A Clarion Girl is a Japanese campaign girl chosen to represent the Clarion car audio products in television and print advertising campaigns. A new representative is chosen annually, and many careers have been launched or enhanced due to being selected during the annual contest. The Clarion Girl campaigns began in 1975 with the selection of Agnes Lum as the first Clarion Girl. Setsuko Karasuma, Masumi Miyazaki, and RenhÅ were chosen in following years. As of 2002, Clarion stopped selecting one per year, and began working jointly with Fuji TV, expanding into internet advertising.

I want you to tell the people of San Francisco that no city can exist without law and order. Write a story about that flag, write about what verifies and brings a promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. There are some people in this town who don’t seem to know that. Let The Clarion tell them.”
—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
