Comments from the Director and Character Designer of Osomatsu-san

From Animage February 2016 Issue

Director: Fujita Youichi

Character Designer: Asano Naoyuki

Osomatsu

Fujita: I guess you’d call him rough and ready. I also feel like his little brothers grew up weird because he is so absurd lol.

Asano: He hasn’t changed much from the first design I drew. If anything I designed Osomatsu with the idea that the other five brothers are different versions of him.

Karamatsu

Fujita: He has a good voice doesn’t he lol. I kept coming up with lines and turns of phrase that would make people fall in love with his voice.

Asano: He thinks he is cool, so all his poses and expressions are practiced and conscious. He never lets his guard down.

Choromatsu

Fujita: I think he is the most ill-natured. I mean, don’t you think you could say that the fact that he is serious in their ridiculous situation shows that he has no self-awareness? Lol.

Asano: He is probably the most discontented with the fact that he is a sextuplet. Like he thinks ‘I’m different!’

Ichimatsu

Fujita: I think there have been many scenes where his gentle nature comes through. His timidness, or more accurately his sensitivity. Among the six of them he might be the one who has shown the most unexpected sides of himself.

Asano: He is hunched over and has dull eyes, and the air of someone who has forsaken the world. And he’s the kind of person who would go play pachinko in sandals.

Jyuushimatsu

Fujita: I think I was in part influenced by Asano-kun’s design. His mouth is usually open, and when he speaks his lip flaps are in reverse.

Asano: I was careful to ensure that he became a charming and cute character on the verge of being an actually dangerous person without crossing the line.

Todomatsu

Fujita: I think he’s really ill-natured lol. I feel like Todomatsu has a lot of qualities that I lack. Asano: I tried to design him to look like someone who got the stylist in a clothing store to coordinate all his clothes for him.

obsessed w ccckk, todo's characterization feels so sharp and visceral and the tension with atsd just feels so palpable auuugh 💆‍♂️💆‍♂️. its worse than hatesex its like a blowjob but the cock is laced with cyanide. im looking forward to the next chapter :3

anyways for my yaoiful question i think you mentioned b4 what attracted atsushi to todomatsu but im curious what attracts todomatsu to atsushi? also how would you say todos impression of him shifted since. (gestures vaguely)

Kyaaaaa thank you 🙈 always happy to write about the cock that kills

In my mind palace todomatsu is a spiteful gayboy who's into fat guys. Idk how gay culture is in Japan but I can imagine fatphobia runs rampant similarly to how American gay men operate. There's being fat and then there's "gay fat" among skinny gay cruisers. Todomatsu doesn't know anything about this scene (but who's to say Atsushi doesn't?) but operates in a fatphobic society and has enough wherewithal (shame) to hide this fetish. This is based on his actual kink with belly buttons coupled with the weird incestuous sumo camp skit in s3 where todomatsu is undeniably horny about those sumo wrestlers. I'm sure you could interpret it as a different reaction but ultimately the joke of that skit was that he was a raging sissy who didn't wanna conventionally engage with a tradition that is seen as an exclusively masculine ritual. But i digress.

There have been enough scenes where, if todomatsu is given attention, particularly in a comedic light, it's to be the butt of a homophobic/misogynistic/transmisogynistic joke. However, it's real. It's a consistent theme exclusive to his character, separate of any of the others. He's scared of marrying and settling with kids maybe the most of any of them. If we can assume that he genuinely likes his gender nonconformity on some level beyond the home theater improv the brothers perform, that there is a conflict.

If, let's say, the lattice of coincidence connecting society manages to introduce you to someone new who's giving you relatively positive attention in all the right ways that feel real in the way that's Just Yours Alone like the other stuff. The other stuff that flagged you to receive positive attention from a normal guy who just so happens to be bigger. Who just so happens to have better living conditions, with hobbies and friends. There's conflict in an acquaintanceship that gives you everything you want, like a path of least resistance that gels well with your depressed dopamine seeking brain and your terrible terrible terrible impulse control.

Danger lurks in the abyss between stranger normie kinda lame acquaintance to friend with complex thoughts and feelings that are achingly familiar without ever really being spoken on pipeline. Reacting to the positive attention positively means you have bypassed the first checkpoint (does this twink on the brink of twink death fuck with fatties?). You went from envying what you don't have, to basking in what was thrown at you like a dog living off treats, to then having to face the consequences of your terrible impulsive usual intoxicated actions. accepting something as real means having to care about it in a way you aren't familiar with needing to do.

Real is filling in blanks that contradict your highly specific narrative that exists only in your head because you plotted out your life, sick of being an NPC in your own life. Except now it's out of your control and has consequences like taking away the free dopamine machine. Maybe that's when love eclipses fun?

ccckk ch5. excerpt below:

It's as if the magic was never there in the first place. Did you mess up? Where? How? Why? Are you gonna get another chance? When's that gonna happen? Does Totoko-chan not like you? “Hold your face up. I'm almost done.” She starts applying pressure to your lips, humming some half-remembered nursery rhyme. Well, if she didn't like you at least a little bit, you two wouldn't be sitting here like this, right? Yeah, right? Right? At the thought, your face goes supernova beneath layers of pore-clogging gunk. If it was just this forever, and you got to stick your dick in it, that might be the closest to heaven on earth.

Pop Culture References in Osomatsu-san: “Backwards Boyfriend face”

I want to take a moment to talk about this line of official merch Osomatsu-san put out because it involves a neat little bit of Japanese pop culture I hadn’t heard of before. The theme of the merch is「後方彼氏面」which roughly translated means "Backward Boyfriend Face"

The term "Backward Boyfriend Face" refers to male fans of female idols who go to standing live concerts and stand in the back of the venue, or on the second floor looking down from above. They’re typically guys who’ve support the idols for a long time, maybe since their debut.

Now, keep in mind that the term is NOT meant to be positive. The idea is that they're trying to act like they have some sort of personal relationship with the idols (That's why the word "boyfriend" is in there) by being all cool and nonchalant and "not like other fans".

Except they ARE just like other fans and by trying to pretend that they aren't they end up coming off as even more desperate and weird than the dudes up front with the glowsticks.

Basically, Osomatsu-san made a whole line of merchandise themed around calling the main characters a pack of thirsty concert creeps. Which, if we're being honest, really does describe them perfectly.

warm up sketch; I love these fandom head-canon body-type posts :D

[great-blaster]

Director Fujita for “Osomatsu-san” reveals on his twitter only hours before the airing of episode 15 that Jyushimatsu normally wears beach shorts (shorts meant for swimming, not regular shorts). It was an idea by character designer Asano. The fandom is yelling about Jyushimatsu wearing underwear underneath his beach shorts.
