Beauty polls about celebrities always get huge attention in Japan, especially when they involve Yua Mikami.
Besides the usual rankings like most beautiful face or most popular celebrity, there’s a special list that reflects public beauty trends: female artists whose looks clients most want to copy at cosmetic clinics.
Recently, a well-known cosmetic surgery chain revealed the top 5 female celebrities most mentioned by clients during consultations over the past year. The results quickly caught the online community’s attention, especially Yua Mikami’s spot.
Yua Mikami ranked second, just behind young idol Nagisa Saito. This was a bit surprising since Yua Mikami has long been one of the most famous and influential faces on Japanese social media. The full ranking from top to bottom is Nagisa Saito, Yua Mikami, Nozomi Sasaki, Kanna Hashimoto, and Asuka Saito.
According to doctors, Nagisa Saito is the most mentioned name among younger clients aged 10 to 20. The idol is known for her big eyes, youthful face, and harmonious features that fit current beauty trends.
Even though she didn’t take the top spot, Yua Mikami’s second place still drew a lot of attention. She has a massive following on social platforms, with millions of fans on Instagram and TikTok. Beyond her looks, Yua Mikami is praised for building a strong personal brand and maintaining her influence over the years.
After the ranking was released, many debates sparked on social media. Some were surprised Yua Mikami wasn’t number one, while others felt the results made sense since Nagisa Saito is currently the beauty icon favored by Japan’s youth.
However, doctors emphasize that cosmetic surgery can’t turn anyone into a perfect copy of a celebrity. Images of famous people mainly serve as references to help clients and doctors decide on styles and features they want.
Still, this ranking reflects the current beauty standards popular in Japan. Even at second place, Yua Mikami proves her strong appeal by surpassing many famous names to become one of the most admired faces in Japan’s cosmetic industry.
