Hooters Japan Picks "Miss Hooters Japan 2018"

Hooters is a brand that many of us in the US are familiar with, but are you familiar with the Japanese branch of the restaurant chain?

Similar to contests of their type in the west, April 16, 2018 saw the eighth "Miss Hooters Japan Contest" be held in Shibuya, Tokyo. This annual event seeks to find the top Hooters girls throughout the active staff working at Hooters Restaurants across Japan. The winner of this contest will then participate at the Hooters International Championships held in the US in May, 2018.

This event was streamed on LINE LIVE, a video service operated by LINE which has more than 215 million users worldwide (as of December 2015) amd 58 million users in Japan alone (as of June 2015). More than 262,000 users watched the event over the course of the stream.

The competition consisted of the top fifteen Hooters girls from across Japan showing off their cute and glamorous sides by taking to the catwalk in outfits ranging from their standard Hooters uniforms, an original outfit, and a swimsuit. After a little over ninety minutes of competition, the top five girls were then chosen by both customers who attended the event, as well as a panel of judges. 

The Grand Prix winner was Nanako.K who is from the Hooters Restaurant of Akasaka, Tokyo. She will hold onto the title of Miss Hooters of Japan for the next year and will be representing Japan in May. Let's hope she takes the top prize!
