Japanese actor Kohei Matsushita (松下洸平), 39, announced on Instagram on July 20 that he and his wife have welcomed their first child.
According to Sports Hochi, Matsushita shared the news directly with fans, writing that he hopes their child can “spend each day filled with kindness and smiles.” The post did not include further specifics, such as the child’s gender or exact birth date, in the portions of the announcement covered by initial reports. The update quickly drew hundreds of comments from followers offering congratulations.
The news comes about a year after Matsushita revealed in July 2025 that he had married a non-celebrity woman. He had kept the relationship largely private until that wedding announcement, and Monday’s post marked one of the few times he has shared personal family news publicly since then.
Who is Kohei Matsushita?
Kohei Matsushita is a Japanese actor represented by the talent agency Cube. Alongside his acting work, he is also known as a musician, and he has built a career in Japan’s entertainment industry spanning more than a decade, appearing in television dramas and stage productions.
As is common among Japanese celebrities, Matsushita kept many details of both his marriage and his wife’s identity out of the public eye, focusing his announcement on gratitude and hopes for his child’s future rather than personal specifics.
