Hiroko Mima, a 21-year old university student, won the Miss Universe Japan contest last week in Vietnam. Japan's been tearing up the contest over the past couple of years—Riyo Mori won first place last year, and Kurara Chibana (a national favorite) was the first runner up the year before. Let's see how Miss Mima does this summer.
When Riyo Mori was chosen to represent Japan last year, a lot of people weren't happy because she didn't exude the image of the quiet, beautiful, intelligent Japanese woman. In fact, the outgoing, stern-faced beauty proved herself to be a blatant airhead when she forgot to bring her passport on a trip during her stint in a beauty queen reality show.
Judging from this provocative performance, it doesn't look like Mima is exactly demure, either.

She has interesting facial bone structure. If I had to guess, I wouldn't have picked Japanese heritage right off. Not even in top five guesses.
She is definitely easy on the eye.
