IC Information

Name: Jyushimatsu Matsuno
Age: early twenties. the actual age is never specified. (my castmate and I decided on 23)
Canon: Osomatsu-san
Canon Point: post ep 25 (end of season one)
Physical Description: full-body image. the way to tell Jyushimatsu apart from his brothers is that he is usually wearing a yellow hoodie, along with a great big smile. he's about average height for a Japanese man, and fairly athletic. all the brothers have the same colored hair (dark brown, almost black), and same eyes (grey?). Also, he has one single strand of hair that sticks up from the rest.
Canon Abilities: Given the nature of the show, a lot of Jyushimatsu's abilities are strange and could probably be taken with a grain of salt. He's been known to grow to an enormous size, as well as fall from a great distance and pop right back up without injuries. Skills that are a little more believable are his athleticism (he is probably the most fit out of all his brothers), and his cheerful disposition, where he is able to stay happy and positive even in grim situations (though that could also be cluelessness).

Possessions: his clothes (a yellow hoodie with extra long sleeves and a matsu tree symbol on the front, blue shorts, white socks, and yellow house slippers), and a metal baseball bat

Personality: How does one even begin to describe Jyushimatsu? He is a riddle wrapped up in an enigma. By which I mean he is probably crazy. As the second-youngest of six brothers, he sure stands out, with his bug-eyed stare and perpetual open-mouthed grin. He is almost always happy, exceedingly so, and he's been described as having his head up in the clouds. He is easily distracted, as evidenced by when he stopped to talk to a homeless man when he was supposed to be walking home.

When it comes to the rest of his brothers, Jyushimatsu may be the most innocent of the bunch. I am not saying he's an angel, since he does collect ero magazines, and even strangled Ichimatsu because he was cold (Jyushimatsu hates the cold). He is easily the most immature, which makes him more childlike. He is the least likely sibling to judge his other brothers, and he has fairly good relationships with all of them. There is a segment where Karamatsu attempts to bribe Jyushimatsu with candy, and he accepts, presumably because OH MY GOSH IT'S CANDY I WILL DO WHATEVER YOU SAY FOR CANDY.

Adding to the childish qualities, Jyushimatsu is loud and hyper. It seems like all of his everyday activities are carried out in this fashion; he sleeps loudly, he eats loudly, he bathes loudly. In fact, one surefire way to tell that something is different or wrong with him is if he isn't acting noisy and obnoxious (despite being loud himself, he seems to strongly dislike loud noises, like when a lot of people are talking at once). Sometimes, if he gets worked up—usually about baseball—he needs Ichimatsu to calm him down, the way a dog-owner would calm down their pet. You think I'm joking.

All that being said, he does have moments of clarity. For one thing, Jyushimatsu can understand his darker brother, Ichimatsu, who is lonely and depressed. He is sincere in his efforts to make those around him happier, and will do silly things to get people to laugh. He is definitely no hidden genius, with deep meaningful layers. No, Jyushimatsu is fairly simple and sweet. He's also an idiot, just like the rest of the Matsuno brothers.

History: The whole premise of Osomatsu-san is that it is based off a fairly popular manga/anime that came out in the 1960s. Osomatsu-kun was a story about sextuplets that misbehaved and caused all sorts of trouble, usually at Iyami's and Chibita's expense. In that series, they all looked the same and it was nearly impossible to tell them apart. By the time Osomatsu-san starts, the six brothers have grown to adults in their twenties, with individual personalities and their own variations on their clothes and hair.

As a child, Jyushimatsu was loud, and he liked to sing. He was also kind to a fault, easily manipulated. As an adult, he is still the loudest brother, and he's still kind, and still closest to Ichimatsu. Like his brothers, he lives at home and does not have a job or a girlfriend. He has probably aged the least, when it comes to maturity, and he has been known to gamble and drink irresponsibly, like the rest of them.

Unlike the rest of them (except for maybe Todomatsu), Jyushimatsu has been the closest to getting an actual girlfriend, in an episode that showed he could be serious, at least for a little while. He held a manual labor job briefly in episode 24, but that storyline was dropped in episode 25 for... something else... At the end of the season, even though the main cast dies (this happens several times throughout the series), presumably nothing has changed. Jyushimatsu remains loud and obnoxious, still living at home with his loser brothers.
