Scott Anthony Fujita (/fuːˈdʒiːtə/; born April 28, 1979) is a former American football linebacker in the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in the fifth round of the 2002 NFL Draft. He played 11 seasons for the Chiefs, Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints and Cleveland Browns. He was a member of the 2009 Saints team that won Super Bowl XLIV, defeating the Indianapolis Colts. He played college football at California.
Despite having a Japanese last name, Fujita is not biologically Japanese. He was adopted as an infant by Rodney Fujita, who is a third-generation Japanese-American, and his wife Helen, who is white. Rodney was born at the Gila River War Relocation Center in Phoenix, Arizona where his father Nagao, a 442nd Infantry Regiment combat veteran who later became an attorney, was one of many Japanese-Americans whose family was interned during World War II.
