Fujimoto is the handpicked successor to Manami Toyota, who handed her the nickname of "Flying Angel" and her Japanese Ocean Cyclone Suplex finishing maneuver upon her November 2017 retirement from professional wrestling.

[12] After graduating from Tohoku Fukushi University,[1][2] Fujimoto began her professional life as an actress, most notably working on the television series Muscle Venus, forming an idol group with fellow cast members Hikaru Shida, Hina Kozuki, Ichiko Mayu, Miyako Matsumoto, Sachiko Koga, Tomoyo Morihisa, Yuki Ueda and Yuri Natsume.

[1][15] Though all Muscle Venus members made their debuts around the same time, only Fujimoto, Hikaru Shida and Miyako Matsumoto lasted more than six months, making new careers out of professional wrestling.

[16][17] Unlike many other rookies, Fujimoto began winning matches early on, suffering her first big loss on December 23, losing to Makoto in the semifinals of a tournament to determine the inaugural ICE×60 Champion.

[18] The following year, Fujimoto formed the tag team Muscle Venus with Hikaru Shida, the name paying tribute to television series the two had acted in together.

[30] On October 20, Fujimoto and Shida received their first shot at the International Ribbon Tag Team Championship, but were defeated by Emi Sakura and Nanae Takahashi.

[39] On March 19, Ray and Emi Sakura defeated Fujimoto and Shida in a non-title match and afterwards laid a challenge for the International Ribbon Tag Team Championship.

[43] On July 30, 2011, Fujimoto made her American debut, when she teamed with Mima Shimoda and Portia Perez to defeat Daizee Haze, Makoto and Sara Del Rey at a Chikara event in Reading, Pennsylvania.

[46] The following month, Fujimoto and Shida attempted to regain the International Ribbon Tag Team Championship, but were defeated in the semifinals of a tournament for the vacant title by Manami Toyota and Tsukushi.

[54] After submitting Maki Narumiya in a singles match on January 29, 2012, Fujimoto was granted a shot at her and Hikaru Shida's International Ribbon Tag Team Championship.

[59][60] On March 24, Fujimoto made her debut for the Universal Woman's Pro Wrestling Reina promotion, defeating fellow Ice Ribbon worker Neko Nitta in the opening match of Reina.29.

[72] On June 23, Fujimoto lost the Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship to her tag team partner Tsukushi, who pinned her after a match, but shortly afterwards comically regained the title from one of Ice Ribbon's ring mats.

[74] When the round-robin portion of the 2012 Catch the Wave ended, Fujimoto finished with two wins, one draw and one loss, tied at the top of the Black Dahlia block.

[77] The following week, as the reigning Reina World Tag Team Champions, Fujimoto and Shida traveled to Mexico to work for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL).

[83] Upon her return to Japan, Fujimoto and Tsukushi lost the International Ribbon Tag Team Championship to Miyako Matsumoto and Neko Nitta on July 15.

[88][89] Fujimoto's and Shida's second successful title defense took place back in Reina X World on August 26, when they defeated Crazy Star and Silueta.

[94][95][96] Following Emi Sakura's departure from Ice Ribbon at the beginning of 2012, Fujimoto and Hikaru Shida took over the promotion's training duties, and on October 19, introduced their first five trainees; Eri Wakamatsu, Fumiko Sato, Risa Okuda, Rutsuko Yamaguchi and Shoko Hotta, all set to make their debuts during the rest of the year.

[97] On October 28 at 2012 Yokohama Ribbon III, Fujimoto received the first shot at new ICE×60 Champion Mio Shirai, but ultimately failed in her challenge for the title.

[105] At Ice Ribbon's year-end RibbonMania 2012 event on December 31, Fujimoto and Hikaru Shida were defeated in a tag team match by World Wonder Ring Stardom representatives Nanae Takahashi and Natsuki☆Taiyo.

[115] On February 11, Fujimoto was defeated in the finals of the Triangle Ribbon Championship tournament by Miyako Matsumoto in a three-way match, which also included Mio Shirai.

[118] In March, Fujimoto and Hikaru Shida announced their goal of 2013, winning Samurai TV's "Best Unit" Award, handed to the best team in all of Japanese independent wrestling at the end of the year.

[120] On April 21, Fujimoto and Ohata lost the Wave Tag Team Championship to Kana and Mio Shirai in their fourth title defense.

[131][132] On June 22, 19 O'Clock Girls ProWrestling held its first event in six months, during which Fujimoto defeated Hamuko Hoshi to win the IW19 Championship for the second time.

The stable mainly worked in Pro Wrestling Wave, where they made it to the finals of the 6-Person Tag Tournament in November, but the alliance also carried over to Ice Ribbon.

[156][157][158] On July 13, Fujimoto claimed the number two spot in her block and advanced to the knockout stage of the tournament, after pinning Tomoka Nakagawa in a three-way double elimination match, also involving Kyoko Kimura.

[160] On September 23, Fujimoto entered the 2014 Dual Shock Wave, teaming with Yumi Ohka, playing off the two's management roles in their respective home promotions.

[164] Nakajima had earlier nominated Fujimoto as her next challenger,[164] leading to Ice Ribbon and JWP announcing a double title match for December 28 at Korakuen Hall.

Afterwards, Manami Toyota, the final entrant in the match, endorsed Fujimoto as her successor, giving her the right to her Japanese Ocean finishing maneuvers and officially dubbing her the second generation "Flying Angel".

[202][203] After four successful title defenses, Best Friends lost the International Ribbon Tag Team Championship to Hiragi Kurumi and Tsukushi on September 19.

[223] Fujimoto, along with Hikaru Shida and Miyako Matsumoto, was featured in Japanese pop group angela's 2012 music video for their song "The Lights of Heroes".
