Matsumoto Eiichi was a Japanese film director born in Mukojima Susaki-cho, Honjo-ku, Tokyo. He played an active part in the era of silent movies.

Matsumoto graduated from Kogyokusha Junior High School around 1912 and worked at the Railway Institute Ueno Station. After that, he entered Waseda University, but he was devoted to theater and participated in Ueyama Sojin's "Modern Theater Association", which made his parents disown him.

After 10 years of struggling, he joined Teikoku Kinema Eijutsu, a movie and theater company, and wrote a script for a new school drama. He directed 85 films, including nine Ashiya films, and left Teikoku Kinema in October 1927.

At the end of 1927, he joined "Kawai Production Machiya Photo Studio" established by Kawai Tokusaburo in Tokyo, and the company's first work "Youth Walk" was released in 1928. After shooting 18 movies, he left the company in April 1931.

He died at the age of 50 on August 13, 1945, just two days before the end of World War II. Edit Biography
