Pulsar systems are very good experimental laboratories for the fundamental physics in extreme environments which cannot be achieved on ground. For example, the systems are under conditions of high magnetic field strength, large gravitational potential, and fast rotation, containing highly-ionized hot plasmas with particle acceleration etc. We can test phenomena related to these extreme condition in the X-ray to sub-MeV bands. In future, we will get fantastic capabilities of higher sensitivities, larger effective area, higher energy resolutions, and X-ray imaging capabilities with wider energy band than current missions, in addition to opening new eyes of polarization measurements, and deep all sky monitoring capabilities, with future X-ray missions including ASTRO-H, eRossita, NuSTAR, GEMS, International X-ray Observatory (IXO) and so on. In this paper, we summarize current hot topics on pulsars and discuss expected developments by these future missions, especially by ASTRO-H and IXO, based on their current design parameters.
