Katsuhiko Suzuki (born in Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, Japan), better known in pop'n music under the name Nazo²Suzuki, was a major contributor to the early pop'n music games, serving as the music director of the series from [[AC pnm 3|pop'n music 3]] through [[AC pnm 7|pop'n music 7]]. Unlike most KONAMI BEMANI artists, Katsuhiko originally worked at KONAMI in the late 1980s/1990s, left to work at another video game company (Treasure, itself a company made of ex-KONAMI video game developers), and then returned ''back'' to KONAMI, where he worked on pop'n music and a few other titles. He was also a very large contributor to [[Sanae Shintani|Sana]]'s albums. Katsuhiko was also part of the staff of Konami Music Entertainment, Inc. from 1999 until 2003.
