Tropes applying to this actor:

• Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: In Death Note and Zeni Geba.
• Likes Older Women: Wife Koyuki is eight years older than him.
• Mean Character, Nice Actor: Has played a fair few oddballs, and one or two nutcases, but comes off in interviews as a perfectly nice, rather serious young man, even a little shy.
• One of Us: Admits a fondness for 90's manga.
• Ugly Cute: Several of his characters due to Adaptational Attractiveness, L and Futaro particularly - both are intended to be ugly/horribly disfigured, but even the makeup department's best efforts cannot disguise that Matsuyama is actually quite handsome.
• Unkempt Beauty: Some of his roles (most notably L), and sometimes also the man himself.
