Kanae Fujishita is a journalist for the sports newspaper "Oudo Sports," specializing in wrestling coverage. Her background includes a career as a professional wrestler during the "golden age" of the Berserk Gym, where she trained under Jackal Tojo and competed alongside Misaki Toyoda. A career-ending back injury forced her retirement from the ring, leading to her current profession in sports journalism. She maintains a close friendship with Misaki Toyoda post-retirement.

Physically, she is an adult woman with green shoulder-length hair, golden eyes, and a slim build. She wears glasses while reporting. Her personality blends professional drive with a moral compass. As a journalist, she actively chases sensational wrestling stories, evidenced by attempts to convince Misaki to participate in a stunt and efforts to document Sakura Hagiwara's early career. However, she demonstrates ethical limits: abandoning the stunt idea upon seeing Misaki's trauma, showing pity for Sakura when audiences jeer her, refusing to photograph Sakura after a loss to Rio Kazama, and displaying sorrow recalling a younger Misaki's struggle. She perceptively deduces others' motivations, accurately identifying Misaki's reasons for helping Sakura.

Despite her retirement, she retains significant physical prowess from wrestling, effortlessly carrying Chinatsu Suzumoto, tackling Kurea Komiyama, and engaging in prolonged mud wrestling tussles with Misaki Toyoda during special training. She expresses confidence in defeating Misaki in mud wrestling. Her interactions sometimes escalate to extremes, including physically confronting Chinatsu and Kurea in OVAs.

She actively observes and documents wrestlers' growth, particularly Sakura Hagiwara. She witnessed Sakura's initial confrontation with Rio Kazama and later praised Sakura's determined expression following her victory over Rio, indicating supportive interest in Sakura's development. Her professional activities and personal history keep her deeply connected to the wrestling world.
