We construct infrared star count models of the Galaxy applicable at faint magnitudes. In addition to dwarfs and subdwarfs, we also take into account L dwarfs, T dwarfs, and white dwarfs of both disk and halo. As a test case of the models, we analyze the infrared imaging data at J and K' obtained during the Subaru Deep Field Survey to study stellar objects. Infrared star count models we have obtained predict that the Next Generation Space Telescope will primarily see T dwarfs, M subdwarfs, and old halo white dwarfs at faint magnitudes.
