Career
Fujino joined an entertainment agency in October 2011.[1] In 2014, she was cast as the main character in Izuru Narushima's film Solomon's Perjury, an adaptation of Miyuki Miyabe's novel of the same name.[2] She was selected out of approximately 10,000 people in an audition process that took an unprecedent six months.[3] At the time of her debut, Fujino had only acted as an extra.[4] She used her character's name as her stage name because she "doesn't want to forget the feelings" of receiving the role.[3] Fujino received the Newcomer of the Year award at the 39th Japan Academy Film Prize for her role in the film.[5] Later in 2016, she transferred agencies from Theatre Academy to K-Factory.[6]
In May 2017, she appeared in Hiyokko as Toyoko Kanehira, a coworker and dormmate of the main character. This was her first appearance in an asadora.[7]
During the 2019 Japanese unified local elections, Fujino appeared in posters and online advertisements by the Kanagawa Prefectural Election Commission to encourage people to vote.[8]
