Born on January 5 in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, Fukuyama decided at the age of seven that she wanted to become a manga creator. She was influenced by the works of artists such as Kimiko Uehara, Fumica Okano, and Ryo Ikuemi.
Fukuyama made her professional debut as a manga artist in 2000 with the work Kaminari, which was published in the magazine Hana to Yume. She began her first long-running series, Charming Junkie (also known as Nousatsu Junkie), in 2003. The series, which follows a teenage girl navigating a career as a model, concluded in 2008 and became one of her signature works. She subsequently created the series Monochrome Animals (also known as Monochrome Kids) and Shinzou ga Tarinai.
Fukuyama is credited as the original creator of Anonymous Noise (Fukumenkei Noise), a manga series she wrote and illustrated. The series was serialized in Hana to Yume magazine from April 2013 to January 2019. The story centers on a musically gifted high school girl named Nino and her relationships with two childhood friends. The success of the manga led to a multimedia franchise. An anime television series adaptation of Anonymous Noise was broadcast in Japan from April to June 2017, with Fukuyama receiving credit as the original creator. A live-action film adaptation of the manga was also released in November 2017.
Her other works include the series Koi ni Mudaguchi. Throughout her career, Fukuyama has maintained a consistent association with Hakusensha's Hana to Yume magazine, a prominent publication for shoujo manga. Her artistic identity is closely tied to stories centered on intense emotions and artistic pursuits, such as music and modeling, often exploring themes of unrequited love and personal identity within a romantic framework.
