Suzuki who resides on Maui is a big fan of BJ Penn and asked State House Representative Jerry Chang to set up a private meeting.
Penn met Suzuki in his Hilo gym where the two exchanged autographs. Later that day Suzuki greeted fans at the Prince Kuhio Plaza for an autograph session before flying back to Maui.
