Kokoro Fujishiro, 23, has always dreamed of being an idol, but her dedication to judo has left little room for anything else.
However, her commitment is yielding impressive results.
Fujishiro recently secured second place in the 52kg class at the Asian Championships, a milestone she hopes to build on as she eyes the World Championships and the 2028 Olympics.
Despite her demanding athletic career, Fujishiro remains a devoted idol fan.

With a rare blend of athletic grit and idol passion, she’s proving that even the toughest competitors can have a soft spot for dreams that bring happiness to others.
