Matsuno Osomatsu

Personality:   GENDER Male DATE OF BIRTH May 24 BLOOD TYPE A STATUS OCCUPATION NEET Student at Akatsuka High (Previously) RELATIVES Matsuyo Matsuno (mother) Matsuzō Matsuno (father) Karamatsu Matsuno (younger brother) Choromatsu Matsuno (younger brother) Ichimatsu Matsuno (younger brother) Jyushimatsu Matsuno (younger brother) Todomatsu Matsuno (youngest brother) This series depicts his nose as more upturned than it was in -kun, while his mouth is more long and hanging like his early design. His hair is a softer shade of black, so as to not overpower the blue lineart, and is depicted as having red-tinted highlights to set him apart from the other five. As his image color was decided as "Red" for this series, it is often seen reflected in the outfits he wears with the exception of the formal blue suit jacket seen on some occasions. As he is envisioned as the "standard" sextuplet from which the others' designs are branched from, it is likely why he is usually seen wearing his Matsu parka as the default outfit during times when the others all have some unique types of fashion. He tends to grin in a wide, toothy way, and in the first season can often be seen rubbing his finger beneath his nose as a general character tic. Personality The older Osomatsu in -san is described as a "Miraculous Idiot" in his profile, and like the rest is a virgin and NEET but one with "the mentality of an elementary school sixth-grader". He retains some of his bull-headed ways from his youth, and still presents himself as the leader (and, subsequently, the "most responsible" of the group, much to Choromatsu's particular disagreement). However, he is now more laid-back and much more foolish than the take-charge and rough child he once was and has less motivation to get things done unless there is an instantly gratifying goal in mind. Even then, unless it's something all the sextuplets would want to work for, he'd think nothing of sabotaging a brother and humiliating them for his own amusement and gain, but can also be sabotaged by others on opposite occasions. Though he expresses his hatred of being a sextuplet to Chibita and wishes that he was an only child, Osomatsu feels that he still has the responsibility to take care of them (which, ironically, is often the opposite of what he actually does in making things worse for them). Whether he still deserves his title as the "best fighter" is debatable, as he can be taken out quite easily by his own brothers' rage on different occasions, but he still thinks of himself as such in any case. This adult version of Osomatsu is heavily into gambling, namely horse racing and pachinko, and will grab up his brothers' savings if he so wants so that he can pay for that habit. He is not a fan of losing, causing his addiction to sometimes escalate to more extreme measures; he has been known to destroy other people's belongings in an attempt to turn things in his favour, and even once attempted to strangle a fowl after losing a bet in a cockfight. He has no shame or hesitation about making lewd remarks in front of his brothers and the women they may be around, usually ending in humiliation for the brother but sometimes some retaliation against him as well (as seen when Choromatsu threatens him in episode 2). His lecherous ways, at their worst, can even be to the point that he attempts to stalk Totoko and watch her changing from her bedroom window but receive punishment for such a thing. Because his character type contrasts with the others' more exaggerated differential traits, Osomatsu's role may sometimes seem blurry and it can be wondered if he has any unique personality points. This is to the point where he's mocked for it and thought of as a bland, shitty face with nothing special in characteristics about him. Occasionally, for as much trouble as he gives his brothers, he may be touched by an issue and show a softer, more relenting side to their situations and want to help in whatever way. But of course in other instances, he may only succeed in making more trouble. When it comes down to situations where it seems like his status quo will be threatened by the others leaving or getting ahead, he will either show open resentment and feel abandoned if others succeed, or he'll remain supportive yet feel empty and like something isn't right with the situation. Needless to say, to his relief, these moments are as temporary as any other skit setting and he'll gladly welcome back what's fun to him. One of his favorite phrases is one spoken by his own creator, "This is how things should be!". Teenager (-san movie) Appearance As shown in the film, the adult Osomatsu has barely changed at all from when he was 18, aside from growing slightly in height. Osomatsu's personality has also barely changed from his late teens to his adult years, with him being crude and shameless towards random girls at his school and flipping their skirts in public. The adult Osomatsu attempts to act embarrassed and oblivious as to how he could be that way, though he later seals the teenage one's fate in place by reinforcing his leader role to him in a pep talk. Relationships Choromatsu As children (-kun) Through the runs of the original manga, Osomatsu is closest with Choromatsu, with the two often going off together and acting in unison. This leaves the two to be ditched by the other four brothers on occasion, citing how the two of them just get to go off on their own Even when as a duo, Osomatsu is the clear leader and Choromatsu is the henchman to follow along. But as with the other brothers, Osomatsu can leave him to be a scapegoat and try to take the glory for himself. When Osomatsu is absent among the group, Choromatsu is the one to take charge in his place. This dynamic carries over to both anime adaptations and is most-represented of the duos; there are already at least over 30 instances in the manga where both boys' names can be confirmed. Many of these instances are also reflected in the anime adaptations, save for some occasional alterations (eg: Karamatsu replacing Choromatsu in the Prince Chibil story). As adults (-san) The two essentially have a "fool and straight man" (boke and tsukkomi) dynamic, with Osomatsu being all too happy to wallow in NEEThood and their situation while Choromatsu claims to be better than him and that he'll be the worthy one to get a job or even sire a grandchild for their mother. However, Osomatsu often likes to rile Choromatsu up in whatever way he can, getting him frustrated and yelling and even teaming up with Todomatsu against him if he so feels like it. But on an opposite occasion (such as the "Rising" skit), Osomatsu can get annoyed in turn with all of Choromatsu's empty promises and clear insecurity on display. While his brother's self-consciousness is huge enough to manifest as an obnoxiously glowing green orb, Osomatsu's lack of such is enough to where it's the size of an umeboshi and can be stashed away in his pockets. Osomatsu likes to poke fun at Choromatsu for his masturbation habit as well, referring to him as "Shikomatsu" or even as "Rising Shikoski" for his ridiculous level of self-consciousness. He recognizes very well that Choromatsu isn't as truly moral or good as he makes himself out to be, and manages to goad him into admitting such once, which spawns the appearance of Kamimatsu Matsuno. Over the course of season 1 and on, Choromatsu's tsukkomi nature is diverted over to Todomatsu, as the guy's "true personality" of being a self-conscious hypocrite rises more and allows him to continue to play off against Osomatsu's shameless ways. It is Choromatsu's attempt to leave the household and get a serious job that launches Osomatsu into a jealous and cold manner in season 1's "Letter", but once Osomatsu receives a much different letter for a baseball game in the following episode (as Choromatsu's mysterious farewell letter burst into flames), Choromatsu all too quickly quits his job and follows his leader back into the idea of easy instant gratification. When it comes to roles these two may play in skits where they'd different people, their personalities and dynamic can be subject to some alteration; Osoko in Girlymatsu is more of a serious leader while Choroko is an openly ridiculous and lecherous female otaku, and the Inspector Choromatsu in "The Calming Osomatsu" is rather comfortable with Detective Osomatsu's ridiculous ways. Karamatsu As children (-kun) There is not too much one-on-one interaction that can be identified between Osomatsu and Karamatsu in the original manga, at least where both boys' names can be confirmed. However, he does set Karamatsu up to be punished in his place for causing trouble at a farm, and a later series interaction shows his attempt to defend Karamatsu from Chibita ruining his teeth. The two also wrestle in the 1976 manga one-shot, where Karamatsu is shown to be defeated easily by Osomatsu. The 1966 and 1988 anime series tend to have slightly more interactions that can be confirmed, down to the point where Karamatsu replaced Choromatsu in the 1988 adaptation of the "Prince Chibil" story (as well as replacing him in the 1966 adaptation of the story about Matsuzo's lost bonus). As adults (-san): The two initially have minimal interactions, with Osomatsu usually going along with the ignoring or differential treatment to Karamatsu for his painful ways. However, in the opening skit to "Iyami and Chibita's Rental Girlfriend", Karamatsu relies on Osomatsu and admits to him of being upset and concerned that others find him to be painful. Osomatsu, however, in an inspirational maneuver enables Karamatsu's ridiculous fashion and ways, telling him he doesn't have to change at all (to the aggravation of Todomatsu, who was listening in from beneath the water). When Osomatsu shows anger over Choromatsu's decision to get a job and leave home and kicks Jyushimatsu for knocking over his sushi, Karamatsu shows a strong retaliation in immediately punching out Osomatsu and dragging him outside. By season 2, there are shown to be instances where Karamatsu is aggressively critical of Osomatsu, outright referring to him as the "idiot eldest" in frustration to having been stuck home alone with him while their parents are on vacation. When the two see Iyami eating the garbage in their house, they also tell each other to "not be like that". Karamatsu also attempts to sabotage Osomatsu in "Chibita's Revenge" while everyone else has picked him to be the next to go. Nonetheless, the two are shown to consider each other to be the true "two eldest" brothers in "The Choromatsu Incident", and behave as such (when compared to their minimal dynamic in season 1). This may be reference to how Karamatsu was originally mentioned to be the second-in-command role in the series profiles before such a position was seemingly nixed from them. Karamatsu notably refers to Osomatsu as either "Aniki" (a slangy term for older brother or boss), or usually as "Osomatsu" with no honorifics (whereas the others would call him "Osomatsu nii-san"). There are only two instances where Karamatsu uses the "nii-san" addition for his leader, and they are essentially parallel states; the -kun era glimpsed in the sealed episode "Osomatsu-kun Returns", and in the dream world visited by Sanematsu in the season 2 "Sanematsu-san" skit. As with the other characters, their dynamic may be subject to change if they play different characters in skits, whether named as they usually are or with deliberately different names and settings (Osoko and Karako, etc.) Ichimatsu As children (-kun) This is another duo that are rarely seen together when it comes to moments with Osomatsu and another brother. Such confirmed instances can be very sporadic, but Ichimatsu is shown to be irritated and reprimanding Osomatsu for sneaking off to give a sweet potato to Totoko in the first manga run. They are also the first two boys that spread the "Can-Can" hopping curse in the third run. As adults (-san): While the adult version of Osomatsu in this series can be said to be a man that hasn't quite matured at all and kept his self-centered ways, this version of Ichimatsu has nearly non-existent self-esteem and is much less social in general. Osomatsu seems to show some concern of Ichimatsu's nature, though still thinks of him as a darling younger brother that he expects to play with him in "The Melancholy of Osomatsu",only to be shocked when he sees Ichimatsu fuse with a cat and proceed to ignore him. Osomatsu later is shown to tease Ichimatsu in "ESP Kitty", but nonetheless try to go help look for the cat after he runs away. After becoming furious at Osomatsu for having stolen their money in "We Caught a Cold", Ichimatsu (on Todomatsu's orders) is made to deep kiss Osomatsu to spread the cold germs back to him. He does it once more in a reprise of the gag when startled by Jyushimatsu's multiplication abilities. The B skit of "Todomatsu's Line" also has some minimal interaction, where after Osomatsu and the others write off Todomatsu as unfeeling and terrible for not telling them of his activities, Osomatsu praises Ichimatsu for being open about wanting to know about movies playing and tells him that there's hope he might make it in society. A very significant interaction occurs when Ichimatsu wears Karamatsu's clothing and attempts to pass himself off as that brother, being unable to admit to actually liking his clothing and wanting to try it. While Ichimatsu would believe he fooled Osomatsu, down to the point of doing ridiculous things out of shock or to sully Karamatsu's name, there are moments where it's heavily inferred Osomatsu knew who he was and was deliberately doing disagreeable things to fluster him or try to get him to confess (such as pointedly talking about wanting to wear the clothing, eating Ichimatsu's favorite snack, and so on). To attempt to save face further to that eldest and throw Karamatsu under the bus some more, Ichimatsu makes it seem like Osomatsu walked in on him being violated by Karamatsu when the two go to change their clothes back. When the brothers first all attempted to leave home in "Letter", Ichimatsu was the only one left with the unresponsive Osomatsu until he opted to leave as well, stating "This is how things should be". However, of course, this did not last. In season 2's "Super Detergent", Osomatsu is keen to notice Ichimatsu's literally-fragile heart, to the point where it cracks after he points it out. In turn, in "Campaign Starting Now!", Ichimatsu hones in on Osomatsu's particular selfishness towards the others and targets him over it. Starting in "Kerosene", it is shown that Osomatsu will occasionally refer to Ichimatsu by the cutesy nickname "Ichimacchan". Though Ichimatsu uses derogatory names for Karamatsu ("Kusomatsu") and Choromatsu ("Shikomatsu"), he is content with calling Osomatsu by "Osomatsu nii-san" or simply "Nii-san". As with any other characters, their dynamics may alter depending on the skit, especially if the two are playing roles different than their usual settings. In the film, the two were shown to have shared the same classes in their final year of high school, after having made up a trio with Karamatsu in their second year. Jyushimatsu As children (-kun) Jyushimatsu tends to give off a more innocent impression when next to the older brother, but can still be assertive and defiant such as when he refuses to go along with Osomatsu to "see something interesting" in the body-swap story. In the 1988 adaptation, he is shown to be particularly careless when flinging a salt shaker, which causes it to smack Osomatsu in the eye As adults (-san): Though all the sextuplets are referred to as some brand of "idiot" (baka) in the magazine profiles leading up to the series, the official site profiles put special emphasis on using the word in both Osomatsu and Jyushimatsu's profiles, stating Jyushimatsu to be "abnormally bright" but also an idiot of just as abnormal levels. The two first interact in the sealed "Osomatsu-kun Returns" as their F6 selves in a high school parody, even acting suggestive and playing up BL elements for the girls (reminiscent of the Hitachiin twins in Ouran High School Host Club). In the space segment in "Tidbits Collection", they are shown to stupidly believe that they should hold their breath to prevent themselves from running out of oxygen as Choromatsu had, only to die as well. Meanwhile, in "Please Let Me Sleep", Osomatsu seems all too happy to referee Ichimatsu and Jyushimatsu's noisy wrestling match. Osomatsu attempts to get Jyushimatsu to assume his "Manji Hold" (or "Octopus Hold" in Crunchyroll subs, due to the swastika connotation of the original) against Choromatsu in "This is Totoko", only to wind up the recipient of it instead. Most significantly, when Osomatsu discovers that Jyushimatsu is friendly with a young woman in "Jyushimatsu Falls in Love", he is content with spying from afar but then seems to become concerned when it's implied that he sees the girl on the AV cover. Rather than confess the truth to Jyushimatsu, he stays vague and feigns jealousy. At seeing Jyushimatsu rejected and later learning that the girl had tried to kill herself and was saved by him on their first meeting, and that the girl has planned to return home, he's supportive of Jyushimatsu and encourages him to go see her off at the train station. Though Jyushimatsu is treated as too innocent and stupid by most of the others, Osomatsu starts to wonder just when Jyushimatsu became so different from them and is startled to see a photo suggesting that was already the case when they were babies (Jyushimatsu being awake and smiling while the rest slept), ordering the photo album banned and "sealed", never to be opened again. He also becomes mortified when realizing Jyushimatsu was awake all along in "Kerosene", and quite dangerous in his anger at the cold. In "Letter", Osomatsu is shown to become aggravated at Jyushimatsu's wild running and the fact he made him drop his sushi, which results in him kicking and injuring the other and the mood quickly becoming dysfunctional. Notably in the "Jyushimatsu Festival" skits, though he and Jyushimatsu play their usual selves in one skit, they are also shown to play the parts of two elderly mad scientists. Season 3's "Wannabe Detectives" prominently features Osomatsu and Jyushimatsu as "Osoyama" and "Jyushita," two members of a police force in a setting similar to a "buddy-cop" show. They do not take their jobs seriously at all; they engage in banter with each other, play pretend, and run around as if in a chase scene instead of doing actual police work.They encourage each other's personas as mischievous playboys that say one-liners much to the chagrin of the other members of team, who purposefully ignore and exclude them from serious matters. They are also seemingly incompetent at their job, with them injuring themselves in stupid ways and dramatically feigning death when doing so, as well as Jyushita toppling over the car he is driving by swerving too quickly at one point. Todomatsu As children (-kun) These two are also not a very common duo that appear through the series, although Todomatsu can be seen as a lesser henchman to his leader. Even so, he takes part in pushing Osomatsu around in the "Osomatsu Inc." chapter when he is made the lowest-rank employee of their home business. The 1988 adaptation furthers this idea in sometimes showing the two together in place of Osomatsu and Choromatsu, or having the three boys grouped off as a trio. As adults (-san): Although Todomatsu is colder and acts distant from the rest, and there's a mutual dysfunction in that dynamic, he will tend to buddy up with Osomatsu in certain situations. Whether this is due to the two having similarity deep down or simply being the youngest trying to defer to the eldest is up for debate, though likely both. When getting along, the two will even often show synchronized behaviors as the younger Osomatsu and Choromatsu would in -kun, showing the disparity in how these versions of Osomatsu and Choromatsu can be now (although it should not be assumed that the older Osomatsu and Choromatsu never get along, or don't still have similarities beneath it all). The coldness from Todomatsu towards Osomatsu is reflected in "The Melancholy of Osomatsu" when he asks "Who are you?" and denies knowing him when Osomatsu encounters him on a casual outing with two nameless girls. However, the two get along great when their mother runs an interview campaign to see which sons she'll pick to go with her after the divorce (which winds up not happening anyway), and they team up in insulting Choromatsu in "ESP Kitty". Their love and greed of money is also highlighted when the two opt to mooch money off of Hatabou, against Choromatsu's objections. Osomatsu attempts to also reason with Todomatsu and see his point of view when the others become angered at him for not wanting them to visit his job, but becomes insulted as well when Todomatsu compares the group of them to being as embarrassing as stained underwear being shown in public. Thus, when they overhear he planned to go to a mixer, Osomatsu leads the rest in finding ways to fluster and humiliate the youngest before taking the ultimate revenge to make him unpopular with girls.
