Maika Yamamoto & Kentaro Ito Display’s Couple Connections on Date

Ito returned to acting with the lead role in the stage play “Soulful Soul” in October 2021, and in 2022, he starred in the movie “Fuyusoubi” (Winter Rose). As he mentioned in an interview with FRIDAY magazine (October 27, 2023 issue), he has been busy with dramas and movies, leading a hectic life.

Yamamoto’s career has been smooth sailing as well. However, in January 2022, “Shukan Bunshun” magazine scooped a Disney date between Yamamoto and Hiro (29), the vocalist of the rock band “My First Story.” It was reported as intimate dating, leading to speculation that Yamamoto and Ito were heading down separate paths.

 The stage was once again set at a Chinese chain restaurant with a full table.

After finishing their meal in about an hour, they parted from their acquaintances and walked toward the main street. The time was just before midnight. The street was still full of drunken customers, but while waiting at a traffic light, Ito acted strangely. While waiting at a traffic light, Ito acted strangely. He put his hand around Yamamoto’s well-developed stomach from behind, lifted him up, and started to cross the pedestrian crossing.

“Kya~!”

Yamamoto’s scream echoed in the late-night crowd, but her expression was truly joyful.

After that, the two returned to their Tokyo apartment together in an SUV with Yamamoto at the wheel. In fact, it was at this apartment that their agency’s pickup truck dropped them off and where they went out and came back together. As far as FRIDAY could tell, they were living together.

One of the most impressive scenes was last Christmas. Ito left her “love nest” with a male acquaintance and headed for the suburbs of Tokyo via expressway, disguising herself as Santa Claus in the car. He and an acquaintance dressed as reindeer met up with Yamamoto. After a Christmas dinner at a ramen restaurant, the group drove off to the “love nest.

“Last year, when Bunshun reported on Ito and Yamamoto’s date again, there was a bit of a stir among fans about whether Hiro or Ito was the real deal. However, in reality, Yamamoto flatly denied any romantic involvement with Hiro, stating they were just friends and went to Disney with four people. As for Ito, she explicitly stated, ‘We get along well’ and ‘I want to support him.'” (Entertainment agency executive)

At a certain event, when asked about romance, Yamamoto said the following,

“I want to date and eventually marry someone I love.”

It’s undeniable that Ito, who has overcome difficulties and further strengthened their bond, is undoubtedly the most important person to Yamamoto.
