Matsumoto entered Johnny's Entertainment in 1996, at the age of thirteen. Although the proper procedure is for the applicant to go through a round of auditions before being admitted into the talent agency, Matsumoto bypassed it by receiving a direct phonecall from Johnny Kitagawa, telling him to report for work.
In September 1999, on board a cruise ship off the shores of Honolulu, Hawaii, he debuted at 16 years old as the youngest member of ARASHI. ARASHI, the slightly hip-hop-influenced group of Johnny's Entertainment, was instantly popular with the fans. However, it was not till 2002 that Matsumoto truly made his mark in the acting industry by portraying Sawada Shin in the manga-turned-dorama Gokusen, a role which won him the Best Supporting Actor at the 44th Television Drama Academy Awards.
In 2003, Matsumoto took on the role of Momo/Goda Takeshi in the drama Kimi wa Petto, portraying a homeless young man taken in by a successful journalist as her pet. A year later, in 2004, he wrote a song called 'La Familia' in honour of ARASHI's fifth anniversary, and performed it at the Iza Now! concert.
2005 saw Matsumoto taking on his most conspicuous and challenging role to date: Domyouji Tsukasa, the leader of F4, in the Japanese live action of the highly popular manga/anime Hana Yori Dango, which aired it's first season from 2005-10-21 to 2005-12-16. Hana Yori Dango was the highest rated drama of the winter of 2005, and a second season is currently in production
A lot of publicity was generated when he made an appearance at the 47th Golden Melody Awards in Taiwan in June 2006. Dressed in a grey suit, he was frequently referred to as 'Prince Charming' in the Taiwanese media reports. 200 fans were at the airport to receive him and he recited a few Mandarin phrases while presenting the Best Directoraward.
Aside from acting and singing, Matsumoto has taken on hosting duties by co-hosting Utawara HotHit10 with Aya Matsuura and Wada Akiko. The most well-known moments in that program were Matsumoto's arguments with Akanishi Jin of KAT-TUN.
As of June 2006, he became part of an unofficial group within Johnny's Entertainment called 'No Border', which includes members like Yamashita Tomohisa of NewS, and Takizawa Hideaki of Tackey & Tsubasa. The purpose of 'No Border' is for its members to interact freely and bypass the sempai-kouhai relationships formed by JE. At the moment, he is aged 23.
His acting is not restricted to only onscreen work. He ventured into theatre in 2004, in a stage play of the Japanese version of 'West Side Story' as the Latin America gang leader Bernardo, and exhibited some dazzling dance moves along with his stunning acting skills. His butai in 2006, 'White Valkryie' had its tickets selling on Yahoo! Auctions for staggering prices.
However, it was interestingly noted that although he portrays a cool image in his work, the real Jun is a dork. He loves Harry Potter, is a bookworm, wears spectacles, and has certain nerdy actions that expose his true personality. He is the illustration of a normal boy turned a star, a normal person with enormous talent and charisma.
Jun can now be considered one of the best young actors in Japan, if not Asia. He is widely recognised among Japanese dorama/music fans, and has shown his talent in a variety of difficult acting roles. I think he can give some of the young Hollywood heartthrobs a run for their money!

[INTRODUCTION][BIO][TRIVIA][AWARDS][FILMOGRAPHY][PICTURES]
Trivia
- Jun is very shy when it comes to romance and girls. He's not good at expressing his emotions to them (quite ironic thinking of his roles so far!).
- Many people say that Jun is so dedicated to his acting that he stays in character for the duration of the filming even during the variety shows.
- He is very devoted to Arashi, and has been quoted by one of the bandmates as "if Arashi was in a building and it collapsed, Matsujun would be the one holding up the pillars so the other members can escape!"
- Jun is a victim of what is despised by all of us: myopia! He wears contact lens while working so he'll look good, but outside work he is frequently seen in spectacles.
- Unless he initiates it, Jun is not comfortable with other people touching him.
- Jun is not a very friendly person...he won't approach a person unless the person makes the first move. He keeps to the people he knows well.
- He likes to cross his legs while sitting.
- Because many Arashi fans were lured into Arashi by Jun (usually Gokusen, Hanadan or KWP), fans have nicknamed it the 'jun-bait'.
- Aoki Kotomi, the author of the manga 'Boku wa Imouto ni koi o Suru', confessed to being so excited that she nearly fainted when she found out that Jun was chosen to play the lead role of the twin brother, Yori.
- Jun is quite a big fan of the Harry Potter franchise.
- Jun seems to have this anime/manga thing going on in his screenwork!
- His personal time is from 12am - 3am.
- He is good in football.
- He likes dry plums so much that he snatches them away from Aiba.
- He is never able to sleep whenever he room with Aiba or Nino, because Aiba grinds his teeth and Nino howls in the middle of the night.
- Jun is very emotional and can cry while watching a movie.
- Once he almost got blown away while holding a flag.
- His best friend in Arashi is Aiba.
- Jun is the first Japanese male to make it to the cover of the Japanese Marie Claire magazine. The only guys to grace the cover in its 24-year history has been foreign superstars including David Beckham.
- Jun didn't go through an audition to get into Johnny Jrs. Although the usual process is that the boys will have to go through auditions, Jun got a personal call by Johnny himself, to come and watch the auditions. After that, he just got in without knowing it.
- When he was in second grade, he ran out onto the road and was knocked over by a van. Little Jun was severely injured, but he was as chirpy and cheerful as he could be. When the ambulance arrived, he kept apologising to the uncle, saying he was naughty for running out onto the road. (info from arashi.vox.com)
- Jun is very picky about movie/drama scripts, and will only act the roles that interest him.
- Jun is something of a fashion guru...he is known as the most stylish dresser in Arashi.
- He didn't like the HYD curls as much as any of us because of the fashion problems it posed him. When he was on set, it was fine because he had costumes, but once he was out of the set, he couldn't find anything in his wardrobe to compliment his curly hairstyle.
- Little Jun used to idolise Sho.
- If you like Oguri Shun (Hanazawa Rui and Uchi), hear this: Shun got the role as Rui because Jun told the producers that if they didn't give Shun the role, he wouldn't act as Domyouji. In real life, Jun and Shun are good friends, all the way from the Gokusen days.
- Jun used to have a room so messy that sometimes when he slept, he would jerk awake when clothes fell onto his face. Now, though, he has a sort of clothesline above his bed, and he just reaches up and grabs clothes that he wants to wear, saying that it's a lot more convenient.
- Happiest moment was when he made his debut
- Seems like Matsujun wants a dog for a pet at the moment
- Good in soccer and proud of it too. He can do 100 times of lifting (whatever that is) supposedly, however, he was once asked to demonstrate for the MYOJO magazine interview and he couldn't even complete 3!!!
- He would always discard all the deep fried stuff in his bento before tucking in
- Being shy, Matsujun would not dare to confess his love to a girl
- Matsujun is so thin and weak that he was almost blown away by the wind once while asked to hold a flag
- He is emotional and can cry while watching a movie
- He and Nino are said to be the most timid in A.RA.SHI, in the sense that they probably get frightened just by watching horror shows! =)

I'm all for his smile, really. xp At times when he doesn't act all cool, Tsukasa-style, he has a really attractive smile. And then of course, his acting is quite good. 3nodding

Him and I share the same zodiac sign, same pets, same favorite dishes and same personality...who would've ever thought... sweatdrop When I first read this I was a bit freaked out because of all the similarities...and I still kind of am... sweatdrop

Here's a little trivia:
Bisco Hatori (manga-ka of Ouran High School Host Club) is a big fan of MatsuJun, she named Satoshi (Mori's Brother) after MatsuJun's character in Bokura no yuuki ~miman toushi~.
