Mister Japan

Mister Japan is an national male beauty pageant responsible for selecting Japan's representatives to the Manhunt International and Mister International pageant.

History

The contest seeks to discover men who are not only good-looking, but also possess "intelligence, emotion, humanity, inner self, confidence," and who are highly expressive. Once selected as Mr. Japan, the man will then become involved in charity work and various media activities, establishing an image of a man who can be active on the international stage as a Japanese opinion leader.
