Ayako Fujitani (è?¤è°·æ??å­?; b. 7 December 1979 in Osaka, Japan).

A writer and actress, she is the daughter of Steven Seagal and his first wife, Aikido master Miyako Fujitani.

While still relatively unknown in America, she was recently featured in the French film Sansa (2003) and is best known for her role in the Heisei Gamera (1995-1999) series directed by Shusuke Kaneko. She worked again with him on an episode of Ultraman Max, whom he directed.

Fujitani wrote the short novella Shiki-Jitsu based on personal reflections of her difficulties as a multiracial child growing up in Japan and later, the unwanted attention after her father's sudden rise to stardom.

The story was adapted into film by writer and director Hideaki Anno and stars Fujitani in the title role.
