Hirofumi Fukai is a Japanese viola player (born in 1942). He was alto solo for the Berner Symphonieorchester, the Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg and the NDR Sinfonieorchester in Hamburg. At the same time, Fukai pursued a solo career, playing the premieres of several works by contemporary composers such as Frank Michael Beyer, Hans Werner Henze and Wolfgang Rihm.
