The ~Matsus:

The trouble-making main characters of the series. Their family name is Matsuno (松野) and their parents are Matsuzō and Matsuyo. They are 10 years old and in the 5th grade. Their birthday is May 24. The six of them get along well, particularly Osomatsu and Choromatsu, but there are many occasions where Osomatsu and Choromatsu (or just Osomatsu) will get in a fight with the rest. In the 1988 anime and halfway through the original manga, their spotlight is stolen by Iyami and Chibita and they are essentially demoted to supporting characters.

Osomatsu (おそ松)
The oldest and leader of the sextuplets, as well as the best fighter in the group. In the 1993 one-shot story "Osomatsu-kun Grows Up", he has become a typical salaryman and is unmarried. His name comes from osomatsu (お粗末), which means lame or ill-prepared in Japanese.
In Osomatsu-san, he is a brash and bullheaded elder brother and self-proclaimed leader of the brothers.
Karamatsu (カラ松)
The second oldest. He is neat and tidy and yet fickle. In "Osomatsu-kun Grows Up" he has married a green grocer's daughter. His name comes from karamatsu (唐松?), the Japanese word for larch.
In Osomatsu-san, he acts cool and intimidating just to pick up women but he fails at it.
Choromatsu (チョロ松)
The third oldest. He is the clever one of the group but also very selfish. He and Osomatsu usually cause mischief together. In "Osomatsu-kun Grows Up" he has become a police officer.
In Osomatsu-san, he is an idol otaku who has become the straight man to his brothers, often reacting to many of the crazy situations the brothers are involved with.
Ichimatsu (一松)
He is referred to as Ichi (one) but is the fourth son. He is very honest and very strong. In "Osomatsu-kun Grows Up" he has become a company president after marrying his predecessor's daughter. His name comes from Ichimatsumoyō (市松模様), the Japanese word for check pattern.
In Osomatsu-san, he is the pessimist of the group and tends to overreact the most when it comes to being teased. He also has an affinity for cats.
Juushimatsu (十四松)
The fifth son. He is very kind, but that is also his biggest weakness. In "Osomatsu-kun Grows Up" he has become a doctor. His name comes from jūshimatsu (十姉妹), the Japanese word for society finch.
In Osomatsu-san, he is the goofball of the brothers to the point of being crazy and tends to be very athletic.
Todomatsu (トド松)
The sixth and youngest son. He is very carefree and dislikes baths. His catchphrase is Todo no tsumari (とどのつまり ...in the end). In "Osomatsu-kun Grows Up" he runs a fish market. His name comes from todomatsu (椴松), another name for the momi fir of Japan.
In Osomatsu-san, he is effeminate and is far more successful with women than Karamatsu.

I'm not sure what a matsu is OP but usually saying "Oh, so" in front of a word means "very" HTH

If you had said "Ah, so" that would be an outdated racist term for the Yellow Orientals I mean Asians
