Its purpose since 2002
According to the organizers, since 2002 Miss Nikkey Japan has opened doors for dozens of young people from the community who dream of a modeling career. Daniela Nishikawa insists, however, that this is not the event’s main goal.
“The intention, since 2002, has been to promote integration among the audience and camaraderie among the participants, and to open an artistic and cultural space for the groups, schools and academies that perform, as well as new business opportunities for the companies that exhibit products and services. And we carry on with this purpose,” the producer says.
