Hiroko Mima : Miss Universe Japan 2008

[Update : If you came here looking for the infamous Hiroko Mima sex tape, it can be found here.]

Japan has decided on its representative to this summer’s Miss Universe pageant: 21-year-old Hiroko Mima has been crowned Miss Universe Japan 2008.! Here are some photos from last night’s ceremony:

For more photos, check out Mainichi’s huge gallery of pics from the event.

She looks SE Asian…

I agree.

She looks something, but not particularly Japanese. The last winner was the same, as was the one before that…. It seems that in order to be win a beauty contest (aside from “Miss Todai” or something) in Japan, a girl has to look un-Japanese.

I probably see 5-6 women on my way to the train station every morning that are more attractive than she is.

ACiD

Yeah, ‘good looking’ must not be a criteria in this contest.

I was hoping Kana Anan would win … guess that’s not the case.

Where did they dig her up? That last photo makes her look like a Botoxed grandmother….

I was going to say the pics at Mainichi look like a bunch of well-worn dancing girls from an inaka Filipina pub. Not a pretty sight.

thai

god, I live in hawaii and there’re a lot of japanese girls over her, most of them is more beautiful than that. And what is a black guy doing in a miss japan contest???

He’s a prop. There were some caucasian props there as well.

tina

Wow , what a bunch of downers!!
I would have to say that unless you were there you shouldn’t bother commenting, she is a lovely girl with a lot of presence and beauty.
WHY are you talking about the “props”??
As for the comment that a French woman has been running the competition, is that the “French” woman that has catapulted Japan to the forefront of Miss Universe in a very short space of time?
My impression of these very talented and accomplished bilingual, lets not forget still very young women, is that they have an inner strength, I suspect that most of these comments are coming from males whose idea of a Japanese beauty is a little archaic and involves a lot more giggling………

the overthinker

“involves a lot more giggling”
No, a lot more titty…..

And I’m sure she has a wonderful personality…..

“No, a lot more titty…..”

We’re talking about Japanese women right?

the overthinker

I didn’t say big titties, I said a lot of them. In numbers. Mind you, some are quite nicely cleavage-enhancing, and without the corresponding muffin-top you get in Da West.

kay

even if she looks not japanese or not. she has a cat-face loL

I think it’s the hairstyle and makeup that made some of you think she doesn’t look Japanese. If you give her a “cancam” style makeover (i.e. drop the tan, dye hair in blond, the cancam style makeup..etc etc), she would look exactly like 20 other cute Japanese girls you see on the street.

well, the not so pale, on the brownish dark side is what we call exotic to the westerners here in manila, so that could explain as to why such kind of beauty is considered to be asian. i mean even ken watanabe is dark, soooo??

Oh jesus

Everytime there’s some post about one of these contests the “never had sex” crowd comes out blabbing about a)I’ve seen 200 girls at my train stop better looking! or b) Is she (some other Asian nationality) hooker or what? If you can only judge what “looks japanese” is based on your AV collection I guess you might have that opinion . . .

Sorry your favorite AV star is not . . . oh wait . . . lol

Cory

She is now! lol

Very nice! I saw the tape and wow she can take some anal and has one heck of a BJ deep throat. That was a lucky guy. both of those women were hot and can take some cock. A real dream.
Russvictoria (another filipina)

p.s the other girls much more prettier

Perhaps what Bonesdog meant was that the last 3 Ms Universe winners were not beauties typically considered classic Asian beauties with small faces, pale complexions and largish eyes.

The main reason might be due to the fact that a French woman has been in charge of the selection and training process. Miss Universe is not an Asian contest hence in order to win it, one has to appeal to the judges, who typically prefer the tanned, strong boned, olive eyed look typical to South Asian women.

Criterion: what the majority of Japanese around me look like. Ogura Yuko, just as an example, looks Japanese. Choi Ji-Woo, as another example, looks Korean. Neither looks particularly Chinese, just as Gerard Depardieu looks French not German, Sylvester Stallone looks Italian not Irish, and Prince Charles looks English not Russian.

Rule!

The Japanese are the mongrels of East Asia – with successive waves of immigration into the islands, there are distinct variations in facial type that are more pronounced than their neighbours. The two most notable differences are the “Jomon” and “Yayoi” facial types – the longer face vs the rounder face. Both of them are very definitely Japanese.

This relative diversity can make it difficult at times to say someone does or does not look Japanese. Some Japanese look Polynesian, and some even almost look European (and I do not mean the Ainu). But this person definitely does have a different look than the current fashion ideals and starlets. If I were shown her face in a isolated environment (ie without any clues by background or fashion – naked would be a good start) I would probably think she is a Filipina or Thai or something.

And I’ve been in Japan for the better part of two decades, so certainly don’t base my ideas on media images I was indoctrinated with before arriving.

But regardless of how “authentic” she looks, Japan can do FAAAAAR better….
the overthinker

I certainly wouldn’t put her as Polynesian myself.

And I think I am on the opposite regarding ugly faces. An ugly white face is uglier, simply as the features are than much more distinct. I would however not say one is prettier than the other. I’m not being PC here – I genuinely do not have a preference. There are blue-eyed blondes who can make me go weak at the knees (only the knees), but there are dark-eyed black-haired Asian girls who can do the same.
