Professional majhong player
[edit]In addition to being a professional shogi player, Suzuki is also a professional mahjong player . He was awarded professional status by the Japan Professional Mahjong League (JPML) in May 2023; thus becoming the first shogi professional to receive such recognition.[1] Suzuki became interested in mahjong as a hobby while he was an apprentice shogi professional, and participated in a number of tournaments over the years as an amateur.[2] In December 2019, he won the "Celebrity" class (著名人枠, Chomeijin Waku) of the 2019 Mahjong Strongest Player Tournament —one of the largest open majhong tournaments in Japan—to advance to the tournament's final round. In the finals, he defeated a number of professionals to become the overall winner.[3] In 2020, he finished atop of the individual standings for the New Year's All Star Mahjong Tournament (新春オールスター麻雀, Shin'nen Ōru Sutā Mājan), and in 2022, he advance to the finals of the 2022 Mahjong Strongest player tournament (this time after winning the "Former Men's Pro Champion" class (男子プロ王者の帰還枠, Danshi Puro Ōja no Kikan Waku)), but finished second to professional mahjong player Naoki Setokuma . It marked the fourth consecutive year that Suzuki had acvanced to the tournament's finals.
Suzuki was awarded the rank of 5-dan by the JPML in June 2023,[4] and is competing as a member of Team Beast Japanext in Japanese professional mahjong's 2023–2024 M.League .[5] He is also competing in Class B2 of the 40th Hō-Ō League .[4]
