Biography
Since the age of 6 in 1958, Fujita worked in radio and television as an actress, singer and comedian. In addition, she also sang theme songs for anime such as the 1969 adaptation of Dororo.
She also dubbed several English-language films in Japanese, as well as lending her voice to anime, such as Ikkyū-san (Ikkyu), Kiteretsu Daihyakka (Kiteretsu <Eiichi Kido>), Digimon Adventure (Taichi Yagami), Fist of the North Star (Mamiya) and Cat's Eye (Rui Kisugi). She was widely used especially in works produced by Toei Animation and Nippon Animation.
In 1984, she received the award for "Best Voice Actor" in the 1st Nihon Anime Taishou.
Sadly in her later years, her work was limited due to her poor physical condition and health problems. It was announced on December 28, 2018 that she died of invasive breast cancer at 68.[1]
