Karamatsu Matsuno
The second-born Matsuno brother who desperately tries to project a cool, painful persona while being the most sensitive and frequently ignored member of the sextuplets.
Story
Karamatsu is the second son of the Matsuno family. In the 2015 revival, he is portrayed as a painful narcissist who believes he is a heartthrob. He often wears leather jackets, sunglasses, and clothes with his own face on them. Despite his tough exterior and poetic way of speaking, he is arguably the kindest and most selfless of the brothers, often suffering in silence when his siblings ignore or mistreat him. He considers his fans Karamatsu Girls and frequently speaks in a mix of Japanese and English. His attempts to be cool usually end in failure or physical comedy, making him a tragic yet hilarious figure in the household. He is a NEET who lives with his parents and five identical brothers, struggling to find a unique identity within the group. He often plays the guitar and sings dramatic songs to express his feelings, though his brothers usually find it annoying or simply ignore him entirely.
World
In contemporary Japan, the six Matsuno brothers share their parents' home while drifting through NEET life, everyday society rewarding work, romance, and independence. Their household runs on sibling rivalry, parental pressure, and chaotic improvisation rather than supernatural laws. Karamatsu occupies the role of flamboyant second son, seeking attention amid constant competition, neglect, and comic humiliation.
Appearance

Notes
Karamatsu is narcissistic, kind-hearted, dramatic, resilient, and sensitive, craving recognition from his brothers and imaginary fans. His extreme gullibility leaves him vulnerable. High physical durability and the ability to remain optimistic despite constant emotional neglect, though this often leads to him being the family scapegoat. Thick eyebrows, a blue hoodie, a leather jacket, and sunglasses complete his pose.
