A subgraph of an edge‐colored graph is said to be properly colored, or shortly PC, if any two adjacent edges have different colors. Fujita, Li, and Zhang gave a decomposition theorem for edge‐colorings of complete bipartite graphs without PC C 4 . However, their decomposition just focuses on a local structure. In this paper, we give a new and global decomposition theorem for edge‐colorings of complete bipartite graphs without PC C 4 . Our decomposition gives a corollary on the existence of a monochromatic star with almost sharp bound.
