The actor, who voiced the character Nohara Hiroshi in the anime CRAYON SHIN-CHAN, reportedly died of cancer. The funeral for the man born on October 5, 1964, was held privately by the family.

In August 2016, Fujiwara temporarily stepped back from his profession as a voice actor. This was due to him undergoing medical treatment for an undisclosed illness.

In addition to voicing Shin-chan's father, Fujiwara showcased his talents by being a dubber in a series of renowned anime, such as voicing Maes Hughes in FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST, Leorio in HUNTER X HUNTER in 2011, Reno in FINAL FANTASY VII: ADVENT CHILDREN and FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE, Shuichi Aizawa in DEATH NOTE, and Ali al-Saachez in GUNDAM 00.

Fujiwara also voiced Robert Downey, Jr. as Tony Stark in the Japanese version of the film THE AVENGERS. Not only that, he also founded the talent management agency Air Agency in 2006 and served as the representative director until his passing.
