Fuku Suzuki: Balancing Acting Career and College Life with a Grown-Up Side
A great success with high demand
A child actor who made his debut at the age of one has quickly risen to become a popular actor representing Generation Z–.
The name of Fuku Suzuki (20), who made his debut on the children’s program “Inai Inai Baa!” (NHK), became widely known through the 2011 drama “Marumo’s Story” (Fuji TV). At that time, he starred alongside the child actress Mana Ashida (20), who was acclaimed as a genius, playing twins, and the show achieved a peak rating of 23.9%.
The theme song they performed, “Maru Maru Mori Mori!”, became a big hit, and the duo also appeared in that year’s “NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen.” As the “Marumori duo,” they became a sensation.
In January of this year, Suzuki celebrated his coming-of-age ceremony and officially joined the ranks of adulthood. On January 14th, he posted on his Instagram, “I attended the ‘Coming-of-Age Gathering’! Thank you so much to everyone who I’ve met and supported me so far!” expressing his joy.
“Although Suzuki is strongly associated with the child actor image, he has been steadily building his career, appearing in the ‘Kamen Rider’ series, particularly ‘Kamen Rider Geats’ (2022-2023, TV Asahi), which he openly supports, and hosting the Thursday segment of the morning information program ‘ZIP!’ (NTV).
Last year, at the age of 20, he even revealed a more adult side of himself on the variety show ‘Talk Queens’ (Fuji TV), where he openly discussed romance, saying, ‘The only person I can say I truly dated is one,'” (Entertainment writer).
