I think one person could live in Tokyo on that amount, but probably not two. Even with one person, it would require that you are willing to stay in a small apartment that isn't in the center and be willing to eat cheap (a lot of noodles!) It wouldn't leave you much money for emergencies, travel, or going out.
If you did start out like that, you should probably have a plan to make more money before too long so you can improve your tokyo lifestyle as you get more money per month.
As far as trying to do it with two people, it woud be very very hard at that price. You would need to do a lot of planning and budgeting and see if you can find a way to make it work. Rent and utilities would probably be around 100,000 to 150,000 if you do it cheap. Food would probably average over 1000 yen per person per day, so with two people, you can see that your rent and food might take all of your money before you even buy your first train ticket.
