Miss Grand Japan 2015 (Japanese: 2015ミス・グランド・ジャパン) was the first edition of the Miss Grand Japan pageant, held on August 24, 2015, at the Happo-en [ja], Minato, Tokyo.[1][2][3] Twenty-two contestants competed for the title,[2] of whom a 25-year-old nurse representing Saitama, Ayaka Tanaka, was announced the winner, while Miyu Tanaka of Hyōgo was named Miss Face of Beauty Japan 2015.[1][3]

Ayaka Tanaka later represented Japan in the Miss Grand International 2015 pageant held in Bangkok, Thailand, on October 25, 2015, and won the Best Evening Gown award as well as was placed among the top 10 finalists.[4][5][6] Meanwhile, Miyu Tanaka competed internationally at the Face of Beauty International 2015 [es] contest in Taiwan, where she qualified to the top 15 finals.[7]

The event was organized by Intergo Co., Ltd. and Views Co., Ltd, (株式会社ヴューズ) with Eriko Yoshii [ja] and Ayako Suzuki as the companies' representatives, respectively.[1]

Pageant

[edit]

An application for the Miss Grand Japan 2015 was launched on April 1, 2015.[8] Through the seminar and online screening, only 32 applicants qualified for the semi-final round, held on July 4, 2015, at the Yurakucho station square, where the final 19 contestants were elected.[2][9] Together with the 3 revenge match winners, determined later at the Happo-en [ja], completed the twenty-two finalists,[2] who then entered the national final round held at the Happo-en on August 24.[1][2]

In the grand final round, the top 10 finalists, determined earlier in the preliminary competition held on August 23, were announced, followed by the top 5 finalists, who then competed in the question and answer section. Afterward, Miss Grand Japan 2015 as well as other supplemental title winners were named.[3][10]
