{{Nihongo|'''Takako Matsu'''|松 たか子|Matsu Takako}} (born {{Nihongo|'''Takako Fujima'''|藤間 隆子|Fujima Takako}} on June 10, 1977) is a Japanese actress and [[J-pop|pop]] singer.

== Personal life ==
Matsu was born to a family of [[buyō]] and [[kabuki]] actors, including her father [[Matsumoto Hakuō II]], her mother and businesswoman Noriko Fujima, her uncle, [[Nakamura Kichiemon II]], her elder brother [[Matsumoto Kōshirō X]], her sister Kio Matsumoto, and [[stage director]] Kazuhisa Kawahara.{{citation needed|date=May 2014}} She married guitarist and [[record producer]] Yoshiyuki Sahashi on December 28, 2007. Her married name is {{nihongo|Takako Sahashi|佐橋隆子|Sahashi Takako}}. She has the name of [[Nihon-buyō|Natori]] of the Matsumoto school of Nippon Buyō (Japanese dancing); {{nihongo|Shodai Matsumoto Kōka|初代 松本 幸華|4="Kōka Matsumoto the First"}}. She chose the surname "Matsu" to honor the family. In an interview, she said she and her siblings are close to their mother.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://feature.movies.jp.msn.com/interview/tokyo.htm|title=Tokyo Tower Matsu Takako Interview (MSN Entertainment)|access-date=2007-06-18|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070610092312/http://feature.movies.jp.msn.com/interview/tokyo.htm|archive-date=2007-06-10|url-status=dead}}</ref>

== Career ==
Matsu starred in her stage debut ''[[Rakugo|Ninjō-banashi]]: Bunshichi Mottoi'' at [[Kabuki-za]]. Her first television role was in the [[NHK]] Drama ''[[Hana no Ran]]'' and starred in the NHK drama ''Kura''. Because Shirayuri Gakuen, her high school, prohibited working in the industry, she moved to [[Horikoshi High School]]. Matsu starred in the drama ''[[Long Vacation]]'' after matriculating to college. She had a supporting role, but established in full-scale her position, because the drama was a major hit. She hosted the 47th NHK ''[[Kōhaku Uta Gassen]]'' and debuted with the single "[[Ashita, Haru ga Kitara]]". She returned to the show as a singer on the last day of the year. In an interview with [[NHK]], Matsu recalled the incident with her musical debut. She sang karaoke which was heard by the director who suggested she gave a song. Although she declined it and was not confident enough with the song, she accepted because she saw it as "[a] chance that not everyone got".<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.sonymusic.co.jp/Music/Info/hiroyuki-itaya/|title= A Hiroyuki Itaya Film "DIRECTOR'S CUT"|access-date= 12 December 2024|website= SME Records|language=ja}}</ref>

In the same year, she starred in the drama ''[[Love Generation (television series)|Love Generation]]'' in a leading role. She starred in ''[[Hero (2001 TV series)|Hero]]''. She published a photo essay book, ''Matsu no Hitorigoto'', through [[Asahi Shimbun]] Publishers. She released "Toki no Fune" in September 2004, which was composed by [[Akeboshi]]. It is similar to the song, "[[A nine days' wonder]]", which was released after the "Toki no Fune" single. The single contained a cover of Akeboshi's "White Reply" previously recorded on her sixth album, ''Harvest Songs''.

Matsu won the Best Actress of the Year of the 29th [[Hochi Film Award]] and the 28th [[Japan Academy Prize (film)|Japan Academy Prize]] at the same time for ''[[The Hidden Blade]]''.<ref>{{Cite web|url= http://cinemahochi.yomiuri.co.jp/h_award/2004/|script-title= ja:報知映画賞ヒストリー|access-date= 2010-01-27|language= ja|publisher= Cinema Hochi|url-status= dead|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090131131048/http://cinemahochi.yomiuri.co.jp/h_award/2004/|archive-date= 2009-01-31}}</ref> In July 2006, she and [[Takuya Kimura]] starred in a special one-night edition of ''Hero''. In October 2006, Matsu and [[Makoto Fujita]] starred in a weekly drama ''Yakusha Damashii''.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.asahi.com/culture/tv_radio/NIK200610120002.html |title=Matsu Takako and Makoto Fujita in Comedy Drama Asahi Shimbun October 12, 2006 |access-date=October 18, 2006 |archive-date=September 29, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929134437/http://www.asahi.com/culture/tv_radio/NIK200610120002.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Matsu left the third concert tour in May 2007 to commemorate her tenth year as a singer. In her album ''Cherish You'', the song "Ashita Haru ga Kitara" was redone to combine her voice on her youth.

On November 27, 2014, Matsu revealed on her official website that she was pregnant with her first child. Her daughter was born on March 30, 2015, and weighed 3466 grams.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/9542255/|script-title=ja:松たか子の妊娠報告で父・幸四郎が"不仲の夫"と和解|publisher=[[Livedoor]] News|language=ja|date=December 5, 2014|access-date=December 5, 2014|archive-date=September 4, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240904040514/https://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/9542255/|url-status=live}}</ref> On February 9, 2020, Matsu was called to join [[Idina Menzel]], [[Aurora (singer)|Aurora]] and eight more of Elsa's international dubbers to perform the song "[[Into the Unknown (Disney song)|Into the Unknown]]" at the [[92nd Academy Awards]].
