Eito Suzuki

[2] Eito Suzuki was born in Shiga Prefecture, Kansai,[3] and later moved to Tokyo to attend Nihon University College of Economics.

[3] Around 2002, Suzuki became aware of suspicious missionary activities conducted by the Unification Church (UC), where their true identity and intentions were not disclosed to their targets.

[2] Seeking to address cult-related issues more comprehensively, he subsequently reached out to members of the National Network of Lawyers Against Spiritual Sales (Zenkoku Benren) and the Japan Society for Cult Prevention and Recovery [ja].

[2][8] Since the assassination of the former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on 8 July 2022, Suzuki has been making regular appearances as a guest commentator on various featured news programs across different broadcasting stations.

[11] On the other hand, Suzuki holds a pessimistic view regarding the Unification Church's ability to regulate itself against alleged controversial activities and believes that accountability by third-party monitors is necessary.

[16][17] In September 2023, he received the First Prize at the 66th Japan Congress of Journalists [ja] Awards for his authorship of the "Contamination of the Liberal Democratic Party" series.
