Behind Yuriko Yoshitaka’s Supportive Relationship with Boyfriend Who Looks Like Matsuya Onoe

Yuriko Yoshitaka (35) plays the leading role of Murasaki Shikibu in the 2024 NHK historical drama “Hikaru Kimi e”. The man who supports her behind the scenes is her handsome boyfriend who looks like Matsuya Onoe. It was reported in mid-June 2023 that the two were in a serious relationship. In September 2022, we saw them for the first time, in October 2022, and in mid-May 2023, we saw them three times. Yoshitaka always wore a rough style and looked relaxed.” We recount the details based on an article distributed on June 13, 2023 (ages and titles in the article are current at the time of publication).

The drinking session going on in the restaurant had already lasted over five hours, but the liquor orders were far from over–they were still going strong.

On a night in mid-May 2023, actress Yuriko Yoshitaka (34) was seen at an izakaya in Nishiazabu (Minato Ward), Tokyo. After finishing work in the evening, Yoshitaka joined several friends at the izakaya. The party was lively, and it was around 10:30 pm when Yoshitaka left the restaurant. A tall, stout man was standing next to him. He was a handsome man with clear-cut eyes and nose, reminiscent of the actor Matsuya Onoe. After parting with their friends, the two disappeared into the night in an intimate atmosphere.

 

Yoshitaka will play the leading role for the first time in the NHK historical drama “Hikaru Kimi e” in 2024. This handsome man, Mr. A, is behind the scenes supporting Yoshitaka’s breakthrough. An acquaintance of Yoshitaka’s reveals, 

“Mr. A is a company employee. They met through a mutual acquaintance and started dating about a year ago. Yoshitaka trusts Mr. A, who is close in age and very patient.”

This is not the first time the two were spotted by this magazine. In late September 2022, the two were spotted enjoying sushi in Roppongi (Minato Ward). They were both dressed casually. They enjoyed dinner until after 9 p.m., and then returned to Yoshitaka’s apartment. Also in early October 2022, the two were seen enjoying a machuka in Roppongi.

 

“I think their relationship is officially approved by the office. Whenever she goes out with Mr. A, she is often picked up and dropped off in the office’s car. It seems that sometimes they have dinner together with the office staff with whom they are good friends.”

When we confirmed the fact of their relationship with Yoshitaka’s office, they replied, “We leave her private life to her.”
