Hikaru Shida
Fujimoto made her debut for Ice Ribbon on August 23, 2008, defeating Haruna Akagi. Though all "Muscle Venus" members made their debuts around the same time, only Fujimoto, Hikaru Shida and Miyako Matsumoto lasted more than six months, making new careers out of professional wrestling. Unlike many other rookies, Fujimoto began winning matches early on, suffering her first big loss on December 23, losing to Makoto in the semifinals of a tournament to determine the inaugural ICE×60 Champion. The following year, Fujimoto formed the tag team Muscle Venus with Hikaru Shida, the name paying tribute to television series the two had acted in together. On June 27, Fujimoto defeated Makoto in a rematch to become the number one contender to the ICE×60 Championship, but would be defeated by the defending champion, Kiyoko Ichiki, on July 11. Fujimoto received another shot at the title on October 30, but was again defeated by Emi Sakura.
