Biography

John Mamoru Fujioka, a renowned American actor of Japanese descent, was born on June 29, 1925, and would go on to leave an indelible mark on the entertainment industry.

Fujioka's most notable claim to fame was his portrayal of a Japanese holdout soldier in a trio of iconic films: The Last Flight of Noah's Ark, Who Finds a Friend Finds a Treasure, and American Ninja. These performances showcased his remarkable range and versatility as an actor.

Tragically, John Fujioka's life came to a close on December 13, 2018, at the ripe age of 93. Despite his passing, his legacy continues to inspire and entertain audiences to this day.
