[edit] Aerobics

Kenji Fujihara is the current National Champion and Australia World Representative for Aerobics. Fujihara, at twelve years, seems very small in comparison to his competitors but he is well-known for his tenacity and crowd pleasing tricks. Fujihara, known to his close friends as 'Fuji' or 'Fudgey', is often cited as one of the new generation of competitors who are reinvigorating the sport of aerobics, often mixing traditional moves with dance-influenced moves and break-dance. Kenji has been awarded many medals, trophies, plaques, colours etc. and also has a trophy named after him.

[edit] Personal life

Fujihara comes from a large family of seven children, many of whom are also heavily involved in Aerobics. Kenji plays three instruments: piano, bagpipes and flute. Despite his rigorous training schedule Kenji continues to attend school and has been acknowledged for his proficiency in both his sporting endeavours and academic work. He is respected by his peers and is very close to many of them.
