Chika Fujiwara (born March 3, 2012) is an American football quarterback . She played college football for Georgia Institute of Technology (GT) and was selected twelfth overall by the Kansas City Coyotes in the S20 DSFL Draft. In the S21 NSFL Draft, she was selected forty-first overall by the Baltimore Hawks. She was traded to the Honolulu Hahalua in Week 11 of S27 (2042).

Early years

Chika Fujiwara is the middle child to the Fujiwara family of politicians and the former Prime Minister, her grandfather. She was raised up in the height of luxury and trained to be an all around athlete. Chika's early showing of sports was in high school at Shuchi'in Academy in Tokyo, Japan. There she excelled mostly in volleyball since the school did not participate in American Football. This would not be a challenge though as her parents decided to get her training for the sport anyway to make sure that their daughter received any training that she wanted.

The training she already had from playing volleyball at Shuchi'in was able to help her excel at American Football in her senior year. She was able to apply herself quickly into the sport and got interest from the X-League in Japan. There were plenty of offers from teams there that could've signed her right after graduation, but once she found out that here friends were heading to America for college, she decided to head along with them. In America, Chika found a school that interested her and her new found love for football. Plus the school was offering her a start at quarterback so it was a match made in heaven when Chika Fujiwara signed on at Georgia Tech as a three star recruit.

College career

Geoff Collins was stunned when he saw some of the talent that was shown by Fujiwara at an international scouting trip that he took through a Waffle House funded journey. Collins was instant to praise the young female QB with a scholarship to Georgia Tech to become the next future player at the Institute. It was almost a match made in heaven when she joined the team and was a starter after her freshman season where she tore things up from the get-go.

That fall she started her first game and shocked most of her critics that said a girl couldn't play on an American Football team. She had great poise in the pocket and was unstoppable when she found an open target. People complimented her mental skills and toughness in the pocket throughout the season and her playing career. "There was a lot to like about her game," PFF stated, "Chika has a great arm to get the ball out and can avoid making costly mistakes." After her three year career at Georgia Tech, Chika found another league to join after not getting invited to the NFL Combine. She jumped in the NSFL draft to hopefully get a shot at playing professional QB.

Professional career

2035 - Kansas City Coyotes

Chika's first season was with the newly renovated Kansas City Coyotes that had a stellar amount of talent coming with her. Plenty of players helped make things go rather smoothly in the first season despite a few hiccups here and there. The first outing by Fujiwara was in the S20 Prospect Bowl where she was placed with other players that mostly were not on her team. Without much practice together, no connection could really be made, and Chika had a bad outing, losing her first game. Unfortunately, the bad luck would only continue early into the season as the first two games that Kansas City played were against established teams that went down to the wire. In a strike of luck though, Chika started to show her talent as a reliable passer as the season went on and she managed to amass the third most amount of passing yards off the second most attempts. Her completion rate just barely scratched over fifty percent with lower touchdown numbers in the run heavy Kansas City scheme. However, she did manage to post a respectable passer rating amongst her peers in her first season and kept things alive for Kansas City in some games. This did not please the awards committee though and she was not nominated for anything. On awards night, Chika gave a final warning for next season and her expectations, “Watch out because I’m going to be up on the screen. I don’t care if I have to pass for a million yards! I want to be up there!”

2036 - Kansas City Coyotes

After being selected in the fifth round by the Baltimore Hawks to replace Corvo Havran, things stepped up for Chika at Kansas City. Her career started to take off as she became one of the experienced quarterbacks in the DSFL and managed to lead the position through the season. Despite the young receiving core on the Coyotes, Chika found great success through the air on multiple games with her best being a major blowout against the newly formed Dallas Birddogs in their first matchup in week 4. She torched the Birddogs by throwing for 186 yards, completing 63% of her passes and a touchdown off to Michael Witheblock. During this season, Chika also put together a number of great rushes that added an entirely new side of the Kansas City offense that was not around in her rookie season.

The impressive new year for Chika led to a great success with the Coyotes as they approached their third Ultimini and managed to win the North Championship. In the championship, Chika left little doubt as to why her team was the best team in the North and why she was the best quarterback in the division. Her season helped her win multiple awards and write her name in the history books. She managed to win the quarterback of the year and the DSFL MVP award which puts her in rare company amongst some of the league’s best. After the 2036 season, Chika was called up to the Baltimore Hawks to become the next starting quarterback of the Hawks.

2037 - Baltimore Hawks

During the 2036 season, an expansion was made in the NSFL that added in two more new teams in the Honolulu Hahalua and the Sarasota Sailfish. It just so happened that the GM of the new Honolulu team had a player tied in with the Baltimore Hawks that was playing for Chika while she developed in the DSFL. Then there was an untimely switch with the new Honolulu GM having to take his player along to the new team and away from Baltimore. With the QB spot vacant at the Hawks, Chika Fujiwara was called up early to become the new quarterback of the Baltimore squad despite still needing development. As one of the quarterbacks in the NSFL with the least amount of time in the DSFL, Fujiwara was put up in a difficult spot to succeed in her first year.

The problems began almost from the start in a rough matchup against the Sarasota Sailfish where Fujiwara’s DSFL MVP talents were forgotten as she disappointed the expecting fans of Baltimore and set a tone for how the season would go. Plenty of lack luster performances came around on the young quarterback in her first season which lead to a 3-10 season. It was the lowest the Hawks had faced in a long time due to the unfortunate quarterback switch. However, not all games were bad for Ms. Fujiwara as she managed to put together impressive games against the also rebuilding Chicago Butchers and making a surprise win over the Philadelphia Liberty late in the season. Without awards this season, there is still hope for the team as Chika was quoted in a postgame interview after the Liberty win, “There is a lot to look forward to here. I can’t wait to see where we go next!”

2038 - Baltimore Hawks

With a bad rookie season in 2037, Chika Fujiwara was quick to let the past be the past. The season started off with a powerful statement win over the Yellowknife Wraiths. Fujiwara was dominant in her first game of the regular season and outperformed the veteran, Cooter Bigsby, by throwing for three scores and developing a brand-new connection with rookie wide receiver Nick Kaepercolin. The two would score the game winning touchdown in the game and go on to create problems for plenty of other teams along the way. However, the high hopes of the season would quickly hit reality as the next two games brought bad losses to the Colorado Yeti and Liberty as Chika failed to bring the magic she had against the Wraiths.

After the Liberty game, she found herself trying to find new ways to succeed in practice and avoid her sack issue that had plagued the Hawks all of last season. The work managed to show quick results as the young quarterback started to lead a much more effective offense and win back-to-back games and the rest of the season would follow a similar pattern as Chika constantly worked on new ways to improve her pocket presence and even tried to run with the veterans on some option plays that came in handy toward the end of the season. Toward the end of the season, Fujiwara took part in a Baltimore charity tournament and the reward was that the best player on the championship team would become the new number of Ms. Fujiwara. A young linebacker managed to win the MVP and Chika Fujiwara retired her #2 jersey in favor of the #57.

2039 - Baltimore Hawks

To say that there was a change in Chika’s play in her third season would be an understatement. However, it was not the type of change you hope for when your quarterback enters their third season. For a brief moment it seemed that all was going as planned despite the key losses of some older players after the 2038 season and moving into the 2039 campaign for the Hawks. The team found itself on the bottom of the TPE list with Chika quickly rising in order to take a leading role alongside her fellow back field star Darrel Williams. The Hawks found success early in the season as the Hawks wiped the floor with their first two opponents. Despite the low completion percentage, Chika made it happen against the Butchers with three touchdowns, no interceptions, and 272 yards through the air. Even following that game, she still showed signs of life as she led a competent Hawks team in a heated battle against the Philadelphia Liberty. Then things started to fall apart quickly for Chika Fujiwara as her personal trainer got sick with COVID-39 and had to be replaced with the first trainer that the Hawks could find. The new trainer ended up causing some major mental and physical issues for Chika that led to a terrible losing streak and had Fujiwara looking more like she had just got done running a marathon before every game rather than being in her best shape. Things started to turn around late in the season as her trainer managed to get healthy again and returned back with the team. Ms. Fujiwara found herself elated at the end of the season when her trainer returned, excited to tell her that she now had three husbands around the league in Mac Griddle of San Jose, Prince Vegeta of Orange County, and Dexter Banks II of Sarasota. Chika also changed her number back to #2 after the unlucky season she had at #57

2040 - Baltimore Hawks

The 2040 season started off hot for Chika as she kept a fast pace of three hundred plus yards a game for the intro of the season. The Hawks switched from a balanced offense to an air raid offense that used the most of the fast speed the receivers as well as the gunslinging ability that Chika had. It managed to be a match made in heaven as it seemed as the yards she put up blew away expectations. However, there were many games that proved why the gunslinging was not as reliable. The game against the Chicago Butchers proved the downside of the air raid offense where Chika had under three hundred yards, three touchdowns, but also three interceptions. The give and take was what the season could be described as for the quarterback as she broke the one quarterback record you do not want to break, the Baltimore Hawks record for most interceptions in a season. Along with the record came a .500 record that kept the Hawks from the playoffs in a few unfortunate losses late in the season. Her twenty interceptions kept Chika from being invited to the awards and was instead facing the offseason with only potential for the future.

2041 - Baltimore Hawks

After high hopes leaving the 2040 season and a close chance at the playoffs, Chika and the Hawks would be faced with plenty of changes involving a lot of talent leaving the team along with two Hall of Famer veterans joining in Mathias Hanyadi and Dermot Lavelle Jr. The offense had a new look to it with having Hanyadi and the Air Raid had gone dormant over the opening of the season. There was an issue made apparent early in the season with the offensive changes that led to a bad start for Chika with only two passing touchdowns within the first three games of the season and five interceptions. It would not be until week four when the Hawks would jump into the driver seat against a young Honolulu team and win 27-17 off the revamped arm of Ms. Fujiwara as she stepped up again to prove her leadership skills through five seasons with the Baltimore Hawks. The season was rough for Chika as she began to question what to do in the future as veteran status and obvious regression was just around the corner. Things were getting slightly better in the second half of the season as the team returned to the Air Raid attack known by Mike Hawk’s offense and the Chika finished the season with almost 5000 passing yards which would be good for second in the league. Her twenty-five touchdowns and thirteen interceptions were not amazing for overall totals, but the season would be the first time that Chika would appear in awards voting and received one vote for Quarterback of the Year by a member of Head Office that was a proud supporter of the pink haired quarterback.
