Dr. Kosaku Suzuki[1] (コウサク・スズキ Kōsaku Suzuki) is a minor character in the 2023 Monsterverse television series Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. While living as a middle-aged scientist in Japan in the 1950s, he invented a gamma ray simulator to lure Titans, later regarded as a "Suzuki device."

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters
In 1955, Dr. Keiko Miura and Bill Randa traveled to Hateruma Island to investigate recent isotopic signatures recorded in Japan that suggested a Titan. There, they found Dr. Kosaku Suzuki working on a large, spherical machine floating on a canoe. He apologized for not being prepared for their arrival, as the local residents were too terrified to bring him messages and his assistant had fled the scene. He explained that the device he constructed was a gamma ray simulator and that the more signals he simulated, the more gamma radiation was generated in response. Miura called it a Titan phone; Bill deemed it Titan bait.
Later, the Suzuki Device transmitted from a canoe floated offshore. Bill was impatient with the lack of results, but Suzuki urged him to be patient. He asked if Bill and Miura had ever seen a Titan. She described them as terrifying, thrilling him, as "miracles should be terrifying." Colonel Lee Shaw arrived in a Jeep, having skipped the Monarch budget proposal meeting he was supposed to attend in the United States. Bill introduced Shaw to Suzuki, then ushered the scientist away so that Shaw and Miura could talk. "Terrifying Miracles"
Seven years later, in 1962, Suzuki took part in Operation Hourglass, a mission where Shaw and a team would enter and explore the Hollow Earth through a portal discovered in Kansas. Once the team entered the pod, Suzuki activated his gamma ray simulator to lure a Titan to the portal, as the portal was normally too unstable to enter unless a Titan passed through, which would temporarily stabilize it. Once a Titan had been drawn, the signal was cut to ensure the Titan would turn around, allowing the capsule to follow it. The capsule and simulator were successfully launched and plummeted into the hole. However, the plan immediately went wrong as the capsule began malfunctioning while the rift became unstable on the surface, creating a vortex sucking in everything in its vicinity. Suzuki watched in horror as the rift imploded, with the entire team presumed lost. "Axis Mundi"
