This week's issue of FRIDAY magazine has uncovered another celebrity romance. Popular comedian Yoshimi Tokui (33) of the duo Tutorial is currently in a relationship with actress Yui Natsukawa (40). They were seen a couple times at Natsukawa's apartment within the past few weeks.

Their romance reportedly developed after they both appeared in the Fuji TV drama series "Muri na Renai" last spring. In September, rumors surfaced after they were seen together at a yakiniku restaurant, but Tokui was thought to still be in a relationship with badminton player Reiko Shiota (25). However, Tokui only recently revealed that although he asked Shiota out around two years ago, she turned him down due to her training for the Beijing Olympics.

Unlike Tokui's rumored romances in the past, this time his agency Yoshimoto Kogyo confirmed the story. Natsukawa's management has also confirmed that they are dating.
