Biography

Due to the influence of his mother, who is a fan of SMAP, he developed an admiration for Takuya Kimura. A friend of Suezawa's mother sent his resume to Johnny & Associates, predecessor of Starto Entertainment. After passing the audition, he joined the agency on April 3, 2009. He then began his activities with the name 'Kansai's Johnny's Jr.'
After entering university, he didn't have much stage opportunity for 2 years. There was a period when he could only work a few times a year as backup dancers at dome shows or other evets that were understaffed. At that time, while practicing daily with a dance club, he decided to quit Kansai's Johnny's Jr. at the end of 2014 to find a job in the fashion industry, which he told his family.
In December that year, his manager encouraged him to take one last dance lesson with the performer Yara Tomoyuki and auditioned to be a backup dancer for Yuma Nakayama's 'Chapter1 歌おうぜ!踊ろうぜ!YOLOぜ!TOUR 2015.' Upon hearing the news that he has passed the audition, he told his parents he would keep trying his best.
On February 18, 2019, he was selected to be a member of Ae! Group. In December, he performed his first solo lead role in the reading theater production "Kiosk".
On May 15, 2024, he released his CD debut as a member of Ae! group. Marking his 15th year affiliation with Starto Entertainment, and making him the oldest member in the agency's history to debut at the age of 29 years and 8 months.
Within the group, he serves as the main vocalist and is also in charge of designing stage costumes. He is the oldest member, being seven years older than the youngest, Masaya Sano. Because he rarely interacted with younger Kansai Juniors, he was nicknamed "the Mad Dog of Kansai.

Personal life

He began dancing since first grade of elementary school after attending a trial lesson. Because his hip-hop dance teacher also taught tap dance, he started learning tap in the second grade. During his university years, he performed contemporary dance in a student club, which was praised by Tomoyuki Yara; he later showcased this style in Yuma Nakayama's song "Mai, Koi". Although often referred to as one of his special skills, he has said, "People call it a special skill, but I only put it in my profile because there's nothing else to write."
His motto is a quote by Walt Disney's "If you have the courage to pursue your dreams, they can come true''."''
During high school, when he was struggling with interpersonal relationships and considering transferring schools, a teacher he consulted encouraged him to run for student council president, the role which he eventually served.
He has a brother three years older than him.
On February 18, 2025, he opened his official Instagram account.
