Jyushimatsu Matsuno

Jyushimatsu Matsuno (松野十四松 Matsuno Jūshimatsu) is a major character in the 1960s comedy manga series Osomatsu-kun, as well as it's 2010s comedy anime sequel-spinoff Osomatsu-san. Alongside his five brothers, he is one of the focal characters of the series.

His name derives from 十姉妹 (jyushimatsu), the Japanese name for the Bengalese finch. However, besides being spelled with the kanji for "pine" (松), the characters for "fourteen" (十四) are also substituted.

 Appearance Edit
In Osomatsu-kun, Jyushimatsu appears identically to all of his brothers, sporting the same yellow-buttoned, blue outfit and dull blue-gray pants with brown shoes. His irises are black and he has a recognizable bowl cut with two cowlicks, traits they also all share.

Later in life, in Osomatsu-san, Jyushimatsu becomes more distinct as an adult: though the brothers all sport identical outfits that match their original series designs rather accurately (the pants are more gray, and a dress shirt underneath is more distinct and dons a tie), each brother more typically wears a color-specific hoodie throughout much of the series. In Jyushimatsu's case, his distinctive color is yellow.

Jyushimatsu is often depicted as starry-eyed and with a wide-open, grinning mouth, his head metaphorically in the clouds. He wears the sleeves of his yellow hoodie in such a way that they cover his hands.

Personality Edit
In Osomatsu-kun, Jyushimatsu has a rather stock personality, interchangable with that of his brothers at any given time. While occasionally given traits, they aren't overly consistent to him in particular, and often in appearances individual brothers aren't even named, making it hard to single him out from his siblings.

Later in life, he comes to find his own personality: In Osomatsu-san, Jyushimatsu, like his brothers, is not the most upstanding nor moral person. He often causes petty problems and has few real aspirations, being a shut-in NEET.
