Noriteru Jaime Fukushima Ichimori (Japanese: 福嶌教輝; born June 3, 1959) is a Mexican-Japanese diplomat who has served as Japanese Ambassador to Mexico since 2021.[1] Born in Mexico to parents from Japan, Fukushima holds dual citizenship. He previously served as Japanese Ambassador to Argentina.
Noriteru Fukushima was born on June 3, 1959, in Polanco, Mexico City, Mexico. His parents moved from Japan to Mexico in 1954. In an interview, he stated that their arrival in Mexico coincided with Japan's post-war reconstruction period, and that his parents experienced a culture shock.[2]
Fukushima said that he "always wanted to go back" after they moved away from Mexico during childhood.[2] He graduated from Kyoto University School of Law in 1981 and joined the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.[1]
