Keiichi Sato (さとう けいいち, Satō Keiichi, born December 18, 1965) is a Japanese animation director, mecha and character designer born in Kagawa Prefecture.[1]
In 1996, Sato met with Kazuyoshi Katayama to begin work on The Big O. Until then, Sato's work consisted mainly of designing characters and supervising animation for anime series.
