Miss Japan (Japanese: ミスジャパン) is a national beauty pageant in Japan. The pageant first ran from 1952 to 1995 and was led by Yoshinaga (Japanese-American Press). In 2019, the Miss Japan pageant returned with Akihiro Yoshida, Takako Hashimura, Ichiro Tahara and Takahide Kitai, from the HDR Corporation, all as senior directors.[1] The HDR Corporation started the new Miss Japan competition after they lost the franchises for both Miss Universe and Miss Earth.[2][3]

The HDR Corporation also operates the Miss and Mister Supranational contest.[4]
