Keiji Suzuki (鈴木桂治, Suzuki Keiji?, born on June 3, 1980 in Jōsō, Ibaraki, Japan) is a Japanese judoka.
He won the Olympic gold medal in the heavyweight (+100 kg) division in the 2004. He is also a two-time world champion.
He is noted for being a remarkably small judoka in the heavyweight division; he also regularly competes in the light-heavyweight (-100 kg) class.
Suzuki was eliminated in the first round of the 2010 world Judo championship in Yoyogi, Japan via ippon by Janusz Wojnarowicz of Poland.[1]
