Kaoru Yumi dating mathematician

Actress Kaoru Yumi (59) is reportedly dating well-known mathematician Jin Akiyama (63), according to the latest issue of Josei Seven. Akiyama, who is divorced, has appeared on television shows and in commercials, including one for Tokyo Gas with actor Satoshi Tsumabuki (29).

Yumi and Akiyama are said to have the accordion in common. Akiyama started playing the instrument during his days at university. He later gave it up, but resumed playing about ten years ago, and he currently performs mini-recitals. Yumi, on the other hand, has learned instruments such as piano, and about a year ago she also started playing the accordion.

The two once performed at the same recital, and that encounter led to romance. They have reportedly been seen in public together multiple times, once on a bookshop date and once walking around holding hands.

Yumi’s agency acknowledges that they have performed together, but says that it does not know whether they are dating.
