💀 Character Information
Name: Karamatsu Matsuno.
Canon: Osomatsu-san.
Canon Point: Post episode 25.
Age: "20 something."
Description: Ah, yes. A confident posture, sparkling teeth, thick lashes and that dashing bowl cut to match his brothers, Karamatsu radiates the aura of a person that he actually isn't, but wishes he could be. He tries very hard to make himself stand out, and, well, when you're so concerned about how people perceive you, you kind of have to try very hard to be different among your five other siblings, all with the same exact face. He's rather short for somebody his age (around 5'4") and tries very hard to be fit (he doesn't try at all) and really isn't. The most distinguishable features are his eyebrows on fleek and his painful sayings, sometimes spoken in English.

Really, he's nothing fantastic— but he would love for you to think so.

Physical changes: A pair of stubby, blue horns. Why? Because he'll absolutely hate it. Make him suffer. He's suffered so much in life, let's make him suffer in death because I'm mean. This will be a gradual change that will happen sometime after he stays in Hell long enough.
Powers: He can fall off the roof and survive. That's about it. There is nothing special about him. Nada. Nothing.

History:
(May contain spoilers.)

The series began as comic strips in the 1960's drawn and written by Fujio Akatsuka who always seemed to make up pretty weird characters with bizarre story lines. The series turned into a series about sextuplets who grew up together, causing trouble and being mischievous— usually working with each other to confuse adults. Even as children, they tried to work together to earn money or scam people.

As a child, Karamatsu seemed to have a tidy and particular personality, showing plenty of energy— he was always eager to fight, much like how he still is today— but his enthusiastic energy often caused him to get injured. It's probably bad luck, which has really followed him into adulthood to make him an unfortunate person through his entire life.
His name is a pun on "emptiness" in reference to his "empty head" and he has lived by his name even as a child by being a little airheaded and arrogant. As a child, he was often seen paired up with Todomatsu, the youngest, showing that they had a closer bond as children than when they become adults.

Nowadays, all six of them still live with their parents and are unemployed, and Karamatsu is no exception. Although he tries very hard to carry a presence and captivate others, at this point, his brothers tend to ignore him because they're usually embarrassed by him.

The series itself doesn't have much continuity / plot, as it is a comedy series that focuses more on their interactions with one another, and very little is said about their history. One thing is certain: despite all of their arguing and fighting, the sextuplets are all very close to one another and are shown throughout the series showing certain depths of codependency on one another. This is seen towards the end of the series when each sextuplet moves out to become independent, get jobs and live their lives on their own, but obviously miss each other. Karamatsu is the third one to leave and moves in with Chibita as an attempt to live on his own but makes the statement: "Us sextuplets— no, me— will be ruined" implying that he needs this change of lifestyle to feel better about himself. It was a self defense mechanism he used, seeing as he didn't want to be left behind in his life progress as his brothers excel.

In the end, however, they all end up moving back home and going to an invitational together, encouraging each other to proceed with their dreams. It seems they'll never really be apart from one another at this rate, seeing as their attempts to be independent have failed.

Hell Status: Limbo Case.
What Brings Them To Hell: Let's face it. Karamatsu is nice. He usually wants to protect and go above and beyond for a person, but the flaws he has are very strong and seen in his personality a lot more. He hits almost every single deadly sin big time: malicious envy, pride, lust, sloth, anger. What ultimately pushed him over the edge was suicide, feeling a sense of hopelessness. Though, maybe if he worked on his own problems, he would still be alive instead of having his own, self-absorbed problems get the best of him.

Karamatsu is so arrogant, he thinks he deserves Heaven, but what nobody is telling him is exactly what has happened to him on Earth: Nobody wants you because you're just too damn painful to deal with, it's embarrassing. Heaven doesn't want him and is trying to push him onto Hell, Hell doesn't want him and they're trying to push him into Heaven. I imagine it went a little something like this:

"Remember that time that he said he wanted to better himself and strive for world peace?! That's a good-doer if I ever heard one! Take him into Heaven!"
"How can you forget those cut-off shorts that say JUICY on the ass and sequin blue shirt with his own face on it..!?"
"...You bring up a valid point. We'll have to really think about this one."

The Pitch:
I have for you one useless piece of shit that is covered in cheap glitter! Won't you take him? ... Anybody? Well, uh..
I mean, he doesn't actually do much besides look in the mirror all day long and fantasize about how he wishes everybody could absolutely love him— or pay attention to him, but you know. He makes a great door stopper if you're looking for one.

Or a punching bag— Karamatsu loves to fight and get into violent arguments— especially if he has to protect somebody he cares about— but ends up defeated and beat into a pulp a lot. Even his brothers seem to push him aside, harm him, trample over him and leave him in agony, Karamatsu still has enough gusto to keep on going. If you're looking for something to vent your frustration off of in a more violent way, you could probably use him. It's kind of sad. He's always the one to die in the quick 15 minute skits, but that's kind of the reoccurring joke in the series.

One thing about him that is really important is the fact Karamatsu doesn't know who he is anymore. Karamatsu doesn't like his true self and wishes to be somebody else. He's a delicate, fragile guy who wants the world to think he's tough and a cool guy because he believes that is what people find attractive and he strives very much to be appreciated. Much to his dismay, his attempt to have other perceive him as something handsome, strong, tough and enticing always backfires. He's the king of bad luck and misfortune, but even so, that doesn't seem to prevent him from radiating confidence— he brushes the dust off of his bright and tacky clothing to move on, in dire search to find somebody or something to appreciate him. He tries very hard, only to be casually pushed aside by those he cares about because he's a bit too ambitious to the point where he comes across as desperate and embarrassing. He lives in his own delusional mind and almost has two personalities going on within his mind all of the time, feeling something but showing the exact opposite to the outside world. Basically, he's lying to himself and everyone around him and really doesn't know when to stop.

Karamatsu is so co-dependent, he cares about his brothers a bit too much and doesn't seem to get the hint that none of them actually really care about his existence, even when he tries to go above and beyond for them. This is also true for anybody he tries to romance, showering them with poetic words in passionate drama to where he ultimately gets shut down.

It's pretty annoying he just doesn't quit.

...Er, okay, well. Like I said, he does make a great door stopper!

Setting Fit:
One of Karamatsu's big things is to be completely available and free. When asked what his plans are for the rest of his life, he usually pulls off his sunglasses and says in a confident and happy tone: I HAVE NO PLANS!

The same is going to happen in Hell.

I imagine after time, though, Karamatsu is going to volunteer community service and try to win his way into Heaven. Like everything he does when he actually does something, he's going to try very hard. If he finds out any of his brothers are also in Hell, it might put a kink in his plans. I imagine if this doesn't go so well, he'll try desperately to befriend people— make friends! Lose his virginity! He didn't have many friends living, so he's gonna see if it's better in Hell to be social and make friends.
If that backfires, as it should, you' know.. he'll just wallow up in self pity and write a bunch of depressing monologues and poetry on how lonely he is.

I know, aren't they great ideas? I knew you'd love them.
