The little boy, son of Stranger Things actor Charlie Heaton and Akiko Matsuura—Charlie Heaton’s former partner—is the adorable child of two creative souls. His mom, Akiko Matsuura, is a talented musician, while his dad, Charlie Heaton, rose to fame through his acting career. Though Charlie Heaton and Akiko are no longer together, they share this sweet child who carries a rich cultural background. Before they became known in their respective fields, both parents were actually part of a band called Comanechi when they first met—a fun fact that adds a musical note to the family story. Growing up, young Charlie Heaton’s son was introduced to sports early on, especially soccer, which he played as a boy. On his mother’s side, he has Japanese heritage, making him half Japanese—a detail that adds to his unique identity. As he grows, the bond with both parents, including Charlie Heaton, remains meaningful despite their separation.
He mostly lived with his mom in England, growing up in a pretty quiet environment compared to what was happening with his dad. His father, of course, is the one who really shot into the spotlight in 2022—thanks to the release of the fourth season of Stranger Things. That’s when everything changed for him and his family. He remembers that time clearly, how life started feeling different, even from afar. His father’s sudden fame brought a lot of attention, something he wasn’t used to, especially being so close to his mother and having such a grounded upbringing. Still, he stayed connected to his roots, balancing the normalcy of life in England with the growing buzz around his father’s success. It wasn’t always easy, but he managed to stay true to himself throughout it all.
