Japanese film/stage actor Ryohei Suzuki began acting at 18 in a small student theatre while he majored in English at the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies. He started his career as a fashion model but debuted as a professional actor right after graduating. Ryohei played his first leading role in the feature film ''Swing Me Again (2009), " but became more famous as a supporting actor in his 20s. His big breakthrough came in 2013. NHK offered him a leading role in the TV series "Hanako to An," which eventually gained a rating of as high as 24%. Ryohei's performance as a caring husband of the heroine was loved by the nation. In 2018, he was cast as the lead Takamori Saigo in NHK's series "Segodon (2018)", making him one of the most acclaimed and most known actors in his age Japan.

He won five Best Supporting Actor awards, including Academy Awards Japan, for his terrifying performance as a sadistic murderer yakuza in the film "Koro no chi: Level 2 (2022)". He also won the Best Actor in the Asian Contents Awards 2022 in Korea for his performance as a paramedic in TBS's popular series "Tokyo MER (2022)".

In 2023, Ryohei starred in "Egoist (2023)", a feature indie film about a gay couple, which has become a long-run hit in Japan and brought him the nomination for Best Actor at Asian Film Awards in Hong Kong. In 2023, Ryohei was selected as "the best Japanese actor in their 30s" in a web survey held among the Japanese audience.

For 2024, Netflix has announced that Ryohei will play the title role of Netflix's original movie "City Hunter (2024)", a live-action of a legendary manga from the 1980s.

Ryohei is also famous as a voice actor for playing Buzz Lightyear in the Japanese dubbed version of Disney's "Lightyear (2022)".

He is known for his thorough dedication to his roles. In "The Emperor's Cook (2015)" he lost 44 pounds in six months to play a dying man. And right after it was over, he gained 66 pounds in 40 days for his sturdy, rugged high-school student role in the comedy feature "Ore Monogatari (2015)". After returning to his regular physique, he gained his weight again, up to 220 pounds in "Segodon (2018)," to embody the actual historical person.

Ryohei is fluent in English. He went to a high school in Oklahoma from 1998 to 1999.
