Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox person Шаблон:Nihongo is a Japanese comedian and filmmaker. He is one half of the comedy duo Downtown, alongside Masatoshi Hamada, and is one of the most popular comedians in Japan.[1] He was born in Amagasaki, Hyōgo Prefecture.[1]

Matsumoto has directed several movies beginning in 2007 with Big Man Japan, in several of which he also starred as the main character. He currently hosts Documental on Amazon Prime.[2]

Early life

Matsumoto was born in Amagasaki, Hyōgo, to a poor family.[1] He has one older sister and one older brother, Шаблон:Nihongo, an established folk guitarist who released an autobiographical book titled Шаблон:Nihongo.[3] He has expressed his feelings about growing up in a poor household in a poem titled Шаблон:Nihongo which Hamada turned into a song in 2004.[4] In his poem, he wrote how laughter was the only way to get through those times.[5] He credits his poverty for giving him a good imagination and sense of play, as it forced him to invent his own games to entertain himself.Шаблон:Cn

His favorite manga as a child was Tensai Bakabon by Fujio Akatsuka. He aspired to become a manga artist.

He attended Ushio Elementary School, where he met Masatoshi Hamada.[1] He graduated from Amagasaki Technical High School in 1982.

Career

Although he secured a job at a printing office, to pursue his dream of becoming a comedian, he was invited by Hamada in 1982 to enter Yoshimoto Kōgyō. Together, they became Downtown, and made their major debut in 1983. The Downtown comedy duo loosely follow the manzai style of Japanese comedy, where Matsumoto plays the a half-wit, and his partner plays the straight man.[1]

Personal life

Bachelorhood

Matsumoto remained single with no history of marriage for years after his comedy partner, Hamada, was married with children. He stated that he was not into romance, finding acts such as sharing a bed or bathing with someone else bothersome and unnecessary.[6]

It was revealed in July 2008 that Matsumoto was dating then 25-year-old tarento Ihara Rin.[7] In the evening of May 17, 2009, it was announced that Matsumoto's official bachelorhood had ended with a secret marriage ceremony between himself and the aforementioned Ihara.[8] Ihara, a former weather announcer for the Japanese news program "ズームイン!! Super" (Zoom In!! Super) is nineteen years Matsumoto's junior, and apparently became pregnant by Matsumoto, prompting the marriage.[8] The announcement of the marriage came via fax by Matsumoto's managing organization to several media outlets, including a personal message by Matsumoto himself: "My partner will quit her job and is currently pregnant. As this is a delicate time, I would like this to be dealt with as gently as possible. It would be best to hold a press conference, however I'm too embarrassed to, so I won't."[8]

On October 6, 2009, Matsumoto and Ihara Rin became parents to a daughter. At the time, Matsumoto was in South Korea for the screening of the film "Symbol."[9]

Interests

Matsumoto's hobbies include driving, billiards, and video games.Шаблон:Citation needed

As an admirer of Vincent van Gogh, he has gone to Amsterdam to visit The Van Gogh Museum. These trips were filmed for Шаблон:Nihongo, a special NHK BS documentary series.[10] Another figure he respects is the late comedian, Kanbi Fujiyama.[11]

He enjoys tokusatsu shows and owns DVD box sets of series such as Kamen Rider and Giant Robo. He has parodied tokusatsu a number of times on his previous show, Downtown no Gottsu Ee Kanji (with characters such as the Go-Renjai, Miracle Ace and Aho Aho Man), and in his directorial film debut, Dainipponjin.

Health

He has demonstrated good physical fitness on Gaki no Tsukai. He defeated his comedy partner Hamada in a high jump competition by clearing 1.40m on the first try.[12] In 1999, he outran Hamada, Hōsei Yamasaki and both members of Cocorico in a 100-meter race (he ran the entire length while the other four ran a quarter of the length each in the form of a relay race).[13] Three years later, he performed notably better than them in a long jump competition.[14]

Although he claims to have no interest in sports,[15] he has occasionally dabbled in boxing as he is friends with former world boxing champion Joichiro Tatsuyoshi.

Once a heavy cigarette smoker, he quit in 2003.

On June 28, 2010, Yoshimoto Kogyo announced that Matsumoto would not be performing on any shows for two months due to an injury on his left hip, which required surgery.[16] For two episodes, the remaining Gaki no Tsukai cast members discussed his condition,[17][18] with Matsumoto returning to hosting on August 31, 2010.[19] In subsequent segments of the show requiring rigorous physical activities, such as the annual New Year's Eve 24-Hour Batsu Games of recent years, he is exempted and instead given idle or captive roles, due to his previous injury.

During the 2011 Gaki no Tsukai batsu game involving the group becoming airline assistants, Matsumoto revealed he had suffered a stress fracture preparing for said batsu game, and despite doctor's orders, he still participated in the batsu game.

Legal issues

In December 2023, two women made allegations in an article published in the weekly magazine Shukan Bunshun that Matsumoto had sexually assaulted them in 2015 and in response his talent agency strongly denied, saying that there "no facts whatsoever" to the allegations.[20] Matsumoto himself responded saying "I'll fight because (the allegations) are totally groundless," however he subsequently paused his comedic and hosting performances.[21] In January 2024, Matusmoto sued Bungei Shunju which is the publisher of the magazine Shukan Bunshun alleging that it had engaged in defamation by publishing the story and was seeking damages of ¥550 million.[22]
