Osomatsu Matsuno | Osomatsu-san | Reserved
⬢ Name: Junebug

⬢ Characters Currently In Game: n/a
⬢ Name: Osomatsu Matsuno
⬢ Canon: Osomatsu-san
⬢ Canon Point: post Eiga no Osomatsu-san (Osomatsu-san the Movie)
⬢ History: Osomatsu-kun || Osomatsu-san || Osomatsu-san episode guide || Movie || Osomatsu Matsuno
⬢ Personality: Osomatsu is a loser, plain and simple. Even his name means "lousy." On official merchandise/videos, he's labelled as an idiot. He acts as though he does not pay attention to his surroundings, so he gives off a very carefree attitude. Most of the time, he's as clueless as they come, whether he completely misses a point, or whether he spouts off an insult without meaning to (see: innocently insensitive), and he's pretty much okay with living like that.
Above everything else, Osomatsu wants to enjoy life and have a good time. He loves to joke around, even in serious situations. He's the type of person who wears a big dumb smile and may laugh during a disaster. This doesn't necessarily mean he is mean-spirited. It just means he can find something humorous about any circumstance. He doesn't think before he acts or says something. He just does it, especially if it means that he can have fun in the end.
Osomatsu likes to take things as they come. He doesn't plan ahead, and he rolls with the punches. It's easy to get him to do something, or to go along with an idea (unless he thinks his own idea is better). In the first season, each of the brothers' self-consciousnesses are shown as a sphere. Osomatsu's jiishiki (self-consciousness) is small enough for him to carry around and it is dented. This means he is not out to impress strangers, and he doesn't care about how other people ultimately view him. He has a lot of growing up to do, but he makes the best out of bad situations by being himself. He never tries to be anyone else.
One of the main points in the series is that the Matsuno siblings are adults who have never worked. They live at home and receive an allowance from their parents. Their mother also cooks every meal for them and does their laundry. In a couple episodes, the third-oldest sibling, and the closest to Osomatsu, Choromatsu, brings up getting a job. And Osomatsu tells him that things are fine the way they are. He really likes his life, and loves his brothers. Obviously, he wants a girlfriend, but he would be content to just live off his parents with his brothers for the rest of his life.
Which brings me to the negative aspects of Osomatsu. There are a lot of them. He is an incredibly flawed character. While it can be said that he is usually a happy-go-lucky person, if he gets mad, or things do not go his way, he will become vicious. Osomatsu is a sore loser, so he jumps into verbal fights with insults that hit below the belt. When their parents decide to get a divorce, the Matsuno sons each vie to win over their mother so that she might take them with her when she goes (because the parents would split up the sons). Osomatsu throws himself on the floor and rolls around, yelling about how he wants to be spoiled by his mother still.
Aside from the possible gambling and alcohol addictions, he's not always a nice person. When he was a kid, he played pranks on everyone, and got his brothers to do the same thing (there was a sort of hive-mind thing going on here). This seems typical for a young boy, so perhaps he was forgiven. But, as Osomatsu grew older, he... didn't grow up. He still plays pranks on people, still becomes aggressive if he doesn't get his way, and still attempts to manipulate those around him into getting what he wants. He's a leader, but uses his leadership skills for all the wrong reasons. When his brothers became so sick that they couldn't move from bed, Osomatsu took money from their stashes and said he would use it to buy them food and medicine. He spent all their money on gambling. Stealing seems to be one of his biggest offences, if you also take the game Hesokuri Wars into account; in that game, Osomatsu rallies his brothers together and gets them to steal money from everyone else.
He is also useless around girls, just like most of his other brothers. Despite the easygoing personality, Osomatsu has absolutely no clue about how dating works. There have been several instances in the anime, and in other merchandise (mainly dramas) that clue us in to how he views women or sex in general... It's not good. He thinks going to a mixer means that it is okay to start making out right away, or that just picking up girls means that he can "push her right down onto the floor the first time you meet her." Even the sight of his brother in drag causes Osomatsu to lose his mind. Once when the popularity of his show was being discussed, Osomatsu suggested that there be an orgy, with his fans. I don't think this means he devalues women, because there are other episodes where he places them on a high pedestal. He's just a mess, and most of his experiences with women comes from manga or porn-watching.
Nevertheless, there are certain things that make Osomatsu reliable as a person, and as a big brother. He knows when to admit he's wrong and apologize, and he's very good at manipulating the situation to suit his needs. He has the makings of being a good leader, since he's been known to rally his brothers together. Osomatsu is not an evil person, he just has questionable morals.
Another good thing that Osomatsu's got going for him is that he truly loves his brothers, but that can also be seen as a negative. Because Osomatsu has grown up entirely too close to these other men, he's become too dependent on them. He doesn't want to be separated from them. He does not feel safe when his brothers are not around, and Osomatsu does not know how to be an individual. Certainly, there are times when they annoy him, and he even goes on in an episode about how his brothers are his "five enemies." But, Osomatsu cares about them deeply. He, in fact, may be a bit obsessed with them. Yes, he uses them to meet his own gains every so often, but he wants them all to have fun together in the end. He values their opinions of him, wants them all to like him, wants to be ranked their favorite brother (because Osomatsu knows that each of them has a favorite. they never say anything like this, but you just know, okay?). He knows he's growing up, and he doesn't want to. He's scared of separating from his family, scared of getting a job, scared of making a life on his own. Actually, he probably cannot imagine a life without his brothers.
Osomatsu shows the world that he's as cool as a cucumber on the outside, when, really, he is panicking on the inside. In episode 24 in the first season, Choromatsu finally gets a job, and Osomatsu feels the rug being yanked out from under him. One by one, his brothers leave the house, until Osomatsu is left alone. He becomes quiet and withdrawn, a shadow of what he once was. He doesn't even bid his brothers goodbye (again, he's throwing a tantrum because he isn't getting his way). This is a man who is stubbornly refusing to grow up, who once had all the confidence in the world when he was younger. This guy runs around like he is cock of the walk, while being a mass of nerves and self-doubt just below the surface. Without his brothers, Osomatsu feels like he is nothing.
This feeling is echoed in episode 24 in the second season. After their father winds up hospitalized, Osomatsu is the one who says that the brothers should start trying to become independent, so that his parents stop stressing out. The Matsuno brothers all get jobs, and start separating from each other. Even though Osomatsu is satisfied with getting a paycheck, he still feels empty, like he's lost something. Deep down, he wants to be selfish, and to keep the family together.
While Osomatsu's motivations are difficult to figure out, we get glimpses of why he acts the way he does. No bones about it, Osomatsu is spoiled. He wants to be taken care of by his parents, and his brothers. Osomatsu is very dependent on his family. Why, then, does he treat them poorly when he needs them? He loves to tease and to have fun, sure, but he also wants his brothers to think he is stronger than he actually is. His desire is to keep his family together, selfishly, because he knows that if they split-up, he could very well not endure what lies ahead. He'd be lonely, he'd fall into depression, he'd become a bigger failure than he already is. He's desperate for his own happiness. As mentioned before, Osomatsu doesn't really present himself as anyone other than himself to strangers (he owned up to being a NEET in the movie, while his brothers were lying and telling their fellow graduates that they worked at a hotel). At the same time, he puts on a mask at home so his brothers don't think anything is wrong with him. This ties back to the idea where he shows people that he is confident on the outside, when he is really scared and frustrated about growing up inwardly. So many things are acts, or jokes, with him, all to divert attention from the real issues; that he is far too dependent and doesn't know how to be an adult. Survival and happiness are Osomatsu's goals.
⬢ Powers: Osomatsu is your average Joe Human. He has no super powers, but he does seem to have a few things he is good at. One of those things is leadership. For some reason, this loser is able to get his brothers to do things, whether it's through a half-assed speech, or blackmail, which he is not above doing. He's also extremely lazy, so if he can talk someone else into doing the footwork for him, more power to him. There have been a few instances in canon where Osomatsu's words have influenced his brothers. He tends to call the shots, especially when the others are unsure with how to move forward. In the end of the first season, it was Osomatsu who collected his brothers and brought them back home when they were all separated. This happened near the end of the second season, as well, when Osomatsu told his brothers it was time that they all started working. They all knew that they should do take action in regards to growing up, but it was Osomatsu who finally said it out loud. They all agreed that since their older brother had acknowledged the situation, they had to, as well.
He also really gets his family. He knows what to say when his brothers are upset. In the tenth episode, there is a scene where Osomatsu and Karamatsu are fishing, but Karamatsu is worried about being "painful" (in the series, the word "painful" is used to describe Karamatsu, who is painfully embarrassing). Osomatsu tells Karamatsu that he just needs to be himself, and everyone else needs to get used to his painfulness. He is a pretty good older brother, when he wants to be. He is supportive of Jyushimatsu when he gets a girlfriend, even going as far as not telling Jyushimatsu when he discovered the girl was in an AV.
When women or money are added into the equation, Osomatsu's motivation is increased. He is a man that will do anything for a buck, or for a hug, as was seen in the Rental Girlfriends episode. One skit even has him actually getting a job so that he may be more appealing to his childhood friend, Totoko.
Because he is a gag character, he is constantly abused. Osomatsu has been beaten up, had things thrown at him, and just has taken on a lot of damage. He also gets into fights with his brothers and usually comes out on the losing end, because he is so weak. He is still alive and kicking, despite this. (please don't make me talk about the horse incident) This makes him durable.
(One more thing I should probably mention is fourth-walling, which will absolutely be toned down for the game, if need be. He seems to be aware that he is an anime character, and will now and again make comments about his show. Again, I don't plan on this being a huge deal with him, because he can function without saying things like that, but I thought I should at least add it to his list of powers.)
