Biography
[edit]Early life
[edit]Fujii was born in Kawasaki City, Japan to an American father of Japanese and Swiss descent and a Japanese mother. Fujii has a younger brother, Arthur. As a high school student, she traveled to Switzerland to study English following bullying by her Japanese classmates, who would make comments such as "You're a fat one [foreigner] but you don't speak English". In Switzerland, she was also subject to bullying and racism, particularly from one female classmate, who would make racist comments.
When Fujii initially joined her management company, her debut coincided with two other new models, and Fujii recalls getting the least attention.
