Personality
Aika is a popular and friendly girl, who excels in sports. Although she is bad at school and is immature, she has her own sense of justice and never lets anyone dear to her down. She likes to sing and dance, which is why she dreams of becoming a famous singer. Aika can also be loving and kind-hearted. She is also shown to take after her mother in a few circumstances: both are bad at school, both are popular, both have a sense of justice, both are immature and both excel in sports. Aika also takes after her father in a few circumstances: both attract the opposite gender and both are shown to be beautiful/handsome. However, because she has no memories of her mother, she gets painful headaches about her mother, and sees her as a mysterious and unknown woman who keeps saying that everything will be alright. She currently trains with her best friend, Tanaka Masami, and Kujou Hikari.

Becoming Cure Sunburst
Aika was having a headache, and her best friend, Tanaka Masami, came along and tried to help her. However, Aika was already late for her club, and ran away to it, despite how much her headache hurt. Later, Aika was walking with Masami to their home, where Kujou Hikari was waiting for them. As the girls started training, they were both sucked into another world, where Aika was separated from Masami. Aika saw two female people playing together, with the smaller one on a swing and a bigger one pushing her. Both looked as if they had so much fun together, but the bigger girl then got a call from someone, and picked up the smaller girl, and gave her to a man who had just come along. Just then, a creature came along and turned into a commune. The bigger girl grabbed the commune and changed forms. With a shock, Aika realised that she was seeing the past. The bigger girl was then joined by a dark-haired girl in white, and together, the two flew away. The creature whom Aika had just seen came along, and said his name was Mepple. Mepple changed into a commune, except it was a different commune, and Aika was taken into another world, where she found Masami and Hikari with three other creatures. The creatures introduced themselves as Mipple, Pollun and Lulun, who were fairies from the Garden of Light. Mepple says that the bigger girl she had seen was actually her mother, Misumi Nagisa, and her best friend, Masami's mother, Yukishiro Honoka, before they went missing. Mepple and Mipple had separated from the two best friends and were sent to the Garden of Rainbows to find Shiny Luminous, who in this case, was Hikari herself. Hikari backed the fairies up by transforming with Pollun into Shiny Luminous. Luminous then gave Aika and Masami a mission: to track down their mothers and free them from the Dark Zone. As soon as they agreed, Mepple and Mipple changed into communes, into the Jewel Communes. Just then, Aika and Masami transformed together, into the Pretty Cures of the Sun and Moon, Cure Sunburst and Cure Moonbeam!

When Aika's mother went missing, Shougo's female admirers kept coming to him and asking him to let one of them become his girlfriend. However, Shougo remains faithful to his wife, because he is convinced that Aika doesn't want a replacement for her mother.

Etymology
Fujimura (藤村): Fuji (富士) is a word that means "wisteria" while Mura (村) means "village".

Aika (あいか): Ai (愛の) is a Japanese word that means 'love', while Ka (讃歌) means 'song'.

Therefore, Fujimura Aika means "wisteria village love song". The first name could be a pun because Aika dreams of becoming a singer, and can be loving at times.
