== Overview ==
Matsumoto proudly traced his family's history back thirteen hundred years to when they were samurai. His pride with his lineage made him hold the [[Draconis Combine]] and its soldiers in contempt. He considered the Combine warriors as "pseudo-samurai" because the Combine had usurped the true meaning of the samurai way of life. His feelings on this topic were so strong that he enrolled in the SLDF [[Gunslinger Program]] and went on to build an 11-0 record against the Combine duelists upon graduation.<ref name=FMSLDFp73/>
