Tomokane, fresh from winning the overall title in the 2014 edition of the Mariana Islands Bodybuilding Dee Clayton Classic on Saipan last week, will be competing in the physique division along with Gerald Galang.
Jun Ming will try his luck in the bodybuilding category, while Chom Star Gordon will join in the women’s bikini contest.
Tomokane, a 21-year-old Gold’s Gym personal trainer, was the top welterweight in the Dee Clayton Classic then earned the judges’ nod for the overall crown against bantamweight and lightweight champions Ming and Tristan Ecalnea.
Galang, meanwhile, placed second behind Vince Aldan in the Open Physique division, while Gordon ruled the Women’s Bikini and Physique classes against Stephanie Yagi and Mona Indalencio Corpuz.
Japanese bets are also expected to vie for top honors in the Bodybuilding (junior, open and Masters), Physique (male and female open), Body Fitness or Figure (male and female open), and Bikini categories.
