Background

His best achievements include ranking 2nd in the prefectural tournament[1] and qualifying for the national tournament. He quit Karate in 2009 to focus on his entertainment career.

He was motivated to send in his application to the talent agency Johnny & Associates by his admiration toward Tomohisa Yamashita after watching the drama Kurosagi.[2]

In 2013, Matsumura ranked 1st in popular idol magazine Myojo's annual poll "Jr's Most Wanted As Lover". In March 2014, he starred as main member in Johnny's Jr new TV variety show produced by TV Asahi, Gamushara[6] which ended its airing the same month in 2016.

During concert Johnny's Ginza, which was held at Tokyo's Theatre Crea in May 2015, Matsumura became part of newly announced Johnny's Jr. unit called SixTONES with most of Bakaleya main cast as his bandmates. In the same year, he also co-starred with his bandmates, Jesse and Juri Tanaka in their first lead roles in the movie Vanilla Boy which premiered nationwide in September 2016.[7]
