== Biography ==
Back then, Kenichi Matsui was the leader of the Crusaders. However, that changed during a job where he killed Tadashi Tadokoro during a confrontation. Upon doing so, he found out the man was a father of two kids. Overridden with guilt, Matsu left the gang and did what he could to reform, dropping Akira and Kaori off at an orphanage where they would grow up while stopping by to check on them. At some point before, he helped Doc Tobei escape from a mad scientist's clutches.
Eventually, Akira develops psychic powers and gets into a fight with the Crusaders, prompting Matsu to jump in and get him out of the scrap before the boy gets hurt. After which, he drops Akira off at the orphanage and sets off to investigate the Crusaders' plans.
Eventually, he is told by Akira that the Crusaders kidnapped Kazu from the orphanage, and the two work together to save the kid. There, they learn that the Crusaders are working for a group of Conspirators. With this revelation, Matsu sets off to face them alone, telling Akira to return to the orphanage. When Akira follows, he does what he can to keep him safe.
As they fight their way through the building, they discover something very horrifying in its centre: the kidnapped victims are liquified and are used to fuel a false god worshipped by the Conspirators (one of them being the mad scientist). They are then forced to fight a robot of theirs, which is soon revealed to have the soul of Watanabe's father upon its defeat. After escaping from the labs, Matsu learns about Steel Titan and how Akira was unable to activate it. He makes his way to the mech's cockpit and tries to move it himself, to no avail. In grief, he goes to a bar that deals out Matango.
However, shortly after, the Crusaders set fire to the orphanage under orders of the Conspirators, trapping the Tadokoro siblings (and Taroimo) inside. Matsu rushes back to Steel Titan bringing enough Matango in order to give himself enough psychic energy to power up and control the mech. However, while this does manage to break through them out of the burning orphanage and defeat the Crusaders, it also ends up overtaxing Matsu as he collapses. Before he draws his last breath, Akira reads his mind, to which Matsu lets the boy know the truth. With this, Akira finishes Matsu's fight against the Conspirators and later takes over his taiyaki shop in honor of him.
===Bad Endings===
If Akira loses to Odeo (Odio's intervention or not), Matsu (wherever he's a spirit or hallucation) can only call out Akira on giving up.
