Velocity distribution of dark matter is supposed to be isotropic Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution in most cases, however, other distribution models including anisotropic one are suggested by simulations. Directional direct detection of dark matter is expected to be a hopeful way to discriminate isotropic distribution from anisotropic one. We investigate the possibility to obtain the anisotropy and WIMP mass by Monte-Carlo simulation supposing the directional detector.
