Fujimaru has dirty blonde hair with two hairpieces on both sides of his bangs, and the middle on the bridge of his nose. Besides the standard Shinigami uniform, he wears a bright red ribbon in his hair that rests on his left shoulder. Much like his sister, his eyes are bright blue.

History
He and his sister, Matsuri, were under an attack from a hollow when the then 5th Division captain, Seigen Suzunami saved them. Afterwards, he adopted them into his noble family. Years later, they joined the Gotei 13 and served under their father as ranked officiers. It is unknown if they attended the Shinigami Academy, or if their membership was orchestrated.

Bleach the 3rd Phantom
After fending off the Arrancar, Arturo Plateado, Fujimaru and his sister are suspended in time and are transported to the present-day Karakura Town. Upon realizing their father is still alive, Fujimaru attempts to bring Seigen back to the Soul Society. This attempt fails though, as he has teamed up with Aizen and become a hollow-like monster.

While Seigen is attacking the Soul Society, Fujimaru leads an expedition into Hueco Mundo to defeat Aizen, but is stopped by Seigen and trapped in an in-between dimension. After putting his father's soul to rest, he returns to the world of the living. He is later seen in Ichigo's school, failing to learn the alphabet.
