Ikumi Yoshimatsu (吉松 育美, Yoshimatsu Ikumi, born 21 June 1987) is a Japanese actress, social activist and beauty queen who was crowned Miss International 2012 in Okinawa.[1] It was Japan's first Miss International win in the 52-year history of the pageant.[2][3][4][5]

Yoshimatsu started the "STALKER-ZERO" campaign to introduce strict new laws to protect victims of stalking and intimidation in Japan, after becoming the first high-profile woman to go public with her own personal experience in an international press conference.

She obtained a degree in education and international education at the University of the Sacred Heart in Tokyo, Japan.
