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.

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

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!”
