He graduated from Tama Art University in 1961, and began working at observatories, producing a substantial bibliography of general-audience astronomy books. In 1974, Fujii began Japan's first star party, the "Invitation to Starlit Skies", which he hosted on Mount Azuma until 1984.[2]
Fujii's work is marketed by David Malin;[3] he collaborated with Serge Brunier in the production of 2001's Great Atlas of the Stars.[4]
The main-belt asteroid 3872 Akirafujii is named in his honor.[5]
