Biography[]

Suzuki graduated from Seinan Gakuin High School and Aoyama Gakuin University Faculty of Business Department of Management. He joined athletics when he was in high school, and had experience running short distance races at the national Inter-High School Championships.

Suzuki greatly admired the actor Toshiyuki Nishida, and even took a leave from the university to enter the Seinenza acting school, the troupe Nishida belonged to. He later officially joined Seinenza Theater Company in 1997. He later left in 2004 after Nishida left the company. Suzuki continued by acting in television dramas.

In 2007 he played Yuji Fukunaga in Liar Game and gained popularity due to his lines. Suzuki's character in the series is also known for his mushroom hair, black eyeglasses, loud speech, abuse of others, and the intensity of his character. Suzuki commented that the character was tiring. Perhaps because of the popularity of that character, he later performed a similar role in Flight Panic.

In his private life Suzuki dated Keiji 7-ri co-star Chihiro Otsuka in July 2015 and they later married on 7 October.^[2]^[3]
