Suzuki made his first television appearance in 2006 as a toddler on the NHK preschool children's programme Inai Inai Baa! before making minor appearances (largely as children during flashbacks of protagonists) on works such as: the 2009 police procedural "Keikan no Chi" (as Tamio) and the 2010 asadora "GeGeGe no Nyōbō" (as Takashi). He gained a more prominent role playing Tomoya Yusa, the protagonist's son, in the 2010 film "A Boy and His Samurai".{{cite web|url=http://www.vip-times.co.jp/pick-up-talent/181-2010-09-02-05-38-42.html|script-title=ja:いま注目のキッズ・タレントをピックアップ!!|trans-title=Catching up with the child tarentos gaining attention|publisher=vip-times|accessdate=August 17, 2013|language=Japanese|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110810192934/http://www.vip-times.co.jp/pick-up-talent/181-2010-09-02-05-38-42.html|archivedate=August 10, 2011}}{{cite web|url=http://www.cinematoday.jp/page/N0022205|script-title=ja:錦戸亮がちょんまげ姿で癒やし系サムライに？映画初主演作『ちょんまげぷりん』製作決定！|trans-title=Ryo Nishikido appears as a healing-samurai type with a top knot?

By 2011, Suzuki was playing a major role as Tomoki Sasakura in the Fuji TV television drama series Marumo no Okite. Despite a poor ratings share of 11.6% for the initial episode, the final episode gained an average audience share of 23.9%. The final audience share made the episode one of the most watched drama episodes of the year, second in the first seven months only to Jin. Sports Nippon claimed that poor expectations for the programme due to the young cast as the reason for the initial low figures, though it concluded that ultimately the popularity of Suzuki and his co-star Mana Ashida were responsible for the show's success, especially after the theme song, performed by Ashida and Suzuki, reached number 3 on the Oricon weekly singles chart.{{cite web|url=http://www.sponichi.co.jp/entertainment/news/2011/07/05/kiji/K20110705001146540.html|script-title=ja:大好評「マルモのおきて」特別編制作が決定！|trans-title=Fantastic reception "Marumo no Okite Special confirmed"|publisher=Sports Nippon|date=July 5, 2011|accessdate=September 9, 2013|language=Japanese}}{{cite web|url=http://www.sponichi.co.jp/entertainment/news/2011/07/04/kiji/K20110704001143720.html?feature=related|script-title=ja:最後に大台突破！「マルモのおきて」７ポイント近くアップ！|trans-title=A big hurdle crossed at the end - Marumo no Okite up almost 7 percentage points|publisher=Sports Nippon|date=July 4, 2011|accessdate=September 9, 2013|language=Japanese}} The popularity of the pairing led to a two-hour special, hosted by the pair, to be broadcast directly after the final episode. Oricon, however, stressed that the pairing was not the sole reason for the show's success, noting that the well-crafted screenplay was also pivotal. The success of the series led to a special being broadcast on October 9, 2011, which achieved an audience share of 16.7%.{{cite web|url=http://www.sponichi.co.jp/entertainment/news/2011/10/11/kiji/K20111011001800110.html|script-title=ja:やっぱり強い愛菜ちゃん「マルモのおきて」スペシャルは16・7％|trans-title=Mana, strong as expected.

In 2011, Suzuki played the supernatural being Bero in Nippon Television's television drama adaptation of Yōkai Ningen Bem, a role for which he earned the Supporting Actor Award at the 15th Nikkan Sports⋅Drama Grand Prix. Suzuki was not only the youngest recipient of the award but also the first child actor to be awarded at the Nikkan Sports⋅Drama Grand Prix. Asahi Shimbun notes that Suzuki's success in the role was due to his efforts in basing his portrayal of Bero around the animated version of the film and his ability to convey affection whilst portraying the supernatural being.{{cite web|url=http://www.asahi.com/showbiz/nikkan/NIK201205030011.html|script-title=ja:助演男優賞は鈴木福／日刊ドラマＧＰ|trans-title=Supporting Actor Award goes to Fuku Suzuki (Nikkan Drama GP)|publisher=Asahi Shimbun|date=May 2, 2012|accessdate=August 23, 2013|language=Japanese}}

In March 2012, Suzuki featured as a guest voice actor on the animated Doraemon film "Doraemon: Nobita and the Island of Miracles—Animal Adventure". Suzuki provided the voice for "Fūku", a seven-year-old boy who enjoyed going about his life at his own pace and was based on Suzuki himself. Suzuki described being cast in the role, which made him the youngest voice actor of Doraemon's thirty-two films, as a "pleasing yet unexpected surprise".{{cite web|url=http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/movie/2005443/full/|script-title=ja:鈴木福、史上最年少で映画『ドラえもん』にゲスト出演＆応援隊長に就任「がんばります！！」|trans-title=Fuku Suzuki becomes the youngest voice actor for Doraemon.

The siblings appear once a month on the section in a hosting role as so-called "Navigators" and is the first programme where the siblings appear together as regulars.{{cite web|url=http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/entertainment/2010545/full/|script-title=ja:鈴木福くん＆夢ちゃん、『ドラえもん』の新ミニコーナーで兄妹初レギュラー|trans-title=Suzuki Fuku and Yume.

Together with his childhood friend Kanon Tani, Suzuki became the presenter of the children's television show "be Ponkikkīzu" which was first broadcast on the satellite channel "BS Fuji TV" in April 2012. The selection was seen as an experiment given the fact that show had traditionally been presented by established adult acts such as Bakushō Mondai. As a consequence, the pair became the first child presenters of a "Ponkikkīzu" show in its thirty-nine year history. After the announcement that he had been appointed as co-host, Suzuki commented that he was "looking forward to joining forces with his childhood friend and would try his best".{{cite web|url=http://mantan-web.jp/2012/03/13/20120313dog00m200035000c.html|script-title=ja:鈴木福 ： 谷花音と"ラブラブ"タッグ ポンキッキーズ初の子どもメーンキャストに|trans-title=Fuku Suzuki a love-love tag team with Kanon Tani.

Also in April 2012, Suzuki began playing the lead role in the late-night TBS Drama, Kodomo Keisatsu (literally "Child Police"), where he portrayed Shigeru Ōnuma, a fifty-year-old police chief who, along with the rest of his police force, had been transformed back into a child. Despite criticism regarding the use of child actors for a late night programme, the success of the series led to the release of a film of the same name in March 2013.{{cite web|url=http://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/6463857/|script-title=ja:鈴木福ら子役が勢揃い！ 『コドモ警察』に放送前からクレームが殺到！|trans-title=A large collection of child actors including Fuku Suzuki!

Suzuki was a regular member of the variety show, Waratte Iitomo, where he became a "holiday regular" in April 2012.

Following Suzuki's success with Maru Maru Mori Mori!, he released his first single as a solo artist entitled {{nihongo|"Iya, Iya YO~"|イヤイヤYO〜!!}} in December 2012 under the Universal Music Japan label.{{cite web|url=http://www.oricon.co.jp/prof/artist/512588/products/music/994450/1/|title=イヤイヤＹＯ～！！|trans-title=Iya, Iya YO~|publisher=Oricon|accessdate=August 18, 2013}} Suzuki promoted the song in front of three hundred fans at an event space in Shinjuku during the week of the song's release.{{cite web|url=http://www.musicman-net.com/artist/22365.html|title=鈴木 福、デビューシングル発売記念イベント大盛況|trans-title=Fuku Suzuki, debut single commemorative event - a great success|publisher=Music Man|date=December 6, 2012|accessdate=August 18, 2013}} Despite his performance being described as "ten times better than expected" by the song's writer Miruno Komorita, the song was less successful than his collaboration with Ashida, peaking at number 32 on the Oricon weekly chart.{{cite web|url=http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/music/2018039/full/|title=鈴木福がついにソロデビュー「コンサートやりたい」|trans-title=Fuku Suzuki, now making a solo debut - "I want to do a concert"|publisher=Oricon|date=October 24, 2012|accessdate=September 9, 2013}}

In 2013, Fuku collaborated with "be Ponkikkīzu" co-presenter Kanon Tani forming the group "Fuku to Kanon". In February 2013 the single {{nihongo|"Neko Nyan-nyan-nyan Inu Wan-wan-wan Kaeru mo Ahiru mo Gā-gā-gā"|ネコニャンニャンニャン イヌワンワンワン カエルもアヒルもガーガーガー}} was released in two versions entitled East and West which peaked at 111 and 153 on the Oricon weekly chart respectively. The two versions differ in the fact that in the East version, Suzuki begins the song in the standard Japanese language (largely spoken in Tokyo or "East" Japan) whereas in the West version Kanon begins the song in the Western Kansai dialect.{{cite web|url=http://www.music-lounge.jp/v2/articl/news/detail/?articl=2013/02/12-11:48:00_45d45bf3e412986e87c4781d7495bd6b|script-title=ja:大人気の子役、鈴木福と谷花音によるユニット 福と花音 デビューシングル発売記念イベント大成功！|trans-title=Very popular child actor and actress, Fuku Suzuki and Kanon Tani, form a unit as "Fuku to Kanon".

In September 2014, a new version of "Maru Maru Mori Mori!" (entitled "Maru Maru Mori Mori! 2014") was confirmed and will tie in with a special broadcast of "Marumo no Okite". The single is expected to be released on 24 September 2014.{{cite web|url=http://www.cdjournal.com/main/news/ashida-mana/61329|script-title=ja:『マルモのおきてスペシャル 2014』放送決定、2014年版のマルモリ！映像が公開|trans-title="Marumo no Okite 2014 Special" Confirmed.

Suzuki is the eldest of four siblings. He has a sister, child actress Yume Suzuki (born 2006), a brother, child actor Tano Suzuki (born 2013), and another sister, Homa Suzuki (born 2015).{{cite web|url=http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20130719-00000045-dal-ent|script-title=ja:福くん＆夢ちゃんに弟誕生していた！早くも"兄バカ"ぶり発揮|trans-title=Fuku and Yume have a younger brother!

Suzuki describes his specialist skill as his ability to play the koto and claims that his hobby is watching films; in particular he enjoys action films noting that he himself wants to be an actor famous for his roles in such films.{{cite web|url=http://www.laris.co.jp/topics_voice_11.html|title=Interview with Exhibitors|publisher=Laris|accessdate=August 17, 2013|language=Japanese}}{{cite web|url=http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/confidence/2015510/full/|script-title=ja:鈴木福、将来の夢は「アクション俳優」|trans-title=Fuku Suzuki, his future dream is to become a famous "action actor"|publisher=Oricon|date=August 11, 2012|accessdate=August 18, 2013|language=Japanese}} This interest in action films can also be seen in his enthusiasm for Kamen Rider; Suzuki is said to enjoy acting out scenes from the science fiction manga in his spare time. Suzuki has shown interest in ghosts (yōkai) and films which contain them, explaining that at the age of four he was renting films such as the animated version of "GeGeGe no Kitarō". His interest in the supernatural is said to be a reason for his success in the role of "Bero" in Yōkai Ningen Bem. He also expressed his love of the animation Doraemon following his voice acting and presenting role on one of the show's mini-sections.

Suzuki has suffered from hay fever since the age of three and has the motor speech disorder dysarthria.{{cite web|url=http://wrs.search.yahoo.co.jp/FOR=t.fiWlhV3igUcqbixvsZAhm0ZWW8PoUCxpNgfONAnfXCMwSbJJb5Q_wa.AnfqeBOQg9Xz0jO97qISYVzHLC73L27qlIbRB3fRjvjnrRDQV68bp6MvVTU9eHPH47SM4DLkik7.7ucAhL1tbo7T746Z3SmeVDe_.9yUYNIY2x.T6cdzC2Uvonsb4ZMg65k86RDKeb.AbkJ8XtjG323CwCM5wgwWQFg.lofqRgsTznW12eWqNHBuW6HyRBEKeYyYkmuXsrlmOse/_ylt=A8vY5nlMMUxS5AkAKmODTwx.;_ylu=X3oDMTEyNzV1aGY1BHBvcwMyBHNlYwNzcgRzbGsDdGl0bGUEdnRpZANqcDAwMDY-/SIG=12uujs265/EXP=1380825868/**http%3A//datazoo.jp/w/%25E8%258A%25B1%25E7%25B2%2589%25E7%2597%2587/10225266|script-title=ja:花粉症|publisher=TVでた蔵|date=April 6, 2012|accessdate=August 17, 2013|language=Japanese}}{{cite web|url=http://kakaku.com/tv/channel=10/programID=35143/episodeID=593805/|script-title=ja:花粉症|publisher=価格.comテレビ紹介情報|date=April 6, 2012|accessdate=September 30, 2012|language=Japanese}}
