History

When Fujigaya was 11 years old, his aunt secretly sent his resume to Johnny & Associates for an audition. He was initially unsuccessful, but as he was leaving, he did not know where to return his number tag and asked an elderly man nearby, who turned out to be the company's president, Johnny Kitagawa. On Kitagawa's decision, Fujigaya passed the audition and joined Johnny & Associates in 1998. Several other future idols also took part in the same audition, including Kazuya Kamenashi and Yuichi Nakamaru of KAT-TUN, Takahisa Masuda of NEWS, Ryoichi Tsukada of A.B.C-Z, and Yuki Koshioka of 4U.
In April 2004, the trainee unit Kis-My-Ft. was formed, Fujigaya and Hiromitsu Kitayama and Wataru Yokoo were selected as members. In July 2005, Kento Senga, Toshiya Miyata, Yuta Tamamori, and Takashi Nikaido joined, and the group began activities as Kis-My-Ft2. They made their CD debut on August 10, 2011, with the single Everybody Go.
Fujigaya graduated from Meikai University in 2010 with a degree in economics from the Faculty of Economics.
Fujigaya, known for his strong vocal abilities, often sings key parts in the group's songs. He is also recognized as the member who embodies a mature, cool, and sexy image within Kis-My-Ft2.
Alongside his music career, Fujigaya began acting in 1999, making his television debut in Scary Sunday, My Friend J-kun. In 2012, he played his first starring role in a television series, Beginners!.
In 2014, he starred in his first feature film, Kamen Teacher The Movie, and later that year, he took his first leading role on stage in Colt Gabaments – Hajime no Hajimari.
He went on to perform in works such as He is Beautiful, Mars: Just, I Love You, and Karei-naru Ichizoku, and earned praise for his portrayal in the musical Don Juan in 2019, which was revived in 2021. The stage play And I'm at a Loss, in which he starred in 2019, was later adapted into a film in which he reprised his role. In 2024, he starred in the film Arrogance and Virtue, adapted from the novel by Mizuki Tsujimura, which he had long named as one of his favorite books.
Fujigaya is also known for his interest in fashion. He won the Best Jeanist Award in 2014, 2015, and 2016, an annual fashion award in Japan recognizing celebrities who are considered to look best in jeans, and was subsequently inducted into the award’s Hall of Fame. He has often spoken of his fondness for denim, which he attributes to the influence of his father, and he once received a rare pair of Levi's S501XX war model jeans from Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, his co-star in a 2013 drama and a former member of SMAP.
In 2024, Fujigaya launched his own perfume brand, Aimetoi. The name, meaning "love yourself" in French, reflects his personal philosophy. The first products, "8" and "23," were inspired by the time of his birth, 8:23. It was released on November 13, 2024. Fujigaya spent more than six months collaborating with a professional perfumer to develop the scents. He has said his interest in perfume dates back to junior high school, when he admired a senior who wore fragrance, and perfume has since become an essential part of his work, including concerts with Kis-My-Ft2.
