Tauri star candidates are also discovered by the discrimination analysis of the X-ray sources found in the ROSAT all sky survey (RASS) (Sterzik et al., 1995). Although such huge number of pre-main sequence stars outside of the molecular cloud was not expected, their nature is still in controversial (Neuhäuser, 1997). To know the X-ray properties of these sources in the Orion region, we have carried out the ASCA observations.
