In the 2021 World Figure Skating Championships in Stockholm, Sweden, Japan secured three quotas in both the men's and ladies singles competitions, and one each in the pairs and ice dance competitions.
Japan initially won bronze medals in the team event. However, they were not awarded at the Olympics due to a pending investigation into a Russian doping scandal. The investigation concluded in early 2024 and the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) disqualified the Russian athlete and the Japanese skater was moved to second place.
Kokone Kondo withdrew from the slopestyle event after sustaining an injury during practice.
