Yes. Naoto feels like her life as a professional detective would have been easier if she wasn't a woman (and that might be been an accurate assessment, although it might also have a bit to do with the fact that she is like 16). Kanji feels that his interest for the family business clashes with him being a guy.

I always felt that they were introduced around the same time for a reason. They show an interest for each others (well, kanji does anyway) before even joining the investigation team.
