Miho Fujii is a Japanese actress, comedian, and plus-size model. Born in Suzuka City, Mie Prefecture, she originates from Japan and currently resides in Los Angeles, USA. Her journey began with participation in a local theatre company during high school, followed by studies at Toho Gakuen College of Drama and Music. She further pursued drama training at language and drama schools in Los Angeles, appearing in comedy shows while there. Fujii also became a plus-size model, notably among the few Asian plus-size models to gain roles in films and television. Fujii’s career reflects a multifaceted approach to performance and activism. She is described as a feminist who explores themes of love, hate, and their blurred boundaries in her solo theatre work. This work incorporates comedy, storytelling, music, and multimedia elements, often featuring explorations of daddy issues represented by a lamp symbolizing her father. Her performances address expectations surrounding beauty, sexuality, gender, and worth as a Japanese woman. She gained online attention for discussing body image, feminism, and self-worth, and is the author of a book about self-esteem. Initially, she considered a career in Japan but abandoned it due to concerns about the use of body type for humor, finding some Japanese comedy unfunny. Fujii expresses her opinions directly on Twitter, often addressing critical comments. Fujii’s work extends beyond performance and writing to include modeling and advocacy. She began working as a plus-size model approximately one and a half years ago and has since become an ambassador for various brands. She promotes the body positive movement, emphasizing that all body types are beautiful and stopped trying to lose weight after observing the success of other plus-size models. Her desire to stand out, initially fueled by a lack of perceived conventional beauty, led her to embrace humor as a tool for gaining popularity. Fujii aims to inspire younger generations and support marginalized individuals through her social media presence, believing that even small actions can lead to success. She appears on the J-WAVE program '~JK RADIO~ TOKYO UNITED' and communicates with Japanese people on Twitter.
