In Miss International , Ikumi Yoshimatsu , Miss International 2012 was the first titleholder of the pageant from Japan to be dethroned shortly before the end of her reign . She was ordered by The International Culture Association ( Miss International organizer ) to skip the succession ceremony and " play sick and shut up " out of fear of scandal . The Miss International organizer cited the reason for her dethronement was due to her involvement in a contract dispute with a talent agency in which she claimed that she was pressured to sign by Burning Productions , a film production company which is rumored to be linked with the Japanese underworld , but she refused and went ahead by starting her own company . Yoshimatsu filed criminal charges against one of Japan 's most powerful talent agency executives , Genichi Taniguchi of Burning Productions , for allegedly stalking , intimidating , and harassing her . Instead of crowning her successor ( who would be Bea Rose Santiago of the Philippines ) , Miss International 2008 Alejandra Andreu of Spain , who was also part of the panel of judges formally took over the duty of crowning
