Suzuki Keita was born on May 14, 1982 in Kawasaki, Kanagawa, Japan.

While attending Kanagawa Prefecture Sumiyoshi High School, Suzuki, Sawayaka Goro (whose real name is Okami Tokihide), and six other members from the soccer club formed a comedy group named "Okami Gundan" whenever there was a school festival.[1] In their third year, the rest of their classmates left the group one by one with only Sawayaka and Suzuki remaining.[2]

Sawayaka and Suzuki are both individually receiving medical treatment in their homes under the direction of the health center.[5] They both resumed activities on February 5, 2021 after returning to good health.[6]
