Miki Fujimoto (藤本 美貴, Fujimoto Miki, born on February 26, 1985) is a member of the popular Japanese pop group Morning Musume. She is nicknamed "Mikitty" (ミキティ). Aya Matsuura calles her "Mikitan" (ミキタン).
History
She originally started out as a solo singer under the idol family Hello! Project, often called by fans as Aya Matsuura's rival(but in fact, they are the best friend), but after a successful performance on the music program on New Year's Eve, "Kohaku Utagassen", producer Tsunku added her to the group as a sixth generation member in 2003.
Miki sings a lot of the lead lines in Morning Musume songs, especially after Natsumi Abe's graduation. She and fellow Morning Musume member Asami Konno are also lent to Country Musume, a group that features "Country Girls from Hokkaido", such as Miki and Asami (the group has been known, however, to include members not from the rural island--such as former featured singer Rika Ishikawa and current member Miuna Saitou).
In October 2002, she formed the group Gomattou with two other prominent pop soloists under Hello! Project, Maki Goto (a former Morning Musume member), and Aya Matsuura. She was also in H!P Shuffle groups Odoru 11 and 11 Water.
In 2003, when Morning Musume split into two groups, she was placed in Morning Musume Otomegumi. Miki usually get lead or secondary lead singing roles in the groups that she get placed in.
