Tomoko Fujishima launched her dual career as a racing driver and automotive journalist in 2002. She serves as a longtime presenter on the acclaimed television broadcast Kuruma de Ikou! for 18 years, alongside delivering test-drive reviews for major digital outlets, YouTube channels, and fashion magazines.

She serves as a Juror for the Japan Car of the Year (JCOTY) and is a Board Member of the Automotive Journalists Association of Japan (AJAJ). Still actively competing in amateur motorsport, her strength lies not in overly complex mechanical deep-dives, but in clearly translating behind-the-wheel dynamics into practical benefits and drawbacks. Through an accessible and engaging approach, she shares the true appeal of automobiles with everyone from everyday drivers to hardcore enthusiasts.
