Japan’s most beautiful female college student, most handsome male college student crowned

Mar 29 (soranews24.com) - In Japan, college is seen as not only of higher education, but also high fashion. That’s because your four years at university are pretty much your only respite from the uniforms and haircut regulations of middle/high school and the conservative dress codes of most (though not all) Japanese offices.

As a result, college students are often considered to represent the peak of fashionable style and good looks, and so many campuses have beauty contests for both male and female students. Once a year, the Miss of Miss Campus Queen and Mr. of Mr. Campus contests bring these individual-school winners together and crown Japan’s most beautiful and most handsome college students, and this week the results for 2020 were announced.

2020’s Mr. of Mr. is Koki Hajime, a 21-year-old liberal arts major at Tokyo’s J.F. Oberlin University.

The new Miss of Miss Campus Queen, Moe Ishiwaki (@ohrei19_miss01 on Twitter), also attends school in Tokyo, studying in the College of Humanities and Sciences of Nihon University.
