Biography[edit]

In 2013, Fujihira auditioned as a model in a photo shoot by Kids-Tokei. She subsequently appeared in the May edition of the magazine De-View, and was recruited by the Amuse Kids division of the talent agency Amuse Inc.[2]

On May 6, 2015, Fujihira joined the Japanese idol group Sakura Gakuin during the Sakura Gakuin 2015 Transfer Ceremony, along with fellow transfer-ins Soyoka Yoshida, Momoko Okazaki, Mirena Kurosawa, Māya Asō, and Marin Hidaka.[3] On November 12 and 13, 2016, she participated in the Sakura Gakuin Festival 2016 held at the Maihama Amphitheater in Chiba Prefecture, and became a member of the Sakura Gakuin sub-unit Sleepiece.[4]

On December 15, 2017, Fujihira began appearing regularly on the television show Bitworld, which was broadcast on NHK Educational TV.[5]

On May 6, 2018, at the Sakura Gakuin 2018 Transfer Ceremony held at the Nakano Zero Hall, Fujihira became the second Performance Chairman of Sakura Gakuin.[6] On May 6, 2019, at the Sakura Gakuin 2019 Transfer Ceremony held at the Bunkyo Civic Center, she became the ninth Student Council President of the group.[7]

In June 2019, Fujihira became one of the three rotating support dancers, called the Avengers, for the kawaii metal band Babymetal, along with Momoko Okazaki and Riho Sayashi. As Babymetal was originally a trio, after the departure of founding member Yui Mizuno, the support dancers would take turns filling the role of a third dancer.[8] Fujihira performed alongside the two permanent members of Babymetal, Suzuka Nakamoto and Moa Kikuchi, on the second day of the concert titled Babymetal Awakens: The Sun Also Rises on June 29, 2019, at the Yokohama Arena.[9] She also performed as the support dancer on the second day of the concert Babymetal Arises: Beyond The Moon: Legend M on July 7, 2019, at Portmesse Nagoya.[10] Additionally, on January 25 and 26, 2020, she performed at the Legend: Metal Galaxy concerts held at the Makuhari Messe.[11][12] Fujihira, in the role of an Avenger, appeared in the live music videos for the Babymetal songs "Pa Pa Ya!!" and "Elevator Girl".[13][14]

On October 19, 2019, during the Sakura Gakuin Festival 2019 at the Kanagawa Arts Theatre, it was revealed that Fujihira had formed a four-member girl group named @onefive with fellow Sakura Gakuin members Soyoka Yoshida, Tsugumi Aritomo, and Momoe Mori. At the encore of that same Sakura Gakuin concert, she performed the debut single "Pinky Promise" as @onefive for the first time.[15]

Fujihira graduated from Sakura Gakuin on August 30, 2020, along with the other three members of @onefive, during the concert titled The Road to Graduation 2019 Final.[16] In total, she had recorded five albums with Sakura Gakuin. Continuing her activities with @onefive under the mononym Kano,[17] she has co-written lyrics, created choreographies, and produced stage lighting for her girl group on occasion.[18][19][20]

In August 2021, she was cast in the stage adaptation of the manga Town of Evening Calm, Country of Cherry Blossoms as Kyōka Ōta. It was performed from August 4 to 8 at the CBGK Shibugeki theater in Tokyo, and on August 14 and 15 at the Kintetsu Art Museum in Osaka.[21][22]

In January 2022, Fujihira began appearing on the television show Super Invincible Class, which was broadcast on Nippon TV.[23]

On February 2, 2022, she released her first album with @onefive, titled 1518, and pronounced ichi-go ichi-e.[24]

In October 2022, Fujihira's girl group made its major label debut with Avex Trax when their song "Miraizu" (未来図) was featured as the theme song for the television drama adaptation of the manga If My Favorite Pop Idol Made It to the Budokan, I Would Die.[26] On May 12, 2023, the film adaptation of the manga was released with @onefive's "Chance" as its theme song.[27] Fujihira and the other members of @onefive were cast in both live-action adaptations as members of the fictional idol group ChamJam, with Fujihira playing the role of Maki Hakata.[28] Her vocals as ChamJam were included on the second disc of the two-disc album I Live For You (きみのために生きてる, Kimi no Tame ni Ikiteru), released by Pony Canyon on May 10, 2023.[29][30]

In November 2023, Fujihira began modeling for Amazon Fashion Japan, as @onefive had been selected to be its Generation Z Leader.[31]
