They quickly fell in love and became acouple. For seven years, Yoshitaka believed there was only a 15-year age gap between him and his partner, according to theSouth China Morning Post.
Aki’s excellent skincare routine and health conditions helped her maintain a youthful appearance, soYoshitaka never suspected that the love of his life was hiding something from him.
This doesn’t mean that she never felt anxious about her lie.Fearing thatYoshitaka would leave her if he ever discovered the truth about her age, shekept dropping subtle hints, such as leaving her passport and insurance card on the table, hoping he would open them.

However, these indirect confessions never worked, asYoshitaka kept reminding Aki to put her important documents away in case she lost them.
When the pair decided to take the next step in theirrelationship, Aki felt that she couldn’t carry on with her lie.
On the eve of saying “I do,” she revealed her true age to her boyfriend.
“What matters is why you didn’t tell me earlier so you wouldn’t have to worry for so long.”
After tying the knot, Aki and Yoshitaka quit their jobs to travel around Japan in a campervan.

The couple, who have shared the story of their “reverseage gap” with their 18,000YouTubesubscribers, now run Airtel, an air conditioner cleaning business.
Part of the reason Aki lied is that Japanese society remains prejudiced against couples where the woman is significantly older than the man.
“Older men can proudly show off how young and beautiful their wives are, but many women who are older than their husbands often hesitate to reveal their relationships to others,” she said, as perSouth China Morning Post.
In Western societies, words like “cougars” and “toyboy” reflect this form of prejudice in which the older woman is seen as a predator who objectifies innocent men.
Instead of judging women for dating younger men, Aki believes we should “accept various forms of couples.”
