I'm Japanese and I'm going through a translator, so you might not get the message. Fuji is the name of the flower. The language of flowers is "kindness", "welcome", "good guest", "harmony between man and woman", "elegance", "never leave", "fidelity", "fertility", "drunk in love" and "bliss". She was a woman who lived up to her name.

Fuji-sama is the exemple of simplicity, strenght, loyalty and tranquility in a beautiful woman. We'll miss her so much

I know it was her duty but the way she stood up for John with the guns he gave her, she instantly became my favorite throughout the entire series. I wish they would have shown her more😭😭

That character moved me more than any other in this series. In my opinion, she was the strongest and bravest character of them all. Truly a loyal servant to Toranaga.

One of the most expressive pairs of eyes to have ever graced the screen.

The female characters in Shogun were so fascinating-Mariko, Usami Fuji, the geisha Kiku, Lady Ochiba-they exuded a charming but steely mystique of deference and resolve to their duties and roles in that culture and period of time.

Is very rare to find a secondary female character so well written. The history of Usami Fuji - San becomes so meaningful at the end of the series when grief haunts Blackthorne 's heart. Moeka Hoshi delivers a flawless performance full of emotion.

It’s been so long since I’ve been so drawn into a character let alone a side character. She was so captivating I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. What an amazing performance which has left a lasting impression on me. An amazing actress with such expressive eyes. She is my favorite in the whole series. I’m obsessed! She is absolutely beautiful

That scene at the beginning of EP04 (Eightfold Fence) was probably one of the best performances I've ever seen. I love that at first, she tried her best to maintain her composure, then her repressed feelings came out all at once. Then struggling to simmer back down upon recalling Mariko's recent loss. You could feel her emotions in every second of it. Such powerful acting. That scene alone merits her well-deserved accolades and praises. Hope she gets awarded for it, and be given even more greater opportunities.

Moeka Hoshi, Fuji-sama, she is famous now, very impressed acting, love it.

it's so amazing how well written are the female characters in this series.

What makes the Lady Fuji character interesting and unique for me is that she exudes a quiet strength without the typical aggressive and/or loud over the top behaviors, while at the same time an exotic sensuality without being vulgar, and a calming/soothing presence. Moeka Hoshi had given the audience an unforgettable performance!! Bravo👏

A great actress always makes her part memorable and personal. Good looks are common and fade. Talent matures and develops. A really touching performance.

Fuji-sama is my absolute favorite in this series!

The actress was amazing. It was fun seeing an international star being born.

Yes, correct... Moeka Hoshi is the one ' discovered ' star of this show... She is very cute, and also a very good actress...

I like to believe that in the end Fuji and the "Anjin" ended up being husband and wife... that's what her last little smile on the boat inspires me.

The actress is simply stunning in performance and in beauty. I am indeed being mesmerized by her.

I can't quite explain it, but there's something about Fuji that is so attractive. I find Mariko interesting because of her story, and because Mariko is a key character in the entire plot. We get to know about Mariko because of the plot, and are attacted to her as a result of it. But Fuji is different. She started off as this tragic character, then surpises everyone with her defiance and courage, while mantaining absolute elegance in everything she does. I love Fuji's mannerism, the way she carries herself, and the way she speaks. Fuji is such an elegant character. Moeka Hoshi is amazing for portraying the character so effortlessly. I don't watch Jidaigeki so I can't really compare Moeka Hoshi's acting with other more accomplished Japanese actresses, but I imagine Fuji/Moeka Hoshi is going to pop up in my mind whenever I watch a show portraying feudal Japanese women in the future.

She apparently died earlier in the story according to the book, but in this mini series at least she lives on to become a great nun. I believe she was patterned after a real life counterpart of a widow who became a nun of high ranking in the Tokugawa shogunate, Kodai-in She didn't have any sons or husband and her late husband's sword was given to the second shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate, which closely resembles how Torinaga got Fuji's sword.

that almost final scene with blackthorn on the boat scattering ashes and her telling him just b4 he lets the cross fall into the sea...that was the tear jerking

Her acting is so effortlessly and naturally Japanese. It's even better than Mariko imo.
