- Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: In Death Note.
- Promoted Fanboy: A Hotblooded genre fanboy, Matsuyama outed in all of his Promare interviews that he loves Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Kill la Kill, and especially GaoGaiGar; for which he would regularly seek for emotional energy, and expressed his over-the-moon excitement to be cast alongside his voice acting idol, Nobuyuki Hiyama for this animated feature film.
- Unkempt Beauty: Some of his roles (most notably L).
