Toshio Suzuki (Japanese: 鈴木 敏夫, Hepburn: Suzuki Toshio; born August 19, 1948) is a Japanese film producer and studio executive. He is a co-founder and the current chairman of Studio Ghibli, one of Japan's most prominent animation studios. Suzuki began his career at Tokuma Shoten, working as a magazine editor and covering manga and animation, before becoming editor of Animage, where he established professional relationships with Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata. He played a pivotal role in the creation of Studio Ghibli and the production of its early films, including Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, My Neighbor Totoro, and Grave of the Fireflies. Suzuki has served as producer or co-producer on numerous Ghibli films, including Kiki’s Delivery Service, Only Yesterday, Porco Rosso, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle, Earwig and the Witch, and The Boy and the Heron. He officially retired from his producer role in 2014, becoming general manager, but has remained involved in the studio's management and creative activities. In 2023, following the acquisition of Studio Ghibli by Nippon Television Holdings, Suzuki continued to play a role in the company's operations during the transition period.
