[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] Sayuri Fujita (41), a Japanese-born broadcaster who recently made headlines for giving birth as a single mother, revealed that she received sperm donation from a Westerner.


On the 25th, Sayuri uploaded a video on her YouTube channel explaining the process of becoming a single mother by receiving sperm donation and giving birth.


Regarding the criteria for selecting sperm, Sayuri said, "First, I wanted sperm from a healthy person who does not drink or smoke," and added, "I also looked for someone with a higher EQ than IQ."


She continued, "I didn't really care if the person was smart or good at studying," and said, "I valued empathy?the ability to understand what others are thinking?very highly."

She further explained, "Without caring about nationality, I looked for a healthy person with high EQ, so I ended up receiving sperm from a Westerner," adding, "Perhaps due to cultural differences, there are not many sperm donors who are East Asian." The statement was accompanied by a subtitle saying, 'Sayuri wants to clear up the current misunderstanding by some people that the sperm is from a Japanese donor.'


On the 27th, Sayuri also shared a photo of her son with blue eyes and fair skin on Instagram.


Previously, on the 4th of last month, Sayuri gave birth naturally to a son in Japan. This was a single motherhood birth, using sperm donated and stored at a sperm bank in Japan.



Regarding this, Sayuri said, "I wanted to have a baby, but I did not want to rush into marriage with someone I did not love just for childbirth," and added, "After much consideration, I decided to become a single mother."
