Biography

Satō was born in Ōta, Tokyo, Japan on July 1, 1946.

As an actor

As a child, he joined a children's theater troupe and worked as a child actor.[1] While he was able to balance it out with school, he hated not being able to have fun on Sunday.[1] While in junior high school and Tokyo Metropolitan Shiba Commercial High School,[2] he was a member of the drama club. In his freshman year of high school, he played the lead role and his troupe placed fifth in the metropolitan tournament.[1]

He continued to act while attending the Faculty of Commerce at Komazawa University,[3] but dropped out to form a theater group.[1]

After graduating from the Aoyama Sugisaku Memorial Acting School,[4] Satō joined the Sogen Theater Company[3] and worked as a stage actor while holding down several part-time jobs.[1]

As a voice actor

After that, Akira Kamiya, a high school classmate and former member of the same drama club who already started working as a voice actor,[5] offered Satō a voice acting job, asking, "Would you like to try it if you'd like?"[1] After worrying about it for about two months, and partly because he had been married, he thought, "Oh well, let's give it a try," and after an interview with no test, he officially joined Aoni Production[3] and began his career as a voice actor.[1]

For the Galaxy Express 999 television anime , Satō served as a regular cast member from the beginning, blessed with the opportunity to take on various roles, which lead him to discover the fascination of voice acting.[1] It ended up serving as a turning point for him to be entrusted with important roles, and subsequent roles continued to lead into one another afterward.[1] Regarding this, Akira Kamiya nodded deeply, saying, "Come to think of it, my range of work just kept expanding through the connections of my managers and directors."[1]

Current activity

He currently serves as a lecturer in the Voice Acting Course, Department of Broadcasting at Osaka University of Arts.[6][7][8][9][10]
