Shunichi Suzuki (鈴木 俊一, Suzuki Shun'ichi, 6 November 1910 – 14 May 2010) was a Japanese politician and bureaucrat who served as governor of Tokyo from 1979 to 1995.
Suzuki graduated from Tokyo Imperial University and worked in the Japanese Home Ministry from 1933 to 1947, and then in the Ministry of Home Affairs, where he worked on the development of the Local Autonomy Law, public election laws and other postwar governance rules. He served as Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary under Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi. Governor Ryotaro Azuma appointed Suzuki Vice Governor of Tokyo in 1959, and he served in this capacity until 1967, during which time he was instrumental in the planning of the 1964 Summer Olympics. Azuma declined to run for a third term in 1967, following which Suzuki served in several other roles, including as chairman of the OsakaExpo '70 planning committee.[1][2]
