21-year-old Hiroko Mima has taken the title of Miss Universe Japan 2008, besting roughly 4000 other girls who vied for this coveted title. She’ll be represeting Japan at the Miss Universe pageant in Hanoi Vietnam.

She’s definitely pretty, but I don’t think she’s quite up their with Riyo Mori (Miss Universe Japan 2007) who was able to take the Miss Universe 2007 title last year.

Nonetheless, I wish her the best of luck in the competition this coming July!
