The latest issue of Josei Seven reports that actress Saori Takizawa (27) is in a relationship with actor Kunito Watanabe (24). In mid-October, the two were seen leaving Takizawa's apartment and eating at a nearby ramen restaurant. After their meal, they headed back to her place while holding hands.

Takizawa has been cast in numerous supporting roles in television dramas. Since "Pride" in early 2004, she has appeared in at least one drama series during each of the last 20 seasons. Watanabe, on the other hand, has been a part of Ishihara Pro since 2002, when he was runner-up in a nationwide audition. He has been in dramas such as "Kuroi Taiyou" and "Dondo Bare."

Management for both celebrities stated that the two are just good friends.
