Biography

Matsuda is the son of Yusaku Matsuda (Tantei Monogatari), an actor who died at a young age, and Matsuda Miyuki (Audition). He followed in his parents' footsteps by becoming an actor himself.

Matsuda lost his father when he was six. When he was fifteen, he was approached by Nagisa Ōshima to act in a controversial samurai movie titled Gohatto. At first, he turned down the role when he learned it was a gay samurai. He later changed his mind, and trained in kendo for two months in preparation.

After his success in Gohatto, Matsuda switched gears to play a student in Blue Spring. He has starred in many movies since, working with famous directors like Takashi Miike in Big Bang Love, Juvenile A, and Shinya Tsukamoto in Akumu Tantei (Nightmare Detective). He has also acted alongside several J-pop stars, including Mika Nakashima and Yuna Ito (Nana) and hitomi (Nightmare Detective).

Matsuda's younger brother, Shota Matsuda, is also an actor.

Matsuda married half-Russian model, Lina Ohta, on January 11, 2009. On July 4, Ohta gave birth to a baby girl.
