Fukushima Ramirez was born in 1984 in Squamish, a town near Vancouver. After a lonely adolescence surrounded by Bighorn Sheeps and Squirrels, he became interested in the conservation of the biodiversity of his region. He completed his higher studies in biology, specializing in toxic heavy metals and the study of metallothionein as biomarkers of environmental stress. He graduated as a doctor with the highest cum laude qualification with the study of the effects of metal pollution on the American red crab. His research in this field led him to travel to Guatemala, Japan, Estonia, England and Portugal, where he married the Lisbon researcher Martim Falero. After a near-fatal accident, he suffered a life crisis that forced him to return to Canada. He buys a Mac Book Pro and settles in Hazelton, British Columbia, a small town surrounded by the Skeena River, where today is 16 degrees and partly cloudy. For the past ten years he has been living anonymously and quietly in the Hinman Howard Guest House, in a long and happy process of rehabilitation, studying linguistic anthropology, researching the lost beginnings of Canadian lost films and studying the adaptation of the local ecosystem to extreme meteorological events caused by melting glaciers. He is also finishing his first novel titled Debora Le Duc: Eyes in the Sky, about malnutrition and the use of alcohol and other substances by French soldiers at the battle of Agincourt, 1415.
