Hokuto Matsumura’s Skincare & Wellness Routine | Diet, Fitness, Sleep

OBARASOTARO

Clear-looking skin, a quietly captivating presence, and an extraordinary ability to transform himself for different roles: Hokuto Matsumura has established a distinctive identity as both a member of the Japanese music group SixTONES and an accomplished actor.

Behind his polished appearances on stage and screen lies a surprisingly detailed approach to everyday life. From skincare and haircare to breakfast, exercise, bathing, and sleep, Matsumura has shared a collection of personal habits that reveal a thoughtful, sometimes delightfully meticulous personality.

His interest in beauty began with skin concerns during high school. By the time he reached 30, he had gradually moved toward a simpler routine built around cleansing and moisturising. He uses facial sheet masks before SixTONES concerts, pays attention to reapplying sunscreen, and even considers water temperature and lathering methods when washing his hair.

His food preferences are equally distinctive. One breakfast he described includes exactly 80 grams of unseasoned mozuku seaweed, carefully measured sesame seeds, sweet Kyushu-style soy sauce, and MCT oil. On film sets, he has brought vegetables prepared at home and warm yomogi herbal tea in a flask, much to the surprise of his co-star Mone Kamishiraishi.

Physical activity has been part of his life since childhood, when he trained in karate. As an adult, he has explored HIIT workouts, running, and gym training. In 2026, at the age of 31, he spoke candidly about noticing changes in his stamina after years of performing demanding live shows.

Away from work, Matsumura enjoys reading, films, music, wandering through unfamiliar neighbourhoods, and bowling with actor Yo Oizumi. He has also talked about his approach to bathing, the challenges of sleep, and a home planetarium that reminds him of the night skies he saw growing up in Shizuoka.

Drawing on interviews and public information from 2021 through October 2026, this in-depth feature explores Hokuto Matsumura's skincare, haircare, diet, herbal tea preferences, exercise, sleep, family background, friendships, and relationships with his fellow performers.

For readers discovering Matsumura for the first time, it also traces his career and the personal experiences that help explain how his lifestyle and creative work fit together.

1. Who Is Hokuto Matsumura? SixTONES, Acting Career, Family and Views on Marriage

Hokuto Matsumura was born on June 18, 1995, in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. He entered the entertainment industry in 2009 and made his major-label CD debut in January 2020 as a member of the six-person group SixTONES, with the single "Imitation Rain."

Matsumura began working in entertainment while still attending school. As a teenager, he travelled from Shizuoka to Tokyo for professional commitments, gradually gaining experience in television and music.

His early acting credits include the 2012 drama "Shiritsu Bakaleya Koukou" ("Private Bakaleya High School"). He later attracted wider attention through the NHK morning drama "Come Come Everybody," playing Minoru Kijima, the husband of Yasuko, portrayed by Mone Kamishiraishi.

His performance brought warmth and emotional depth to a character remembered for his intelligence and sincerity.

In 2022, Matsumura voiced Sota Munakata in Makoto Shinkai's animated film "Suzume," demonstrating another side of his acting abilities through voice performance.

His subsequent film credits include "Kyrie," "All the Long Nights," and "Dear Family." In 2025, he appeared alongside Takako Matsu in "First Kiss" and played the central character in the live-action adaptation of "5 Centimeters per Second."

His 2026 projects included "The Swan and the Bat," featuring co-star Mio Imada, the film adaptation of "Even If This Love Disappears from the World Tonight" creator Nagi's contemporary literary sphere's unrelated title "汝、星のごとく" ("As Long as the Stars Shine"), and the Netflix drama "The Sins of Kujo," in which he appeared alongside Yuya Yagira.

As a SixTONES member, Matsumura performs music and choreography in front of large audiences. As an actor, he takes on characters with widely differing personalities, ages, and circumstances.

These two careers also influence his approach to personal grooming. A concert calls for a polished appearance under bright stage lighting, while an intimate film performance may require a more understated, lived-in look.

His skincare, hairstyling, and fitness habits reflect an awareness of the different ways his appearance contributes to the stories he tells.

Growing Up in Shizuoka and the Lessons He Learned from His Parents

Matsumura's relationship with exercise began long before his entertainment career.

In a 2021 interview with the Japanese magazine LEE, he recalled becoming interested in karate after seeing it on television. He approached his parents and asked if he could begin training.

They agreed, with one important condition: once he started, he should commit to continuing for at least a year, even if it became difficult.

Training was challenging, and Matsumura experienced moments when progress felt slow. He nevertheless continued practising and eventually competed at a national tournament while in his first year of junior high school.

He has explained that his parents encouraged him to think carefully about why he wanted to begin or end an activity. Their approach emphasised making decisions for himself and taking responsibility for those choices.

That early experience offers an interesting perspective on his approach to acting, exercise, and personal routines today. He appears comfortable experimenting, reflecting on what suits him, and changing his methods as his circumstances evolve.

His Views on Marriage and the Family Habits Behind His Approach to Housework

In a 2024 interview with CLASSY., published around his appearance as a single father in the drama "Saionji-san wa Kaji wo Shinai," Matsumura discussed marriage, household responsibilities, and the kind of domestic relationship he would find comfortable.

He spoke positively about living with someone who shares a similar attitude toward housework. For him, the appealing idea is a partnership in which both people naturally contribute and feel comfortable relying on each other.

His family background helps explain this perspective.

In the Matsumura household, cleaning up after dinner was a shared activity. Children would carry dishes away from the table; someone would begin washing, another person would dry, and the family would eventually prepare coffee once everything was finished.

Rather than assigning every responsibility to one person, the family developed an easy, cooperative rhythm around the end of each meal.

Matsumura has carried some of those habits into adulthood. When cooking, he enjoys washing used bowls, cutting boards, and utensils while waiting for food to finish simmering.

The connection between childhood routines and adult independence makes these details especially revealing.

He also spoke about his changing feelings toward marriage. Earlier in life, he had imagined establishing a family around the age his parents had done so. By the time of the 2024 interview, when he was 29, he said he no longer felt the same urgency.

Seeing friends marry and become parents had given him opportunities to reflect on his own priorities.

As of October 2026, no official marriage announcement by Matsumura or his representatives had been identified in the public information reviewed for this article. His comments here describe the views he expressed in interviews rather than assumptions about his private relationships.

Did You Know? 1 — He Once Cleaned His Home Until It Smelled Brand New

In his 2024 CLASSY. interview, Matsumura recalled becoming especially enthusiastic about cleaning during the COVID-19 period. He enjoyed the process so much that his home eventually developed a scent that reminded him of a newly built house. He also associated having the time and energy to enjoy chores with feeling more relaxed in everyday life.

2. Hokuto Matsumura's Skincare Routine: From Teenage Skin Concerns to Minimalist Care

Matsumura's interest in beauty began with a personal experience familiar to many people: dealing with troublesome skin during his teenage years.

In a 2026 interview with the Japanese beauty publication biST, he recalled becoming interested in skincare after experiencing skin concerns in high school and trying a dietary supplement.

That period encouraged him to pay more attention to how he looked after his skin and gradually deepened his curiosity about beauty.

At a skincare brand event in May 2025, he also discussed having concerns about the skin on his cheeks as a student.

Years later, he found it meaningful that his career had brought him opportunities to work with skincare brands and participate in shoots that highlighted his natural skin.

He described feeling emotional when comparing those experiences with his younger self.

The supplement he mentioned is best understood as part of his personal history. His comments illustrate when his interest in skincare began, rather than establishing that a particular product would produce the same experience for others.

A Simple Routine Built Around Cleansing, Lotion, Cream and UV Care

Although Matsumura has experimented with different cosmetic products over the years, his approach became more streamlined as he reached his thirties.

In his 2026 biST interview, he described a basic skincare routine consisting of cleansing, Japanese-style facial lotion, moisturising cream, and morning UV care.

He explained that he had gradually reduced the number of products he used, settling on a simpler approach that felt appropriate for his skin at that stage of life.

Japanese facial lotion is generally a lightweight hydrating product applied after cleansing, rather than the astringent toner that some English-speaking readers may associate with the word "lotion."

In a 2025 MAQUIA interview, Matsumura noted that his preferred cleansing routine had changed with age. At the time, he was comfortable using a cleanser both morning and evening.

He has also described using a foaming cleanser and trying to minimise direct hand contact with his face while washing.

This attention to the texture of the cleanser and the way he applies it shows that his routine involves practical details rather than simply collecting products.

He has said that seasonal conditions influence his approach too.

At the May 2025 skincare event, he discussed being increasingly conscious of ultraviolet exposure and reapplying sunscreen during the day. He also mentioned paying attention to vitamins in his diet.

His routine combines a small number of familiar skincare steps with adjustments for the season and the demands of work.

Why He Uses Face Masks Before SixTONES Concerts but Changes His Approach for Film Roles

One of the most distinctive aspects of Matsumura's beauty routine is how closely it relates to his work.

In MAQUIA in 2025, he explained that he uses facial sheet masks before having his makeup applied for SixTONES concerts.

During tours, he likes the appearance of dewy, luminous skin and makes sheet masks part of his preparations for the stage.

When filming dramas or movies, however, he considers the character's circumstances before deciding how carefully to prepare his skin.

His work on the 2025 live-action film "5 Centimeters per Second" offers a particularly interesting example.

He played Takaki Tono, a man whose adult life is shaped by unresolved memories and emotional distance. Matsumura has spoken about allowing a more natural skin texture to contribute to the character's appearance.

That is a different objective from presenting polished, glowing skin at a concert.

For Matsumura, personal grooming can be part of a larger creative decision. His approach is shaped by whether he is presenting himself as a musician or portraying the everyday life of a fictional character.

"5 Centimeters per Second" also held personal meaning for him because he had been attached to the original work for years before being cast in its live-action adaptation.

Playing a character from a beloved story gave him both excitement and a strong sense of responsibility.

His careful consideration of the character's appearance is one illustration of how seriously he takes such roles.

Matsumura has also shared products from skincare brands he works with among his family and fellow SixTONES members.

He mentioned that at least one member liked a product enough to request it again. Beauty, in this case, became another topic of everyday conversation within the group.

Did You Know? 2 — A Borzoi Was His Co-Star in a Skincare Commercial

In 2025, Matsumura appeared alongside a borzoi dog in a skincare advertisement. He has spoken about growing up with dogs, so the animal connection was particularly enjoyable for him. At a promotional event, he warmly recalled working with the large, elegant dog and seeing it again.

3. Haircare and Styling: Pre-Washing, Foamed Shampoo and His Perm Routine

Matsumura's attention to detail extends beyond skincare to the way he washes and styles his hair.

At an event for the haircare brand anummy in February 2026, he described his hair as naturally fine and said he sometimes noticed dryness or a rough texture.

At the time, he had grown his hair and had a perm for an acting role, making his everyday routine particularly important to him.

One of his most unusual habits involves preparing his hair before applying shampoo.

He explained that he carefully rinses his hair with water that is not excessively hot. He then uses a foam-making tool, similar to one used for facial cleansing, to create lather before working shampoo through his hair.

His emphasis on the preparation stage reflects an interest in the washing process itself, including how water and foam feel on his hair.

During the event, he spoke favourably about the fragrance and finish of the anummy moisturising shampoo he was using at that time.

He also mentioned using the brand's leave-in Enrich Milk and sometimes relying on that product alone for a simple hairstyle on a day off.

These comments were made during his work as a brand ambassador, and they describe products and practices he discussed in that specific professional context.

His Three-Step Approach to Styling Permed Hair

Matsumura also gave a detailed account of how he was styling his permed hair in February 2026.

He said that the appearance of curls can change as hair dries, so he pays attention to balancing movement, volume, and a tidy finish.

His routine at the time began with hair milk, followed by hair oil, with a gloss spray used as a finishing touch.

He explained that movement can sometimes be less noticeable in dark hair. By paying attention to shine and the way light catches the curls, he tries to make their shape more visible.

This concern with the appearance of individual strands makes sense for an actor who regularly changes hairstyles to fit different characters.

For Matsumura, hair is part of both everyday grooming and the visual storytelling of a performance.

He has even described feeling something similar to admiring a work of art when looking at beautifully maintained hair.

What interests him is the finished appearance and the time, care, and thought that may have gone into it.

Given his enthusiasm for films and visual art, this unusually reflective attitude toward hair seems particularly characteristic of him.

Did You Know? 3 — He Played a Hair-Obsessed Researcher in an Advertisement

For anummy's 2026 commercial, Matsumura appeared as a character known as "Hokuto Researcher," wearing a white laboratory coat and becoming fascinated by beautiful hair. At the promotional event, he also acknowledged the work of the production crew, recalling how the team had filmed in warm conditions to create the finished commercial.

4. Diet and Drinks: An 80-Gram Seaweed Breakfast, Homemade Vegetables and Herbal Tea

Few details reveal Matsumura's meticulous side more clearly than the breakfast he discussed in March 2026.

In his biST interview, he said that he often ate 80 grams of mozuku seaweed alongside yoghurt in the morning.

Rather than buying pre-seasoned mozuku, he selected an unflavoured version and prepared the seasoning himself.

He added ground sesame seeds amounting to approximately one-tenth of the seaweed's weight, with an equal balance of white and black sesame.

His preferred seasoning included sweet Kyushu-style soy sauce and MCT oil.

Although Matsumura grew up in Shizuoka, the sweet soy sauce has a family connection: it was a flavour used in his childhood home.

That combination of precise measurements and familiar family tastes makes the routine especially personal.

He also described an ideal breakfast that would include rice and a vegetable soup alongside the mozuku.

For the soup, he favoured a Japanese-style broth with pickled plum for flavour, adding vegetables available at the time, such as salad spinach and enoki mushrooms.

His approach is detailed where he has specific preferences, yet flexible when it comes to using the ingredients on hand.

Blood Tests, Leafy Greens and Preparing Food for Busy Filming Days

Matsumura's interest in everyday nutrition has also been influenced by previous blood tests.

In interviews connected with the 2024 film "All the Long Nights," he spoke about paying more attention to certain foods after receiving comments about his iron levels.

He subsequently became more conscious of including leafy vegetables in his meals, including lettuce varieties and salad spinach.

In MAQUIA in 2025, he also mentioned eating sea vegetables and foods such as mekabu, another type of edible seaweed.

He has described thinking about the quantity of oils and fats in his meals and adjusting his diet according to his circumstances.

Cooking in advance is another part of his approach.

When his schedule is busy, he sometimes prepares vegetables and other dishes ahead of time, stores them in the refrigerator, and packs them into containers to take to work.

The practice is particularly useful on mornings when he has limited time before leaving for a film set.

It was this habit that surprised his co-star Mone Kamishiraishi during the filming of "All the Long Nights."

In a 2024 joint interview, Kamishiraishi recalled seeing Matsumura eating vegetables he had brought from home while others on set were having prepared lunch boxes.

When she asked about them, Matsumura explained that he had prepared the vegetables that morning and packed them himself.

He was also regularly carrying a flask.

When its contents came up in conversation, he revealed that he had brought warm yomogi tea, a Japanese herbal infusion made using mugwort.

During that period, he was adjusting his weight for the role of Takatoshi Yamazoe and paying particular attention to his food choices.

Kamishiraishi was impressed by the care he took over his routine during a demanding filming schedule. She later said that his example encouraged her to start carrying a flask herself.

The exchange is a memorable illustration of how small personal habits can become part of the relationships formed on set.

Matsumura's choice of yomogi tea is documented as something he was drinking at that time. It is presented here as a personal preference rather than a recommendation for treating any health condition.

He had also spoken in 2022 about drinking warm water in the morning.

Together, these details show that warm beverages have appeared in his daily routine at different points in his career.

Enjoying Spicy Food, Chocolate and Favourite Flavours

Alongside his carefully measured breakfasts and prepared vegetables, Matsumura also enjoys food simply for the pleasure it brings.

In an October 2026 interview with CLASSY., he said that eating something he particularly likes can be a way to lift his mood.

During the summer, he often gravitates toward spicy or strongly flavoured dishes.

At a 2025 beauty magazine shoot, he was also photographed enjoying chocolate provided for the team.

He amused those around him by talking about how a small amount of something truly delicious could leave him satisfied.

These stories provide a welcome contrast to the carefully measured sesame seeds in his breakfast.

They portray someone who appreciates both everyday planning and the simple enjoyment of a favourite taste.

Did You Know? 4 — Chicken Breast Lunch Boxes Became a SixTONES Backstage Topic

During a September 13, 2026 appearance on the television programme "Meshidora SP," Matsumura discussed the lunch boxes provided backstage for SixTONES. His remarks about chicken-breast-based meals surprised the other guests and brought a humorous glimpse of the group's growing awareness of stamina and physical preparation.

5. Exercise and Fitness: Training at 31, HIIT, Running and a Karate Background

In September 2026, Matsumura shared one of his most revealing reflections on physical fitness.

During his appearance on "Meshidora SP," he spoke about performing live shows since his teens and gradually noticing changes in his stamina as he reached 31.

Although he continued singing and dancing much as he had for years, he became more aware of physical fatigue after demanding concerts.

He recalled one occasion when his face became extremely red after a performance, prompting him to think more seriously about his physical condition.

The experience contributed to his decision to work on his stamina through gym training.

For an entertainer who performs choreography while singing in front of thousands of people, fitness is closely connected to the practical demands of the job.

His comments suggest that continuing to perform well over the years has become an important motivation for his exercise routine.

From Daily HIIT to a More Manageable Weekly Routine

In March 2026, Matsumura told biST that he had resumed high-intensity interval training, commonly known as HIIT.

HIIT involves alternating periods of demanding activity with shorter recovery intervals.

He said that he had once attempted it almost daily but found that the routine became difficult to sustain.

When returning to the training in 2026, he adopted a more manageable goal of one or two sessions per week.

He had also resumed gym workouts and running.

On the morning of the interview, he had run a little over four kilometres in slightly more than 30 minutes.

This was a description of one particular morning, rather than a claim about his daily running distance.

His interest in running was already apparent in 2022, when he discussed wanting a treadmill for home use.

Seen together, these interviews show how his approach to fitness has evolved alongside changes in his age, workload, and personal preferences.

In another 2026 biST interview, Matsumura also spoke about wanting SixTONES members and production staff to share useful information about maintaining stamina during the group's busy anniversary year.

His concern extended beyond his own training to the people working alongside him.

Practising Sumo Stances with Yuya Yagira on "The Sins of Kujo"

One especially entertaining exercise story comes from the Netflix drama "The Sins of Kujo."

Matsumura played Shinji Karasuma, a younger lawyer working with Kujo, portrayed by Yuya Yagira.

During the extended filming schedule, Yagira began practising the traditional sumo movement known as shiko before shooting.

Matsumura joined him, drawing on his childhood karate experience and familiarity with the wide-legged stance used in martial arts.

The practice developed into a small morning ritual, and members of the production crew eventually joined in.

Yagira reportedly admired Matsumura's form and jokingly gave him the nickname "Shiko Master."

It is a charming example of how Matsumura's childhood training resurfaced years later during an acting project.

The movement also provided a moment of camaraderie on the set of an otherwise serious drama.

Did You Know? 5 — Not Everyone Wanted to Join the Morning Shiko Routine

At an event connected with "The Sins of Kujo," the cast discussed how the morning shiko practice had spread to the crew. Co-star Elaiza Ikeda jokingly recalled trying to avoid being invited to join in. The story offered a lighthearted contrast to the drama's intense subject matter.

6. Sleep and Relaxation: Half Baths, Bedding and a Home Planetarium

Matsumura has often described bathing and sleep as important parts of how he spends time away from work.

In a 2023 interview with CanCam, he explained that when his professional schedule was particularly full, he preferred to focus on enjoying a bath after work and getting to bed rather than filling his evening with extra activities.

At the time, he described taking half baths for approximately 20 to 30 minutes in water around 40°C.

He generally liked bathing before bedtime. On days with more free time, he sometimes enjoyed a full bath after exercising in the morning.

Bath products were another source of enjoyment.

He mentioned using oil-based bath products and local speciality bath additives, choosing according to his mood.

While bathing, he might listen to music or radio, watch a video, or browse online shops.

The bath was therefore both a familiar daily habit and a space where he could enjoy activities he liked.

Matsumura has also discussed bedding, describing his bed as one of the places in his home where he feels particularly comfortable.

He said that he had continued using bedding he liked for a long time, and he occasionally watched videos or played games while relaxing there.

Sleep itself, however, has sometimes been challenging for him.

He has spoken openly and with humour about trying different approaches to bedtime and finding it difficult to fall asleep on certain occasions.

A Home Planetarium That Brings Back Memories of Shizuoka

One of Matsumura's most distinctive relaxation items is a home planetarium.

He received it as a birthday present around the time he was involved in a film connected with planetariums.

Growing up in Shizuoka, he remembered seeing beautiful night skies in the natural surroundings of his hometown.

The projected stars in his home provide a connection to those childhood memories.

The device also includes nature sounds. Matsumura has mentioned preferring the sound of grasslands, while finding some water sounds, such as rivers or the sea, a little unsettling.

Even within a collection of peaceful natural sounds, he has very individual preferences.

In a 2026 television appearance, he also recalled a period when sleep was difficult and he sometimes went walking at night.

On one occasion, he spent time in a park where he could see the stars, and the view reminded him of Shizuoka.

That personal memory helps explain why the home planetarium later became such a meaningful object for him.

From the real night sky above a park to projected stars in his own room, a sense of connection to familiar scenery remains part of the way he enjoys quieter moments.

Did You Know? 6 — He Sometimes Misses the Shooting Stars

Matsumura's home planetarium includes an occasional shooting-star feature. He joked that he often fails to see the shooting stars because he removes his glasses when going to sleep. It is a small, amusing detail about an otherwise much-loved bedtime item.

Did You Know? 7 — He Has Recommended SixTONES Songs for Bath Time

In a 2023 CanCam interview, Matsumura named SixTONES tracks such as "Make Up" and "Curtain Call" as songs he enjoyed for relaxing in the bath. He also mentioned liking "Takes Two" and "8am." The music he performs professionally is part of his private listening habits too.

7. Hobbies and Personal Interests: Books, Films, Walking and Bowling with Yo Oizumi

Skincare and exercise tell only part of the story of Matsumura's everyday life.

He has long expressed enthusiasm for books, films, art, music, and becoming deeply involved in the things he loves.

In a 2025 MAQUIA interview, he described himself as someone who enjoys the kind of dedicated fandom known in Japan as oshikatsu.

When an artist or work interests him, he may research it extensively, join a fan club, or attend related events.

One television programme he has loved for years is "How Do You Like Wednesday?" ("Suiyou Dou Deshou"), a Japanese travel and variety series associated with actor Yo Oizumi.

Matsumura has talked about revisiting favourite works while continuing to explore new films and music.

He also believes that the feelings he experiences as an audience member can contribute to his own creative work.

He is simultaneously an artist who creates performances and a devoted fan who enjoys the work of others.

How Yo Oizumi Introduced Him to a New Side of Bowling

In February 2026, Matsumura spoke about developing a growing interest in bowling.

The hobby became closely linked to his friendship with Yo Oizumi, an actor he had admired for years.

The two had begun spending time together outside work, including going out for meals and shopping.

Oizumi eventually invited Matsumura bowling, and the activity became something they enjoyed together.

After they had played several times, Oizumi suggested that Matsumura should have his own bowling ball and shoes.

He then gave Matsumura a personal ball and bowling shoes as a gift.

Matsumura found the experience of using a fitted ball different from using a standard rental ball, particularly because of how the finger holes were positioned.

What had started as a casual activity with a respected senior actor became a hobby in which he wanted to improve his scores.

This story adds another dimension to his interest in physical activity. His karate background and gym routines reflect more structured training, while bowling has become a way to enjoy movement and friendship together.

Walking Through Unfamiliar Streets with Music and Radio

Walking is another activity Matsumura enjoys in his spare time.

In an October 2026 CLASSY. interview, he described a favourite way of spending a day outside.

He might leave home with one practical task in mind, such as shopping or an appointment, then allow himself to wander around the surrounding neighbourhood once that task is complete.

He enjoys discovering streets he does not know while listening to music or radio.

In another interview that year, he mentioned sometimes walking for much of the day, stopping at cafés or restaurants along the way.

Tokyo's Marunouchi area has particular significance for him.

As a young teenager travelling to the capital from Shizuoka for work, he remembered being overwhelmed by the size of Tokyo Station.

Years later, the same area has become somewhere he can visit exhibitions, explore cafés, and simply enjoy walking at his own pace.

The change from a young performer navigating an unfamiliar city to an established actor leisurely enjoying its streets captures something of his personal journey.

Did You Know? 8 — He Loves a Good Sale

In a 2026 CLASSY. interview, Matsumura spoke about how his fashion preferences had changed with age. He had become less drawn to conspicuous designs, but his approach to shopping remained familiar: he enjoys finding several reasonably priced pieces he genuinely likes, and he admitted that he loves sales.

Did You Know? 9 — Tokyo Station Was the Setting of an Unexpected Encounter

Matsumura has recalled experiencing his first police stop-and-question encounter around Tokyo Station. For someone who had been travelling through the area since his early teens, it became an unusual addition to his collection of memories of the city.

8. SixTONES, Co-Stars and Friendships: The People Behind His Professional Journey

Relationships with fellow performers are another important part of Matsumura's story.

His SixTONES bandmates have shared years of rehearsals, performances, recordings, and personal changes with him.

In MAQUIA in 2025, he discussed how his understanding of the other members had developed with time.

He spoke particularly warmly about Shintaro Morimoto, explaining that qualities he had struggled to understand when they were younger had gradually become aspects of Morimoto's personality that he appreciated more deeply.

Their long shared history has given them opportunities to see each other change and mature.

In 2026, SixTONES celebrated the sixth anniversary of its CD debut.

Matsumura discussed his wish to give fans a wide range of music and entertainment experiences while also paying attention to the people working behind the scenes.

His interest in sharing fitness information with the wider production team reflected that sense of working together.

His acting career has meanwhile introduced him to a broad range of colleagues.

He worked with Mone Kamishiraishi on both "Come Come Everybody" and "All the Long Nights."

During their first project, they had limited opportunities to get to know one another fully. Reuniting for the film allowed them to discover new sides of each other's personalities.

Matsumura said that he came to appreciate Kamishiraishi's humour and the pleasure of talking with her.

They also recognised something familiar in each other's experience of becoming more widely known through a major NHK morning drama.

In 2025, he appeared alongside Takako Matsu in "First Kiss," portraying a married couple across different periods of their relationship.

The project required him to consider changes in the character's age, appearance, and emotional experience.

He spoke appreciatively about developing the role through his collaboration with Matsu.

In 2026, Matsumura worked with Mio Imada on "The Swan and the Bat." Interviews around the film also provided opportunities to discuss work, daily routines, and how he spends time away from professional commitments.

Another senior figure he has spoken about with admiration is Lily Franky.

In an October 2026 interview, Matsumura explained that Lily Franky sometimes watches his performances and offers thoughtful observations about the significance of particular casting choices and roles.

Rather than offering only general praise, he takes time to discuss the work in detail.

Matsumura said that receiving such comments from someone he respects is personally encouraging.

A Reunion After Approximately 16 Years

At a September 2025 event for the live-action film "5 Centimeters per Second," Matsumura shared a story about an unexpected reunion.

He had attended a stage production featuring a close friend from his school days when one of the actors caught his attention.

Something about the performer seemed familiar.

After the performance, Matsumura learned from his friend that the actor had attended the same entertainment-industry audition as him roughly 16 years earlier.

They had followed different paths since that early starting point but were both still involved in acting.

Seeing someone from that time continuing to pursue the profession inspired Matsumura to keep working hard himself.

It was a reminder of how long his career had been developing and how the paths of people from the same early chapter can unexpectedly cross again.

His close friendships also play a role in his personal life.

In MAQUIA in 2025, he described occasionally exchanging long LINE messages with a close friend when his thoughts became complicated.

Putting his feelings into words and receiving another person's perspective appears to be a meaningful way for him to reflect on difficult questions.

These relationships, whether formed through childhood, music, or acting, provide a richer picture of the person behind his public performances.

Did You Know? 10 — Playing a Father Was a New Experience

In the 2024 drama "Saionji-san wa Kaji wo Shinai," Matsumura played a single father. Having grown up as the youngest child in his family, he described the role as a fresh challenge. He also said that the young actress playing his daughter, Ema Kurata, sometimes helped guide their scenes together.

Did You Know? 11 — Long LINE Messages Are Part of His Friendships

Matsumura has spoken about sending detailed messages to a close friend when he has many thoughts to work through. The exchanges allow him to express his ideas in words and hear another perspective, offering an insight into his reflective personality.

Did You Know? 12 — His Blog Serves as His Personal Social-Media Outlet

In a 2026 biST interview, Matsumura explained that he does not personally use social-media platforms in the usual way and regards his blog as a place to communicate. He also spoke about respecting the different ways fans choose to enjoy SixTONES content.

Conclusion: What Hokuto Matsumura's Wellness Habits Reveal About His Lifestyle

Hokuto Matsumura's skincare and wellness habits form a much richer picture than any single beauty tip could provide.

His daily life includes cleansing and moisturising, facial sheet masks before concerts, attention to ultraviolet exposure, carefully considered haircare, homemade meals, running, gym training, bathing, and efforts to create a comfortable environment for sleep.

Each practice has a personal story behind it.

His interest in skincare began with teenage skin concerns. His taste for sweet Kyushu soy sauce came from family meals. His commitment to exercise has roots in childhood karate and the changing physical demands of life as a performer.

In 2026, he spoke about a streamlined skincare routine, an 80-gram mozuku breakfast, HIIT sessions once or twice a week, and a home planetarium that brings memories of Shizuoka into his living space.

Later that year, he discussed noticing changes in his stamina at 31 and working on his fitness for the continuing demands of live performance.

His interests extend far beyond personal grooming. He enjoys reading, films, music, walking through unfamiliar streets, and learning to improve at bowling with Yo Oizumi.

His relationships have generated memorable stories too: homemade vegetables and warm herbal tea noticed by Mone Kamishiraishi, morning shiko sessions with Yuya Yagira, an unexpected reunion after 16 years, and thoughtful encouragement from Lily Franky.

Perhaps the most appealing contrast is between the polished performer seen on stage and the person who carefully measures sesame seeds for breakfast or packs vegetables before leaving for a film set.

Both sides belong to the same individual.

As Matsumura's career continues, his routines will naturally evolve with his roles, schedule, and personal preferences. His interviews offer a fascinating record of how one performer thinks about looking after himself while pursuing music, acting, and the everyday pleasures that make life enjoyable.
