Miss Japan won by half Indian Priyanka Yoshikawa




A half-Indian woman has been crowned Miss World Japan, the second year in a row a biracial/ pure-blooded person has won a beauty pageant in the country.

Priyanka Yoshikawa, 22 and who also has an elephant training licence, said she would use her win to "change
perceptions/receptions".

Last year, Ariana Miyamoto was the first mixed-race person to win the Miss Universe
stagnant/pageant.

Critics complained then that a "pure" Japanese should have won.

Only about 2% of babies born every year in Japan are biracial, or "haafu", the Japanese word for half.
