It was suspected that the former Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) housemate was g@y.

This happened after a TikTok dance video of him and a non-actor whom internet users thought was his partner. The video also shows the content creator and a Japanese online celebrity dancing with the non-showbiz person behind him.

A online user even commented: “Finally, ni-reveal mon a jowa mo.”

Another online user noted: “Congrats fumiya with your boyfriend!”

As soon as the video became viral, Fumiya received a flood of inquiries regarding his gender. He claimed,  “Akala ko my dance is very nice that’s why it’s trending.”

The former PBB housemate, however, clarified the issue by saying, “I respect LGBT. Very respect. Pero I’m very, very straight. We are really straight.”

Fumiya was grateful that the video received more than five million views despite the negative reviews.

With FumiShun Base, where he posted vlogs on knowing regarding Filipino culture, Sankai initially rose to prominence. On YouTube, Sankai has more than 2.2 million subscribers.
