Biography
Suzuki was born on March 7, 1920, in the village of Uttō (打当), near Ani. In his village, he was a shikari (しかり) or leader of hunting teams.
He was known for his adeptness with a single-shot Murata rifle, and many of the bears he killed died from one shot to the head. As a result, he was sometimes called Headshot Matsu (頭撃ちの松, atamauchi no Matsu).
In 1974, Suzuki traveled to the Himalaya Mountains as a member of the 2ⁿᵈ Himalayan Yeti Expedition Team (第二次ヒマラヤ雪男探検隊) led by Taniguchi Masahiko (谷口 正彦) of the Japanese Alpine Club.
In 1987, Suzuki provided instruction for Tamura Takahiro during production of the matagi film Itazu-Kuma.
