is a Japanese announcer for Fuji TV. She is from Tokyo. She studied in Great Britain.
On September 2, 1998, while reporting for Mezamashi TV, Kikuma fell from a 5th story window while reporting on a device to help occupants escape in an emergency.[1] The accident happened when she tried to demonstrate the use of the escape system designed to lower an occupant to the ground from a window. The device was improperly secured to the building and so failed, resulting in a fall from four stories onto padding placed on the ground as a safety precaution for her planned descent. Kikuma survived, sustaining an injury to her waist. It took her three months to fully recover.
After this accident, Fuji TV announcers instituted a policy of avoiding dangerous reports.
Kikuma announced her retirement from Fuji TV in December 2007 to pursue studies in law, attending Omiya Law School.[2] She passed the bar exam in 2010.[1]
