Josei Seven reports that actress Ryoko Yonekura may have found a new romance with an unlikely partner. According to the magazine, she and comedian Atsushi Tamura (of London Boots) were seen in December walking together at night in Roppongi.

The two appeared together on "London Hearts" last February, and one skit had Tamura hitting on Yonekura. Josei Seven says that his advances became serious after the show, and it appears to have paid off.

Yonekura previously dated kabuki actor Ebizo Ichikawa, and last year was rumored to be dating former soccer star Hidetoshi Nakata. As for this recent rumor, Yonekura's agency said it had not heard about a relationship.
