-Social media lit up after Miyamoto's trail-blazing triumph as critics complained that Miss Universe Japan should instead have been won by a “pure“ Japanese rather than a “haafu“ -the Japanese for “half “, a word used to describe mixed race. “Before Ariana, haafu girls couldn't represent Japan,“ Yoshikawa said. Yoshikawa, born in Tokyo to an Indian father and a Japanese mother, vowed to continue the fight against racial prejudice in homogenous Japan, where multira cial children make up just 2% of those born annually .
