Shunsuke Nakamura
He made his Japanese National Team debut on 24 March 2007 in a 2-0 friendly victory at home to Peru. Fujimoto came on as a substitute in the 85th minute to replace his high school fellow alumnus Shunsuke Nakamura. His next international involvement came when he made brief second-half appearances in both matches in Japan's double header in June of that year, the 2-0 win over Montenegro and the 0-0 draw with Colombia. He played once more in 2007 as a 73rd minute replacement in the 4-1 home routing of Egypt.
