Mina Hayashi, 23, took out the Grand Prix award at the finals of the 42nd Miss Japan Contest held in Shinjuku.
The Kagawa-born beauty - 167 cm tall and sporting a slender 79-56-85 figure - beat 3,662 other ladies to finish on top, and could not hold back the tears of joy. She said she had hoped to become an actress ever since she saw Audrey Hepburn in “Roman Holiday,” and aspired to be like actress Sayuri Yoshinaga, 64.
