Born in Tokyo, Japan, Matsumoto is the youngest child of his parents. He has an older sister whose support of KinKi Kids influenced his decision to join Johnny’s Entertainment in 1996. Thinking it might bode good luck, he sent his application to the agency on his elementary school graduation day and received a phone call weeks later from the president himself, Johnny Kitagawa, inviting him to attend a rehearsal instead of being auditioned. Matsumoto began his career in the entertainment industry as a back-up dancer for other groups like many other juniors in the agency before he was drafted into a five-member group named Arashi in 1999 at the age of 16. He graduated from Horikoshi High School, a renowned high school known for its many performing arts alumnae, at the age of 18 with other contemporaries 深田恭子 (Fukada Kyoko) and 加藤あい (Kato Ai) whom he counts as high school seniors.
Matsumoto made his television debut as an actor in 1997 in the mystery-thriller series, Bokura no Yuki ~Miman Toshi~, opposite both members of KinKi Kids and bandmate Aiba Masaki. Matsumoto is also an award-winning actor and is primarily known for his roles in the Hana Yori Dango series, the first season of Gokusen, Bambino!, Kimi wa Petto, Smile and the third season of Kindaichi Shonen no Jikenbo.
