Ichimatsu Matsuno

Ichimatsu Matsuno, also known as The Pitch-Black Idiot, Ichimacchan and Ichi, is one of the main characters from the Osomatsu series.
== Charactah Account ==
A strong boy with a very honest disposition. Of his brothers, he is the second best fighter.
Ichimatsu is the "lone wolf" of the Matsuno brothers. He has an affinity to cats and chooses to spend time with them instead of people. Because of this, his brothers see him as incapable of friendship, despite the truth that Ichimatsu is just not self-confident to befriend others. However, it very so happens that Ichimatsu actually has a difficult time expressing himself.
In a gag in "Super Detergent", his heart is depicted to be made of glass with a "fragile" sticker on it. This infers that Ichimatsu is very sensitive and only acts dark and cold for his protection, which is so much as suggested earlier on by Todomatsu in "Accident" when he refers to Ichimatsu's true normal feelings being exposed by ESP Kitty (to which Ichimatsu retaliates by stealing Todomatsu's clothes).

== Trivia ==
* Like the other sextuplets and members of the Matsuno family, his surname was initially not set in place and had appeared early on as Yamano. By 1964, it would be set as Matsuno, along with his birthday of May 24th.
* His name is also a shorthanded way to refer to a certain type of traditional Japanese doll.
* An amusing misprint exists in the 1977 Fujio Pro book "There's No Wonderful Business Like That of a Gag!", where his name is spelled in the profile header and it is said "His name isn't spelled", when it should be the other way around. This book is known for some other misnomers in the profile section, including an instance where the kanji for "Adult" is used instead of "Six" in Osomatsu's text; this winds up describing him and his brothers as "Adults" (otona) as opposed to the usual "Six People" (rokunin).
* Due to alternate readings of the 一 kanji, some early unverified English sources such as Helen McCarthy's Anime Encyclopedia would often mistakenly believe his name was meant to be "Kazumatsu" and this can be still sometimes be seen along with the readings of "Jyuyonmatsu" or "Toshimatsu" for his brother Jyushimatsu.
* Ichimatsu mentioned in season 3 episode 25 that he doesn't smoke when he was looking for a place to hang out.
