We review the first results of Suzaku on galactic compact objects. Suzaku can cover the energy band 0.3-600 keV with a combination of the X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (XIS) and the Hard X-ray Detector (HXD). A sharp line-spread function of the XIS enables us to carry out high-quality line spectroscopy. The unprecedented high sensitivity of the HXD above 10 keV makes it possible to measure the continuum X-ray with high precision, which is essentially important for iron K-line diagnostics. The effective area of the XRT is comparable to that of XMM-Newton in the band above 6 keV. These characteristics are essentially important for observing the X-ray binaries. In this paper, we summarize the highlights of the Suzaku observations from X-ray pulsars, black hole binaries, and cataclysmic variables, and so on.
