The 33-year-old started acting at young age and made his breakthrough when he was 15. He played a wide range of roles since, including some award-winning acts in recent years.

He remains pretty low profile though, and most of the films he starred in are not the type that appeal to global audiences. That probably explains why he’s not that famous outside of Japan.

His wife is actress-model Rina Ohta. The couple has a daughter born 2009.

Ryuhei’s younger brother, Shota, is also an actor.

Mohican Comes Home (2016) movie trailer

October 15, 2015 by Yein Jee

Trailer for Japanese film Mohican Comes Home (モヒカン故郷に帰る, Mohican Kokyô ni Kaeru ). Directed and written by Shuichi Okita, it tells the story of rocker reconciling with his father who’s terminally ill.

The movie is made in conjunction with the 70th anniversary of Tokyo Theatres Company. It stars Ryuhei Matsuda, Akira Emoto, Atsuko Maeda, Masako Motai and Yudai Chiba. Premiering in March 2016.

Plot

Ekichi is a struggling punk rocker in Tokyo. He and his girlfriend returns home to a small town – for the first time in ages – to announce her pregnancy and their engagement.

Osamu, Keichi’s father, appears angry but is secretly happy that he’s going to be a grandpa.

The joy doesn’t last long though, as Osamu is soon diagnosed with last-stage cancer. Keichi decides to prolong his stay to look after his old man, and the two learn more about each other in process.

Seems like a typical family drama film; Japanese are very good in this genre though. From the tone in the teaser the movie is probably on the light-comedic side instead of a sad melodrama.

Atsuko Maeda, who plays the pregnant girlfriend, was formerly a central figure in popular girl group AKB48. Interested to see how she fares in her acting since graduating from the group in 2012.

My Little Sweat Pea (2013) Japanese movie teaser

December 16, 2013 by Yein Jee

Teaser for upcoming Japanese film Mugiko-san to (My Sweet Little Pea). Directed by Keisuke Yoshida and stars Maki Horikita, Ryuhei Matsuda and Kimiko Yo.

Plot

Mugiko (her name means little pea), who lives with her brother and works at a manga store, is dreaming to become a voice actress. One day, her mother whom she barely knew turns up and moves in with the siblings, causing discomfort.

Apparently the mum is really ill (not knowingly to her daughter) and wants to spend her last days with the family. Mugiko has to deliver her mother’s ashes back to her hometown after she passes away and discovers a lot more about her mother (and probably why she left when Mugiko was a kid) from her old friends.
