Congratulations Ms Riyo Mori ^[1], Miss Universe 2007.

What is your career ambition?
To open my own dance school in Tokyo! My mother runs a successful dance school outside of Tokyo and we plan to expand my family’s love for the performing arts by opening an international dance school in Tokyo, the capital of Japan and a crossroads for many cultures. My plan is to hire teachers who speak a number of languages so that I can host students from around the world. Opening my own school will allow me to live and teach my passion for dancing while being an independent businesswoman.

Ms Mori is the second Miss Japan to win the crown. In 1959, the lovely Ms Akiko Kojima (born in Tokyo 1936) became the first Asian woman ever to win the pageant.
