Othello (オセãƒ, osero), is a female Japanese comedy duo (kombi) who, once famous for their manzai act, are now both popular television talents and appear frequently on Japanese variety shows. The two comedians, Tomoko Nakajima (ä¸å³¶çŸ¥å, born on 26 August, 1971), and Nahomi Matsushima (æ¾å¶‹å°šç¾Ž, born on 2 December, 1971) are sometimes known as black and white othello, respectively, perhaps because Nakajima has a much darker skin than Matsushima.
