In 2020, following her victory in the &#8220;High School Girl Miss Contest,&#8221; Hikaru Ohira, a third-year student in the Faculty of Literature at Aoyama Gakuin University, won the &#8220;Miss Aoyama&#8221; title in 2023 at the age of 21. If she also wins the Grand Prix at the &#8220;MISS OF MISS CAMPUS QUEEN&#8221; on March 12th, where winners from university beauty pageants across the country gather, she will achieve an unprecedented triple crown.

&#8220;I&#8217;ve been working hard to become Japan&#8217;s top female university student, just like I did during my high school years. I want to become someone that other women can admire.&#8221;
Hikaru attended Aoyama Gakuin University from kindergarten, and joined a talent agency in the first grade of elementary school, continuing her idol activities until she was 17.
&#8220;To be honest, I&#8217;m shy around people I don&#8217;t know well, but I tried to stand on stage as much as possible and sing and dance for the people who support me with their valuable time and money. As a result, the number of people supporting me has gradually increased.&#8221;

Her great-grandfather is Masayoshi Ōhira, who served as the 68th and 69th Prime Minister of Japan. While it&#8217;s common for descendants of prominent politicians like Daigo, the grandson of former Prime Minister Noboru Takeshita, to pursue careers in the entertainment industry, Hikaru has refrained from publicizing such lineage.
&#8220;I am me. I wanted to compete based on my own abilities. That&#8217;s why I also quit being an idol by my own will. I&#8217;m about to become a university student soon, and I want to explore new paths.&#8221;
Despite receiving enthusiastic offers from entertainment agencies that manage many female announcers, she turned a deaf ear to them. Currently, she is a student entrepreneur who has founded a company called &#8220;Queencard&#8221; and aims to be the youngest female executive to be listed on the stock market.
&#8220;It&#8217;s still in the preparatory stage, but I want to start a Femtech business that solves women&#8217;s health issues using the power of technology.&#8221;
Even if she achieves the remarkable feat of winning the three beauty pageants, it may just be a milestone in her life.
