Kiyonaga Matsumoto (松本 清長 Matsumoto Kiyonaga), known as Kiyonaga McLaughlin in the Funimation dub, is a character in the manga and anime franchise Detective Conan.
Background
Matsumoto is the chief of the Tokyo police, and Juzo Megure's superior, often giving him specific instructions on very dangerous cases. Sometimes, Megure puts his plan through to Matsumoto first, and then sees what he has to say about it. He got the scar over his left eye from his chasing a serial killer fifteen years ago, a case that remained unsolved until Conan helps unravel it and enables the killer's arrest.[1] He was married, but his wife died at some point in the past.
Matsumoto first appears during the wedding of his only daughter, Sayuri Matsumoto (Catherine McLaughlin), who used to be Shinichi’s, Ran’s, and Sonoko’s music teacher in middle school, all three of them having been also invited to the wedding (though Shinichi had to attend as Conan, obviously). When his daughter falls victim to a poisoning attack, a sad case is revelaed in which the groom attempted to avenge his mother's death by Matsumoto's negligience. But unexpectedly, the case does take several good turns in the end, and Matsumoto ends up with the victim of his past mistake as his son-in-law.[2]
Personality
Although Chief Matsumoto looks to be a stern, harsh, brute man, he can be a very kind and gentle person, only getting very angry when a loved one, like his own daughter on her wedding, is put in danger. However, his demeanor changes to complete seriousness while at work.
