Yuji Suzuki, known as Guts Ishimatsu or Ishimatsu Susuki, was a former boxing world champion from Kanumashi, Japan. After retiring from boxing, he gained popularity as an actor and comedian.

He often appeared as a foolish boke character on television, but it was an act he put on for media purposes. As a boxing commentator, he offered precise, intelligent commentary based on his own experiences in the ring.

His original ring name was Ishimatsu Suzuki, but was changed to Guts Ishimatsu, since he wanted himself to become a gutsy boxer. Earlier in his career, he had often given up in fights where he was losing.

He died on June 2, 2026, at the age of 76 due to pneumonia.
