Aikiho Suzuki is Puchi Bruce, Japan’s number 1 Bruce Willis impersonator. His name derives from the French word ‘Petite Bruce’, meaning a mini-version of Bruce Willis due to his diminutive stature compared to the real Bruce. The Japanese word for Petite is pronounced ‘Puchi’.
This 47 year old actor from Yokohama was a former Japanese salaryman who dreamed of acting while working for the Supermarket chain Daiei. During this time he worked as a TV/movie extra and participated in Mono-mane (impersonator) programs for Japanese TV station TBS where he became “Puchibruce”.
Hoping to meet the real Bruce Willis one day and knowing that with the release of DieHard4, the Hollywood star is likely to come to Japan as part of the film’s promotion, he banded together a bunch of fellow DieHard fans to make a series of ‘Tribute Movies’ – remakes of scenes he loved (in Japanese) from the original 3 DieHard movies.
