Takahiro Suwa (諏訪 高広 Suwa Takahiro), better known by his ring name Suwa (stylized as SUWA), is a Japanese professional wrestler of Pro Wrestling Noah. He originally retired from professional wrestling in 2007, but later returned in 2013.
Suwa, one of Último Dragón's first trainees, made his professional debut on the first card of Dragon's Toryumon promotion on May 11, 1997. He went on to become one of the founding fathers of the Crazy MAX faction along with Cima, TARU, and Don Fujii, being portraited as a cocky and aggressive villain. Suwa won the Último Dragón Gym Championship, the promotion's top title, from Magnum Tokyo on February 8, 2004. He held it for two months before a shoulder injury suffered in a match with Dragon Kid forced him to vacate the belt. Later that same year, Suwa signed with Pro Wrestling Noah.
Soon after his arrival in Noah, on September 18, 2005, he challenged Kenta for the GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship. Suwa was originally disqualified for attacking Kenta with a foreign object, but the match was restarted, and Suwa eventually lost.
On December 10, 2006, Suwa teamed with TARU, Shuji Kondo and brother YASSHI during an eight-man-tag-team match to Akira Taue, Mushiking Terry, Atsushi Aoki and Taiji Ishimori. After his team lost the match, Suwa announced his intention to retire from wrestling. In his last match, on January 21, 2007, he teamed up with Yoshihiro Takayama and Minoru Suzuki, losing to Kenta, Naomichi Marufuji and Takeshi Rikio. During the match, Suwa turned on his partners. Suwa retired from professional wrestling on March 11, 2007.
