'Fur Queen' Ryoko Yonekura puts works before love
Actress Ryoko Yonekura, 35, is the winner of the 6th annual “Fur of the Year” award. The woman they call the “Queen of Fur” appeared on stage at a recent ceremony, draped in a Lynx pelt worth 5 million yen. As she accepted the award, she told the media: “I’m pretty tall, 168 cm, so if I wear long fur, I tend to look like a monster.”
When asked why there had been a dearth of romantic rumors about her recently, Yonekura replied, “There are just so many things I want to try and dreams I have yet to fulfill.” She then added, “I do think it’s important to have someone you like in your life, though.”
