On November 15, some sports papers reported that former AKB48 member Kuramochi Asuka (30) is dating rugby player Inagaki Keita (29). 

According to reports, Kuramochi met Inagaki through a mutual acquaintance a few years ago when she picked up a feature on rugby as a newscaster. They started dating this summer. 

Kuramochi's agency neither confirmed nor denied the reports, stating, "She is an adult already, so we leave private matters up to her."
