Etymology

• The name Fumiko is written in katakana (フミコ), which has no special meaning. However, when written in kanji (文子, 史子, 富美子 or 芙美子), it could possibly mean:
  • 文子 - "writing" (文) (fumi) and "child" (子) (ko).
  • 史子 - "history" (史) (fumi) and "child" (子) (ko).
  • 富美子 - "wealth, abundance" (富) (fu), "beautiful" (美) (mi) and "child" (子) (ko).
  • 芙美子 - "lotus, Mt Fuji" (芙) (fu), "beautiful" (美) (mi) and "child" (子) (ko).
• Fumiko's surname Nishimura means "west" (西) (nishi) and "town, village" (村) (mura).

Trivia

• Fumiko is the subject of four Thought Fragments.
  • When three of the Thought Fragments are combined, they appear to create a narrative of a lovestruck man who eventually lands a date with her: (1) Dr. Fumiko, (2) She smiled, (3) Date. The last Thought Fragment reveals she is a foodie.
  • The fourth Thought Fragment reveals she won her university's beauty contest: Miss U.
