Are Kento Yamazaki (Arisu) and Tao Tsuchiya (Usagi) Married/Dating in Real Life
The on-screen chemistry between Kento Yamazaki (Arisu) and Tao Tsuchiya (Usagi) left everyone wondering if the two were dating in real life as well. In 2016, rumors started circulating after the two were spotted together, and their collaborations in Orange and Alice in Borderland only fueled the speculation.
But both the actors kept their personal lives private, and no confirmation was ever issued. Even when portraying an on-screen romance, their relationship remained strictly professional. So are they married then?
Tao Tsuchiya’s Marriage and Kento Yamazaki’s Status
No. Tao Tsuchiya is married, but not to her on-screen co-star. In January 2023, she announced her marriage to Ryota Katayose, a singer and actor from Generations from Exile Tribe. The couple also revealed they were expecting their first child.
Kento Yamazaki, on the other hand, remains unmarried as of 2025. Despite past speculation about relationships, including with Tao, he never confirmed anything publicly. For now, fans know him best through his projects, not his private life.
However, it will be exciting to see Tao Tsuchiya and Kento Yamazaki back on screen together inAlice in Borderland Season 3. This time, their relationship will be pushed to the limit as the Joker card enters the game.
