Miss Universe Japan 2026 Preliminary Yoshiko Kuno also serves as a director of the General Incorporated Foundation Japan Miss Contest Association, and as a specialist in cosmetic medicine, she has been dedicated to the beauty and confidence of many women. In this judging, we comprehensively evaluated not only the finalists' external beauty but also their healthy beauty, inner confidence, expressiveness, intelligence, and potential as women active in the world. Cosmetic Medicine: "An Option to Shine in Your Own Way" In recent years, cosmetic medicine has expanded beyond simply improving appearance to become an option for living positively and true to oneself. At PRIDE CLINIC, we aim to provide medical treatments that enhance natural and elegant beauty while valuing each individual's unique personality and charm. Participating in the Miss Universe Japan judging deeply resonates with our clinic's philosophy of "cosmetic medicine for walking through life with confidence." Comment from PRIDE CLINIC Director Yoshiko Kuno Yoshiko Kuno, Director of PRIDE CLINIC Through the Miss Universe Japan judging, I was able to witness the participants' strength, beauty, effort, and potential for the future. Beauty is not solely defined by external appearance. I believe that the essential beauty that attracts people lies in understanding oneself, continuously refining oneself, and having the confidence to express it. As PRIDE CLINIC, we will continue to support each individual's life journey by providing cosmetic medicine that allows them to shine in their own way. Future Outlook PRIDE CLINIC will continue to support individuals who wish to live beautifully and true to themselves, regardless of age or status, through cosmetic medicine. Furthermore, through our activities with the Japan Miss Contest Association, we will support the challenges of women active worldwide and disseminate the value of healthy and elegant beauty from the perspective of cosmetic medicine.
