PURPOSE: A coupling structure of a tube and a yoke for a propeller shaft is provided to reduce a weight of the coupling structure by bonding the yoke to a connector using adhesive and to improve NVH by increasing strength of the tube. CONSTITUTION: A connector(30) made of aluminum is inserted into a tube(10), which is formed by winding carbon fiber composite material(12) around a surface of an aluminum liner(11). The connector(30) is bonded to the aluminum liner(11). A yoke(20) made of steel is bonded to the connector(30). An outer peripheral portion of the connector(30) has a circular shape and an inner peripheral portion of the connector(30) has a hexagonal shape. The tube(10) is formed by drawing the aluminum liner(11) having a cylinder shape and depositing carbon fiber composite material(12) thereon by a predetermined thickness.
