Biography

She was born in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan.[1][2] She attended Kinjo Gakuin University junior college, but eventually dropped out.[3] She is a natori (Japanese equivalent of "Master's degree" in Japanese classical dance)[4] of the Japanese dance Nagoya Nishikawa.

She attended the Haiyuza Theatre Company[3] (with Toshiyuki Hosokawa, Tetsuo Ishidate, Orie Sato, Katsutoshi Shin, Mieko Yuki, Junko Maya, among others).[5][1] Thereafter she joined the theater company Sankikai, and signed a contract with Shochiku.

From November 1969, she succeeded Mitsuko Baisho, serving as the hostess of the TV Night Show (Fuji TV) until March 1970. In 1978 she portrayed "Madame Maigret" in the Japanese TV series Tokyo Megure Keishi, based on Georges Simenon's Jules Maigret.[6][7] For her portrayal of Mrs. Maigret in this series, she was praised by Simenon himself, who considered her "Madame Maigret" the best he had ever seen.[8]

Sato has appeared in many movies and television series, and is well known for her beauty and voice.[9][1] Her role in Please say hello to men is representative of her work.[1]

When she was 38 years old, she was interviewed by the Asahi Shimbun, and it then turned out that it had been incorrectly written that she was 48 years old in her biography. A corrected version was published immediately thereafter. She also ended up writing an article in a weekly magazine where she wrote that she was an "actress who had the Asahi Shimbun of Japan correct her."

Personal life

Her blood type is O. She is 1.65 m (5 ft 5 in) tall. In 1969, her three sizes were B85cm, W58cm, H88cm.[10][11]
