{{nihongo|'''Ryuhei Matsuda'''|松田 龍平|''Matsuda Ryūhei''}}, born [[May 9]], [[1983]] in [[Tokyo]], [[Japan]] is a [[Japan]]ese actor best known for his lead role as a [[samurai]] in ''[[Taboo (1999 film)|Taboo]]''.
== Biography ==
Matsuda is the son of [[Yusaku Matsuda]] (Tanteoi Monogatari), an actor who died at a young age, and Miyuki Matsuda ([[Audition (film)|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 [[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.
