Description
Choromatsu Matsuno is one of the sextuplets at the heart of the anime film Osomatsu-san: Tamashii no Takoyaki Party to Densetsu no Otomari-kai. Among his five identical brothers, he is visually distinguished by his green sweatshirt, which complements the red worn by his eldest brother, Osomatsu. He also typically wears a collared shirt underneath his sweatshirt and has his pant legs slightly rolled up, completing a look that suggests a slightly more put-together appearance than his siblings. As the third eldest, he often finds himself trying, with varying degrees of success, to be the voice of reason in a family defined by chaos and idleness.
Personality-wise, Choromatsu is characterized by a tension between his desire to be responsible and his inherent flaws. He frequently assumes the role of the straight man or tsukkomi, reacting with exasperation and logic to the outlandish behavior of his brothers, particularly the impulsive eldest, Osomatsu. This dynamic often manifests as anger or frustration when he perceives their ideas as foolish. For instance, when his brothers Karamatsu and Jyushimatsu excitedly agree to host a takoyaki party as a way to pass the time, it is Choromatsu who becomes angry with them for reaching such a dull and simple conclusion. This reaction highlights his tendency to overthink situations and his desire for more meaningful or stimulating activities, even if he himself does not know what that would entail. He is also highly self-conscious, a trait that can become physically manifest in surreal ways, such as his anxieties condensing into a planet-like mass that grows brighter and more unstable as his self-awareness rises.
In the story of the film, Choromatsu serves as a key member of the group, participating in the collective energy that drives the plot forward. The narrative begins on a mundane day where he and his brothers are bored with nothing to do. After the decision is made to host the takoyaki party, he becomes part of the frantic preparation. When the object of the sextuplets' affection, Totoko, unexpectedly decides to join, the brothers rush to gather the missing members of the family, with Choromatsu involved in the ensuing chaos. His role is largely reactive, grounded in the reality of the situation, which makes him a crucial anchor for the comedy. As the party spirals into an endless sleepover that stretches from a single night into multiple days, Choromatsu’s practical concerns about the situation would logically clash with the absurd, energy-draining persistence of the guests.
Choromatsu’s relationships with the other characters are defined by familiar dynamics, particularly with his brothers. His interactions with Osomatsu are a classic comedy duo, with Osomatsu as the impulsive fool and Choromatsu as the fretful straight man trying to correct him. This role also colors his relationship with the world at large; he is often the one pointing out the obvious, criticizing nonsensical plans, or worrying about the consequences of their actions. While this can make him appear negative or nagging, it stems from a genuine, if often misguided, desire for a better, more functional life for himself and his siblings.
The specific developments or notable abilities for Choromatsu in this particular film are less about acquiring new powers and more about reinforcing his established character traits. His primary ability is his sharp tongue and his capacity for logical, critical thinking, which he wields as a weapon against the relentless stupidity of everyday life. While he has no special powers in the traditional sense, his heightened self-consciousness and anxiety are so potent that they have been known to manifest as a literal, separate celestial entity that threatens the city, a testament to his overdeveloped sense of self-awareness. His journey in the film, like many episodes, is likely less about personal transformation and more about enduring the bizarre and exhausting situations his brothers and friends create, serving as the frustrated but ultimately loyal heart of the Matsuno household.
