part italian?[edit]

I know her name is very common in Japan, but it's very common also in Italy, see for example here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cesare_Mori ...

I don't think so. Using your logic, I can also argue that Cesare Mori is part-Japanese. Highly unlikely, isn't it? Mori is a common Japanese name; it means "woods" or "forest". Hope that answers your question.
in 1872, Italy hadn't japanese tourists living there, while actually there are some italian japanese celebrities... and she looks like mixed, imho...

Mistake[edit]

There has been a mistake, she is incumbent as both MUJ and MU but it says Akiko Chubachi has succeeded her as MUJ. This is untrue, Akiko Chubachi is 2nd runner up in MUJ 2007.

I'm not really sure about the arrangement in Miss Japan Universe, but usually, when a candidate wins the Miss Universe, she "relinquishes" the title she won in her home country. And her first runner-up in the local pageant would succeed her in that title. This is the arrangement used in the Miss USA (e.g. when the contestant won the Miss Universe title in 1995 and 1997). In the case of Japan, this might also hold true, but Riyo's 1st runner-up in the local pageant did not take the offer to be the new Miss Japan (until the next one is chosen in 2008), so the title went to the 2nd runner-up. 202.57.35.55 (talk) 07:35, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mistake - continued[edit]

Furthermore MUJ 2008 hasn't been held yet therefore she is incumbent.

Changed height to 5'9'[edit]

She is 5'9' according to Miss Universe organisation and it also says so in Japanese version of Wikipedia.
