Matsuhiro is a samurai and owner of the Green Dragon Sushi restaurant.
Physical appearance
Matsuhiro is a middle-aged Japanese male with white hair. When he does his chef job at Green Dragon Sushi, he wears a blue chef's coat, a white apron, and a blue head band with orange fish to hold back his hair. When he trains Shaggy and Scooby to become samurai, he wears a kasa, and a robe with a katana strapped to his side.
Personality
Matsuhiro has a very practical no-nonsense attitude, but is also very encouraging as shown both when he trains Shaggy and Scooby in becoming Samurai and when he encourages them both to empty their minds when fighting the Black Samurai.
History
Scooby-Doo! and the Samurai Sword
He first meets Shaggy Rogers and Scooby-Doo when they take shelter in his restaurant while they are fleeing from Miss Mirimoto's ninja robots. When he asks if they want sushi and cuts the head off of a fish, Shaggy and Scooby recoil in disgust. He then asks them if they would like a pair of miso soups, which they accept and take an immediate liking to after swallowing them. He introduces himself to them by name and gives them a menu, which has a logo of the Green Dragon on it that Shaggy and Scooby recognize aloud. Matsuhiro asks in slight surprise if Shaggy and Scooby are familiar with the legend of the Black Samurai, which they confirm. Matsuhiro then tells them that new exciting, and unpredictible chapters get written about legends all the time, which, according to him, is what he likes most about them. Suddenly, the ninja robots break into the restaurant and advance on a terrified Shaggy and Scooby, the former of whom holds the Sword of Doom, still in its sheath, in a defensive posture. Surprised that they got their hands on the Sword of Doom, Matsuhiro starts to ask Shaggy and Scooby how they got it, but Shaggy frantically tells him that they've got a "serious case of the robot ninjas". Matsuhiro grabs his own katana from a shelf behind his counter, and, much to Shaggy and Scooby's surprise, starts slicing up and impaling the ninja robots one by one. However, as Shaggy and Scooby dive for cover behind the counter, the ninja robots still manage to steal the sword of doom back from them. As the last of the ninja robots flee, Shaggy expresses his surprise for how skilled with the katana Matsuhiro is for a sushi chef. He informs them that this is because he is a samurai himself.
