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 [[Taboo (1999 film)|‘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 is 183 cm (6'0) tall. ==Partial filmography== === Movies === *Tsurugidake: Ten no Ki (2009) *[http://www.densen-uta.jp/ Densen Uta] (2007) *[http://www.ahiru-kamo.jp/ Ahiru Kamo] (2007) *[http://www.koisurumadori.com/ Koisuru Madori] (2007) *[http://www.yakiniku-movie.com/ Purukogi] (2007) *[http://www.sekaihatokidoki.com/ Sekai ha Tokidoki Utsukushii] (2007) *[http://www.chosyufive-movie.com/ Chosyu Five] (2006) *[[Nightmare Detective|Akumu Tantei]] (2006) *[[Big Bang Love, Juvenile A|46 Okunen no Koi]] (2006) *[http://www.rampojigoku.com/ Ranpo Jigoku] (2005) *[http://www.gimmy-heaven.com/ Gimmy Heaven] (2005) *[http://www.nana-movie.com/ NANA] (2005) *Yasha no Ike (2004) *Koi no Mon (2004) *[[IZO]] (2004) *[[Cutie Honey]] (2004) *Showa Kayo Daizenshu (2003) *Hachigatsu no kariyushi (2003) *9 Souls (2003) *17 Sai (2003) *Collage of Our Life (2003) *[[Blue Spring (film)|Aoi Haru]] (2002) *Hashire!
