Controversy surrounds the newly crowned Miss Japan 2024, Carolina Shiino, a 26-year-old Japanese model born in Ukraine.

Hailing from Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, Carolina made history as the first naturalised Japanese citizen to clinch the prestigious title during the contest held in Tokyo on Monday.

Despite her fluency in Japanese, the victory has sparked debates on issues ranging from race to identity.

Carolina, who faced criticism for appearing "too European" according to social media comments, carried the weight of these challenges even as she tearfully accepted her crown.

The win marks a milestone in her journey to be embraced as a true Japanese, sparking conversations about the evolving notions of national identity and beauty standards.
