Mr. Fuji looks after abandoned and orphaned {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} at the '''Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|あいの ボランティア ポケモン ハウス|Ai no Borantia Pokémon Hausu}}''' ''Affection Volunteer Pokémon House'') in [[Lavender Town]].

He subscribes to [[Pokémon magazines#Pokémon Fan|Pokémon Fan Magazine]]. It is revealed that he is not a native of Lavender Town as he used to live on [[Cinnabar Island]] and is the founder of the island's [[Pokémon Lab]], back when he was apparently known as '''Dr. Fuji''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|フジはかせ|Fuji-hakase}}''' ''Dr. Fuji''). This assumption has also led to speculation that he is the author of the [[Pokémon Mansion journals]]. He used to be a close friend of [[Cinnabar Gym]]'s [[Blaine]], as the portrait in the Gym shows them together but this only in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. Mr. Fuji is supposedly shy. | ||
In [[Generation I]] and FireRed and LeafGreen, when members of [[Team Rocket]] killed {{OBP|Marowak|ghost}} at [[Pokémon Tower]], Mr. Fuji marched up to their [[Rocket Hideout|hideout]] and started to rant about how Team Rocket was abusing Pokémon. Team Rocket held him hostage until the {{player|protagonist}} drove them out of the tower and rescued him. In gratitude, Mr. Fuji gives the {{player}} a [[Poké Flute]]. | In [[Generation I]] and FireRed and LeafGreen, when members of [[Team Rocket]] killed {{OBP|Marowak|ghost}} at [[Pokémon Tower]], Mr. Fuji marched up to their [[Rocket Hideout|hideout]] and started to rant about how Team Rocket was abusing Pokémon.

In {{v2|Emerald}} there are a series of messages left at [[Faraway Island]] where a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Mew}} can be found. The messages warn that only someone pure of heart will see Mew. The author's name is smudged, but the remnant {{tt|ジ|ji}} is still readable in the Japanese version. It is possible that it was Mr. Fuji who left the message. As a scientist who possibly worked on creating {{p|Mewtwo}}, he would have needed to capture Mew to take its baby. | In {{v2|Emerald}}, there are a series of messages left at [[Faraway Island]] where a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Mew}} can be found. The messages warn that only someone pure of heart will ever see Mew. The author's name is smudged, but the remnant {{tt|ジ|ji}} is still readable in the Japanese version. It is possible that it was Mr. Fuji who left the message, much like the suggestion of the Pokémon Mansion journals being written by him. As a scientist who possibly worked on creating {{p|Mewtwo}}, he would have needed to capture Mew to take its baby. | ||
In [[Generation II]] and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Mr. Fuji doesn't have a prominent role. He is found at '''[[House of Memories]]''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|たましいのいえ|Tamashī no Ie}}''' ''Soul House''), called Soul House in Generation II, paying respects to the deceased Pokémon there. In the house, there are hidden chambers that only Mr. Fuji has access to. | In [[Generation II]] and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Mr. Fuji doesn't have a prominent role.

* It is theorized that he may have been the inspiration for [[Dr. Fuji]] from ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', due to their similar names and history in studying {{p|Mew}}. However, Dr. Fuji is considerably younger than Mr. Fuji, leading to another theory that the senior Fuji is the junior Fuji's father. However, besides having the same surname and their shared interest in Mew, there is nothing to back this up. | * It is theorized that he may have been the inspiration for [[Dr. Fuji]] from ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', due to their similar names and history in studying {{p|Mew}}.

** At [[Pokémon Lab]] in [[Cinnabar Island]], there is a portrait of Mr. Fuji, where he is tagged as '''Dr. Fuji''', with this name supposedly used during his work in the Pokémon Lab. Furthermore, the interaction text with the portrait is of surprise from {{ga|Red}} or {{ga|Leaf}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} to the name, since Mr. Fuji is known to be kind | ** At [[Pokémon Lab]] in [[Cinnabar Island]], there is a portrait of Mr. Fuji, where he is tagged as '''Dr. Fuji''', with this name supposedly used during his work in the Pokémon Lab. Furthermore, the interaction text with the portrait is of surprise from {{ga|Red}} or {{ga|Leaf}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} to the name, since Mr. Fuji is known to be kind and wouldn't harm Pokémon whereas Dr. Fuji, as described in-game, conducted ill experiments on {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} such as {{p|Mew}}. This could possibly mean that perhaps Dr. Fuji is a younger Mr. Fuji in the {{pkmn|anime}} as well. Despite this, and like mentioned above, this is all speculation. | ||
