　　Matsumoto was born in the city of Kokura, now Kokura Kita ward, Kitakyushu, Fukuoka prefecture.

Matsumoto wrote historical novels and nonfiction in addition to mystery/detective fiction. He collaborated with film director Yoshitaro Nomura on adaptations of eight of his novels to film, including Castle of Sand, which is considered to be one of the masterpieces of Japanese cinema.
