Miss Grand Japan 2017 (Japanese: 2017 ミス・グランド・ジャパン) was the third edition of the Miss Grand Japan pageant, held on September 12, 2017,[1][2] at the Selene Studio, Minato, Tokyo.[3][4] Eight contestants from different prefectures competed for the title.[4][5][6] At the end of the event, a 27-year-old MC and model from Kyoto, Erika Tsuji, was announced the winner,[2][7] while Arisa Katsumoto of Fukui and Aya Kitoya of Kumamoto were named the first and second runners-up, respectively.[2]

Erika Tsuji later represented Japan at the Miss Grand International 2017 pageant, held in Phú Quốc, Vietnam,[8] but was unplaced.[9]

The event was hosted by a Japanese radio personality and screenwriter, Ryusuke Kelly,[10] and featured a live performance by a Japanese electronic music artist trio group, Strom.[11]

Background

In the committee meeting arranged after the finishing of the Miss Grand Japan 2016 contest in September 2016, the schedule for the 2017 national competition was decided: the application to participate was set to be launched from February 1 to May 14, 2017, with the regional competition started from May to August, and the national final round on September 11.[12]

Of all the applicants, only 14 qualified for the semi-final round, in which six were eliminated, making the final of eight candidates who competed at the national final held on September 12, 2017, in Tokyo.[4]
