Fuku Suzuki (鈴木 福 Suzuki Fuku?, born 17 June 2004) is a Japanese child actor, singer and tarento from Tokyo. As a member of the talent agency Theatre Academy, he made his first appearance in 2006 on the NHK children's programme Inai Inai Ba! before earning a major role in Marumo no Okite and more recently the lead role in the television drama and film Kodomo Keisatsu. Suzuki has also featured as a tarento on several variety and quiz shows, most notably Waratte Iitomo! where he is a "holiday regular". His younger sister, Yume Suzuki, is also a child actress.
As a singer, Suzuki is most famous for his 2011 collaboration with child actress Mana Ashida under the name "Kaoru to Tomoki, Tamani Mook". The duo released the hit single "Maru Maru Mori Mori!" which earned them a place on the prestigious music show Kōhaku Uta Gassen and the Special Award at the 53rd Japan Record Awards.
Suzuki made his first television appearance in 2006 as a toddler on the NHK preschool children's programme Inai Inai Ba! before making minor appearances (largely as children during flashbacks of protagonists) on works such as: the 2009 police procedural "Keikan no Chi" (as Tamio) and the 2010 asadora "GeGeGe no Nyōbō" (as Takashi). He gained a more prominent role playing Tomoya Yusa, the protagonist's son, in the 2010 film "A Boy and His Samurai".
