His portrayal of "Man of La Mancha" was hugely successful and performed for the 1,100th time in 2008, setting the national record for the most performances by the same actor starring one work.

His other stage roles include Motl in "Fiddler on the Roof", the title role in "Sweeney Todd", Salieri in "Amadeus", Kitagawa Utamaro in the musical "Utamaro", and Zeami Motokiyo in Musical "Zeami".

He has starred with his daughter Matsu Takako on multiple occasions - Hana no Ran (1994), April Story (1998), and HERO (2007). He was awarded the Medal with Purple Ribbon in 2005, and Person of Cultural Merit in 2012 by the Japanese government.

In January 2018, Matsumoto Koshiro IX bestowed his title to his son Ichikawa Somegoro VII, upon taking the title Matsumoto Hakuo II which his father Matsumoto Koshiro VIII took after his retirement.
