Others also expressed pleasure that Japanese were making their names known across the globe.
"It is great that more young people in the entertainment business are venturing out into the world and being ambitious, not only in beauty pageants," said Yoko Sato, a 40-year-old housewife also attending the men's swimwear contest.
But some complained that Mori was not sufficiently representative of Japan, where meekness and modesty have long been qualities valued in women.
"She's not exactly a traditional Japanese beauty," one elderly woman told Fuji TV when shown a photograph of the beauty queen. "She's more of an exotic type."

In "Let It Be," Paul McCartney famously sang, "Mother Mary comes to me." But it was daughter Mary McCartney who bathed Dallas in a glow of charm while here for Wednesday's opening of her show at Goss Gallery.
Like her late mother, Linda McCartney, Mary is a photographer. "Playing Dress Up" is a three- part exhibit featuring photos of the London Ballet backstage, Kate Moss in fashion ads for sister Stella McCartney and behind-the-scenes shots at fashion events.
After stepping out for lunch, Mary returned to Goss Gallery to find a flower bouquet, a bottle of champagne and a good-luck note "from Dad."
Ms. McCartney is a vegan and was thrilled at Stephan Pyles restaurant to find she could order right off the menu. She became positively ecstatic when Stephan gave her one of his Southwestern vegetarian cookbooks.
The photographer is delightfully approachable and easy to be around. While in Dallas, she stayed at the Park Cities home that Goss Gallery owner Kenny Goss shares with his partner, pop star George Michael.
