Club career

[edit]

Suzuki entered Kiryu Daiichi High School and played for the school football club.[4] In the 2011 season, the team advanced to the All Japan High School Soccer Tournament.[3][5]

After graduating high school in 2012, Suzuki signed a professional contract with Albirex Niigata. On 4 April 2012, Suzuki made his first team debut against Shimizu S-Pulse in the J. League Cup as a 46th-minute substitute.[6] He scored his first goal for the club in a 4–3 League Cup victory over Omiya Ardija.[2]

V-Varen Nagasaki signed Suzuki before the start of the 2018 J1 season.[7]

On 30 June 2022, Suzuki was announced at Gamba Osaka.[8]

On 25 December 2023, Suzuki was announced at Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo on loan.[9]

International career

[edit]

Born in Jamaica to a Jamaican father and raised in Japan by his Japanese mother, Suzuki is eligible to represent both Jamaica and Japan. In June 2011, Suzuki was called up to the Japan under-17 national team for the 2011 FIFA U-17 World Cup. He played in four matches.[10]

He participated in the 2016 AFC U23 Championship for Japan, eventually winning the tournament. In August 2016, he was also called up to the Japan under-23 side for the 2016 Summer Olympics. He played in two matches and scored a goal against Nigeria.[10]

He made his senior debut on 22 March 2019, starting in a friendly against Colombia[11]

Personal life

[edit]

Suzuki's mother, Mariko, is Japanese and his father, Robert Hamilton, is Jamaican. He was born in Jamaica but grew up in Ōta, Japan.[3] Growing up black in Japan, Suzuki said he was a victim of racial abuse, which went to the point that he "tried to whiten his skin with baby powder", which his mother said, "I like the color you are, Musashi."[4]
