Megumi Ogata
X was first voiced in Japanese by Megumi Ogata, who considered the role to be a "first generation part" of her career alongside other series like "Yu-Gi-Oh!" due to voicing X and Yugi Mutou in their first appearance and later being replaced. Starting in "Mega Man X4", X was given another voice actor, Kentarō Itō. He was replaced by Showtaro Morikubo for the next works. The fourth voice actor currently voicing X since "Mega Man X8" is Takahiro Sakurai, who said he enjoyed voicing X across the crossover "Project X Zone" as he remembered X's thoughts. Sakurai described X as a serious character who "hesitates and agonizes, but always keeps fighting. He recalls experiencing multiple sad feelings when acting as X. He is always fighting, not just against Mavericks but also his inner persona as while does not enjoy the chaos, he finds himself forced to fight to achieve peace. Similar to his experience when playing the "Mega Man X" games from the Super NES he looked forward to the crossover due to his interactions with other famous characters." X from the "Mega Man Zero" and "ZX" series is voiced by Takahiro Mizushima.
