Hokuto Matsumura (松村 北斗, Matsumura Hokuto; born June 18, 1995) is a Japanese singer and actor who is a member of the Japanese boy group SixTones. He has been inducted into the Vivi Ikemen hall of fame in 2021.

Early life

Matsumura held a black belt in karate, having finished second place in the prefectural tournament.[1] He was motivated to send in his application to the talent agency Smile-Up (formerly known as Johnny & Associates) because of his admiration for Tomohisa Yamashita's work after watching the drama Kurosagi.[2]

Career

Matsumura joined the talent agency Johnny & Associates in 2009 before releasing his first CD as a part of the temporary units Yuma Nakayama w/B.I.Shadow[3] and NYC boys.[4] His acting debut in 2012 film Shiritsu Bakaleya Koukou was praised by Johnny Kitagawa and he later was given a lead role in TBS golden hour drama Kuro no Onna Kyoushi.[5]

In 2013, Matsumura ranked first 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.'s variety show produced by TV Asahi, Gamushara,[6] which ended its broadcast the same month in 2016. During the Johnny's Ginza concert, which occurred at Tokyo's Theatre Crea in May 2015, Matsumura became part of newly-announced Johnny's Jr. group SixTones with most of Bakaleya main cast as his bandmates. The same year, he also co-starred with two of his bandmates – Jesse and Juri Tanaka – in their first lead roles for the film Vanilla Boy, which premiered nationwide in September 2016.[7]

As a member of SixTones, Matsumura has starred in few musical stage shows – such as the long historic Shounentachi – for every year since 2015 with other Johnny's Jr. group Snow Man.[8] He made his voice acting debut as Souta Munakata in Suzume.[9]
