Nobuyuki Suzuki

Nobuyuki Suzuki (鈴木伸之, born 14 October 1992) is a Japanese actor renowned for his dynamic presence in both television dramas and feature films. Born in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, he was the youngest of three brothers and initially pursued a path in baseball, playing from first grade through junior high before an elbow injury forced him to abandon his athletic dreams. In February 2010 he entered the entertainment industry by auditioning for LDH’s VOCAL BATTLE AUDITION 2, and although he did not succeed, his determination caught the eye of scouts and led him to study at EXPG Tokyo School. By August of the same year he had passed the third Gekidan EXILE audition, officially launching his acting career and joining the prestigious theater company of EXILE. His first leading film role arrived in 2013 with ARAGURE, establishing him as a promising talent capable of carrying complex characters. Suzuki gained widespread popularity by portraying charismatic antagonists in series such as Roosevelt Game, Water Polo Yankees, Wolf Girl and Black Prince, and I Love You Just a Little Bit, where his blend of charm and intensity resonated strongly with audiences. In 2016 he was cast as Kotaro Amon in the live‑action adaptation of the hit manga Tokyo Ghoul, further cementing his status as a versatile performer capable of navigating diverse genres. Beyond acting, Suzuki has demonstrated a playful competitive spirit, co‑holding Guinness World Records for “Most marshmallows caught with chopsticks in one minute (team of two)” and “Most marshmallows caught by mouth in one minute,” achievements that highlight his willingness to engage fans in unconventional ways. His extracurricular pursuits also include singing, as showcased during a 2019 Prince of Legend fan‑meeting where he performed A‑ha’s classic “Take On Me,” and fashion, with a 2019 collaboration with PEACH JOHN on a unisex loungewear line. Dedicated to expanding his horizons, Suzuki has spent several years intensively studying English, aiming to break into Hollywood after turning thirty, a goal reflected in his 2020 photo‑book OVERSEAS filmed in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Represented by LDH, he continues to contribute to stage productions, television, and film, while maintaining an active presence on social media and in public events, exemplifying the modern multi‑talented Japanese star.
