Hikaru Shida
On July 30, 2011, Fujimoto made her American debut, when she teamed with Mima Shimoda and Portia Perez to defeat Daizee Haze, Makoto and Sara Del Rey at a Chikara event in Reading, Pennsylvania. The following day, Fujimoto defeated Makoto in an "Ice Ribbon Showcase" match at the Asylum Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. After seven successful defenses and a record-setting reign of 238 days, Fujimoto lost the ICE×60 Championship to Hikari Minami on August 21. The following month, Fujimoto and Shida attempted to regain the International Ribbon Tag Team Championship, but were defeated in the semifinals of a tournament for the vacant title by Manami Toyota and Tsukushi. In October, Fujimoto and Shida, along with Emi Sakura and Hikari Minami, traveled to Nottingham, England to take part in events promoted by Pro Wrestling EVE and Southside Wrestling Entertainment (SWE). During 2011, Fujimoto also took part in Ice Ribbon's interpromotional rivalry with the Sendai Girls' Pro Wrestling promotion. On October 27, Fujimoto, Emi Sakura, Hikari Minami, Hikaru Shida and Tsukushi represented Ice Ribbon in Sendai's Joshi Puroresu Dantai Taikou Flash tournament, a single-elimination tournament, where different "joshi" promotions battled each other. The team was eliminated from the tournament in the first round by Team Sendai (Meiko Satomura, Dash Chisako, Kagetsu, Miyako Morino and Sendai Sachiko). On November 19, Fujimoto defeated Hikari Minami to win the ICE×60 Championship for the third time. Following the event, Hikaru Shida was named Fujimoto's first challenger for the title on December 25 at "RibbonMania 2011". At "RibbonMania 2011", Fujimoto lost the ICE×60 Championship to Shida.
