Among the most anticipated athletes is Osaka native Momiji Nishiya, who at age 13 won gold in skateboarding at the Tokyo Olympics, becoming the youngest Olympic champion in Japanese history.
Skateboarder Nishiya said: "I hope this competition helps me understand what I'm currently capable of."
Another star drawing attention is Wakayama-born Sakura Yosozumi, who also won gold in skateboarding at the Tokyo Olympics.
"It made me really happy," said Yosozumi. "Since it's close to home, I felt that desire again to go for another gold medal, to take on the challenge."
The X Games will be held over three days from June 20th to 22nd at Kyocera Dome Osaka.
