Miss International (''Miss International Beauty'' or ''The International Beauty Pageant'') is a Tokyo-based international beauty pageant organized by The International Culture Association. The pageant was first held in 1960.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Miss International : Info )〕 Miss International is part of the Big Three international beauty pageants. The current Miss International is Edymar Martínez of Venezuela who was crowned on 5 November 2015 in Tokyo, Japan. Traditionally, Miss International lives in Tokyo during her reign. ==History== The pageant was created in Long Beach, California, USA in 1960〔 after the departure of the Miss Universe pageant to Miami Beach.〔 Hosted in Long Beach until 1967,〔 the pageant moved to Japan from 1968–1970, being hosted each year in the same city as the Expo '70. For 1971 and 1972, it was held in Long Beach again, but since that time it has been held annually in Japan.〔 The pageant is also called "Miss International Beauty".〔 Contestants are expected to serve as "Ambassadors of Peace and Beauty", demonstrating tenderness, benevolence, friendship, beauty, intelligence, ability to take action, and, most importantly, a great international sensibility. The ultimate goal of the Miss International beauty pageant is to promote world peace, goodwill, and understanding.〔(History of Miss International ). Miss-international.org. Retrieved on 2010-10-21.〕 The organization has been criticized for not standing up for allegedly asking Ikumi Yoshimatsu, Miss International 2012, to skip the succession ceremony and "play sick and shut up" in order to avoid a scandal with a Japanese production company whose president allegedly were harassing Yoshimatsu.〔〔http://www.sponichi.co.jp/entertainment/news/2015/10/29/kiji/K20151029011408860.html〕 In 2013 edition, for the first time in history, the winner of Miss International 2012 Ikumi Yoshimatsu of Japan did not crown her successor; instead Miss International 2008 Alejandra Andreu took over in passing on the crown to Bea Santiago of the Philippines. This is also the first time when a past winner crowned two Miss Internationals, one in 2009 where she crowned Anagabriela Espinoza of Mexico. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Miss International」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
