Although heavily implied, this hasn't been guaranteed yet. Its convenient and it solves some problems, but it also causes other ones. Glaring ones in fact, like making a character masquerade between genders, limited timelines to switch between clothings to trick people and just the scale of it happening now for years without anyone noticing it.
If they really are the same person then you would need family members as accomplices trough out the games, Hideyoshi would have to lie about what he saw in EP1 (Possible Kanon could have been threating him in that scene without us knowing), the chapel scene in EP2 has Rosa witnessing both of them together so that would mean that she's an unreliable witness, same thing happens with Gohda in that very episode. EP3 would have have her switch between clothings and locking herself as Kanon inside the chapel and hoping no one notices anything, either that or the witnesses are unreliable and there was no one inside the chapel or the parlor.
As I said before, it would be a bigger surprise in the final game for them to be two different people and then solving the closed rooms etc without revolving around name/persona tricks and the like. Given the possibility of branching endings in EP8 I think there could be something for everyone.
