Papaya Suzuki (Japanese:パパイヤ鈴木, Papaiya Suzuki, born 29 July 1966) is a Japanese celebrity most famous for his dancing and for his afro hairstyle. His real name is Hiroshi Suzuki (鈴木 寛, Suzuki Hiroshi). He originates from the city of Higashikurume in Tokyo.
He originally intended to be a singer, but gave up due to a drastic gain in weight. According to his official web site, he is 178cm tall, and weighs 108kg. He is now a choreographer and dancer, and he is a member of the dancing group Oyaji dancers, where oyaji is a faintly derogatory Japanese word literally meaning "dad" but also used for middle-aged men in general.
He also works as an actor, a lyricist, and a songwriter, as well as arranging and producing music.
Suzuki made a brief appearance as a dancer in the video for the song O! O! Xsta Si ( Boom Boom Love ) by the J-pop group Deeps.
