Ayano Go & Sakuma Yui reportedly dating? - UPDATED

Ayano Go is reportedly dating Sakuma Yui who is 13 years younger than him. According to news reports on 31 December, the two of them were introduced to each other early last year and became friends due to their common interests such as watching movies. They were said to have begun dating since spring but in order to avoid the public eye, Sakuma would usually go to Ayano's apartment in Shibuya for their dates. It was also reported that Ayano had introduced Sakuma to his colleagues and senior in the same agency Oguri Shun.

Ayano was most recently seen in the TBS Autumn 2015 drama "Kounodori" while Sakuma was the lead in FujiTV Autumn 2015 drama "Transit Girls".

In response to reports about their rumoured relationship, Ayano's agency denied the news and said that although they have been out to have meals together, it was always in the company of other friends and they have not met alone. As such, it was surprising that this type of news came out and that it was not true that Ayano had introduced Sakuma as his girlfriend to Oguri. At the same time, Sakuma's agency also claimed that Ayano is merely a friend of Sakuma and that they are not dating.
