Kenji Gerardo Fujimori Higuchi (Latin American Spanish pronunciation: [ˈkeɲɟʝi xeˈɾaɾðo fuxiˈmoɾi inoˈmoto], Japanese: 藤森 健二, Hepburn: Fujimori Kenji, Japanese pronunciation: [ɸɯʑiꜜmoɾi keꜜɲdʑi]; born 19 May 1980) is a Peruvian businessman, politician and a former congressman representing Lima from 2011 until he was suspended from congressional duty in June 2018, in aftermath of the Mamanivideos scandal.[1] He is the son of former President Alberto Fujimori and former First Lady and congresswoman Susana Higuchi. He has three siblings: Hiro Alberto, Sachi Marcela and Keiko Fujimori. In the 2011 elections, he ran for Congress in the constituency of Lima, under the Force 2011, a Fujimorist political party led by his sister Keiko, being the most voted congressman in 2011. In the 2016 elections, he was re-elected for a second term to Congress, once again representing the same constituency, under the Popular Force, as he received a high number of votes and being the most voted congressman in 2016. In June 2018, following the "Mamanivideos" scandal, Congress suspended Kenji and two other congressmen of his party for allegations of crimes of influence peddling and bribery.[2]
