Actress Erika Sawajiri (40) and A.B.C-Z member Ryosuke Hashimoto (33) are reportedly dating, according to Josei Seven.

The magazine reported that the two were recently spotted having dinner together at an Italian restaurant in Tokyo. They reportedly spent approximately two hours at the restaurant before visiting a bar and later heading home separately.

Sawajiri and Hashimoto previously co-starred in the stage production Pygmalion earlier this year. The production ran from January across Tokyo, Nagoya, Fukuoka, and Osaka. According to an entertainment industry source cited by Josei Seven, the two grew closer while working together on the production.

Hashimoto had previously praised Sawajiri's dedication during rehearsals, saying, "What’s amazing about Erika-san is that she gives 120% during the rehearsal period."

Neither Sawajiri nor Hashimoto has publicly confirmed the reported relationship.
